Hi Everyone,

One of my client has his accounts audited and is required to file return online by digitally signing the same.

The Digital Signature has been successfully registered at the site.

When I am uploading the xml file and signing the same with the pfx file the same is showing

an error message Cannot read the file for signing C:\fakepath\ITR_PANCARDNO.XML

This is causing a serious problem at my end.

I am following with the department but have not found any resolution.

would be really helpful if anyone could help in this regard.

Regards,

Mahesh Singhal

Hi Srinivas,

The problem is not due to Java in my case.

I would not allow to register the digital Signature if java is not installed in your computer.

I have an updated java version and the problem si coming when i am signing the same.

The error says cannot read fake file by showing some other location.

Dear All,

There is no problem with the digital signature. Even I faced the same problem earlier. The problem is due to restrictions there in the internet settings. You just have to enable them. Which restrictions you have to enable, please type FAKEPATH- income tax return in the search option of CAClubindia. You will get the solution.

Best Wishes,
