 OBTAINING DIGITAL CERTIFICATES FOR SECURE TRANSACTION

 In order to avail these facilities the users have to obtain Class III digital certificates from any leading Certifying Authorities such as NIC,MTNL, TCS, Safe script, GNFC, iTrust, iCert, (n)Code Solutions as per IT Act 2000 as indicated below.

 Whenever the users in need of help they can contact the nearest offices as per addresses column of DGS&D site. They can also contact the following officials namely Director (Computerization and Training) Tele No 23362890 or Additional Director General (Quality Assurance) Tele No 23742225 for any help.

Regarding issue of digital signature by NIC-CA, it may be noted that NIC-CA  is charging lower rates and the most of the Government Departments are interested in obtaining the digital signature certificates from NIC-CA. However, it has been informed that the officers applying for D.S.C. have to present themselves physically before the NIC-CA officials.  The officials of NIC-CA authorized to issue DSCs are only available in Delhi and Bangalore.  As the Government Departments cannot issue Supply Orders without DSC, there is an urgent need to issue them the DSCs.  The officers located all over the country cannot visit Delhi or Bangalore to be physically present before the NIC-CA officials.  Even if they are able to do so, the cost of travel, TA/DA would more than offset the cost of of obtaining DSC from the other Certifying Authorities. Therefore, the user departments may consider this aspect of overall economy and may consider obtaining DSCs from other Certifying Authorities especially those located outside Delhi and Banglore.

 INSTRUCTION TO INDENTORS FOR PLACEMENT OF SUPPLY ORDER

(i)         DDOs may continue to place Supply Orders manually for spares, industrial gases, cement, jute and NDP based items till further instructions by DGS&D as end-to-end software are under development.

 

 (ii)       While generating the Supply Orders through the system in case of any slab discount is applicable in the R/C, the discounted price is not reflected in online Supply Order as the field entries in the software for discount are yet to be incorporated.  It would require chain of modules to be suitably modified.  Therefore, DDOs should place online supply orders which may not calculate the total prices based on the slab discount, if applicable in the R/C.  However, discounted prices shall be paid to the firm by the Paying Authority i.e. Controller of Accounts at the discounted rate mentioned in the R/C. The R/C terms & conditions shall override the terms and conditions of the Supply Order.  A stipulation on the Supply Order that the R/C terms and conditions have overriding effect on the Supply Order has already been incorporated.

                                                                                                                                   

(iii)       As the DDOs are facing the difficulty in getting the digital signatures from the Certifying Agencies.  Therefore, it has been decided that for the time being, DDOs may generate the Supply Orders through the system and  send printed copy of Supply Order duly ink signed  to all concerned as per existing procedure.  This facility has been allowed for three months only i.e. up to 31.12.07.  Thereafter, placement of online supply orders with digital signature only shall be acceptable.

DIRECTORATE GENERAL OF SUPPLIES & DISPOSALS

JEEVAN TARA BUILDING’, SECOND FLOOR

No: M-12014/02/C&T/2007                                                        Dated 16-03-2007

Sub: Creation of Userid/Password  of Direct Demanding Officers (DDO) , Consignees to enable them to login DGS&D website for online supplyorders.

 

Ref: Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure circular No 8(5)/E-II(A)/2006 dated 10/01/2007.

 

               DGS&D’s e-procurement platform besides modules for internal usage also provides for the following on-line activities to be performed by indentors:

 

(i)            Placement of supply orders against DGS&D Rate Contract (R/C).

 

(ii)           Checking the despatch details against supply order placed.

 

(iii)          Furnishing of consignee receipt certificate against the supply orders by the consignees.

 

(iv)         Debit adjustments against supplies made with accounts officers of           DDOs.

 

               There are other online facilities such as giving suggestions for bringing new items on Rate Contract etc. to indentors/ DDOs.

 

               Informative portion of DGS&D website can be accessed without login id by Govt departments and others.  However, for interactive modules, mentioned above, DGS&D has finalised a secure access control system to ensure that only the concerned and authorised agency/ authority should have access to the relevant modules/ documents/ data.

 

               The supply order concludes the contract and is a contractual document and in terms of the Information Technology Act 2000 (as amended) should be digitally signed by DDO, i.e. by an authorised officer of the user department placing supply order against the rate contract on the firm.  It is, therefore, necessary that all officers of your organisation who are authorised to place supply orders against DGS&D R/Cs obtain valid digital signature certificates from any of the agency authorised for this purpose.  Further, details regarding authorised agency etc can be seen from the DGS&D website www.dgsnd.gov.in or DIT/ certifying authority website no. http://cca.gov.in.

 

               In addition to the legal requirement of digital signature of contractual documents, DGS&D e-procurement platform also provides for secure access control system requiring unique login-id and password to individual DDOs and consignees.  It has, therefore, been decided that each department/ organization would nominate one or two coordinating and authenticating officers preferably in SAG grade to whom user-id and initial password would be issued. The initial password would be changed by the concerned user at the time of first login.  The user-id would be in maximum 12 alpha-numeric characters. The password would be minimum 4 characters and maximum 8 characters. Upto 4 characters would be indicated by DGS&D to identify the organization such as nrly for Northern Railway, bsf for Border Security Force, crpf for Central Reserve Police Force etc.  The remaining 6 characters would be utilised by the concerned department/ organization to give unique login-id to their respective DDOs/ consignees.  The authorised coordinating officers would be required to coordinate the allocation of unique user ids for the DDOs and consignees of the organization. Each coordinating officer of the department/ organization would prepare a list of officers and allot them a user-id. The coordinating officers would also be responsible for getting the application form and other documents filled up by the respective DDOs/ consignees who would operate DGS&D R/C. The coordinating officers from the departments should ensure no duplicating DDOs in their lists.   They would be given initial password thereafter.  This password would be changed by the user at the time of first login.

 

               The coordinating officers are requested to identify the DDOs and monitor further action for obtaining digital signature certificates from any of the authorised agencies.  They should also finalise the login-id of these DDOs.

 

               Each DDO placing the supply order may require the goods to be despatched to a number of consignees of the organization.  These consignees should be able to view the information regarding the supply status by the firm after inspection and also should be able to furnish the consignee

 

receipt certificate through on-line CRC form.  The organization considering the volume of procurement, security etc has to decide whether these consignees should also have digital signature certificates or can be asked to furnish CRC through electronic signatures i.e. login and password system available. In case the value of the consignment is more than Rs 100000 (one Lakh), the consignee would have to have digital signature certificates to furnish CRC. In case it is decided that some of the consignees would not be given digital signatures certificate they would be given a unique login id and an initial password which would be changed by them at the time of the first login. 

 

               It is possible that one particular office could be a consignee for more than one DDO and therefore, master list of consignees for that particular organisation is maintained. A special care need be exercised in respect of consignees who have not been given digital signature. This master list would be incorporated in DGS&D data base and could be used for selection (from a drop down table) of individual consignee against a particular supply order.  This provision would be incorporated in the system after the details have been finalised by the user organization.  All these consignees can be selected through the master list while allocating them quantity against a particular supply order.

 

               Head of Department/ Organization are therefore, requested to immediately take the following action for smooth operation of the electronic supply order against DGS&D R/C:

 

               (i)            obtain digital certificate for DDOs authorised to place the supply order against DGS&D R/C.

 

               (ii)           decide the details of the consignees who would not require digital signature certificates but would operate only through electronic signature, i.e. login-id and password for furnishing CRC etc.

 

(iii)              Finalise login-ids of all DDOs and consignees.

 

(iv)            to issue internal instructions to ensure that the DDO and/ or consignee who demit the office either by transfer, superannuation etc are not able to operate the login-id, digitally sign if not authorised to do so.

 

(v)              While creating the user id, the characters such as  dot(.), Hyphen (-), dash (_) are allowed.  Special character such as # is not

allowed.  The users should not leave space at the beginning of the user id / password.  They are also requested to create the password in the lower case.
