The processors of Digital signatures are very slow and in many cases they are not fully aware of use of forms and I fee it may not be possible for them to process and issue digital signature facility, hence the I am of the opinion that CBDT shall think over implementing the digital system for the next assessment year 2012-13, otherwise many may not be able to file returns in time or in the alternative the time may be extended for filing return of income, subject to obtaining the report u/s.44AB of the IT Act in time and taxes are paid as per returned income before 30-09-2011,( without payment of any interest u/s 234A or 234B of the Act.
