Who Can Buy DGFT DSC?

Any organization possessing a valid Import Export Code (IEC) issued by DGFT can purchase DGFT Digital Signature Certificate. DGFT DSC can be issued to various business entities including proprietorships, partnerships, private limited companies, LLPs (Limited Liability Partnerships), and public limited companies engaged in import-export activities.

DGFT DSC can be obtained by any authorized person representing their organization by submitting mandatory documents and completing identity verification procedures. The organization must possess an active IEC Code provided by the DGFT Department along with the official IEC Certificate. If you’re searching for digital signature for IEC renewal or DGFT license applications, the DGFT DSC is your required certificate type.

Important: DGFT DSC is an organization-level certificate and cannot be issued to individuals. The authorized signatory must hold proper authorization from the organization to apply for and use this certificate.

Why Does DGFT Department Require Digital Signature?

Export and Import organizations (EXIM organizations) can submit license applications online and file accompanying documents electronically on the official DGFT website (dgft.gov.in). Since digital signature certificates ensure authenticity, integrity, and non-repudiation of electronic documents, DGFT has mandated the use of IEC-based Digital Signature Certificates for all electronic documents uploaded to dgft.gov.in.

This mandate means every EXIM organization must necessarily possess a valid DGFT Digital Signature for all transactions and compliance activities related to the DGFT portal. Upon validating the sender’s identity, document authenticity, and DSC validity, DGFT processes the submitted documents for license issuance, IEC updates, and regulatory approvals.

The digital signature requirement eliminates paperwork, accelerates processing times, prevents document tampering, establishes clear accountability, and enables secure 24/7 online submission of foreign trade applications from anywhere in India or abroad.

*About Without USB Token Option

Important Notice Effective July 1, 2023: Digital Signature Certificates can no longer be downloaded to old-generation USB tokens manufactured before this date. This is a mandatory directive from the Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA) for enhanced security.

If you select the ‘Without USB Token’ option, you must possess a valid, CCA-approved USB token compatible with current security standards. Without a valid, approved token, DSC cannot be downloaded or installed. Old tokens (ePass 2003, SafeNet, Gemalto models manufactured before July 2023) are no longer compatible.

Recommended: We strongly recommend purchasing the ‘With Token’ option to receive the latest CCA-approved USB token that guarantees compatibility and smooth DSC installation. Our tokens are tested, certified, and come with manufacturer warranty.

Billing Information

Invoice Structure: The first invoice for the DSC certificate will be sent directly to the user’s registered email address from the Certifying Authority. Visra Enterprises will provide a second invoice covering USB token charges and our professional services fee.

GST Input Credit Eligibility: For individual user DSC, GST input credit cannot be claimed as per GST regulations. Only GST-registered organizational DSC users (companies, LLPs, partnerships) can claim GST input credit on their DGFT DSC purchase. Ensure your GST registration is active to avail input credit benefits.
