23 February 2012 If you mention that the assessee is laible to audit in the Income Tax return, then you will not be able to upload the return without a digital signature.

23 February 2012 A assessee who has to get his books of accounts audited u/s 44AB shall compulsorily be required to file a return online and the return needs to be mandatorily digitally signed effective 01.07.2011 i.e for AY 2011-12. There are no options to the same.
