Friends,
The Income Tax Department is planning to start e-signature which will be used while filing your income tax returns ONLINE of ITR 1, ITR2 and ITR4. After filing your income tax return online one have to send the ITR-V form duly signed to the Income Tax Department either by Digital Signatures or Manual Signatures. Now the Income Tax Department is planning to provide e-signature to the taxpayers who have filed their income tax return in ONLINE mode. It will not be available to first time e-filers. The Department has also sought response/suggestion/comments in this regard. The circular issued by the Income Tax Department is as under : -
FEEDBACK ON INTRODUCTION OF E-SIGNATURE
Income Tax Department proposes to introduce Electronic Signature for e-Filing of Income Tax Returns in addition to existing Digital Signature Certificate / ITR V. The e-signature shall be based on the validation of the taxpayer on the basis of the data available with the Income Tax department such as bank A/c number, CPC intimation number, valid TAN and the personal details of the taxpayer. This e-signature proposed to be given to the existing e-filers (will not be available to first time e-filers) in select categories of ITRs such as ITR 1, ITR 2 and ITR 4S. Your response/suggestion/comment on introduction of e-signature is sought in the email of efiling_schema_utility@incometaxindia.gov.in.
WISHING ALL OF YOU A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013.
