Digital Signature: Do we need to get it separately?
by ahsan shaikh iqbal on Jul 07, 2008 04:16 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Does anyone have any idea about the Digital Signature bit. I thought we just needed to download the form and after filling it up, just upload it back to the site. My employer has provided us with a soft copy of our Form 16 and a Digital Signature as well. Does that count or do I need a new DS?

No. It does not help. You have to get a digital signature from authorized service providers (like TCS). However, it is an expensive proposition and the certificate has to be renewed annually. Best option would be to file your return electronically, print the electronic acknowledgment form and get it endorsed by the nearest IT office
