Digital signature certificate for efiling

For an Audit case, I had applied for Digital Signature Cert (DSC) in August 2011 with a 1 year validity.

Now, for A.Y 2012-13, I again tried to use the same D.S.C. . So I had installed Java Runtime Environment (JRE 32 bit) on my system successfully. After I logged into the I.T. filing website, I clicked on "Update Digital Certificate" under "My Account", but after I clicked on this, the upload button i.e. "Upload .pfx file" DID NOT appear. Instead I got "Error"

The error pertains to Java Plug-in 10.5.1.255. Despite successfully installing JRE, am NOT ABLE to register D.S.C. i.e.

.pfx file.

Kindly assist

1. You are not required to register the same DSC once again.

2. Check if you have got multiple versions of Java installed, if yes, remove one of them and try. If not, try uninstalling the Java version and reinstalling it.

How to register the DSC of foreign company?

Answer: Kindly check the jurisdiction of PAN by using the 'Know your Jurisdiction' functionality from 'Services' menu on the home page of ITD e-filing website. If the jurisdiction’s area code is other than ‘DLC’ (DLC area code is used for International Taxation Jurisdiction) then the assessee should contact his/her Assessing officer and request for change of jurisdiction from Domestic Jurisdiction to International Taxation Jurisdiction. After transfer of the jurisdiction, DSC can be registered.
