Service Overview

A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is the electronic equivalent of a physical paper signature, legally recognized under Section 3 of the Information Technology Act 2000. It establishes the identity of the signer and provides non-repudiation and integrity for electronic documents.

Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA) regulations now mandate 'Class 3' as the sole valid standard for all digital transactions in India. Whether incorporating a company, filing annual ROC returns, participating in government e-tenders (CPPP), or filing GST/ITR, a Class 3 DSC stored on a secure USB token is mandatory.

It is a password-protected hardware security device (like ProxKey or ePass2003) that stores the private key securely and prevents unauthorized copying or extraction of your digital signature.
