19 November 2009 Murtaza,

The process of E-filling has been changed, reply to your questions on pointwise:
1. It is optional to submit the income tax return with digital signature. If you have submitted the same with digital signature then there is no need to submit the ackn. to income tax department.
There are certain agencies who offers the digital signatures. You may get the list from google.com
2. Now for submitting the ackn. to income tax department the process changed. Earlier we used to submit the one copy of the signed ackn. to nearest income tax office. Now we need to post the same to â€œIncome Tax Department â€“ CPC, Post Bag No - 1, Electronic City Post Office, Bangalore - 560100, Karnataka, â€ BY ORDINARY POST ONLY with 30 days from the date of e-fillings.

I hope your all doubts are cleared.

19 November 2009 If an individual is not an authorized signatory (eg:- bank/financial institution officer) or director of company or a practising professional (eg :-CA/CS/ICWA) digital signature is not mandatory. Cost varies from Rs.1000/- and up depending on the tenure and issuing agency.

ITR V ,if not digitally signed, should necessarily be send to Bangalore. No need to file a copy before the jurisdictional ITO.

20 November 2009 As per Income Tax Act, only E-filing is mandatory in case of Companies ( Regd under ROC) and firms under Audit u/s 44AB and in rest of all, either manual filing or e-filing . And all the e-filing can be with or without digital signature which is not mandatory in any case. Hence in your case u can file ur return electronically either with digital signature or without it. It without digital signature, then ITR-V to be sent within 30 days of filing to Bangalore address as mentioned by Chetan Soni . The Bangalore office will send u an e-mail acknowledgeing the receipt of Form ITR-V which will be valid for every purpose and no other stamp of IT Dept will be given to you on ITR-V acknowledgeing the same.
