Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)
Get the Class 3 DSC you need to file ROC forms, GST returns, tenders and income tax filings digitally. Leegal manages issuance end-to-end.
What Is a Digital Signature Certificate?
A Digital Signature Certificate is an electronic equivalent of a physical signature, issued by a licensed certifying authority, used to sign documents and file forms securely on government portals like the MCA, GST and income tax e-filing systems.
Class 3 DSCs are the standard requirement for most business filings today, including company/LLP incorporation, ROC filings, GST registration and returns, and e-tendering.
| DSC-Enabled Filing | Without a DSC |
|---|---|
| Can file ROC forms, GST returns and IT returns online | Cannot complete most statutory online filings |
| Can participate in e-tenders and e-procurement | Excluded from most government e-tender portals |
| Signature is legally valid and tamper-evident | Relies on physical signature and courier processes |
| Faster turnaround on time-sensitive filings | Slower, paper-dependent processes |
