Hello canikhil,
I need to file a blank statement as well. I'll appreciate if you can confirm that following steps are to be followed:
(I am an indiviudual trading in F&O, having to file audited accounts under 44AB)
1) Create a new ITDREIN after logging into
https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/ and add yourself as Designated Director. Activate newly created ITDREIN as well.
2) File preliminary STF response with STF-013 as "No" and all other as "Not Applicable"
3) Download "Report generation utility" for Form 61A from incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in-> Forms(Other than ITRs)
4) generate XML from above utility by selecting STF-013 from "Instructions" and Filling Statement(Part A) only with ITDREIN from Step 1 above and Statement Type "No Data" and Reporting period ending on 31March 2017
5) download DSC management utility from incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in->DSC management Utility.
6) Create new signature file from tab Submit ITR/Form online with User id as ITDREIN and your PAN.
7) Login to incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in with ITDREIN and select zip file of xml generated from step 4 and signature file of step 6.
If all goes well, the return should be filed successfully.
I also request you to guide me with the following two queries:
Query A : I am getting error in step 7 above that "Please select valid signature file". I have tried to generate signature file with user id as both PAN and ITDREIN in Submit ITR/FORM Online
Query B : I will also filing separate return for my HUF from this year. Do I need a separate Digital signature token for HUF PAN or token registerd with my PAN will do for filing return of HUF.
Thanks.
