17 June 2016 Dear friends,
Whether there is specific requirement of AUTHORIZED SIGNATORY in taxation laws?? If the documents of company/firm are signed by an employee without written authority of director/partner and the documents/materials are seized by tax authorities, will the signing employee be prosecuted?? under what provisions??
