In a major step toward streamlining digital compliance, NSDL has introduced a new platform for instant issuance of Digital Signature Certificates (DSCs), aimed at simplifying and accelerating the process for individuals and businesses. The platform enables users to complete the entire application, verification, and issuance process online, using eKYC authentication and real-time processing, without the need for physical documentation or in-person visits.

This development comes in response to the growing demand for quick and secure access to digital credentials for activities like income tax filing, company incorporation, GST submissions, and e-tendering. With the new system, eligible applicants can receive a valid DSC within minutes of successful identity verification, making the process both efficient and user-friendly. The platform also includes built-in features for token management, compliance tracking, and renewal alerts.

Industry experts believe the launch of this instant DSC platform marks a significant milestone in India’s journey toward paperless governance and digital transformation. It is expected to benefit startups, professionals, and enterprises that require quick access to legally valid digital signatures for their operations. The move also supports the broader goal of building a more secure, inclusive, and transparent digital ecosystem in the country.
