Submission of partnership deed

This discussion clarifies that a certified copy of the partnership deed is generally not required when filing a partnership firm's first income tax return, as no attachments are allowed. While not typically requested, it can be provided if queried later. For unregistered firms, e-filing is mandatory, but using a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is not always required, especially if Aadhar OTP validation has been used previously. However, the profile page may still indicate DSC as a requirement.
