Is a signature added this way legally valid?
For many everyday documents, such as offer letters, rental agreements, school forms and internal approvals, an image of your handwritten signature is accepted in practice. Some documents legally require an electronic signature under India's Information Technology Act, 2000, such as Aadhaar eSign or a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC); these are needed for filings like company (MCA) forms and many tenders. Check what the recipient requires.
