Corporate Identification Number

The Corporate Identification Number (CIN) is a unique 21-digit alphanumerical code that serves as an identity marker for companies registered in India. It is issued by the Registrar of Companies (ROC) under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). Every company must include its name, registered office address, and CIN in all business letters, billheads, letter papers, notices, and other official publications.

  • The first digit(s) of the CIN indicates the year in which the company was incorporated.
  • The subsequent set of characters signifies the type of company, distinguishing between various business structures.
  • The CIN includes a code representing the state in which the company is registered.
  • Next part of the CIN specifies whether the company is listed on a stock exchange.
  • The final set of digits uniquely identifies the company, distinguishing it from others registered in the same year and state.
