The e-Form DIN 1 should be digitally signed by a practicing professional (CA/ CS/ CWA). Even if applicant is a CA/CS/CWA he can not himself digitally sign on DIN1

As per my view, Apart From the persons named By Mr. Sanjay, a Company Secretary (Who is member of ICSI) in whole time Employment having DSC can sign the E-Form DIN 1.

Agree with Jitendra Ji...Good Additi... Further, secretary (who is member of ICSI) in whole time employment having DSC can sign E-form DIN1 only in case of existing company in which applicant is to be associated. In case of DIN1 for new company the question of same does not arise.

Jitendra is also correct. But in case of DIN is certified by Company Secretary in whole time employment, the documents attached shall be certified by offical gazette.
In case DIN 1 is signed by CS in Whole Time Employment, Docs attached can be attested either by Applicant or duly attested by either Public Notary or a Gazette Officer of a Government
following is the extracts of instruction kit of DIN 1 from mca
If eForm is digitally signed by a Chartered Accountant (CA) or Cost Accountant (CWA) or Company Secretary (CS) (in whole time practice) The supporting documents attached shall be self attested by the applicant. If eForm is digitally signed by secretary (who is member of ICSI), in whole time employment of existing company The supporting documents attached shall be either self attested by the applicant or duly attested by either Public Notary or a Gazette Officer of a Government The attesting authority must indicate the following while attesting the documents:- (i) Signatures; (ii) Name in full in Capitals; (iii) Registration No.; and (iv) Seal/ Stamp.
