Practising CAs have to register at UDIN portal (https://udin.icai.org/) to obtain UDIN. To authenticate the documents by various Regulators/Banks/Authorities/Other Stakeholders, practicing CAs have to provide some financial figures and details which are found in the certificate issued. 

Further, ICAI has clarified that for generating UDIN, no certificates are required to be uploaded on the portal.
