Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is a secure digital key issued by a licensed certifying authority that verifies the identity of the certificate holder. It is used to electronically sign documents, forms, and applications, making them legally valid and tamper-proof under Indian IT laws. DSC is mandatory for filing various government documents such as MCA e-forms, GST returns, income tax filings, EPFO filings, and more. It ensures data integrity, authentication, and faster approval in digital processes.
