Which class of DSC do I need?

Class 3 is currently the only class issued for most official use — it is mandatory for MCA e-filings, income tax and GST portals, e-tendering, and most other government platforms.

How long is a Digital Signature Certificate valid?

A DSC is typically issued for 1, 2, or 3 years, after which it must be renewed to continue signing documents electronically.

Is a DSC signature legally equivalent to a handwritten signature?

Yes — under the Information Technology Act, 2000, a document signed with a valid DSC carries the same legal recognition and admissibility as a handwritten signature.

Do I need to use Meghalaya-specific paper or forms for my documents?

Documents meant for use in Meghalaya must carry stamp duty payable under the state's rules, and are usually drafted in English or the local official language (English (official), Khasi and Garo). StampMitra prepares the draft for Meghalaya and confirms the stamp value at checkout.

Can I apply from Tura or another city without visiting an office?

Yes. The application, document upload and verification are handled online, so applicants in Shillong, Tura, Jowai or elsewhere in Meghalaya can start without visiting an office. A physical visit is needed only where the law or the local sub-registrar requires it.

Is the GST state code for Meghalaya 17?

Yes. Meghalaya uses GST state code 17, the first two digits of the GSTIN. This also determines whether a supply is treated as intra-state or inter-state for tax purposes.
