Electronic signature authentication permits issuer opinions as relevant evidence when authenticity requires judicial determination in proceedings.

Section 47A of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 makes the opinion of the Certifying Authority that issued an Electronic Signature Certificate a relevant fact where a court must form an opinion on a person's electronic signature. The relevance applies only to the opinion of the Certifying Authority issuing the relevant Electronic Signature Certificate and where judicial assessment of a person's electronic signature is required.
