As issuance of any digital signature certificate is governed by rules laid down by the CCA (www.cca.gov.in) which requires physical documents to be presented to the Certifying Authority prior to issuance of the digital signature. These documents are the equivalent of a bank's KYC (know your customer) and consist of an approved ID proof and address proof for the individual as we'll as the company, if a company type of digital signature is requested.
