Common Questions About DGFT DSC
Who needs a DGFT DSC?
Any business or individual holding an Import Export Code (IEC) and accessing the DGFT portal for license filings, amendments, scheme claims, or IEC renewal must have a DGFT DSC.
What is the difference between DGFT DSC and regular Class 3 DSC?
A DGFT DSC is a Class 3 certificate specifically designated for the DGFT (Directorate General of Foreign Trade) portal workflows. While standard Class 3 DSCs work on other portals, the DGFT portal is configured to accept certificates linked to the IEC holder's identity.
How long is a DGFT DSC valid?
DGFT DSCs are available in 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year validity periods. We recommend 2 years for the best value.
Can I use my DGFT DSC on other portals?
Yes. A DGFT Class 3 DSC can also be used on the GST portal, MCA-21, and eProcurement portals, as it is a Class 3 level certificate.
How quickly is it issued?
After document verification and a quick video KYC session, your DGFT DSC is issued within 30–60 minutes on the same business day.
