In today’s digital world, the signatures of individuals and organizations are carried out electronically using a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC). A DSC is issued by the Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA) of India and serves as a secure and legally valid form of authentication.
As per the CCA notification dated 26th June 2020, the issuance of Class 1 and Class 2 digital signatures was discontinued from 1st January 2021. Currently, only Class 3 DSCs are being issued, which are valid for both personal and commercial use.
Earlier, there were three types of Digital Signature Certificates (DSCs) you could get, but now only Class 3 DSC is available. Here’s a simple explanation of each and what Class 3 is used for today:
Changes effective from January 1, 2021:

No, you won't lose any benefits after the discontinuation of Class 1 and Class 2 Digital Signature Certificates. Class 3 Digital Signature will serve all the same purposes, such as for Income Tax, GST, E-Ticketing, ROC, Tenders, etc. However, there is a catch to all of these modifications. Class 3 Digital Signature Certificates will cost you more than Class 1 and Class 2 GST.
