A return is to be filed before the Assessing officer. It may even be sent by post or filed electronically. Nowadays returns are also being received at designated post offices.
Companies and firms are compulsorily required to file their return electronically, while for others it is still optional. For electronic filing of return one need to log on to the Departmental website http://www.incometaxindia.gov.in/ and upload the information of income and taxes in the prescribed form. If the tax payer has a digital signature, the same can be affixed and there would be no need to file a paper return. In case where there is no digital signature, the person will be required to file a paper return quoting the provisional acknowledgement number received on completion of uploading.
