I want to know that if I file IT return of a assessee of one year online, then is it mandatory to file all subsequent years' IT returns of the same assessee online, or I can file return manually at IT office.

IT IS NOT AT ALL MANDATORY TO FILE IT RETURNS ONLINE IF IT IS DONE SO ONCE. YOU CAN FILE YOUR RETURNS BY ANY MODE IRRESPECTIVE OF THE MODE ADOPTED IN ANY OF THE PREVIOUS YEARS. BUT THIS IS ALSO SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE INCOME TAX ACT I.E., IF AS PER INCOME TAX THE ASSESSEE HAS TO FILE IT RETURN ONLINE ONLY THEN THE ASSESSEE CANNOT FILE THE RETURN MANUALLY.
