Ahmedabad and the wider Gujarat region are home to a large exporter and importer base — from Kandla and Mundra port shippers to textile, pharma and chemical exporters. Every filing on the DGFT portal — IEC issuance, IEC modification, licence applications, MEIS/RoDTEP claims — requires a Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate registered against your IEC.
The DGFT portal checks specific Extended Key Usage attributes on the certificate. If a DSC was issued without DGFT declared as a usage purpose, registration on DGFT often fails. When we issue a DSC for Ahmedabad exporters, DGFT is declared upfront so this doesn't happen.
In addition to standard KYC for the authorised signatory, DGFT DSCs require organisation documents and the IEC.
Once issued, the DSC must be registered under 'Register DSC' on the DGFT portal — using the exact same signatory PAN as the certificate holder. We walk Ahmedabad clients through this remotely on a screen-share session.
