DSC Procurement.
A Digital Signature Certificate is the electronic signature directors, partners and authorised signatories use for MCA, income-tax and GST filings. Only certifying authorities licensed by the Controller of Certifying Authorities can issue one, and individual signing certificates are now issued as Class 3 on a FIPS-validated USB crypto token. We arrange the certificate, support verification and register it on the MCA portal.
Typically 1–2 working days once documents are ready; certifying authorities generally issue within a day of completed verification. Foreign nationals can take longer because of video verification across time zones.

DSC Procurement, step by step.
Typically 1–2 working days once documents are ready; certifying authorities generally issue within a day of completed verification. Foreign nationals can take longer because of video verification across time zones.
- 1
Certificate application
We raise the application with a licensed certifying authority, choosing an individual or organisational certificate and a validity of one to three years.
- 2
Identity verification
You complete eKYC through Aadhaar, PAN or bank records, with live video verification of your original documents where the method requires it.
- 3
Token issue
The key pair is generated on a FIPS 140-2 validated crypto token and the certificate is downloaded to it; you set the PIN.
- 4
MCA registration
We register you as a business user on the MCA21 V3 portal and associate the DSC with your DIN or PAN.
- 5
Expiry tracking
We record the expiry date and remind you before it lapses, so filings are not held up.
What we need from you.
Don't have everything yet? We send a short checklist after the first call and work with what you have.
- PAN
- Aadhaar, or another government ID showing your address
- Passport-size photograph
- Personal mobile number and email for OTP verification
- For foreign nationals, passport and a recent address proof such as a bank statement or utility bill
- Authorisation letter from the organisation, for an organisational certificate
The fee depends on your situation. After a short call, the partner who will do the work tells you what's involved and gives you a fixed fee in writing — before any work begins.
- Government fees and statutory charges are billed at actuals.
- When you pay — upfront, in stages or on completion — is agreed in writing with the fee.
