After DSC enrollment with the DA login, Admin has to activate the account for e-payment, which is a one-time activity. 

Once the account is activated, Admin has to configure the DCS signatory, authorising for e-payments, which is just once after a new DSC enrollment.

After configuration by the Admin, DA will log in and sign the enrollment file - again, a one-time activity.

The State Level Scheme manager has to set a drawing limit before the DA goes for e-payment approvals.

For the security of e-payments, a two-level DSC is required for approval. The process of creating a second-level DSC is given below.
