Query regarding digital signature

MCA 755 views 3 replies

Hello,

I have the folowing queries regarding digital signature:

1) Is a digital kit in any way superior or is of more utility than a .pfx file? .pfx file is cheaper to make and easier to install on the computer. Hence I prefer the same. But is there something in MCA or Income Tax that can be done only by using the kit? I haven't found anthing such though.

2) Can digital signature now be made or renewed for 2 years?

3) Take a case where ABC and co. have audited a pvt ltd company's accounts. Now, can XYZ and co. certify their forms like 23AC, 23ACA and 20B? These forms are for filing B/s, P/L and Annual Return with the Registrar.

Form 20B, 23AC, 23ACA can be certified by any CA/CS/CWA with COP as per existing Rules.

Regards,

digital signature can be obtained or renewed for 1 year only at present.....others view solicited

Reply to your queries are as under:

1. There is no difference between the Digital Signature kit & the pfx file. There is no documents as such which can be signed only by using the kit.

2. At present Digital Signature can be made only for 1 year

3. Form 23AC, 23ACA and 20B can be digitally certified by any Practising CA/CS/CWA irrespective of the person completing its audit
