💼 Class 3 Digital Signature Certificates (DSC)

Advanced Security for Individuals, Organizations & Foreign Applicants

A Class 3 DSC provides the highest level of security for online authentication and encrypted transactions. It comes in three variants:

• Signature-Only: Ideal for signing Income Tax returns, MCA filings, and legal documents

• Encryption-Only: Used to encrypt sensitive data for e-Tendering and secure transmissions

• Combo (Sign + Encrypt): Combines both functions for customs (ICEGATE), e-Bidding, DGFT, and high-security portals

These certificates are used by professionals, businesses, and foreign nationals across platforms like eProcurement, MCA21, GST, Income Tax, DGFT, IEC, and intellectual property e-filings.
