DEAR PRADEEP,
DIGITAL SIGNATURES ARE COMPULSORY FOR-
1. COMPANY
2. INDIVIDUAL, HUF, FIRM WHO ARE REQUIRED TO GET THEIR ACCOUNTS AUDITED U/S 44 AB.
BUT E FILING OF RETURN IS COMPULSORY FOR COMPANY AND FIRMS WHO R COVERED U/S 44 AB.
IN CASE OTHER THAN AUDIT NO DIGITAL SIGNATURES ARE MANDATORY.
AND U CAN FILE ANY KIND OF RETURN ONLINE WHETHER THERE IS ANY TAX LIABILITY OR NOT.
