Recently many users who tried to register their Digital Signatures (DSC) in the GST portal got the error message which states “Failed to Establish Connection to the Server. Kindly Restart the Emsigner”. But even restarting emsigner several times, the problem persists. Earlier, when the emsigner was using the port “1645” the problem was solved by some technicals experts, but now the new version of emsigner is using the port “1585”, thus raising the same problem again.
After many tries, I successfully registered my Digital Signature in the GST portal and even successfully submitted the registration application for GST. You can follow the steps mentioned below if you are also getting “Failed to Establish Connection to the Server. Kindly Restart the Emsigner” error.
