Digital signatures play a crucial role in verifying the authenticity of any document shared online. If a document contains the digital signature of the authorized signatory, the receiver knows that the document is genuine.

But how do you verify the signatory? This is where a digital signature certificate (DSC) becomes necessary. In India, it holds high importance as you can use it for online auctions, e-filing income tax returns (ITR), signing documents like PDFs, and more.

It is admissible in a court of law as evidence and accepted by government agencies. In fact, it is compulsory for those who need to get their accounts audited for ITR filing and many others. Also, DSC does away with the need to send hard copies.
