Buying Guide
Government tender portals, GeM, CPPP eProcure, IREPS, state e-tender sites, all share the same certificate requirement.
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.
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.
Tender deadlines don't wait, we prioritise urgent Combo DSC applications.
Yes, a Class 3 Combo DSC works across every portal that accepts standard Class 3 certificates from licensed CAs, including GeM, CPPP eProcure, IREPS and state tender portals.
You'll need to upgrade to a Combo certificate, a Signing-only DSC cannot decrypt or submit encrypted tender bids.
Most applications are verified the same day, tell us your deadline and we'll prioritise, with urgent courier options for token delivery if needed.
