Acceptance of Digitally Signed Documents (Circular No. 3 of 2021)
The Financial Services Authority mandates the acceptance of electronic documents bearing digital signatures affixed with certificates issued exclusively by DocuSign. This policy, aligned with the Electronic Transactions Act of 2001 and its 2018 regulations, ensures enhanced security through a standardized validation process. Consequently, digital signatures from other certifying authorities will be rejected unless they incorporate the required affixed certificate to establish authenticity and validity.
