The process of electronically filing Income tax returns
through the internet is known as e-filing.
It is mandatory for companies and Firms requiring statutory
audit u/s 44AB to submit the Income tax returns electronically
for AY 2007-08 onwards.
E-filing is possible with or without digital signature.
(2) Types of E-Filing
There are three ways to file returns electronically.
Option 1: Use digital signature, in which case no further
action is required.
Option 2: File without digital signature, in which case the duly signed
ITR-V
form is to be submitted to CPC Bengaluru using Ordinary Post or Speed Post within 120 days of transmitting
the data electronically. This completes the Return filing process for non-digitally signed
returns.
Option 3: File through an e-return intermediary who would do
eFiling and also assist the Assessee file the
ITR -V
Form.
