Sample resolution

RESOLVED THAT [Name], Director (DIN [____]), be authorised to apply for and obtain a Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate, and that the DSC be used for signing and filing forms on the MCA and other government portals on behalf of the company.

Why is a DSC resolution needed?

A Digital Signature Certificate is issued to an individual director or authorised signatory, but it is used to sign the company’s filings. This resolution records the Board’s authorisation for the director to procure the DSC and to use it for the company’s MCA, GST, income-tax and other filings.
