E-tendering DSC requirements by portal.
Start with the exact tender and the person authorised to sign.
| Portal | Certificate checks |
|---|---|
| Tamil Nadu eProcurement | The portal specifies Class 3 DSC for e-filing. Check the authorised signatory, enrolment and the instructions for your tender. |
| CPPP / Central eProcurement | The portal specifies Class 3 DSC. Confirm bidder identity and transaction requirements before choosing signing or combo. |
| Department users | The CPPP and Tamil Nadu guidance refers to separate signing and encryption key pairs for department users. Confirm the procurement role. |
| GeM / IREPS / other | Identify the exact module, user role and tender. Confirm the current signing method and certificate requirements for that transaction. |
Product selection
Signing and encryption serve different tasks.
The tender and portal determine which functions you need.
| Option | Purpose to confirm |
|---|---|
| Signing DSC | Authenticate the authorised signatory and digitally sign the permitted submission. |
| Signing + encryption | A combo contains separate signing and encryption certificates. Select it when the role or transaction requires both. |
| Existing certificate | Check validity, identity, token and portal acceptance before purchasing a replacement. |
A department-user requirement does not establish a combo requirement for every bidder. Check the actual tender instructions.

E-tendering DSC FAQs.
Confirm the certificate and support for your task.
Call FinbeesIs Class 3 DSC required for Tamil Nadu tenders and CPPP?
Both portals' published DSC guidance specifies Class 3 for e-filing. Confirm the tender, user role and authorised signatory before choosing the certificate.
Does every bidder need signing plus encryption?
Choose signing or combo according to your tender's requirements. The department-user guidance requires separate signing and encryption key pairs. Confirm your bidder requirements before ordering.
Can a company buy a DSC without naming a signatory?
The filing certificate identifies the person who signs. Confirm the company or bidder details and that person's authority before applying.
Can I use my existing DSC for a tender?
Check validity, identity, token compatibility, portal registration and the tender requirements. Acceptance on another portal does not confirm this tender's requirements.
Does this cover GeM and IREPS too?
Finbees accepts enquiries for these portals. Confirm the exact module and transaction before recommending a signing method or certificate.
Will delivery complete my tender submission?
Token delivery does not complete bidder enrolment, document preparation or bid submission. List any agreed setup or portal tasks separately in the quote.
Can you guarantee approval before the bid deadline?
The standard service expects completion within two days from payment, including verification, approval and delivery. Your quote confirms timing for your application and location.
What if my DSC will expire before the tender closes?
Check the certificate validity and tender timeline before submission. Request renewal assessment and confirm token suitability and any portal update.
