The validity of a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) depends on the type of certificate selected. In most cases, a DSC is issued with a validity of 1, 2, or 3 years. Once the validity period expires, it must be renewed to continue using it for e-filing, e-tendering, MCA, GST, Income Tax, and other online transactions.

A Signing DSC is used to digitally sign electronic documents, authenticate the identity of the signer, and ensure that the document has not been altered.
