To ease EPF compliance by employers, email mechanism to obtain e-sign introduced

In the present situation of lockdown, to control the spread of COVID-19 pandemic, the businesses can’t work ordinarily and are confronting issues in using their digital signatures or Aadhaar based e-sign on EPFO portal.

Numerous significant errands like KYC authentication, transfer claim attestation, and so on are being done online by the authorized people of bosses using their Digital Signatures (DSC) or Aadhar put together e-Signs with respect to EPFO portal. For utilizing DSC/e-Sign, one-time approval from Regional Offices is required. Because of lockdown, numerous businesses are confronting challenges to send one-time registration request to the Regional Offices.

To facilitate the compliance procedure, EPFO has chosen to acknowledge such demands through email too. Businesses can send the scanned copy of duly signed request letter to the concerned Regional Office through the mail. Official email addresses of the Regional Offices are accessible at http://www.epfindia.gov.in.

Further, such establishment, whose approved officials have affirmed digital signatures yet can’t find the dongle, can login to the employer portal and register their e-sign through the link for registration of effectively enrolled approved signatories. In the event that their name against the affirmed digital signature is the same as that in their Aadhar, the registration of e-sign won’t require any further approval. Other approved signatories can enroll their e-signs and send the request letter affirmed by the employers and look for approval of the concerned EPFO Offices.
