Quick Summary

This discussion addresses the challenges of filing a tax audit report for a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) who was a resident during the financial year but is now abroad. The primary concern is how to digitally sign the report when the NRI lacks an authorised representative in India. Options explored include using the NRI's DSC via Aadhar OTP and courier, and whether family members can use the client's DSC with email approval.

Tax audit of NRI person for 2022-23 he was Resident in 2022-23.

Now he is at Norway and Tax audit to be file in this month, no authorirised representative is there in India as of now.

Is Option I ok?
Can NRI person apply for DSC through Aadhar OTP, courier the token at Norway
and Sign the Tax audit report?
also audited financial copy can we put Digital sign on the same?

Option 2
or we can take approval on email for TAX audit report and sign by us?
