FAQs
Last updated:
One Class 3 Individual DSC works across MCA21 V3, the Income Tax e-Filing portal, GST, EPFO, ICEGATE, TRACES and most central and state e-tender portals. You do not need a separate certificate for each portal — the same certificate is registered on every portal you file on.
A signing-only certificate is enough for Income Tax, GST, MCA21 and EPFO filings. Choose the combo (signing + encryption) certificate if you bid on e-tender portals where the financial bid must be encrypted before upload.
A PAN card, Aadhaar with the mobile number linked for OTP, a recent passport-size photograph and a working email ID. A 30-second Video KYC replaces all physical paperwork — nothing needs to be couriered or attested.
Class 3 Individual certificates are issued with 1-year, 2-year or 3-year validity. Longer validity lowers the per-year cost and reduces how often you re-register the certificate on each portal; renewal issues a fresh certificate rather than extending the old one.
No. A Class 3 Individual DSC is issued in the name of one named person after their own Video KYC and is legally tied to that individual. Every director, partner or CA who signs must hold their own certificate.
Yes. CCA India norms require every Class 3 certificate to be stored on a FIPS-compliant USB token. If you already own a FIPS token from an earlier certificate, you can reuse it and skip the token add-on.
