17 June 2014 in case of proprietorship concern...only tax audit applies...even that needs to be accepted by the auditee online before it is accepted by income-tax department as filed.

17 June 2014 if this was the case two years earlier, when there was no provision of uploading the audit report online, what would be the consequence of non approval/ signature by the auditee?
