To improve compliance and reduce disruptions in digital services, government portals have begun issuing automated renewal alerts for Digital Signature Certificates (DSCs) approaching expiry. This user-friendly feature is aimed at helping professionals, businesses, and government officials avoid missed deadlines and last-minute errors caused by expired digital credentials. The move comes in response to repeated delays in filings and submissions due to inactive DSCs, especially during high-volume compliance periods.

The new system sends timely email and SMS notifications to registered users, reminding them to renew their DSCs well in advance. These alerts are generated based on the DSC’s expiry date and are being implemented across key platforms used for tax filings, company registrations, tender submissions, and legal documentation. Officials noted that this proactive approach will ensure greater continuity in workflow, reduce technical rejections, and enhance the overall efficiency of e-governance operations.

Stakeholders have welcomed the rollout, stating that the alert mechanism is a simple yet impactful way to support digital compliance culture. By minimizing the risk of operational lapses, the alerts will help users maintain uninterrupted access to critical government services and ensure that all digitally signed transactions remain valid, timely, and legally recognized. The government is also encouraging users to keep their contact details updated on official portals to receive renewal alerts without fail.
