Export and import businesses can use digital signatures to 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.
A Digital Signature Certificate is recognized by the legal system under the Indian Information Technology Act 2000 thus, all documents submitted using Digital Signature Certificate hold the same value as physically signed documents. DGFT validates the identity of the sender and DSC, authenticates documents then processes the documents for license issuance.
