Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Class 2 and Class 3 DSC?
Class 3 DSC has replaced Class 2 for most purposes. Class 3 DSC is mandatory for MCA filings, e-tendering, GST, and customs. Class 2 is now used only for legacy income tax portal filings. We recommend getting Class 3 for all new applications.
How long is a DSC valid?
DSCs are typically valid for 1 year or 2 years from the date of issue. After expiry, renewal is required. We handle both new DSC issuance and renewal at Dealintax.
Do I need a USB token for DSC?
Class 3 DSC is issued on a secure USB token (crypto token) to prevent private key compromise. The token is couriered to your address. Some newer DSCs support cloud-based signing.
Can the same person hold multiple DSCs?
Yes. A person can hold multiple DSCs for different purposes or organizations. Each DSC is unique to the PAN and purpose for which it is issued.
