1. Assessee must be having the registered user of the e-filing portal with valid username and password.

2. Downloaded and Installed the “emsigner utility” (eMBridge)

3. Valid DSC token of Class 2 or Class 3, which should be active and not expired.

Procedure of DSC registration :

Step -1 : Login to the E- filing website (www.incometax.gov.in) with username and password of Individual or authorized signatory.

Step-2 : Click on “My Profile” form the login Dashboard.

Step-3 : Now at the left side of the screen click on ” Register DSC” to register new DSC

Step-4 : Your PAN number will be displayed and select “I have downloaded and installed emsigner utility” (Which we have already downloaded if now download and install “eMBridge” using the link the displayed in screen). Click on Continue.

Step-5 : Insert the USB token in the USB port of your machine and run the “eMBridge”

Step-6 : Select the Provider in the Drop down (Provider details are displayed in the after successful running of the eMBridge application, Select the Certificate from the drop down (DSC holder name will be shown in the drop down)

Step-7 :  Enter the Provider Password i.e. DSC token password and click on “Sign”

    I am a Director and Principal Contact person of Company I was registered my DSC in individual login Portal successfully, now how can I register my DSC in Company login portal? where I can process,there is no options showing when I login into company I T Portal.Please guide me.Thank you

    1. CA Srikanth Vuppala says:

      DSC should be registered in Individual login and it is not required to register in the Company/ Firm/ Society login. In company login add that Individual in “Key Person Details” tab.

    1. CA Srikanth Vuppala says:

      Once you click on the forgot password you’ll redirect to Forgot Password page, where you can enter PAN number and Select Reset Password by selecting “Upload Digital Signature Certificate” option, where you can select New DSC.

    Sir, When I register DSC one error occur i.e. “Something went wrong. Error: More than one private key with id “7B” was found”

    This error occur only when in one token more than one DSC are install.

    Pls help to resolved it

    1. Anbu Raja says:

      The error is encountered when an extra private key and public key gets generated while
      downloading the DSC. Please follow the below steps to rectify the error:
      o Open the token drivers and check whether duplicate private key and public key is
      generated.
      o Remove/ delete the duplicate private key /public key.
      o Restart the browser and try to select the certificate.
      Note: Ensure that only the duplicate private/public key in the token is being deleted, if original private key
      is deleted then you have to contact certificate provider to re-download the certificate.

    sir, i cant register class 2 dsc in new income tax portal of partnership firm. kindly could you tell me what is the reason of this. I have listen it is not possible with class 2. I have to take class 3 dsc. Is it right or wrong? Please hemp me sir.

    1. CA Ratan Sharma says:

      There is no provision to register dsc at the company’s login. Instead go to the individuals login portal and register the DSC there. It will work.

  8. praveen g says:

    As per Latest IT rules, this dsc needs to be authenticated thru Authorized Signatory personal IT login. Can’t register directly thru Company login. Please check. There is no option in company login to register for DSC.
