As a part of this endeavour, we are pleased to present the option of Digital Signature Certificate for additional security of online banking transactions.

Digital Signature Certificates (DSCs) are the digital equivalent (i.e electronic format) of physical or paper certificates. Examples of physical certificates are Driving License, Passport or Membership Cards.

Certificates serve as proof of identity of an individual for a certain purpose; for example, a Driving License identifies someone who can legally drive in a particular country. Likewise, a Digital Signature Certificate can be presented electronically to prove your identity, to access information or services on the Internet or to sign certain documents digitally.

DSC provides an additional level of safety and security for online banking transactions by digitally verifying the financial transactions and encrypting the information such that only intended parties can read it.

A licensed Certifying Authority (CA) issues the Digital Signature Certificate. The CA is someone who has been granted a License to issue a DSC under Section 24 of the Indian IT-Act 2000.

The list of licensed CAs along with their contact information is available on the Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA) portal (www.cca.gov.in).

After procurement of the DSC, the Certificate can be downloaded in to the hard token or can be installed to the PC/Laptop. Please ensure that the token drivers are installed on your system as guided by your Certified Authority.
