"Technology has transformed all sectors in the economy and we understand the importance it plays in increasing our own productivity. We are committed towards making India a technologically advanced country and these efforts start with getting our operations to reflect the government’s mandate. The digitization of all administration is a step towards an efficient and transparent governance. eMudhra’s digital signature solution uplifts the e-Office plan and has managed to eradicate voluminous paper flow, bring in accountability in government offices and most importantly, reduce the carbon footprint in various states,” said V.

A digital signature is a legally valid electronic form of a signature that can be used to authenticate the identity of the sender of a message or the signer of a document, and ensure that the original content of the message or document that has been sent is unchanged. The signature is legally valid and non- repudiable under the Information Technology Act.
