Is it necessary that documents that are to be attached to the forms in 23B 23 AC & ACA and 20B should be first signed and then scanned and uploaded or we can directly convert the word files into pdf and in place of signatures we can write -sd- and then attach and upload the forms. please guide me which is the correct way.

Mode to reflect the signature of documents in case of conversion of documents in PDF mode attachments There is a concern that the signatures of the Managing Director/Director/Auditor at the end of the Balance Sheet cannot be captured in a converted PDF document whereas this would be available in the scanned attachments. It is therefore suggested to simply use the acronym, “Sd/-“ above the name and designation of the authorized signatory and mention the date on which the physical documents have been signed by these persons to look like: Sd/- Managing Director Date:
Sd/- Director Date:
Sd/- Auditor Date:
Since the e-Forms would be digitally signed and the attachments would be bound by the security of DSC, these attachments would be acceptable in this form. Alternatively, if they use their scanned form of attachments, they should ensure that the document size is within 2.5 MB limits.
