12 May 2012 E-filing is compulsory for firm only in case it is liable to audit u/s 44AB and even then it is not required to file its return using digital signatures. Only a company is mandatorily required to use digital signatures in e-returns.

12 May 2012 Only part of the answer given by CA Richi is correct.

If an assessee is liable to tax audit he shall file his return electronically.

DIGITAL SIGNATURE IS MANDATORY FOR ASSESSEES WHO ARE LIABLE TO TAX AUDIT, BE IT AN INDIVIDUAL, HUF, FIRM OR COMPANY.

Any person who is required to get his accounts audited has to file his return electronically and also digitally sign the same.
