Who signs and verifies Form 35
Updated . Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.
Facts
Form 35 is signed and verified by the person who is authorised to sign your income tax return. Individuals usually verify with EVC or a digital signature.
Provisions and law
- Sec 249, Income-tax Act 1961Appeal in Form 35 within 30 days of service of the demand or order, with the fee; delay can be condoned for sufficient cause; tax on returned income must be paid first (2025 Act number to be confirmed).
Analysis
For an individual, you verify yourself; for a company, the managing director or a director; for an HUF, the karta. A CA can prepare and file as authorised representative but verification remains with the authorised person. Do not leave the form unverified, as it is not treated as filed.
Conclusion
- Confirm who is authorised to sign your return.
- Set up EVC or DSC for that person.
- Verify Form 35 after filling it.
- Download the acknowledgement.
