DSC Register for CA, CS & Tax Firms — Know Which DSC Expires Before the Filing Does
Directors, partners and proprietors each hold a DSC, and your firm files with all of them. PracticeStacks keeps every client's certificate in one list — when it expires, which token it sits on, and who has that token right now.

The Problem — Why Firms Struggle with DSC Register
The Solution — PracticeStacks DSC Register
Purpose-built for CA, CS & Tax firms in India.
One Register for Every Client
Every client's DSCs in one list, soonest expiry first. Filter to what has expired, what expires in the next 30 days, or the tokens kept in your office.
Expiry Emails Before It Lapses
One email a morning lists the certificates expiring in 30 days, in 7 days, and the ones that have lapsed. Each certificate appears once per stage, not every day.
Who Has the Token
Mark each token as with your firm or with the client, note where it is kept, and see who moved it and when.
Token PIN, Kept Safe
Save the token PIN encrypted. It is shown only when someone presses Show, and every time it is shown is logged against that person.
Certificate Details
Holder, certifying authority (eMudhra, Capricorn, Sify, VSign and more), token make (ePass 2003, mToken, HYP2003, ProxKey), class and type.
On the Client's Page Too
Each client's DSCs sit beside their documents and portal logins, with a warning on the tab when one has expired.
How It Works
Add the DSC
Pick the client and the director or partner it belongs to, and enter the expiry date. Token, authority and PIN can be filled now or later.
Track Custody
Record whether the token is with you or with the client. Each change is kept, so you can see where it went.
Renew on Time
The morning email and the register's Expiring filter tell you which certificates to renew. Update the expiry date after renewal and it drops off the list.
FAQs about DSC Register
Can I track DSCs for all my clients in one place?
Yes. The DSC Register lists every client's certificates together, sorted by expiry date, with filters for expired, expiring in 30 days, and tokens kept in your office.
Will I be reminded before a client's DSC expires?
Yes. The firm gets one email a morning listing certificates that have reached 30 days, 7 days, or have expired. Each certificate is included once at each stage.
Is it safe to store the DSC token PIN?
The PIN is stored encrypted and is not shown in any list. It appears only when someone presses Show, and each reveal is recorded with who looked and when.
Can I limit which staff see client DSCs?
Yes. The DSC Register is its own module that you grant per employee, and staff only see DSCs for the clients they work on.
