EV SSL Certificate India
An EV SSL certificate makes the certificate authority verify the registered company behind a domain — legal existence, address, a phone callback and an authorised signer — and records it in the certificate. Encryption matches DV. Browsers no longer display the name, so EV now suits tenders, payment gateways and due diligence; WebJi® quotes it per order.
For Indian companies asked for an EV certificate by a tender, payment gateway or procurement team, and for anyone deciding whether EV is needed.

What does an EV SSL certificate verify?
An EV (Extended Validation) certificate verifies the registered organisation behind a domain, not just control of the domain. Under the CA/Browser Forum's EV Guidelines the certificate authority checks four things before it issues, then writes the verified company name and jurisdiction into the certificate itself.
- Legal existence: confirmed from official registry records — for Indian companies, the MCA / Registrar of Companies record.
- Physical address: a real operating address, matched to independent sources.
- Operational phone: verified by a callback, not just a number typed into a form.
- Authorised requester: the order is approved by someone with actual authority in the organisation.
That verification is the product. Warranty and site seals are packaging around it, and the encryption is identical to every other certificate.
EV vs OV vs DV: what changes and what does not
All three certificate types use the same TLS encryption; they differ only in how much identity the certificate authority checks. DV proves domain control, OV adds the company, and EV repeats the company checks more deeply.
| Type | What the CA checks | Company named in certificate | Typical issue time | Fits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DV | Domain control by DNS record, file or email | No | Minutes | Blogs, brochure sites, staging |
| OV | Company registration plus domain control | Yes | A few working days | Business sites and online stores |
| EV | Legal existence, address, phone callback, authorised signer | Yes, with jurisdiction | 1–5 working days with clean documents | Tenders, gateway onboarding, vendor due diligence |
The guide to SSL certificate types also covers wildcard and multi-domain options.
Why browsers stopped showing the EV company name
Major browsers removed the EV company name from the address bar in 2019: Chrome moved it into the page-info panel in version 77, and Firefox did the same in version 70. Safari had already dropped the green name. Browser research found most visitors did not notice or act on the indicator.
Chrome 117 (September 2023) then replaced the padlock itself with a neutral site-settings icon. The verified organisation is still in the certificate: click that icon, open the connection or certificate details, and read the company name and country of registration.
When is an EV certificate still worth buying in India?
Buy EV when someone checking your company asks for it by name: a government or PSU tender, a payment-gateway risk team, or an enterprise procurement review. In those cases the buyer wants a CA-verified company record, not a browser display.
- If a tender document specifies EV SSL, then buy EV, because a DV or OV certificate will not meet the eligibility line.
- If a gateway or bank onboarding team asks for certificate details in a due-diligence pack, then EV gives the strongest record.
- If the site is a blog, brochure site or small shop, then choose DV or OV, because visitors see no difference.
Ask the buyer which certificate they accept before you order. The SSL certificate range lists fixed-price options when EV is not mandatory.
How much does an EV SSL certificate cost in India?
EV is quoted per order in INR before 18% GST, because the CA price depends on the brand and the number of domains covered. You see the figure before you pay. For comparison, WebJi®'s fixed-price Sectigo certificates are listed below.
| Certificate | Covers | Price (₹/yr) | Order |
|---|---|---|---|
| EV SSL | Verified organisation, one or more domains | Quoted per order | Ask for a quote → |
| Sectigo Positive SSL | www + non-www of one domain (DV) | 1,800 | Order Now → |
| Sectigo Positive SSL Wildcard | 1 domain + all sub-domains | 7,500 | Order Now → |
| Sectigo Code Signing SSL | Code-signing certificates for software | 7,200 | Order Now → |
Prices from WebJi® billing, before 18% GST. Free Let's Encrypt SSL is included with all hosting plans. INR billing means the renewal does not move with the dollar rate.
EV certificate validity after the 2026 lifetime cut
Since 15 March 2026 no public TLS certificate, EV included, can be valid for more than 200 days, under CA/Browser Forum Ballot SC-081v3. The limit falls to 100 days from March 2027 and 47 days from March 2029.
A one-year EV purchase therefore needs at least one reissue during the term. Keep the company's registry record, address and phone current, because a mismatch at reissue stalls validation exactly as it would on a new order.
How WebJi® gets an EV certificate issued and installed
WebJi® handles the EV order end to end, and most finish in one to five working days once the documents are clean.
- Send the registered company name, registered address, a working business phone and the name of the authorised signer.
- WebJi® pre-checks those details so a mismatch with the registry record does not stall validation.
- Generate the CSR, or let the team do it; the CSR guide shows how.
- The CA verifies registry records, address and phone callback, then issues the certificate.
- The team installs it on your WebJi® hosting with the intermediate chain and forces HTTPS.
- You receive a browser check and the expiry date in writing; reissues are handled by the same desk.
Delays usually come from a company name that differs from the MCA record, an unanswered callback, or a signer not on record. Questions go to support@webji.services, 24/7 in Hindi and English. Confirm the result with the SSL checker.
Frequently asked questions
Can a proprietorship or partnership firm get an EV certificate?
EV needs an entity whose legal existence can be confirmed in an official registry. A private or public limited company or LLP with an MCA record fits most easily. For a proprietorship, ask the team before ordering whether the CA will accept your registration documents.
Does an EV certificate improve Google rankings?
No. Google treats HTTPS as a light signal, and a DV certificate gives exactly the same benefit as EV. Choose EV for the identity check a buyer or tender requires, not for search.
Can one EV certificate cover several domains?
Yes, as a multi-domain EV certificate listing each name, which is one reason EV is quoted per order. EV cannot be issued as a wildcard, so each sub-domain must be named. See multi-domain SSL for the non-EV option.
What makes EV validation fail or take longer?
A company name or address that does not match the registry record, a phone number the CA cannot verify or that nobody answers on the callback, and an approver who is not on record as authorised. Fixing these before ordering keeps issue within one to five working days.
How can a visitor check that my site uses EV?
Click the site-information icon beside the address, open the connection or certificate details, and look at the Subject. An EV certificate shows the organisation name, registration number and jurisdiction; a DV certificate shows only the domain.
