Tax Audit acceptance without DSC

Does anyone know if it's possible in this new ITR portal to accept tax audit report uploaded by the auditor without DSC?

This is for an individual and it is strange that everything else is possible without DSC but I could not find a way to accept the Tax Audit.

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the challenges of accepting a tax audit report on the new ITR portal without a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC). Users are finding it impossible to proceed without a DSC, despite other functions not requiring one. Some have resorted to clients obtaining DSCs, while others are seeking alternative solutions like a Power of Attorney (PoA) to use someone else's DSC, though this hasn't been confirmed as a viable option.

There no way for it. One has to make a dsc to accept tax audit report. I also faced the same issue today at work and we asked our client to make a dsc for the same.
I have tried to accept the audit report with dsc....but it is not getting approved....if anyone faces the same issue...plz let me know...how this issue will be resolved

Thanks. It makes no sense that they insist on a DSC for just this one thing. All the paperwork and money for 5 seconds work in a year!

Someone suggested a PoA and then using that person's DSC. Has anyone tried this?
