CIN Registration (Corporate Identification Number)
Get Your Unique Company Identity with Consult Your Counsel
Every registered company in India is assigned a Corporate Identification Number (CIN) by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). This 21-digit alphanumeric code is like a unique ID for your company and is required for all legal and compliance matters.
At Consult Your Counsel, we ensure your CIN is obtained legally, quickly, and without errors—whether you’re forming a Private Limited Company, Public Limited Company, One Person Company (OPC), or a Section 8 Company.
What is CIN?

- It is issued by the Registrar of Companies (RoC) after a company is incorporated.
