Answer

Non-proprietorship firms need a DGFT DSC for IEC-related work on the DGFT portal. The DSC details must match the IEC and the authorised signatory. The DSC is registered in My Dashboard on the DGFT portal. We help you get a paperless DSC through Aadhaar eKYC and video verification; the certificate is issued by a licensed Certifying Authority. 1 to 2 hours in Udaipur once the certificate is issued; same or next day in nearby towns; within 72 hours by Speed Post across India. We supply DSCs from VSign, Capricorn, eMudhra, Sify, nCODE and PantaSign.
