What is a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)?
A digital signature is an electronic version of a hand signature but it doesn’t mean it is a photograph of the hand signature. It’s a certificate in an electronic form that is used for signing the returns, documents, and other forms. E-forms are signed online using a digital signature. Once signed it provides the consent of the signer for the respective purpose.
The certificate is used by the Certifying Authorities (CA’s) in India like Emudhra, Capricorn, NIC, and a few others. A certifying authority is the one who has been granted a license to issue a digital signature under Information Technology Act,2000.
