Sign Documents Digitally — Legally Valid, Secure, Instant
A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is the electronic equivalent of a physical signature — a cryptographic key pair that uniquely identifies the signer and authenticates documents signed digitally. DSCs in India are issued by Certifying Authorities (CAs) licensed by the Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA) under the Information Technology Act, 2000.
DSC is mandatory for a wide range of government filings: MCA company/LLP incorporation and annual filings, GST registration and returns, Income Tax returns and audit reports (for entities), DGFT IEC and export filings, EPFO and ESIC filings, tenders on GeM and CPPP portals, and e-procurement platforms. DSC comes in Class 3 (individual — for company filings) and Organisation (DGFT) variants. Validity is 1, 2, or 3 years.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a crypto token and do I need it for DSC?
A crypto token (USB pen-drive-like device) is required to store your DSC private key securely. It is mandatory for Class 3 DSC. VITTAX provides the token along with the DSC.
Can I use one DSC for all government portals?
Class 3 DSC works on MCA, GST portal, Income Tax portal, EPFO, ESIC, and most e-procurement portals. DGFT requires a specific DGFT-class DSC. You may need both if you are an exporter.
My DSC has expired — can I renew it?
Yes — DSC renewal is available and is cheaper than fresh issuance. VITTAX manages DSC renewals for all directors and signatories in our client base on a proactive basis.
