The most popular use of digital signature in India is regarding the signing of the PDF file for Tax Returns. DSC gives the assurance of not only the integrity of the signer but also the data and it serves the goals of information security: integrity, authentication, and non-repudiation.

Following the enactment of the IT Act, 2000, Digital Signature came into the highlight in the Indian business scenario. As per the current status, every day more than 5,300 DSCs are being registered under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) of the Indian Govt.
