Sign PDF with Digital Signature in India — Free, No App
Overview
Electronic signatures are legally recognised for most private contracts and agreements in India under the Information Technology Act, 2000. PDF Mavericks lets you draw your signature with a mouse or touchscreen and place it on any PDF page. No app download, no OTP, no DSC token required for everyday signing. For legally mandated digital signatures (government filings, e-tendering, MCA), you need a Class 2 or Class 3 DSC from a licensed certifying authority.
How to Use This Tool
Open the Sign PDF tool. Draw your signature using your mouse or touchscreen. Position the signature on the page using the size and position sliders. Download the signed PDF. For multi-page documents, you can sign on any page before downloading.

Is an electronic signature legally valid in India?
Yes, for most private contracts and business agreements under the IT Act 2000 and Indian Contract Act. For government submissions, company filings (MCA), and e-tendering, a DSC from a licensed CA is required — PDF Mavericks does not issue DSCs.
Can I sign PDFs on my phone in India?
Yes. The Sign tool works on Android and iPhone browsers. Use your finger to draw your signature on a touchscreen — it typically looks better than a mouse-drawn signature.
How is this different from a DSC digital signature?
A DSC is a cryptographic certificate issued by a licensed certifying authority (like eMudhra or Sify) that proves your identity and is tamper-evident. PDF Mavericks provides electronic signatures — an image of your signature placed on the PDF — which is sufficient for most private agreements but not for government-mandated DSC-only submissions.
