I can not see any limitations on practicing in Individual Name and ICAI should not place any form of limitations on practicing in individual name.
If Member is practicing in his/her Individual name and there is no FRN, Member can mention NA/Not Applicable at the place of FRN.
Only full time “Practicing Chartered accountants” with Active status can Sign/attest documents and hence can also generate UDIN. However in case of Partnership firm or LLP only signing partner can generate UDIN and no one else in behalf of the signing partner can generate UDIN. The FRN of the firm on behalf of which the member is signing the report has to be mentioned. In case there is no FRN as member as the member is signing in his individual capacity then “NA” would be mentioned.
