Can two companies have the same CIN number?

No, two companies cannot have the same CIN (Corporate Identification Number).

The CIN is a unique alphanumeric code assigned to each registered company in India by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. It serves as a distinct identifier for a specific company, encompassing details about its registration state, type, and other relevant information. This ensures that each entity maintains its individuality within the regulatory framework, aiding in the accurate identification and tracking of companies. The CIN plays a crucial role in preventing confusion, facilitating transparency, and streamlining regulatory processes, as it serves as a digital fingerprint for each registered business entity in the country. Therefore, the uniqueness of CINs is a fundamental aspect of regulatory compliance and corporate governance.
