The answer: Combo DSC, every time

Every major Indian e-tendering and e-procurement portal encrypts bid documents until the tender opening date, so they all require a Class 3 Combo DSC (Signing + Encryption). This applies whether you're bidding on GeM, CPPP eProcure, IREPS (railways), or a state-level portal like MahaTenders.

Individual or Organization?

This depends on how you're registered as a bidder. Sole proprietors typically use an Individual Combo DSC; registered companies and LLPs use an Organization Combo DSC in their authorized signatory's name.
