A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is the electronic equivalent of a physical signature, used to authenticate documents filed online with government portals like the MCA, Income Tax Department, and GST Network. DSCs are mandatory for company and LLP director filings, GST filings involving companies and LLPs, e-tendering, and various regulatory filings.
Types: Class 3 DSC is the current standard for all individual and organizational signing purposes, including MCA filings, income tax e-filing, GST, and e-tendering. A DGFT DSC is specifically used for import-export related filings on the DGFT portal.
Most DSCs are issued within 1-2 working days once verification is complete. Choose a 1 or 2 year validity based on your needs.
