What is the difference between self-attestation and employer attestation?
▼
Self-attestation means the member signs the copy and writes "Self Attested". This is acceptable for KYC documents. Employer attestation requires the employer's signature and official stamp, needed for forms like Joint Declaration, transfer forms, etc.
Do I need to notarize every affidavit?
▼
Yes, any affidavit submitted to EPFO must be sworn before a notary public or oath commissioner. We help you get the affidavit properly notarized.
What happens if my document is not attested properly?
▼
Your EPF claim or application may be rejected. You'll have to re-submit with proper attestation, causing delays. We ensure your documents are attested correctly the first time.
Can I get employer attestation if my company is closed?
▼
If employer is defunct, we can help you file an application with EPFO for alternate arrangements, such as using Annexure K or filing a grievance to waive employer attestation.
Is digital signature considered as employer attestation?
▼
Yes, for online claims and forms, employer's digital signature (DSC) on the EPFO portal serves as attestation. We ensure your employer's DSC is properly registered and used for approvals.
