the assessee has gone outside india. i have filed his return but am unable to verify it because if lack of information. and i am unable to contact the assessee. we have claimed a refund and as he was not available i gave my bank account no. in the return. now how do i e-verify his return?should i do it through my bank atm or net banking or is there any other way out. i am unable to contact him. so whatever it is, I have to do it myself. what should i do to verify his return??

how long you are expecting your client to be in the state of NON CONTACTIBLE? 120 days time is there for verification..... (You also revise the return at the first opportunity.... you are carrying a GREAT risk in giving your account number)

you have to revise tax return , you can not give your account number in place of assassee, If EVC verification not possible send the hard copy you have time 120 Days.

No the assessee wont be returning within 120 days. Ok i shall revise the return and send the hard copy but who will sign the hard copy. The assessee is not in India

I also wanted to know what are the consequences of giving my account numbr. It was a genuine emergency. I did not have the account no. of the assessee so I was bound to give my no. I did not have any other option. Did i?

Giving wrong Account number is NOT correct. It might take any shape;depending upon the person sitting in the chair.... If assessee can NOT be contacted....better stay aloof....It is primarily the responsibility of the assessee to file the return... Let him face the music......
