Reach out with your requirement

~5 minutes

WhatsApp or call, tell us whether it's Individual, Organization, Government or Foreign DSC, and which portal you're using it for, MCA, GST, ICEGATE or otherwise. This determines whether you need Signing or Combo.

2

We confirm your CA and pricing

~5 minutes

We show you live pricing across eMudhra, Capricorn CA, vSign and SpeedSign, so you pick based on actual rates, not a single quote.

3

Share Aadhaar and PAN details

~2 minutes

Digitally, no physical copies. We check that names and details match between the two before proceeding, this avoids the most common cause of delay.

4

Complete Aadhaar video eKYC

~5 minutes

A short, recorded video call, you enter your Aadhaar number, receive an OTP on your linked mobile, and your identity is verified against the UIDAI database. No paperwork, no office visit.

5

The CA issues your certificate

Same day

Once eKYC clears, the licensed Certifying Authority generates your Class 3 DSC. This is usually the fastest step, often completed within hours of verification.

6

Certificate is loaded onto your token

Same day

Your certificate is written onto a genuine, FIPS-compliant USB crypto token, pre-configured with drivers so it works as soon as you plug it in. Document Signer certificates can instead be made available as a .pfx download.

7

Token dispatched to your address

1-3 days delivery

Shipped PAN India, no need to visit an office. If you run into any setup issues once it arrives, remote support is available, well beyond our regular office hours.

Starting from ₹650 (certificate cost, excl. token & support)

Why this process works

We check details before eKYC, not after

Catching Aadhaar/PAN mismatches early avoids wasted verification attempts.

Token setup happens before dispatch

Not after you've already received a bare, unconfigured device.

Pay only after approval

You're not paying upfront on a process that hasn't been verified yet.

Support continues after step 7

Remote help for driver and portal issues, whenever they come up.

Frequently asked questions

Steps 1 through 6, enquiry through certificate issuance and token loading, can all happen the same day. Physical token delivery (step 7) then takes 1-3 days depending on your location.

Usually a connectivity issue, we simply reschedule. If it's an Aadhaar/PAN mismatch, that needs correcting with UIDAI or the Income Tax department first.

For Document Signer certificates, yes. Signing and Combo DSCs for portal filing are issued on a USB token as standard, since most portals require hardware-based storage.
