Class 3 Individual Digital Signature

What is a Class 3 Individual DSC?

A Class 3 Individual Digital Signature Certificate is the highest-assurance signature issued to a single person. It binds a verified identity to a tamper-evident cryptographic key, so any document signed with it is legally enforceable under the IT Act, 2000.

Customers choose a Signing certificate to sign and authenticate documents, or a Combo (Sign + Encrypt) when they also need to encrypt and decrypt confidential data — required for most e-tendering portals. Knowing the difference helps you recommend the right option and close faster.

Who needs it?

This is the everyday certificate for individuals signing in a personal or professional capacity — a steady, repeating market for your partner business:

• Chartered Accountants, Company Secretaries & Cost Accountants
• Advocates, tax practitioners & consultants
• Company directors & designated partners filing in their own name
• Salaried & self-employed individuals filing their own returns

Where it's used

One certificate works across virtually every government and corporate e-portal that accepts a Class 3 signature — which is why demand is constant:

• Income Tax e-filing — ITR, audit reports & form filings
• MCA / ROC filings & e-forms
