A Class 3 Individual Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is a type of digital certificate used for secure online transactions and communication. It is issued by a certifying authority (CA) after verifying the identity and other details of the individual applicant.
Class 3 DSC offers the highest level of security among all the classes of DSC. It is used for online transactions involving highly sensitive information such as income tax filings, GST Return Filings, MCA Company Return Filings, e-tendering, and online bidding.
To obtain a Class 3 Individual DSC, the applicant needs to submit their identity and address proof documents along with a completed application form to a certifying authority. The certifying authority then verifies the applicant’s details and issues the digital signature certificate.
