The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, in its gazette notification dated 2nd August, 2019, had made generation of UDIN from ICAI website mandatory for every kind of certificate/ tax audit report and other attests made by their members as required by various regulators. This was introduced to curb fake certifications by non-CAs misrepresenting themselves as CAs.
UDINs for certain IT Forms which have been uploaded on e-filing Portal by the Members during 27th April 2020 to 26th Nov 2020 have not yet been updated resulting invalidation of these forms. CBDT has given the extension for updating UDINs on all above stated forms and can be done latest by 15th February, 2021. ICAI has directed Chartered Accountants to update UDINs in all Income Tax Forms. The announcement is as follows-
