Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about DSC Certificate
A Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is the highest level of electronic security certificate issued by Certifying Authorities (CAs like eMudhra, Capricorn, VSign, Pantasign) under the Information Technology Act, 2000. It is legally mandatory for: MCA Company Incorporations & Director KYC, Income Tax E-Filing & Audits, GST Portal filings, ICEGATE Customs, EPFO/ESIC employer portals, and Government E-Tendering (GeM / CPPP).
A Signing DSC is used for authenticating identity and signing digital forms on MCA, Income Tax, GST, and DGFT portals. A Combo (Signing + Encryption) DSC contains dual keys (one for signing and one for encrypting bid documents) and is legally mandatory for participating in Central/State Government E-Tenders and e-Auctions.
Our direct paperless e-KYC integration allows us to process video verification and issue your Class 3 DSC within 30 to 60 minutes. The pre-configured FIPS-certified USB Token (HYP2003 / ePass2003) is dispatched via express courier or configured for instant remote signing.
Your DSC is processed by our certified Digital Identity and Cryptographic Compliance Team. We assist with live Aadhaar OTP e-KYC, guide you through the 30-second mobile video verification, and configure the USB token drivers.
A Class 3 DSC can be issued for a validity period of 1 Year, 2 Years, or 3 Years. Most business owners and directors choose the 2-Year or 3-Year validity to avoid annual renewal hassles.
