New SSC Portal Rules: What Candidates Must Know
Under the updated SSC portal guidelines, while primary headshots are often captured via webcam during registration, signatures must still be scanned, cropped, and uploaded manually.
Over 40,000 applications are rejected every year due to blurred, inverted, or oversized signatures.
PixEnhance ensures your signature has maximum contrast, sharp edges, and a guaranteed file size between 12KB and 18KB.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I upload a signature in blue ink for SSC?
Blue ink is acceptable, but black ink on clean white paper has significantly higher contrast and minimizes risk of optical scanner rejection.
