ICAI Members who have missed generating UDIN can now generate till 28 Feb 2021

This has reference to the Condonation Scheme to regularize UDINs announced by the ICAI vide its announcement dated 28^th December 2020. As per the scheme, the documents signed between 1^st Feb, 2019 till 31^st Dec, 2020 the UDINs can be generated during 1^st Jan, 2021 to 31^st Jan, 2021.

The requests have been received from Practicing Chartered Accountants from different parts of the country for extension of the time limit for compliance with the UDIN requirement under Condonation Scheme as they could not take advantage of the scheme due to various statutory compliances. Further many members were in the impression that the UDINs can be generated till 31. Jan. 2021 for the documents issued from 1. Jan. 2021 till 16th Jan. 2021 also.

In view of above, it is being informed to the members that all the missed UD1Ns between the period 1^st Feb, 2019 to 31^St Jan, 2021 can now be generated up to 28^th Feb,2021 and this be taken as extension of the Condonation Scheme announced previously.

However, it may be noted that for all the documents signed from 1^st Feb, 2021 onwards, the original guidance for generation of UDIN i.e on the same day or within 15 days will have to be followed.
