There are basically 3 types of Digital Signature Certificates  Class-1, Class-2  & Class-3 each having different level of security.

All the authorized signatories of company under MCA21 require Class-2 Digital Signature Certificate.

Similarly any document filed by CA/CS/CWA & TAX PRACTIONERS under MCA21 require  Class-2 Digital Signature Certificate.

Class 1 signatures are used for identification of username/email ID [stating that, a particular username/email ID belongs to a particular person]. However,it is not allowed to sign any Statutory / Business Documents.

Class 2 signatures are issued to the Individuals for either Personal [A] or Business Purposes [B].

Class 3 signatures are issued to the Businesses on either Individual [A] or Organization Level [B].

Note that, to avail Class 3 signatures, applicant should appear infront of Certifying Authority [or a authorised person by Certifying Authority] and submit the documents. But Class 2 signatures can be availed from Dealers / Resellers of Certifying Authority, by submitting the documents.

Nice discussion!

In practice Class 1 signture is not used for authentication purpose.

Class 2 is normally used for Income Tax Return Filing, ROC Filing, and for few e-tenders

Class 3 signatures are normally used for e-tenders, e-procurements

DGFT signtures are used for Foreign Trade Transactions.

One has to first see the use of Digital Signature and compatability of the signature before applying
