About Central Public Procurement Portal & its DSC requirement
Central Public Procurement Portal runs on the government’s electronic procurement framework, where departments, local bodies and public-sector units publish tenders and receive bids entirely online. To take part, vendors submit bids, upload documents and sign them digitally — which is why Central Public Procurement Portal accepts only a Class 3 Combo Digital Signature Certificate that provides both signing and encryption.
The encryption component matters here: on e-procurement portals your commercial bid is sealed and cannot be opened until the technical evaluation stage and the official bid-opening time. A signing-only certificate will be rejected at login or upload on Central Public Procurement Portal, so bidders must use the Combo variant tied to the authorised signatory of the bidding entity.
Documents required for Central Public Procurement Portal
- PAN card of the authorised signatory
- Aadhaar of the authorised signatory (for paperless video/OTP KYC)
- Organisation PAN, plus GST certificate or incorporation/registration proof
- Board resolution or authorisation letter naming the signatory
For organisation certificates the signatory’s identity and the organisation’s existence are both verified — our team confirms the exact list for your entity type.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which DSC is required for Central Public Procurement Portal?
Central Public Procurement Portal requires a Class 3 Combo (Signature + Encryption) Digital Signature Certificate. The encryption component is mandatory because commercial bids are sealed until the official bid-opening stage. A signing-only certificate will not work for bidding.
How long does it take to get a DSC for Central Public Procurement Portal?
Most certificates are issued within about 2 hours of completing KYC. Orders placed before 2:00 PM on a working day are usually activated the same day, and the USB token (if included) is dispatched free across India.
What documents are needed for an organisation DSC for Central Public Procurement Portal?
For an organisation certificate you provide the authorised signatory's PAN and Aadhaar, the organisation's PAN plus GST or incorporation proof, and an authorisation letter or board resolution naming the signatory. KYC is paperless.
Do I need a new USB token for Central Public Procurement Portal?
If you already have a compatible FIPS-certified USB token you can order the certificate without a new one and save. New users should include a token — it is dispatched free, PAN-India. The certificate is downloaded onto the token.
Why won't a signing-only DSC work on Central Public Procurement Portal?
Because Central Public Procurement Portal seals commercial bids using the encryption key on your certificate. A signing-only certificate has no encryption component, so the portal cannot protect your bid and will reject it. The Class 3 Combo certificate includes both.
