When conducting business digitally, DSC helps validate the holder’s information data.
A Digital Signature Certificate holder is not obliged to be physically present to conduct or approve the business. Instead of physically signing papers and scanning them to submit through email, the holder can immediately sign hard copy documents online using DSC.
Digitally signed papers offer the receiver trust in the signer’s authenticity. They can continue and take action based on such documents without fear of the documents being faked.
Digitally signed documents cannot be altered once they are signed, making the data secure. To validate business transactions, government agencies request DSCs.

You may purchase digital signature certificates with one, two, or three years of validity. (The regulating authority, the Controller of Certifying Authority CCA, controls this validity. You cannot buy a DSC with a validity period of less than one year or greater than three years.)
The Digital Signature is required during the following times:
The certifying authorities issue three types of Digital Signature certificates. These include:
The Class 1 DSC is issued to individual subscribers, and it confirms that the user’s name and email address are stored in the certifying authority’s database.
Class 2 DSCs are granted to company directors and signing authorities for electronic filing with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). Individuals who would sign manual documents while filing returns with the ROC must use a Class 2 digital signature. However, starting on January 1, 2021, the Controller of Certifying Authority has directed that Class 2 DSC be discontinued. In place of Class 2 DSC, Class 3 DSC will be issued.
A Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate is granted to company directors/authorised signatories, professionals, and others for digitally signing documents. To participate in the online bids, suppliers must also have a Class 3 DSC.
To issue a Digital Signature, there is no need for physical verification.
