Quick Summary
While Aadhaar eSign is a legally valid electronic signature under the IT Act, it's generally not accepted for direct filing of MCA forms, which typically require a Class 3 DSC. However, Aadhaar eSign can be used for signing attachments like board reports and financial statements, which are then attached to a DSC-signed form. For audit reports, DSC or scanned physical signatures are the norm.

Dsc is more accepted norms

Aadhaar e-sign for MCA documents:

• Aadhaar-based e-sign (via licensed e-sign service providers) is a valid electronic signature under the IT Act, 2000 (Second Schedule). It can be used to sign documents like board reports and audit reports in electronic form, where the law permits electronic signatures.

• For filing MCA forms, a DSC (Class 3) is required for directors and professionals. Aadhaar e-sign isn't accepted for form filing on the MCA portal.

• For attachments (board report, financial statements), you can sign with e-sign, then attach the PDF, and the form is DSC-signed.

• ICAI's UDIN-based audit reports are signed with DSC (or physical signatures scanned).
