A Class 3 Individual DSC is issued in your personal name and is what any director, partner, proprietor, or professional needs to sign documents digitally on government portals. Since January 2021, this is the only class of DSC the Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA) issues — it replaced the older Class 2 certificate and now covers everything Class 2 used to, plus high-security use cases like e-tendering. We manage your application, Aadhaar e-KYC, video verification call, and token setup, so you're signing-ready within a day.
- Valid across every major portal: GST, Income Tax e-filing, MCA/ROC, DGFT, EPFO, GeM, and state e-tender portals
- One certificate covers both signing and — if you choose the combo option — encryption
- Comes loaded on a PIN-protected USB token you control
- Legally equivalent to a handwritten signature under the IT Act, 2000
- Fast local issuance — no need to courier documents outside Bangalore
- Indian citizens with a valid PAN and Aadhaar
- Company directors, LLP partners, sole proprietors, freelancers, and salaried professionals who file on government portals
- Non-resident Indians (see our Foreign / NRI DSC page if you don't hold an Indian Aadhaar)

1 hour from completed video verification, provided all documents are in order. 1-hour issuance is possible for walk-ins arriving before noon.
Our "DSC in 1 hour" claim covers a Class 3 Individual DSC for Indian citizens who walk into our Nagavara office between 10 AM and 3 PM (Mon–Sat) with a valid PAN, an Aadhaar linked to an active mobile number, and are able to complete the Certifying Authority's video verification on the spot. It assumes CCA and Aadhaar UIDAI systems are up and OTPs are received on the first attempt.
- •Organisation, DGFT, ICEGATE, FSSAI and Foreign/NRI DSCs need extra verification and typically take longer — see the timeline above.
- •Doorstep pickup, courier delivery, or after-hours requests add ~4 hours on top of the 1-hour issuance window.
- •Portal outages at the CCA, UIDAI or Certifying Authority are outside our control and can extend timelines.
