Hi Anthony, excellent post! Thanks for the detailed info.

it is good to see that the Government is using digital signatures for speeding up things.

Otherwise a lot of time in Government Departments goes in passing file from one person to another...One person opens the big thread of the file, reads it closes it and then ties the big thread again, passes it to another person who again goes through the same procedure ...haa..haalaugh

Anyway, jokes apart,  with digital signaure and online processing a lot of time and effort can be saved.

In fact, we need to complement the Ministry of Corporate Affairs fo first initiating the MCA21 governance project wherein use of digital signatures was planned in a very big fashion (See MCA Digital Signature)

Use of digital signature certificates will only increase in future. This green initiative is to be welcomed!

Once again, thanks for the useful post!
