Visualizing a picture in the tabular

Question

For my thesis, I have to include my signature in the autorship page. I want to do that numerically (not hand-writing). I include the signature in the form of an image to my project and I want to put it in a tabular as follows:
  noindent NAME  
begin{tabular}{@{}p{.72in}p{3.0in}@{}}
    Signature: &  begin{figure}[H]
includegraphics[scale=0.4]{images/sig.png}
end{figure}
    
    &
    Date: & 13.04.2021
end{tabular}

The problem that the signaure will jump to the next line and not directly in front of the word "Signature". This is the output that I am getting:

I tried to change the floating [H] to [h], but it doesn't work.

As I commented, "Don't put a figure (floating) environment inside a tabular"
documentclass{article}
usepackage{graphicx}
begin{document}
noindent NAME  
begin{tabular}{@{}p{.72in}p{3.0in}@{}}
    Signature: &  includegraphics[height=30pt]{example-image}
    
    &
    Date: & 13.04.2021
end{tabular}
end{document}

You don't need a figure environment to include a figure/image. That might sound odd, but think of it - you're not using a table environment to include a tabular... so why do you necessarily need a figure environment to include an image? Just use % ... Signature: & includegraphics[scale=0.4]{images/sig.png} % ... You may have to adjust the vertical placement of sig.png relative to Signature:, but that's a minor issue. You can use raisebox{}{} for that.
