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.

How it works

From document to signed, in the same flow.

Step 01

Document prepared with signature blocks

Signature blocks placed on the document indicate signer, role and order. Multi-party signing is sequential, parallel or mixed.

Step 02

Signer authentication

Aadhaar e-Sign uses Aadhaar OTP authentication via UIDAI. DSC uses the signer's registered USB token from eMudhra, Sify or NSDL e-Gov.

Step 03

Signature applied with cert metadata

The signature applies to the document with the signer's identity, certificate details, timestamp and signing IP captured. The document is sealed against post-signature edits.

Step 04

Audit trail captured

Every step (preparation, send, view, sign, complete) is logged with timestamps and signatures. The trail is hash-chained for Rule 11(g) and audit-evidence purposes.

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.
