The Directors of an Indian company, both Indian and foreigners, are required to get Digital Signature Certificate ( DSC), under the new requirements. Digital Signature Certificate is required for all Directors or authorized representatives of any company and professional who will require signing Registrar Of Companies (ROC) forms or documents. A DSC, like hand written signature, establishes the identity of the sender filing the documents through Internet that the sender can’t revoke or deny. A DSC is not only a digital equivalent of a hand written signature it adds extra data electronically to any message or a document where it is used to make it more authentic and more secured.
