Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)
A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is the digital equivalent of a physical signature, used to authenticate and sign documents electronically. It ensures secure communication and legal recognition in online filings and registrations.
There are 3 types of DSCs (Class 1, Class 2, Class 3), with Class 3 DSC being the most widely used for business and government filings. It contains details like your name, PAN, email, and issuing authority, and is stored on a USB token for secure usage.
