DSC for NCLT e-filing
Class 3 DSC for NCLT e-filing. For advocates, company secretaries and parties filing petitions at the National Company Law Tribunal. Price and steps.
Class 3 signing costs ₹1,040 for 1 year, ₹1,200 for 2 years or ₹1,820 for 3 years. The USB e-token is ₹550 more if you do not have one.
Answer
The National Company Law Tribunal hears company law matters, insolvency petitions under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, and winding-up petitions. Its e-filing portal requires every document to be a PDF/A file digitally signed with a Class 3 DSC. We fill and submit the application for you; you do the Aadhaar OTP and video KYC with the Certifying Authority, which issues the certificate on a USB token. Application support is included in the price.
