ICAI Aligns the Time Limit of Generating UDIN from 15 days to 60 days



Quick Summary
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has extended the time limit for generating a UDIN (Unique Document Identification Number). Previously set at 15 days from the signing of documents, this period has now been increased to 60 days. This change aims to align with established auditing standards, specifically SQC 1 and SA-230, which allow up to 60 days for the assembly of audit files. However, for documents requiring immediate UDIN generation as per regulatory or stakeholder needs, members must still comply with those specific timelines.

The Council of Institute of Chartered Accountants of India in its 405th meeting held on 17th September 2021 has decided that the time limit of generating UDIN would be 60 days from the date of the signing of certificates/reports/document instead of 15 days henceforth.
