Class 3 Signing DSC (Normal DSC — ₹1,500/-)

The Normal Class 3 Signing Certificate is the statutory standard for company directors, chartered accountants, legal signatories, and authorized tax representatives. Priced at ₹1,500/- (all-inclusive for 2 years validity with a brand-new hardware USB crypto token), it enables secure digital signing on MCA ROC e-Forms (SPICe+, DIR-3 KYC, AOC-4, MGT-7), Income Tax Returns (ITR-6, Form 3CD, Form 10B), GST portal filings (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-9C), EPFO, and DGFT portals. Issuance is 100% paperless via Aadhaar-linked OTP and a 30-second video e-KYC verification.

02

Class 3 Combo DSC (Signing + Encryption — ₹2,200/-)

The Combo Class 3 DSC integrates two distinct cryptographic certificates within a single token: a User Signing Certificate for document authentication and an Encryption Certificate for public-key ciphering. Priced at ₹2,200/- (all-inclusive for 2 years validity with a FIPS-certified USB token), this dual-certificate architecture is legally mandatory for e-Tendering and online commercial bidding across the Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP), Government e-Marketplace (GeM), Indian Railways (IREPS), State PWDs, Defence procurement, and ICEGATE customs clearance. The encryption component ensures your financial bids remain sealed until technical opening.

Frequently Asked Regulatory & Compliance Questions

Authoritative insights structured for executive boards, corporate proprietors, and regulatory compliance

1

What is the difference between Normal DSC (₹1,500) and Combo DSC (₹2,200)?

Normal DSC (₹1,500) contains a Class 3 Signing Certificate used for statutory returns, ITR e-filing, GST, MCA ROC forms, and EPFO. Combo DSC (₹2,200) contains both a Signing Certificate and an Encryption Certificate on a single FIPS USB token, which is legally mandatory for government e-tenders (CPPP, GeM, IREPS, Defence) to encrypt bid documents.
Key Takeaway: Choose Normal (₹1,500) for tax/MCA compliance; choose Combo (₹2,200) for government tenders and bidding.
2

What documents are required to apply for a Class 3 DSC online?

For an individual DSC, you need: (1) PAN Card copy, (2) Aadhaar Card copy (with mobile linked for OTP verification), (3) Passport-size photograph, and (4) an active mobile number and email ID for the 30-second video e-KYC verification. For organizational DSCs, additional documents like the Certificate of Incorporation, GSTIN, and Board Authorization are required.
Key Takeaway: 100% paperless verification using Aadhaar OTP and a 30-second mobile video.
3

How long does it take to issue and deliver the USB Token?

Once you complete the online document upload and 30-second video verification, approval from the Certifying Authority takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes. The physical FIPS 140-2 Level 2 USB Crypto Token is configured and dispatched on the same business day via priority courier.
Key Takeaway: Fast-track 30-minute approval with same-day priority dispatch Pan-India.
4

Can I use the same DSC for MCA21 V3, GST, and Income Tax?

Yes. A Class 3 Signing Certificate registered under your PAN can be registered across MCA21 V3, Income Tax e-Filing Portal 2.0, GSTN Portal, and EPFO simultaneously. It serves as your unified statutory digital identity.
Key Takeaway: Single DSC works seamlessly across all Indian regulatory portals.
