    1. My DSC is already registered from which i have approved my tax audit report.
      But when i am filing ITR3, it says that DSC is not registered and when i am registering the DSC it it says that PAN is not matching.

      Also, one more query, whether two different person can upload e-submissions on different company’s e-submission by using this Directors’ DSC (assuming the above individual is the Director of a different company). This Director has 2 DSC and we have so many company’s where he the Director. Kindly advise.
