Is a Digital Signature Legal?
In most countries, an electronic signature is legally binding for most types of documents. In India, the IT Act 2000 recognizes electronic signatures. In the US, the ESIGN Act and UETA apply. For highly sensitive contracts (property, wills, court documents), a certified digital signature (DSC) from a CA may be required — but for everyday business documents, an e-signature is perfectly valid.
