1. Health lab reports are signed digitally by pathologists by uploading an image of the

   No, these cropped signatures are not compliant.

   . Are these compliant?

As per the Indian Medical Council (Professional Conduct, Etiquette, and Ethics) Regulations, 2002 – lab reports must carry the signature of a Registered Medical Practitioner (RMP).

Since a “signature” is mandated, only valid electronic signatures under the IT Act can be used digitally, such as:

• Aadhaar eSign
• PAN eSign
• DSC 
• DocSigner

For this use case, we recommend SignStation.

It allows pathologists to automatically affix DocSigner signatures on lab reports at the click of a button.

2. I don’t want to purchase a full eSign software plan just to sign policy documents. What can I do instead?

You're right, buying a full eSign suite solely for DocSigner usage might be too much. 

If your team only needs to affix an insurer’s or branch head’s signature on policy documents, SignStation is the ideal solution. It offers:

• Built-in DocSigner functionality
• Automated signing
• Lower cost than standard eSign products
  

This keeps your policy signing flow compliant without the cost of a full workflow engine.
