Important Note on Register Digital Signature Certificate
Both DSC and Aadhaar OTP options are available for verifying TDS statements or any other form upload.
For Registering DSC, the process has changed. DSC has to be registered ONLY by the Pr. Contact person/Auth signatory in his PAN login (i.e. Digital Signature registration option is available to Individual Users only. The authorized signatory has to log in to his Personal E-Filing account & register DSC and after that, he can sign all the forms/statements for which he is added as Pr. Contact or Auth. Signatory by the Company/TAN/Firm/AOP etc. ). There is no option to direct register the DSC again under TAN or Company/Firm login etc.
Please ensure to update the Embridge DSC utility. If DSC is registered (against PAN login), proceed straight to submit the forms/statements.
