Dear Valued Customers,
Impact of Price Increase
Due to recent changes in the DSC issuance process in compliance with CCA (Govt. of India) IVG Guidelines, there has been a significant increase in the prices of Digital Signature Certificates (DSCs) from eMudhra, XtraTrust, and PantaSign. We have tried to keep pricing as low as possible to minimize the impact on our customers.
Reason for the Increase
As per the new CCA Guidelines, the role of Registration Authorities (RAs) has changed to “Business Partners.” This shift has transformed the DSC business from a B2B model to a B2C model. Consequently, the Certifying Authorities (CAs) will now directly issue invoices to customers, as mandated by the IVG Guidelines of the CCA, Government of India. This change aims to equalize the pricing of DSCs across the country.
New Invoicing Process
From now on, we will issue invoices only for USB Tokens. According to the new guidelines, invoices for DSCs will be issued directly to customers by the Certifying Authorities (CAs) such as eMudhra, XtraTrust, and PantaSign. This change aims to streamline the process and ensure compliance with the new regulatory standards.
