Answer
Vendors and contractors bidding on Indian Railways tenders need a Class 3 combo DSC, with signing and encryption, registered in the firm's name. IREPS uses the DSC for bidder registration, tender submission and e-auction participation, and the encryption certificate encrypts your bid when you submit it. 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.
Signing and encryption on one token

Still have a question? Chat on WhatsApp
Is DSC mandatory for IREPS registration?
Yes. Bidder registration on IREPS is done with a DSC in the firm's name.
Can I use an individual DSC for IREPS?
Not for bidder registration. IREPS asks for a Class 3 certificate in the firm's name, so it is an organisation DSC.
How do I register my DSC on IREPS?
After the certificate is on your token, log in to IREPS, click New Vendors/Contractors, select your DSC from the token and fill the registration form.
Can I use the same DSC for IREPS and other railway portals?
Yes, where the portal accepts it. Register separately on each portal.
What is the IREPS Signer utility?
It is the portal's own signing tool. When you sign a bid, IREPS uses it to read your certificate from the token.
