Class 3 DSC for e-tendering
You cannot submit a bid on an e-procurement portal without a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC). We arrange the Class 3 DSC portals need, issued by a Certifying Authority licensed in India, and help you through verification and setting it up on your computer and on the portals.
- Fee agreed first. We tell you what we will do and what it costs before any work starts.
- You approve every bid. Nothing is submitted until you have seen the final bid and said yes.
- Your name, your DSC. Bids go in your company’s name, on the official portal, signed with your own DSC.
What we do
The right certificate
Individual or for an organisation, signing only or signing with encryption, and the validity period: we tell you which your portals need.
Application and verification
The online application, documents and the video and OTP verification the Certifying Authority asks for.
USB token
The certificate on a FIPS-certified USB token, which is how the rules require a DSC to be held.
Set up on your computer
The token driver and the signing software the portal asks for, tested with a signature.
Enrolled on your portals
The DSC registered on the e-procurement portals you bid on, so it is ready before your first deadline.
Renewal on time
A reminder before it expires, so a bid is never held up by an expired certificate.
Who it is for
- Businesses preparing to bid on e-procurement portals for the first time
- Bidders whose DSC has expired or is about to
- Companies adding a new authorised signatory
- Anyone whose DSC will not work on a portal

Questions about Digital Signature (DSC)
Which DSC do I need for e-tendering?
A Class 3 DSC. Many e-procurement portals also need it to encrypt bid documents, so a certificate with both signing and encryption is the usual choice for bidders. We confirm what your portals ask for.
How long does it take to get a DSC?
Once your documents and video verification are complete it is usually issued quickly; the token then has to reach you or be collected. Do not leave it until the week of a deadline.
My DSC does not work on the portal. Can you help?
Yes. The usual causes are a missing token driver or signing utility, browser settings, a certificate that has expired, or a DSC not yet enrolled on that portal. We check each with you.
Can someone else use my DSC?
A DSC identifies the person it was issued to, and whatever is signed with it is legally that person’s signature. Keep the token and its PIN safe, and give a signatory their own DSC.
