DSC Class 3

DSC Class 3 is a high-security Digital Signature Certificate used for legally signing documents on government portals. It is needed by company directors for MCA filings, GST practitioners for GST returns, CA/CS for Income Tax filings, and anyone participating in e-Procurement or GeM tenders. Class 3 is the highest level of DSC and is accepted on all government portals.

Class 2 DSC is used for less sensitive documents and is verified against a pre-verified database, while Class 3 DSC requires in-person or video verification and provides the highest level of security. Most government portals like GST, MCA, DGFT, GeM and Income Tax require Class 3 DSC only.

DSC Class 3 is available with 1-year or 2-year validity. You can choose the duration at the time of application. It is important to renew the DSC before expiry, otherwise you will not be able to sign documents on government portals. We send reminders for timely renewal.
