Assessee is an individual/firm, but covered under sec 44AB,

Is Digital signature mandatory in order to file return online ?

My view only company whether covered under 44AB or not at the time of e file DS is mandory

Please suggest me is it correct or not ?

Hi Pradeep, Now ITR e Filing with digital signature is mandatory for Individual,HUF and Firms also to whom Audit provision u/s 44AB is applicable.Income tax department has issued a notification 37/2011 dated 01.07.2011in this regard. After issuance of Notification Individual / Hindu undivided family assessees (covered under audit section 44AB)have to file ITR-4 and Firms (covered under audit section 44AB) have to file ITR-5 with digital signature.Companies are already directed to file returns through digital signature only. Thanks and regards Suraj pahuja.
