Process steps for obtaining a DIGITAL SIGNATURE CERTIFICATE (DSC)

Welcome to the world of DIGITAL SIGNATURE

The Ministry of Company Affairs, Government of India, through its new e-initiative MCA-21, mandated that all filing of Forms and Returns to the Registrar of Companies (ROC), like Annual Returns etc., have to be  carried out electronically through its website mca.gov.in .

It is mandatory for all Directors and Company Secretaries in employment who will be signing the Returns / Forms to have a DSC as also the Practising Company Secretaries who will be pre-certifying such documents.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is a partner in the MCA-21 initiative with the Ministry and is one of the Certifying Authorities for the issue of Digital Signature Certificate (DSC). Link Intime  is priviledged to act as a Registration Authority (RA) under TCS, to facilitate the issue of DSC.
