09 July 2011 Filing of Return does'nt require any authorisation

As far as Signing (Verification) of Return is concerned, then only a person himself can sign his return of income.
The Only Exception is Section 160 - Representative assessee
Section 160 provides for signing and filing the return by person other than the real assessee, this section is applicable only in special cases ,, ie..
income of non resident
income of minor child
income with court of wards
income recd by trustee and
in case of agent u/s 163
