68 Mandatory digitally signed e-return for companies —
Notification No. 49/2010, dated 9-7-2010.

The CBDT vide Income-tax (Seventh Amendment) Rules, 2010 has
amended Rule 12 which prescribes the manner of filing the income-tax return for
A.Y. 2010-2011. It is now provided that companies need to file their income-tax
e-return digitally signed and hence the process of filing an e-return without
digital signature and sending the acknow-ledgement in Form ITR V has been done
away with. Further individuals and HUFs liable to tax audit u/s.44AB of the Act
are now mandatorily required to need to file the returns electronically with or
without digital signature. The Rule does not change for the firms subjected to
tax audit.
