Builds on: Electronic Evidence: Foundations

Unit 1B15 minEnglish

India: The Section 63 Certificate

Readiness training. LEA.Training does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.

In India, a printout, a pen drive copy or a CD of an electronic record usually needs one more paper before a court will look at it: the section 63 certificate. Good evidence has been thrown out because this paper was missing.

Focus: two parts, two signatures, one hash value, filed each time. This unit is general knowledge. It is not legal advice. The law is new, so read the current text.

Learning objectives

  • Explain when the section 63 certificate is needed.
  • Describe Part A and Part B of the certificate, and who signs each.
  • Explain where the hash value goes and why.
  • State what the leading Supreme Court rulings decided.
