DSC Module

No filing blocked because of an expired DSC. Ever.

An expired DSC stops all portal-based filings simultaneously — GST, Income Tax, MCA, and more. For a group with multiple entities and directors, tracking individual expiry dates from memory is how filings get blocked on the day they're due. Finndesk gives you 60 days of warning.

Why this matters

The problem DSC Module solves

Most statutory tasks in group companies go wrong due to operational gaps — spreadsheets and calendars don't talk directly to portals.

🔑

DSC expiry has no built-in notification

There is no system alert in the DSC ecosystem. Expiry dates are on physical USB dongles and three-year-old email confirmations. Finance teams find out when a portal login fails on the morning a filing is due.

👨‍💼

Multiple directors across multiple entities — no central record

A group with 6 companies might have 12+ directors, each with DSCs from different certifying authorities, different class levels, and different expiry dates. Tracking this across a spreadsheet is a full-time job — and one that everyone avoids.

One expired DSC cascades into multiple missed deadlines

The same DSC is used for GSTN, MCA, Income Tax, and EPFO. One expiry blocks all four. Getting a replacement takes 3–7 business days. By then, multiple deadlines have passed.

Three steps to full coverage

01

Build the DSC registry for your group

Enter each director's DSC details — name, certifying authority, class, serial number, expiry date, and portals it's registered on. Finndesk creates one central registry for your entire group. Takes 10 minutes to set up.

02

Receive alerts with 60 days of runway

Finndesk monitors every DSC expiry date. At 60 days, a WhatsApp alert goes to the finance team — enough time to renew without urgency. Escalating alerts at 30, 15, and 7 days ensure nothing is forgotten.

03

Renew and update — the cycle resets

Renew the DSC with your certifying authority and update the new expiry date in Finndesk. The alert calendar resets automatically for the new validity period. No gap in coverage.
