Common DSC Challenges in Delhi

Service	What We Do
Wrong DSC Type for Portal	Delhi contractors get Signing-only when DDA/NDMC/DMRC mandate Combo. Bid rejected at submission. Patron verifies portal requirement first
Aadhaar-Mobile Not Linked	Rohini SME proprietors and CP traders: Aadhaar not linked to current mobile blocks eKYC OTP. Forces slower manual KYC. Patron checks linkage first
Expired DSC Blocks MCA21	AOC-4 by 30 Sept, MGT-7 by 29 Nov. Expired DSC = can't sign forms = Rs 100/day late fee (no cap). Patron tracks expiry for all Delhi clients
DGFT Portal Rejection	Okhla exporters: Organisation DSC name or PAN not matching IEC database at DGFT Delhi = portal authentication failure. Patron verifies before application
Legacy USB Token Incompatible	Post CCA March 2023: older pre-FIPS 140-3 tokens discontinued. Delhi businesses with 2020-22 tokens can't download new DSC. New FIPS token required
