Is eMudhra a Government-licensed Certifying Authority?

Yes - eMudhra Consumer Services Ltd. is licensed by CCA under Licence No. 02 / 2003 dated 23 January 2003 (originally SafeScrypt CA Services, assigned to eMudhra). It is one of the largest CCA-licensed CAs in India, alongside (n)Code Solutions, Sify Safescrypt, Capricorn, Verasys, PantaSign and XtraTrust (eMudhra's sibling CA).

How is eMudhra DSC different from other CAs' DSCs?

Functionally identical - all CCA-licensed CAs issue Class-3 DSCs under the same IT Act / IT (CA) Rules 2000 framework. eMudhra differentiates on TAT (industry-leading - 30-minute to 24-hour issuance for Aadhaar e-KYC route), enterprise add-ons (emSigner, emAS), and a large LRA (Local Registration Authority) network across India.

What is the validity of eMudhra DSC?

1 / 2 / 3 years per CCA guidelines. Renewal before expiry with fresh e-KYC. After expiry, fresh application is required - eMudhra's renewal flow is automated through SMS / email reminders 30 days before expiry.

Can I use eMudhra DSC for e-tendering on CPPP / GeM?

Yes - eMudhra Class-3 DSC (Signing + Encryption Combo) is fully accepted on CPPP, GeM, IOC, ONGC, IRCTC, and state e-tender portals. The Combo DSC is mandatory for portals requiring encrypted bid submission.

Does eMudhra issue DGFT DSC?

Yes - eMudhra issues the DGFT variant (Class-3 DSC with DGFT-specific OID). eMudhra is one of the most popular CAs for DGFT DSC due to its pan-India LRA network and fast TAT.

What is eMudhra emBridge?

emBridge is eMudhra's signing plug-in / middleware that integrates the USB token with browser-based signing on MCA21, GST, Income-tax, DGFT and e-tender portals. It must be installed on the applicant's machine (Windows / Mac / Linux versions available).

Can I switch from eMudhra to another CA at renewal?

Yes - DSCs are interoperable across CCA-licensed CAs. At renewal you can switch to (n)Code, Sify, Capricorn or any other CA without affecting your MCA / GST / Income-tax / DGFT portal mapping (the new DSC must be re-mapped to your account on each portal).

Does eMudhra issue Document Signer Certificates for bulk signing?

Yes - eMudhra's Document Signer Certificate (DSC for bulk PDF signing) is issued to organisations only, with CCA's prior approval for each instance. It is used for bulk signing of HR offer letters, policy documents, bank statements, invoices. Pricing varies by signing volume and validity (typically ₹15,000-₹50,000).
