Signing-only is cheapest; Sign + Encrypt (Combo) costs more.
1, 2 or 3 years — longer validity lowers the per-year cost.
A FIPS-certified crypto token is mandatory to store the DSC.
Organisation certificates cost more than individual ones.
A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is a secure digital key — stored on a FIPS-certified USB crypto token — issued by a licensed Certifying Authority. It carries your identity in encrypted form and lets you sign documents online with the same legal standing as a handwritten signature under the Information Technology Act, 2000.
Each certificate records the holder's name, the issue and expiry dates, and the issuing authority — here, Capricorn CA, licensed by the Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA), Government of India. Class 3 is now the standard certificate for almost all government and business filings in India.
The current standard for individuals, organisations and government bodies — for document signing, GST, ITR, ROC, e-Tendering and import/export, effective from 1 January 2021.
A Directorate General of Foreign Trade certificate used by organisations for foreign-trade activity on the DGFT portal. Signing-only, 1 or 2 year validity.
