Only those electronic authentication techniques which are considered reliable can be notified in the Second Schedule. 3. Once an electronic signature method is notified in the Second Schedule, it cannot be omitted.

    A 1 and 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2 and 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1 and 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All three Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Section 3A of the IT Act introduces the concept of electronic signatures and expressly states that electronic signatures include digital signatures. It further provides that only reliable electronic authentication techniques, as notified by the Central Government, can be included in the Second Schedule. However, the Act also allows the Government to add or omit methods from the Schedule by notification. Therefore, statement 3 is incorrect. Statements 1 and 2 are correct, making option A the correct answer.
