What is a cin number?

A CIN (Corporate Identification Number) is a unique 21-digit alphanumeric code assigned to registered Indian companies by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. It is mandatory for all Indian companies to have a CIN, and it is used to identify and verify the details of a company, such as its registration date, type of business entity, and location. The CIN is usually displayed on the company's business documents, website, and official correspondence. It helps in ensuring transparency, accountability, and credibility in the corporate sector.
