Quoting of Firm Registration No

It is understood that the Council of ICAI has recently decided requiring CAs signing on professional documents to also quote the Registration Number of the Firm. Whether this applies only to a partnership firm where a partner signing on behalf of the firm has to quote the Registration Number of the Firm, or the partner has also to quote his own Membership Number along with the Firm Registration number. Whether the decision requires a member practising in his individual capacity as a sole proprietor also to quote his own Membership Number?. Clarity on this would be welcome.
