DGFT DSC (Digital Signature Certificate) is a specialized digital signature required for accessing the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) portal and conducting export-import related activities in India. It serves as your digital identity for all DGFT online transactions.
The DGFT portal handles critical functions like IEC (Import Export Code) registration, license applications, MEIS/SEIS claims, Advance Authorization, EPCG scheme, and various export-import documentation. All these services require authentication through a valid Digital Signature Certificate.
A Digital Signature Certificate is issued by licensed Certifying Authorities (CAs) approved by the Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA), Government of India. For DGFT purposes, a Class 3 DSC with organization details is required, which provides the highest level of security and authentication.
At IncorpX, we provide complete DGFT DSC services including application processing, video KYC verification, USB token delivery, and installation support. Our team ensures same-day issuance for urgent requirements.
What is Digital Signature Certificate?
A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is an electronic form of signature that authenticates the identity of the signer and ensures the integrity of the signed document. It is the digital equivalent of a physical signature and is legally valid under the Information Technology Act, 2000.
DSC uses Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology. It contains a public key and a private key. The private key is stored securely on a USB token and is used for signing documents, while the public key is available for verification.
Components of a DSC:
What's Inside a DSC:
Owner's Name:
Name of the individual or organization holding the DSC.
Public Key:
Cryptographic key used for verification of signatures.
Validity Period:
Start date and expiry date of the certificate (1-3 years).
Serial Number:
Unique identifier assigned by the Certifying Authority.
CA Information:
Details of the issuing Certifying Authority.
Did You Know?
India has over 2 crore active DSCs in circulation! The DGFT portal processes more than 10 lakh transactions annually, all secured through Digital Signature Certificates. DSC usage has grown by 300% in the last 5 years.

FAQs on DGFT Digital Signature Certificate
Understanding DGFT DSC is essential for exporters and importers. We've compiled answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Whether you're applying for IEC or need to access DGFT portal, these FAQs cover everything about Digital Signature Certificates.
DGFT DSC is a Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate specifically configured for accessing the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) portal. It enables secure authentication for IEC registration, license applications, and other export-import related online transactions.
Yes, DSC is mandatory for online IEC registration on the DGFT portal. Without a valid Class 3 DSC, you cannot submit the IEC application or access most DGFT services.
Class 2 DSC has medium security and is used for MCA, Income Tax, and GST filings. Class 3 DSC has higher security with physical identity verification and is required for DGFT, e-tendering, and high-value transactions. DGFT accepts only Class 3.
With Video KYC verification, DGFT DSC can be issued within 24-48 hours. Same-day issuance is available for urgent requirements if documents are submitted and Video KYC is completed by noon.
Video KYC is a remote identity verification process where you complete a short video call with the Certifying Authority. You show your original documents on camera, and your identity is verified. This replaces the need for physical attestation.
A USB token is a secure hardware device that stores your DSC private key. It looks like a pen drive but has encrypted storage. The DSC cannot be copied from the token, ensuring security. You plug it into your computer when signing documents.
Yes, the same DSC token can be used on any computer. You need to install the token driver on each computer, but the DSC itself works on any system with the driver installed.
DGFT DSC is available in 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year validity options. The 2-year validity is most popular and cost-effective. After expiry, a new DSC must be obtained.
Expired DSC cannot be renewed. You must apply for a fresh DSC. However, if you renew before expiry, the process is simpler with less documentation. We recommend renewing at least 15 days before expiry.
Sign only DSC is used only for signing documents. Sign + Encrypt (Combo) DSC can both sign and encrypt/decrypt data. For DGFT portal, Combo DSC is recommended as some features require encryption.
Yes, a company can have multiple DSCs for different authorized persons. Each DSC is issued in an individual's name with organization details. Multiple directors/partners can have separate DSCs.
If you lose the USB token, you must apply for a new DSC. The lost DSC should be revoked immediately to prevent misuse. Report the loss to the Certifying Authority for revocation.
Yes, the same DGFT Class 3 DSC works on ICEGATE portal for customs documentation. You don't need a separate DSC for ICEGATE if you already have a DGFT-compatible DSC.
DGFT DSC costs vary by validity period. A 2-year Class 3 Combo DSC with USB token typically costs ₹2,499-3,500 depending on the Certifying Authority and service provider.
DSC is always issued in an individual's name. For proprietorship, the DSC shows the proprietor's name with the firm name as organization. There's no separate DSC in only firm name.
DSC installation involves: (1) Install the USB token driver software, (2) Plug in the token, (3) Configure the browser (usually Internet Explorer for government portals). We provide free remote installation support.
Common reasons include: Expired DSC, wrong DSC class (not Class 3), browser compatibility issues, Java settings, or driver problems. Internet Explorer often works better for government portals. Contact support for troubleshooting.
With Video KYC, physical verification is not required. The entire process is done online through video call. Previously, physical attestation by a notary was needed, but Video KYC has simplified this.
Yes, DSC from any CCA-licensed Certifying Authority works on DGFT portal. Popular CAs include eMudhra, Sify, NSDL, CDAC, and Capricorn. All issue valid Class 3 DSCs.
If you enter wrong PIN multiple times, the token gets blocked. Most tokens have an admin PIN to unblock. If admin PIN is also blocked, the token must be reset or replaced. Keep your PIN safe.
