DSC and its need?
The documents required for formation of a company are required to be filed on-line and DSC is a verification tool (equivalent to hand written signature) used for filing such documents with the ROC. DSC can be obtained for any one or more directors of the proposed company under whose name the documents are usually filed. DSC is of various classes and a Class II DSC is applicable for incorporation and for the process thereafter.
How to Obtain DSC?
Government has authorized various certification agencies for issuing DSC. In order to obtain DSC, the prescribed application form of the chosen agency has to be filled in and submitted along with the identity proof and address proof. The certification agency office verifies all the documents and upon satisfaction issues DSC in a USB token (and also through email). It is a password protected file.
