Quick Summary
A user is encountering an error when filing GSTR9C for the 2017-18 period, stating 'signature of auditor is not valid, please resign.' This occurs after uploading the JSON file signed by the auditor's DSC to the GST portal. Other users have reported similar persistent issues with auditor DSC validation, even after updates to the offline tool, suggesting potential problems with the emsigner or browser integration.

Check DSC of auditor is valid or not
Check the expiry of DSC
It is good that u were able to sign and upload the Json signed file....but for many including my office still not able to attach CA's DSC.....emsigner is not opening in the IE prompt window...the latest version 1.6 was released stating the auditor DSC error is resolved but still it continues....
