You can file either by PFX file or with the DSC Token.
Whether you sign by PFX or DSC Token, it will be Class 2 DSC

For filing the audited e-return for AY 2013-14, here’s the clarity on DSC (Digital Signature Certificate):
Class 2 DSC is mandatory for filing tax returns, including audit reports.
Earlier, many used the PFX file format (software-based DSC), but from December 2013 onwards, the Income Tax Department mandated DSC on hardware tokens (i.e., USB token-based DSC) for certain filings, especially audit reports and other specified forms.
So for AY 2013-14 audit case filing, you should ideally use a Class 2 DSC issued on a hardware token (USB token), as per the latest ITD requirements effective from December 2013.
However, some forms might still accept PFX but it's safer and recommended to use DSC on a token to avoid rejection.
If you already have a Class 2 DSC in PFX format, check if the portal allows uploading it; else, get a USB token-based DSC issued by a licensed Certifying Authority.
