06 September 2010 In case of above the same will be considered as a defective return u/s 139(9) and an opportunity will be given by the A. O. to the assessee to rectify the defect within 15 days.

06 September 2010 The defect of not signing a return cannot be set right as Adity Ji said since that defect is not covered in the explantion to section 139(9)of the Income tax Act,1961. Courts have repeatedly said that a return which is not signed and verified will be an invalid return as distinguished from an incomplete return. One such decision is in CIT V Harjinder Kaur (2009) 310 ITR 71 (P & H).
