Frequently Asked Questions

A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is an electronic certificate issued by a licensed Certifying Authority. It helps authenticate the identity of the certificate holder and enables secure digital signing of electronic documents and transactions.

Individuals, company directors, business owners, professionals, partners and authorised representatives can apply for a DSC, subject to the applicable identity verification and documentation requirements.

Class 3 DSC is a certificate category used for applicable digital authentication and signing requirements, including certain statutory filings, online applications and business transactions. The appropriate certificate should be selected according to the platform's requirements.

The validity of a DSC depends on the certificate option selected from the Certifying Authority. Available validity periods, pricing and issuance conditions should be confirmed at the time of application.

Many DSCs are issued or stored using a compatible cryptographic USB token. The exact storage and usage method depends on the certificate type and the requirements of the issuing Certifying Authority and intended application.

An expired DSC cannot be used for signing. The holder can apply for a fresh certificate or follow the renewal or reissue process offered by the Certifying Authority, subject to its current rules and verification requirements.

A valid DSC is required for various MCA electronic filing and digital authentication activities performed by directors, professionals and authorised signatories, depending on the filing and their role.

The issuance timeline depends on the selected Certifying Authority, completeness of the application, successful identity verification and any additional requirements. The certificate is issued after the prescribed process is completed successfully.

A DSC may be used for multiple eligible digital signing activities if its certificate type, purpose and platform requirements permit such use. Some platforms or transactions may require a specific certificate category or configuration.

No. Your USB token, private key and PIN should remain under your control. Never share your token or PIN with anyone, and always verify the documents before applying your digital signature.
