For India · Section 63 BSA, the certificate wants a hash
The certificate asks for
a hash value.
So produce one.
The only web evidence tool whose proofs survive even if our company disappears. Self-verifiable cryptography, no vendor lock-in, no “trust us” required.
Tamper-proof cryptographic evidence courts accept: hash, signature, blockchain timestamp, capture video, Provenance Certificate. One click. 41 seconds.
From $8.99/mo (about ₹860) · Up to 15 files per package · 23 countries
Also available for Microsoft Edge · The only extension with legally binding EU timestamps in all 27 member states
In India, section 63 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023 has required since 1 July 2024 that a certificate accompanying an electronic record state the hash value of that record. ProofSnap is a Chrome and Edge extension that captures any web page in about 41 seconds and produces exactly that hash, signed and timestamped.
Indian evidence law names the exact artefact a forensic capture produces. Since 1 July 2024, section 63 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023 has replaced section 65B of the Evidence Act. An electronic record is admissible without producing the original device, but only with a certificate, and that certificate must now be signed in two parts, by the person in lawful control of the device and by an expert, and under section 63(4)(c) it must state the hash value of the record. Courts have described that hash as an electronic fingerprint that lets them test whether a file has been altered. A 2026 study by Dr Arti Singh in the International Innovations and Scholarly Trends Journal (IISTJ), covering 82 trial court orders from Delhi and Mumbai between July 2024 and August 2026, found that certificate-related rejections of electronic evidence fell from 67 per cent to 3.6 per cent after the change, but that overall rejection still ran at 37.8 per cent, and that 61.3 per cent of those rejections were for non-production of the hash value. That is the whole argument on this page: a phone screenshot has no hash worth certifying, and a captured package has one generated at the moment of capture.
ProofSnap is a Chrome and Edge extension that captures a web page, a chat or a dashboard in about 41 seconds and returns a package containing the full page, the saved source, the URL, the capture time in UTC, an SHA-256 hash of every file, an RSA-4096 signature and a Bitcoin blockchain anchor. Every one of those is what the technical part of the certificate has to describe. ProofSnap does not sign your certificate: Part A and Part B are signed by people. What it supplies is the awkward part: a hash worth certifying at all.
Most Indian disputes reach a forum that works from the file you lodge. Our guide to consumer commission evidence covers the two year limitation under section 69 of the Consumer Protection Act 2019 and filing on e-Jagriti, the cyber fraud guide covers the 1930 helpline and the three-working-day RBI liability rule, and the defamation and takedown guide covers section 356 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the IT Rules timelines. The section 63 certificate guide explains what goes in Part A and Part B. Pricing starts at $8.99/month (about ₹860) with a 7-day free trial that requires a payment card. Used by advocates, compliance teams and investigators in 23 countries.

Why do Indian courts reject screenshots?
United States courts rejected screenshot evidence in US v. Vayner, Griffin v. State and Serrano v. Cruz-Angeles. The authentication gap they identified is the same one here.
No timestamp proof
File timestamps can be changed in seconds. Courts know this. Without a blockchain or eIDAS-qualified timestamp, you can't prove when you captured it.
No tampering detection
Any screenshot can be edited in 10 seconds with AI. In Sept 2025, a California judge dismissed a case after discovering deepfaked video evidence. Without an SHA-256 hash, there's no way to prove yours is real.
No chain of custody
Who captured it? When? On what device? How was it stored? Screenshots don't answer any of these questions. Under section 63 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, an electronic record needs a certificate stating its hash value.
Your screenshot
- 1 JPEG file, no proof it's real
- No timestamp, could have been taken anytime
- Editable in Photoshop in 10 seconds
- "Anyone could have made this", judge
ProofSnap evidence package
- Up to 15 files, screenshot, HTML, metadata, forensic log
- Blockchain timestamp, immutable proof of when
- Video of capture + Provenance Certificate
- Chain of custody, and the hash the section 63 certificate needs
Built for how disputes start in India
Capture it before they delete it
Most Indian matters are decided from a file: a consumer complaint lodged on e-Jagriti, a bank assessing customer liability, a grievance officer with fifteen days to decide, a court asked for an interim injunction. Every one of them will accept an electronic record only with a section 63 certificate, and that certificate has to state the hash value of the record.
Section 63: the certificate wants a hash
From 1 July 2024 section 63 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam replaced section 65B. The certificate is in two parts, signed by the person in lawful control of the device and by an expert, and it must state the hash value of the record. The Supreme Court upheld that requirement in May 2026 in Pune Bar Association v. Union of India, W.P.(C) No. 599/2026, describing the hash as “synonymous with an electronic fingerprint”, and holding that the expert who signs Part B need not be an Examiner of Electronic Evidence notified under section 79A of the IT Act. See the section 63 certificate guide.
Cyber fraud: minutes, then three days
Reporting on 1930 inside the golden hour is what can freeze the money. Notifying the bank within three working days is what leaves the customer with zero liability under the RBI framework, with the credit due in ten working days. Both ask what you were shown. See the cyber fraud evidence guide.
Consumer commission: two years, filed online
Section 69 of the Consumer Protection Act 2019 bars a complaint filed more than two years after the cause of action, condonation aside. Filing is on e-Jagriti and the matter runs on documents and affidavits. See the consumer commission evidence guide.
Defamation and takedown pull apart
Section 356 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita replaced IPC 499 and 500 from 1 July 2024. Under the IT Rules the grievance officer acknowledges in twenty-four hours and decides in fifteen days, so the post is often gone before any court sees it. See the defamation and takedown guide.
Guides for Indian matters
Pick the forum you are dealing with
Each guide covers the deadlines that apply, what the decision maker is actually weighing, and what to capture first.
Section 63 BSA certificate
Two signatures and a hash value, since 1 July 2024.
Cyber fraud and 1930
Three working days for zero liability, minutes for the money.
Consumer commission
Two years from the cause of action, filed on e-Jagriti.
Defamation and takedown
BNS 356, and a grievance officer with 15 days.
India has no equivalent of an EU qualified timestamp, so treat the eIDAS option as useful for cross-border matters rather than as a presumption before an Indian court. Different country? See ProofSnap in the UK, South Africa, Australia or Canada.
Official Indian sources
The legal framing on this page rests on the following primary sources. Check them rather than taking our word for it.
- Section 63, Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023 admissibility of electronic records and the certificate, including the hash value.
- India Code: Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023 the Act as enacted, in force from 1 July 2024.
- Section 69, Consumer Protection Act 2019 the two-year limitation period for a consumer complaint.
- National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal the official channel for reporting cyber fraud, with the 1930 helpline.
ProofSnap is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. Section 63 does not oblige anyone to accept a capture. It requires a certificate stating the hash value of the record, and the package is built to make that hash worth stating.
Don't trust us. Trust the maths.
Three vendor approaches. One critical difference.
Most web-evidence tools force you to depend on them. ProofSnap evidence is self-verifiable: anyone with the ZIP can confirm authenticity using open standards (SHA-256, OpenTimestamps, eIDAS), with or without ProofSnap continuing to exist.
| ProofSnap | Page Vault / Pagefreezer | Notary / Wayback Machine | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Verifiable without the vendor? | Yes, SHA-256 + OpenTimestamps work forever | No, verification requires their portal | No, depends on archive availability |
| What if the vendor disappears? | Evidence still valid | Evidence becomes hard to defend | Wayback can be wiped on request |
| Independent court-expert verification | Any IT expert, in 60 seconds | Requires vendor cooperation | Requires manual screenshot |
| Cryptographic proof in the file itself | Yes, open standards (SHA-256, OTS, eIDAS) | Proprietary format | None |
“Its merit is based on it being self-verifiable, and not necessarily dependent on the credit or level of trust afforded to the company or institution behind it.”

As AI-generated content floods the web, courts increasingly question whether digital evidence is real. The Provenance Certificate and C2PA manifest prove your capture is authentic, not AI-generated or manipulated. Required under EU AI Act Art. 50 (Aug 2026).
Video of Capture
capture_video.webm
Screen recording included in the evidence package, three modes:
- Auto: records the capture process (~60s), page scroll, screenshots, metadata extraction.
- Manual: press Start before playing media on the page (live stream, infringer video, deepfake), Stop & Capture when done. Up to 5 min on Essential / Pro, 10 min on Enterprise / Company.
- Session: multi-tab. Records continuously while you browse across multiple tabs, then bundles a per-tab forensic package for every visited tab (full-page screenshot, HTML, DOM, DNS, WHOIS, TLS, signed evidence.pdf) into one signed ZIP.
All three modes hash the recorded video into the signed manifest, so any single-frame change breaks the signature. Available on all plans.
EU Court-Ready Timestamp
manifest.json.tsr
EU qualified timestamp (RFC 3161, eIDAS Art. 41), admissible in all 27 EU member states.
SESSION CAPTURE
Multi-tab forensics in one ZIP
Record across tabs. Every visited http(s) tab gets its own forensic folder (screenshot, HTML, DOM, DNS, WHOIS, TLS, signed evidence.pdf) inside a single signed, blockchain-timestamped ZIP with a session-wide video.
Use cases: multi-platform fraud, IP theft across domains, employment claims, regulator portal audits.

Independent legal opinion · 21 April 2026
Law firm confirms: ProofSnap is usable as evidence in court
The opinion was prepared by SEDLAKOVA LEGAL s.r.o. (Brno, Czech Bar Association, Company ID 05669871) under EU law (Regulation 910/2014, eIDAS) with reference to Czech civil procedure. Cross-references to the US Federal Rules of Evidence (FRE 901, 902(13)-(14), proposed FRE 707) and the English Civil Procedure Rules (CPR 32, 35) added by the ProofSnap team for orientation of common-law readers. The opinion does not cover Indian law. For India the operative provision is section 63 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam and the certificate it requires, and no opinion makes a record admissible by itself.
FRE 901 · FRE 902(13)-(14) · CPR 32 · eIDAS Art. 41
Admissible across proceeding types
ProofSnap outputs are usable as means of evidence in civil, criminal and administrative proceedings. Authentication satisfied under FRE 901 / 902 in the US, CPR 32 in the UK, and free evaluation of evidence in EU systems, reinforced by US case law (Vayner, Lorraine v. Markel, Mendones).
Notarial deed · Court reporter affidavit
Cost-effective alternative to notary
The opinion describes ProofSnap as "a suitable and economical alternative" to notarial fact certification of website state. Court-reporter affidavits and notarial deeds (US$200-500, about ₹19,000-48,000; UK £200-800) require waiting time during which content can disappear; ProofSnap captures immediately with cryptographic integrity.
eIDAS Art. 41(2) · Regulation (EU) 910/2014
Statutory presumption of accuracy
The qualified eIDAS timestamp issued by Disig a.s., a Qualified Trust Service Provider on the EU Trusted List, carries the statutory presumption of accuracy of date, time and data integrity, shifting the burden of disproof to the opposing party across all 27 EU member states.
“The outputs of the ProofSnap service are, from the perspective of Czech procedural law and the EU legal framework, generally usable as means of evidence in any type of proceedings.”
Conclusion of the legal opinion, SEDLAKOVA LEGAL s.r.o., 21 April 2026
The opinion is publicly accessible, no registration. The conclusions express the legal view of the author and do not constitute binding legal advice.
The burden of proof, reversed inside the EU
ProofSnap's eIDAS qualified timestamps shift the legal burden. Under EU Regulation 910/2014, Article 41, your evidence is legally presumed accurate, and the opposing party must prove otherwise. This presumption operates in the 27 EU member states. It has no effect before an Indian court, where what counts is the section 63 certificate and the hash value it states.
With ProofSnap eIDAS timestamp
- Opponent must prove your evidence is fake
- Legal presumption of accuracy (eIDAS Art. 41)
- Automatically recognised in all 27 EU member states
- No expert witness needed to explain the technology
- Dual timestamp: eIDAS qualified + Bitcoin blockchain
Regular screenshot or blockchain-only
- You must prove your evidence is real
- No legal presumption, judge decides case by case
- Court recognition varies by country
- May need expert witness to explain blockchain
- Deepfake objection can invalidate entire evidence

The statute names the artefact
India names the artefact. Section 63 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023, in force since 1 July 2024, allows an electronic record to be admitted without producing the original device, but only with a certificate. That certificate is completed in two parts, by the person in lawful control of the device and by an expert, and it must state the hash value of the record. Courts have treated the hash as an electronic fingerprint for testing whether a file has been altered. A capture generates that hash when the page is preserved rather than reconstructing it later. The certificate is still signed by people, and nothing here is legal advice.
Section 63 BSA, the certificate
Section 63 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023 came into force on 1 July 2024 and replaced section 65B of the Evidence Act. An electronic record is admissible without producing the original device only when a certificate accompanies it, and under section 63(4)(c) that certificate must state the hash value of the record. No other jurisdiction we publish for names the artefact this directly.
Two signatures, one hash
The certificate is completed in two parts. Part A is signed by the person in lawful control of the device, Part B by an expert who certifies the technical particulars. ProofSnap signs neither: it supplies the hash, the URL, the capture time in UTC and the technical detail that Part B describes.
Most disputes never reach a court
The consumer commissions and the grievance officers decide the volume, and both work from evidence filed in advance. Neither applies the rules of evidence strictly, and both still weigh how reliable a record looks.
Deadlines are short and unforgiving
Two years to file a consumer complaint. Three working days to keep zero liability on an unauthorised bank transaction. Fifteen days for a grievance officer to decide. None of them waits while you look for a copy of a deleted page.
What a capture does and does not do: it fixes the content, the address and the time, and it produces the hash the certificate has to state. It does not make a record admissible by itself, it does not sign the certificate, and eIDAS carries no presumption before an Indian court.
Prices are charged in USD. The approximate rupee figure shown under each price is for orientation only, converted at about ₹96 to US$1. Your card issuer sets the actual rate on the day. The 7-day trial requires a payment card and you are not charged if you cancel before it ends.
Paying from India: two things worth knowing
Billing is in USD through Stripe. Cards issued in India work, but recurring international charges follow the Reserve Bank of India e-mandate framework, and that trips some cards up.
1. Recurring charges need an e-mandate. Under the RBI framework, a recurring card transaction can be processed without additional factor authentication up to ₹15,000 per transaction. A monthly plan at $8.99 (about ₹860) sits well inside that. Some issuers still decline mandates denominated in a foreign currency, and older cards outside the framework are being phased out, so a declined subscription is usually the issuer rather than the checkout.
2. If the mandate fails, use a SnapPack. A SnapPack at $4.99 (about ₹480) is a single up-front charge with no subscription and no auto-renewal, so it clears as an ordinary international transaction. For one matter that is usually the right purchase anyway.
Rupee figures on this page are indicative only, converted at about ₹96 to US$1, and your card issuer sets the actual rate. Firms that need an invoice can email support@getproofsnap.com.

Frequently Asked Questions
ProofSnap is a Chrome and Edge extension that captures web pages as legal evidence with blockchain timestamping, ensuring the authenticity and integrity of digital evidence.
ProofSnap uses OpenTimestamps to anchor an SHA-256 hash of your evidence to the Bitcoin blockchain, creating a cryptographic proof of when the capture was made. This timestamp is independently verifiable and cannot be backdated or tampered with, providing irrefutable proof that your evidence existed at a specific point in time.
ProofSnap includes a 7-day free trial with all plans. The trial requires a credit card, and you are not charged if you cancel before it ends. Choose from flexible monthly or annual subscriptions: Essential ($8.99/month (about ₹860) or $80/year (about ₹7,650)), Professional ($16.99/month (about ₹1,625) or $160/year (about ₹15,300)), or Enterprise ($28.99/month (about ₹2,775) or $280/year (about ₹26,800)). Annual plans save 20%.
ProofSnap generates forensically sound evidence with cryptographic
proofs aligned with eIDAS 2 standards for qualified timestamps and digital signatures. Admissibility depends on jurisdiction and specific legal
requirements. Consult with legal professionals for specific cases.
Regular screenshots can be challenged in court because they carry no proof of when they were taken or whether they have been altered. In India the framework is unusually specific. Since 1 July 2024, section 63 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023 has replaced section 65B of the Evidence Act: an electronic record is admissible without producing the original device, but only with a certificate, and that certificate is signed in two parts, by the person in lawful control of the device and by an expert, and it must state the hash value of the record. Courts have described that hash as an electronic fingerprint for testing whether a file has been altered.
ProofSnap addresses this by creating a forensic evidence package containing an SHA-256 hash proving the content has not been modified, an RSA-4096 digital signature for authenticity, a Bitcoin blockchain anchor and full metadata including the URL and the capture time in UTC. The hash is generated when the page is captured rather than reconstructed later, which is the difference between a certificate that describes the record and one that describes what survived being forwarded. ProofSnap does not sign the certificate: Part A and Part B are signed by people, and nothing here is legal advice.
ProofSnap uses three layers of cryptographic protection:
- SHA-256 Hashing: Every file in the evidence package is hashed. Changing even a single pixel or character produces a completely different hash, making any tampering immediately detectable.
- Digital Signature: The manifest (listing all files and their hashes) is digitally signed with a private key. The corresponding public key is included for anyone to verify authenticity.
- Blockchain Timestamp: The manifest hash is anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain via OpenTimestamps, creating an immutable record of when the evidence was captured. This timestamp cannot be forged or backdated.
Together, these mechanisms create a chain of integrity that proves the evidence is authentic, unaltered, and was captured at a specific point in time.
The eIDAS 2 regulation (EU 2024/1183) is fully rolling out by the end of 2026, establishing stricter standards for electronic identification, digital signatures, and qualified electronic timestamps across all EU member states.
Under Article 41, qualified electronic timestamps enjoy a legal presumption of accuracy for the date and time they indicate, and the integrity of the data to which the timestamp is linked. This means evidence timestamped with a qualified service is admissible across all EU courts.
ProofSnap's cryptographic proofs align with eIDAS 2 requirements: SHA-256 hashing for data integrity, RSA-4096 digital signatures for authenticity, and blockchain timestamps via OpenTimestamps for independent time verification. This makes ProofSnap evidence packages suitable for legal proceedings in any EU jurisdiction.
