Frequently Asked Questions
Class-2 vs Class-3 DSC — which do I need?
Class-2 DSCs were discontinued by CCA in January 2021. All current filings (MCA, GST, IT, tenders) require Class-3 DSCs only.
How long is a DSC valid?
1, 2 or 3 years (you choose). 3-year DSC offers best value. Renewal must be done before expiry — the same token can be re-used.
Can I get a DSC without a USB token?
Yes — EmSign Mobile DSC, eMudhra Cloud DSC and Aadhaar e-Sign are token-less alternatives. They suit individuals filing GST/ITR but not preferred for MCA SPICe+.
Do foreign nationals & NRIs need apostille for DSC?
Yes. Passport and address proof must be apostilled in their country before applying for an Indian DSC (typical for foreign directors in Indian subsidiaries).
Lost / forgot DSC token password — what now?
Tokens cannot be reset. A fresh DSC must be applied for. We expedite re-issuance using saved KYC if within validity.
