Overview

Secure digital identity for modern business

A Digital Signature Certificate is an electronic key issued by government-licensed Certifying Authorities that verifies the signer’s identity and gives legal validity to electronic documents under the Information Technology Act 2000. It’s essential for MCA filings, e-tenders, income tax e-filing, DGFT systems and many regulatory workflows.

Class 3 DSC offers the highest assurance — required for Ministry/ROC filings and e-tenders. Issued to individuals, valid for 1 or 2 years. We assist with document checks, CA verification and instant issuance support.
