Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)

Your legally recognised digital identity for signing and encrypting online — issued under India's IT Act, 2000 by a CCA-licensed Certifying Authority.

Digital Signature Certificate
What is a DSC?

Your Digital Identity, Legally Recognised

A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is the digital equivalent of your handwritten signature, issued under the Information Technology Act, 2000. It authenticates your identity, ensures a signed document cannot be altered without detection, and is accepted across every major government and regulatory portal in India.

All DSCs issued today are RCAI Class 3 certificates — the only class the Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA) now permits, offering the highest level of identity assurance available under the Indian PKI hierarchy.

Choose What Fits Your Use Case

Certificate Types

A DSC is not one-size-fits-all. Care4Sign issues certificates across three dimensions — who the certificate identifies, what it is used for, and how long it remains valid.

Individual DSC

Identifies the applicant's name only. Ideal for personal filings, professional certifications, and individual agreements.

Individual with Organisation

Identifies applicant's name + organisation/designation. For authorised signatories acting on behalf of a company — GST, MCA filings, tenders, banking mandates.

Signing Certificate

Digitally signs documents and forms; guarantees authorship and integrity. Used for MCA e-filing, Income Tax, GST, EPFO portals.

Encryption Certificate

Encrypts data so only the intended recipient can read it. Required for e-Tendering and e-Procurement portals for bid encryption before submission.

Combo (Signing + Encryption)

One token carrying both certificates for dual capability. For tender participants who need to both sign and encrypt on the same portal.
