Sign documents digitally — required for MCA, GST, ITR
Get a Class 3 DSC valid for 2 years with USB token.
Overview
A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is the legally-recognised electronic equivalent of your handwritten signature. Issued under the Information Technology Act, 2000 by Licensed Certifying Authorities (eMudhra, Capricorn, Sify, NSDL, e-Mudhra and a handful of others), a DSC is mandatory for filing with MCA (company registration, ROC returns), GST (e-invoicing for high-turnover taxpayers), Income Tax (audit reports, transfer pricing), DGFT (IEC), EPFO, ESIC, and every government e-tender portal.
DSCs come in two classes: Class 2 (deprecated since 2021) and Class 3. Class 3 is the only valid class today for any government, tender or MCA filing. Class 3 DSCs come in Signing-only (for documents, ROC, IT) and Sign + Encrypt (for tenders, GeM, e-procurement). For RegisterEase, the default recommendation is Class 3 Signing + Encryption with a 2-year validity USB token — works for every filing need a founder will ever face.
RegisterEase issues your DSC in 1–2 working days via Aadhaar-based e-KYC — fully paperless, no notary, no physical verification. Our process: you fill a 1-page application, complete an Aadhaar OTP-based video KYC, choose Signing-only or Sign+Encrypt, and your DSC is dispatched as an encrypted USB token to your address. We also handle DGFT-Class 3, IRDA-Class 3 and Foreign DSCs for NRI directors.
Many DIY DSC applications get rejected because of small mismatches between PAN, Aadhaar and bank records — typically address or name spelling. Our experts pre-check your KYC data against UIDAI, PAN database and CKYC and resolve any issues before submission, achieving a 99.6% first-time approval rate. We also help with DSC renewal (cannot be revived after expiry — must reissue), token unlock if you forget the PIN, and encryption certificate recovery.
A Class 3 DSC is required for: company incorporation (directors), every annual ROC filing (AOC-4, MGT-7), DIN application, ITR filing for companies and audited businesses, GST registration & e-invoicing, IEC issuance, GeM listing, every government e-tender, DGFT exports, IRDA insurance broker registration, and EPF/ESIC employer login. Without a valid DSC, you simply cannot transact with the government online.

Customer Reviews
Real reviews from 18+ verified founders who registered their Private Limited Company with RegisterEase. From Mumbai to Guwahati, Kolkata to Kochi.
I was honestly tired of agents asking ₹15-20k upfront with no clarity. Paid only ₹2,499 on RegisterEase, my draft MoA and AoA were ready on day 4, and they explained every clause before submitting SPICe+. Incorporation certificate landed on day 16. The transparent state-wise stamp duty calculator was the deciding factor for me.
My co-founder is in Singapore so we needed help with the Apostille for his director documents. The relationship manager handled the entire foreign-director workflow without us chasing. DIN, DSC and PAN/TAN all came together. Will recommend to every founder I meet.
Other portals quoted me ₹9,500 'all-inclusive' and then asked extra for AoA stamp duty. Here the calculator showed me Tamil Nadu stamp duty (₹520) upfront. Final cost matched the quote to the rupee. That's rare in this industry.
Whole process was clean — got name approval in 5 days, MoA review email arrived as promised. The eMudhra DSC was slightly delayed because of the video KYC re-attempt, but support called and resolved it the same evening. 4 stars only because of that one delay, otherwise easily 5.
Stamp duty in Gujarat is on the higher side because of the AoA percentage rule. Their team explained it patiently and even suggested keeping authorised capital at ₹1 lakh to save ~₹2,500. Tiny advice that mattered. Got my COI within 19 days end-to-end.
What sold me was that I paid ₹1,499 upfront and reviewed all the drafts before paying the balance. I made 2 changes to the MoA object clause and they redid it without complaining. This is how every legal service should work.
We are a D2C apparel brand and needed a watertight object clause covering both manufacturing and marketplace sales. The CA spent a full 25 minute call with me drafting it. Two MCA queries were resolved by their team without me even knowing. Incorporation certificate landed in 18 days.
Pro plan was worth the extra ₹1,000. They verified all my docs the same evening I uploaded. Telangana stamp duty was correctly calculated (we have the 0.15% AoA rule). MSME certificate also done as part of the package. Highly professional outfit.
I had zero idea about MCA, SPICe+, INC-32 — all of it. Their executive walked me through every form on a screen-share call. Even helped me pick the right NIC code for my consultancy business. Got the COI in 22 days. Thank you team!
