Who needs a Government DSC

Government employees, department heads and PSU authorized signatories who file on CPPP eProcure, GeM, or other central and state government portals in their official capacity typically need a Government-category Class 3 DSC, distinct from a standard Individual or Organization certificate.

What documentation is typically required

Alongside standard identity documents (PAN, Aadhaar), Government DSC applications generally require an official authorization letter or ID confirming your position and department, since the certificate represents your official capacity, not just your personal identity.

Signing vs Combo for government use

Whether you need Signing-only or Combo depends on which portals you're filing on, general departmental filings often only need Signing, while procurement-related activity on CPPP eProcure or GeM typically requires Combo.
