A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is the electronic equivalent of a handwritten signature, issued on a secure USB token by a licensed Certifying Authority. Government portals require a Class 3 DSC.
- Directors, partners and authorised signatories need one for MCA/ROC, GST and income-tax filings.
- It is also mandatory for e-tendering and e-procurement.
- A DSC is typically valid for 1–3 years and must be renewed before expiry.
Issuance needs PAN, Aadhaar and a photo, with a quick video verification.
