What is a Digital Signature Certificate?
A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is the electronic equivalent of a physical signature. Issued by licensed Certifying Authorities, it verifies your identity when you sign documents and forms online. A Class 3 DSC is the standard required today for most government portals.
Where you need a DSC
- Company and LLP incorporation and annual MCA filings
- GST registration and returns for companies and LLPs
- Income tax returns that require digital signing, including audit reports
- E-tenders, GeM and e-procurement portals
- DGFT applications such as the Import Export Code
Types of DSC
- Signing DSC – for signing documents and forms (most common).
- Encryption DSC – for encrypting documents, required on some tender portals.
- Combo DSC – signing and encryption together.
Certificates are available for individuals and for authorised signatories of organisations, with validity of one, two or three years.
How issuance works
