DSC for e-tendering

Class 3 signing DSC for Rajasthan eProc. Combo DSC for other states' portals and India-wide portals like GeM. Price, process and requirements.

Class 3 signing costs ₹1,040 for 1 year, ₹1,200 for 2 years or ₹1,820 for 3 years. Class 3 combo costs ₹2,090 for 1 year, ₹2,410 for 2 years or ₹3,630 for 3 years. The USB e-token is ₹550 more if you do not have one.

Answer

A Class 3 signing DSC is enough for Rajasthan eProc; an encryption certificate is not needed there. For e-tendering in other states or on India-wide portals we recommend the combo (signing plus encryption). Both certificates reside on the same token and must be registered separately on each 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.

Which type of DSC is needed for tendering?
For Rajasthan eProc, a Class 3 signing DSC is enough. For other states or India-wide portals we recommend a Class 3 combo with both signing and encryption.
Will a signing-only DSC work for bids?
For Rajasthan eProc, yes. For most other portals, encryption is required.
Can one combo DSC work on GeM and other portals?
Yes, where accepted. Register separately on each portal.
How does verification work?
You confirm your mobile and email with OTPs, then do the Aadhaar OTP and video KYC with the Certifying Authority, and a final eKYC OTP on your phone approves the application, with our help at every step.
What is the validity period?
1 to 3 years. Get a reissued DSC before expiry.
Is a new token needed on reissue?
Yes, if the old token was bought before 21 September 2026. Since that date a reissue goes only onto a FIPS 140-3 token. A certificate already on your old token keeps working until it expires.
