Document Management | E-Signature
Aadhaar e-Sign and DSC, both inside the platform. Legally equivalent to paper.
Aadhaar e-Sign for contracts, NDAs and internal approvals. Class 2 and Class 3 DSC for ROC filings, GST returns and bank-grade documents. Both recognised under Sections 4 and 5 of the IT Act 2000. Signing happens inside the workflow, not in a separate tool.

Compliance + integrations
Signatures the courts and the regulator both recognise.
Aadhaar e-Sign and DSC are both Section 5 (digital signature) under the IT Act 2000, legally equivalent to a physical signature. Aadhaar e-Sign covers most contract and approval workflows; DSC is required for statutory filings (MCA21, GSTN, Income Tax) and for bank-grade documents.

E-Signature FAQ
What buyers ask.
When do we need DSC vs Aadhaar e-Sign?
Aadhaar e-Sign covers most internal approvals, contracts, NDAs and AP/AR approval workflows. DSC is required for statutory filings (MCA21, GST return, TDS return), board resolutions filed with MCA21, and many bank-grade documents. The platform picks the right method per workflow automatically.
Are signed documents admissible in court?
Yes. Both Aadhaar e-Sign and DSC are recognised under the IT Act 2000 Sections 4 and 5 and the Indian Evidence Act Section 65B. Indian courts have repeatedly upheld the validity of these signatures. The platform retains the signature certificate and the audit trail to support court admissibility.
A foreign counterparty wants to sign. Can they?
Foreign signers without Aadhaar use DSC issued by an Indian Certifying Authority, or sign through their own certified e-signature provider (DocuSign, Adobe Sign) with the signature captured back. The cross-border signing pattern is supported.
