I was a partner of partnership firm which dissoluted last month. ITR for the firm or its partners was not filed for the financial year 2011-12. As part of dissolution we like to file all pending ITRs for the firm and partners and close the PAN of the firm. My accountant says each partner must have Digital Signatures to file ITRs. We do not come under any auditing. Is it mandatory to have digital signatures to file ITR. Is there any rule or so. Is the accountant asking for a unnecessary thing.

It is the practice of certain CAs to take DSCs of all the assessees. . You can file the returns of the firm as well as partners without Digital Signatures.
