In my opinion, the answer should not be addressed to particular person. One can ask question due to the reason that everyone can participate in the debate, as in this question I know that MD or director can only sign the return of income in case of resident company u/s 140 of the Act, the question is asked for general use of the club members. Moreover, the original querist had asked whether the compay should get the DSC.
