Export and import businesses can use digital signatures to apply for licences and authenticate documents through the DGFT (Directorate General of Foreign Trade) portal. DGFT has made it compulsory for export and import businesses to use digital signatures with all the digital documents uploaded on its website.
DGFT will process the documents for issuing the licence on verifying the identity of the user as well as the authenticity and validity of the DSC. Therefore, every export and import organization must have a digital signature from a trusted Certifying Authority for performing transactions through the DGFT website. For any business organization looking for an export and import licence, it is mandatory to have a Class 3 digital signature certificate registered in the name of one of the authorized representatives of the company.
Digital signature for DGFT helps reduce not only time but also costs associated with licence approval and other processes. It also allows export and import organizations to prevent cyber-attacks and other malicious activities such as identity theft, unauthorized access, etc.
