Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) Services
simpleITR
In 2025, with the rise of fully digital government portals and e-governance mandates under the Information Technology Act, 2000 (as amended), a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is no longer optional—it’s essential for secure, legally binding online transactions. Whether you’re a CA filing ITRs, a director signing MCA forms, an exporter using ICEGATE, or a vendor in e-tenders, our DSC services ensure 100% compliance with the latest CCA (Controller of Certifying Authorities) guidelines, including mandatory Class 3 for all statutory filings and enhanced Aadhaar-based eKYC.
As a Licensed Registration Authority (LRA) partner of trusted Certifying Authorities like Capricorn CA, eMudhra, and PantaSign, we deliver genuine, CCA-approved DSCs with zero rejections. We’ve empowered over 1,50,000+ professionals, MSMEs, and enterprises since 2017, all while adhering to the strictest data privacy under DPDP Act, 2023.
2025 DSC Rules & Compliance Highlights
Under the CCA’s updated Interoperability Guidelines (effective January 2025), DSCs must now incorporate ECDSA with SHA-2 hashing and NIST P-256 curves for enhanced security against quantum threats. Key mandates include:
- Mandatory Class 3 for All Filings: Class 2 discontinued since 2021; only Class 3 DSCs are accepted on MCA V3, GSTN, Income Tax e-filing, and GEM portals.
- Validity Periods: 1, 2, or 3 years (renewal must start 30 days pre-expiry to avoid disruptions; late renewals attract extra verification).
- eKYC & Video Verification: Aadhaar OTP + biometric/video mandatory for issuance/renewal to prevent fraud.
- Revocation & Verification: Real-time OCSP/CRL checks required; signatures remain valid if affixed during certificate validity, even post-expiry (per CCA rules).
- Legal Validity: Fully equivalent to wet-ink signatures under IT Act Section 3A; accepted in courts, contracts, and international treaties (e.g., UNCITRAL Model Law).
- Special 2025 Updates: DGFT mandates encryption-enabled DSCs for all ICEGATE filings; e-tenders over ₹10 lakh require organization-level Class 3.
Non-compliance can lead to filing rejections, penalties up to ₹1 lakh, or portal bans—don’t risk it!
