The CIN (Corporate Identification Number) is a unique, 21-digit alphanumeric code assigned to every company registered in India by the Registrar of Companies (RoC) under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). It's essentially a company's identity proof and is mandatory for all companies (public, private, one-person companies, etc.) registered in India. Think of it as the company's Aadhaar or Social Security Number.
