Overview
What is DGFT DSC?
A DGFT DSC is an organisation Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate used to digitally sign and authenticate filings on the DGFT portal — modifying your IEC, applying for Advance Authorisation or EPCG, RCMC actions and other foreign-trade licences. It's mapped to your organisation and IEC so DGFT recognises the signatory.
Like any DSC, it's issued by a licensed Certifying Authority after KYC, on a secure USB token, and valid for one to three years. The key difference is that it's an organisation certificate, tied to your business and IEC for DGFT use.
We issue a DGFT-compatible organisation DSC through a licensed Certifying Authority, complete the KYC, and map it to your IEC on the DGFT portal.

Official filing
How the Licensed Certifying Authority + DGFT portal flow works
The organisation Class 3 DSC is issued by a licensed Certifying Authority after KYC and is then registered/mapped against your IEC on the DGFT portal so it can sign DGFT filings.
We facilitate issuance through a licensed Certifying Authority and map it on the official DGFT portal. We never claim to be the issuing authority or a private API — the certificate is issued by the licensed CA.
