It is quite likely that to get registered as a level-1 Certifying
Authority you need to be a large government or corporate body with
some kind of permanence. The official who supervises the IT operations
in such a large organisation is very unlikely to be clueful about
FOSS (in general). So it is possible that these level-1 CA's in India
are not particularly FOSS friendly.

So perhaps one needs to start low and get (by using Windows if
necessary!) registered as a level-2 or level-3 Certifying Authority.
Then, by providing certificates to other businesses using a FOSS-based
system way one can get a toe-hold and build a case for getting a
higher level certification. This way FOSS business-es would
eventually have an alternative to avoid using Windows to get
digital certificates.

Regards,

Kapil.
