Is it possible to use the same DSC for signing documents that will be uploaded to E-SANCHIT as I use for signing BE and SB documents?&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Ans.

How do I search for a document that I already uploaded?&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Ans. Search functionality is available on the same page of the E-SANCHIT program in a separate tab. You can search any document uploaded using the IRN, DRN, Supporting document kinds, and dates ranges. If you want to search for a document older than 30 days, you must submit a request for it to be retrieved from archival by simply searching for it and following the procedures. There is one exemption for parent PGA users: they can log in as a power user in E-SANCHIT and access papers from the last 30 days right away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"13-q13-how-long-will-the-document-retrieved-from-archival-be-available-on-the-internet-\">Q13.

What is the difference between IRN and DRN?&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Ans. The document reference number (DRN) is a unique number for a batch of uploaded documents. One DRN can be assigned to five IRN numbers. Image reference number (IRN) is a unique number assigned to each document. Instead of DRN, a group of IRN should be entered into the Bill of Entry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"16-q16-what-are-the-alternative-options-for-getting-into-the-e-sanchit-application-\">Q16.

What causes a digital signature to be invalid?&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Ans. It&#8217;s possible that your signature isn&#8217;t registered on the ICEGATE website, or that you haven&#8217;t signed the document you&#8217;re attempting to submit with your digital signature.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"18-q18-what-should-i-do-if-the-document-isnt-in-pdf-format-\">Q18. What should I do if the document isn&#8217;t in PDF format?&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Ans. The E-SANCHIT application only supports PDF documents. You can contact the document issuer for the right PDF format or print and scan the document into a PDF.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"19-q19-is-it-possible-to-have-many-pages-in-a-single-document-\">Q19. Is it possible to have many pages in a single document?&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Ans. Yes, there is no limit on the number of pages, however, the file size must not exceed the size limit of the specified document type.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"20-q20-how-do-i-map-the-irn-acquired-after-uploading-documents-in-e-sanchit-to-an-importexport-flat-file-\">Q20.
