Frequently asked questions

Which DSC class should I buy?

Class 3 is the class currently issued for most uses, including e-tendering, GST, MCA and Income Tax. Tell us your portal and we will confirm the right type.

What is the difference between signing and encryption?

A signing certificate proves who signed a document. An encryption certificate protects its content. Many tender portals ask for both.

Do I need a USB token?

Yes. The DSC is stored on a secure USB token that you plug into your computer when you sign or log in.

How long is a DSC valid?

You can usually choose 1, 2 or 3 years. When it expires, renew it to keep signing online.

How long does it take to get a DSC?

It depends on your documents and the Certifying Authority's verification. We share an estimate after reviewing your documents.

Can one DSC be used on many portals?

Generally yes, if the portal accepts your certificate type. Check the portal's requirement before applying.
