Yes, for Legally Valid E-Signatures

• Digital Signature Certificates (DSCs) are permitted for use in online property registration processes.
  
• They provide a legally recognized way to sign electronic property documents.
  
• The use of DSC ensures authenticity, identity verification, and non-repudiation.
  
• Many states support e-registration systems where DSCs are accepted.
  
• This streamlines documentation without the need for physical presence.
  

Used by Buyers, Sellers, and Authorities

• DSCs can be used by property buyers and sellers to sign sale deeds, agreements, and affidavits.
  
• Authorized signatories from real estate firms and institutions also use DSCs in transactions.
  
• Sub-registrar offices and legal platforms verify DSC-based signatures as valid.
  
• The DSC ensures that all parties are digitally authenticated.
  
• Government officers may also sign approvals and verifications using DSC.
  

Enables Secure Upload and Execution

• Property documents are uploaded to the online registration system and digitally signed.
  
• DSC usage locks the content, ensuring the file cannot be modified later.
  
• The system validates the digital signature against government-issued certificates.
  
• This process replaces the need for wet signatures on paper.
  
• It enhances the speed and efficiency of property transactions.
  

Reduces Dependency on Physical Documentation

• All signed files are preserved in digital form with high security.
  
• This digital workflow is more transparent and cost-effective.
  

Accepted Under the Indian Legal Framework

• The signatures are considered equivalent to handwritten signatures in law.
  
• State governments and registration departments implement rules to accommodate DSC-based signing.
