Aadhar eSignature is a digital signature that uses just your Aadhar number mobile number as an identity verification method. This allows you to sign documents online without any physical signatures! This has been designated as a valid mode of electronic signature under Schedule II of the Information Technology Act, 2000.

Multiple banks, NBFCs, insurance companies, MNCs, government agencies, and even the Supreme Court in India today use Aadhaar eSign to replace physical signatures in their daily contract management needs.

An Electronic Signature is a digital form of a wet link signature. Although it is legally binding and secure, it does not comprise any coding or related standards for verification.

On the other hand, a Digital Signature uses encryption standards to verify the signer's identity. As a result, it is more secure than an electronic signature and is globally accepted as a legally binding form of signature. Furthermore, the validation of digital signatures is usually authorised because it is carried out by trusted certificate authorities or trust service providers.

The IT Act considers digital signatures such as Aadhaar-based e-Sign to be as legally valid as physical signatures. Therefore, they are also 100% admissible in court!

There are many advantages of using e-signatures over traditional wet ink signatures:

• E-signatures are legally binding and compliant with global standards.
• E-signatures are more secure than wet ink signatures as they use encryption to verify the signer's identity.
• Digital signatures can be used to sign documents online without needing physical presence.
• E-signatures are more efficient as they can be used to sign multiple documents simultaneously.
• Reduces operational costs, saves time, and promotes better workflow and business efficiency.
• e-Signs are linked to an individual's identity, removing the possibility of tampering or fraud.

Using e-Sign, an individual authorized by the organisation can digitally sign documents. To be authorized for this purpose, the organisation's board of directors must pass a resolution authorizing the individual to sign documents on its behalf. This resolution must be documented, and the authorized person must agree to sign documents on the organisation's behalf.
