Technology Act 2000 (IT Act 2000) by Digitally Signing electronic
documents in lieu of traditional physical signatures and enjoy the
same legal status as physical signatures, provided the Digital

organizations that are registered with the Directorate General of
Foreign Trade (DGFT) and have a valid Importer-Exporter Code (IEC).

to interact with the DGFT on behalf of the EXIM organization. This
authorized employee would have SafeDoXX for Safe EXIM installed on

What should I do with a Digitally Signed file?
EXIM organizations are required to file several documents with
the DGFT while applying for their duty-drawback licenses. Since DGFT
permits the EXIM organizations to apply for their licenses online,
DGFT has also permitted the EXIM organizations to send these
accompanying documents electronically.
However, DGFT has
stipulated that these electronic documents need to be Digitally
Signed before they are uploaded onto the DGFT website.
Therefore, when applying online for their licenses, the EXIM
organizations would need to use SafeDoXX for Safe EXIM to Digitally
Sign all the accompanying documents and upload them to DGFT through
their website.
What does DGFT do with a Digitally Signed file?
DGFT has incorporated an application on their website that
automatically verifies the Digital Signature on a Digitally Signed
file. This ensures that only documents Digitally Signed by a valid
EXIM organization can be uploaded to DGFT through their
website.
Once the Digitally Signed file is uploaded on DGFT’s
website, DGFT checks to see if the Digital Signature is valid, that
the sender is authentic and that the original document has not been
tampered with. DGFT then processes these documents for issuance of
the licenses.
