More about your Class 3 Individual DSC

Common questions before you apply. Tap any item to expand.

A Class 3 DSC is a cryptographic certificate that legally identifies you online — equivalent to your handwritten signature under the Information Technology Act, 2000. It's the only DSC class still issued in India (Class 1 and 2 were discontinued by CCA in January 2021). It's accepted for MCA21 filings, Income Tax e-filing, GST returns, DGFT, e-Tendering, patent and trademark filings, and many other government & private portals.

Both are CCA-licensed Certifying Authorities and produce equally valid DSCs. Pick based on preference:

  • Capricorn — our standard option. Lowest price, fast turnaround, supported by every Indian portal.
  • eMudhra — premium option. Many enterprise customers prefer eMudhra for brand recognition. Carries a small premium over Capricorn.

By law, your DSC private key must be stored on a tamper-resistant USB cryptographic token. If you already own a supported token (HyperPKI HYP2003, WatchData ProX, ePass 2003), select "I have a token" — we'll load the new DSC onto it. Otherwise pick "Buy New Token" and we'll ship one to you (free shipping in India, 24–48 hours).

Signature only lets you sign documents — sufficient for most filings (Income Tax, MCA21, GST, PDF signing, vendor onboarding).

Encryption Combo bundles a separate encryption certificate alongside the signing certificate. Required if you submit high-value bids on certain government tender portals where bid documents must be encrypted (in addition to signed).

  1. We email you a Video KYC link from the Certifying Authority (within 1 working hour).
  2. You upload your PAN and a recent photo through the CA portal.
  3. You record a 25-second self-verification video on your mobile or laptop.
  4. The CA approves and issues your DSC — usually 2–4 working hours after KYC.
  5. We load it on your USB token and ship it via DTDC (or you download it remotely if using your existing token).

You can pick 1, 2, or 3 years. During the validity period, sign as many documents as you want. After expiry the DSC stops working and you must apply afresh — DSC private keys are non-exportable by design, so a renewal is effectively a new application. We'll remind you 30 days before expiry.
