As per EPFO circular dated 6th October 2017, EPFO has now introduced the free Aadhaar-based e-Sign in addition to DSC to be used by Employers. It is very easy to use in comparison to DSC. Authorized signatory of establishments whose DSC is already registered can directly activate their e-Sign by providing Aadhaar at Unified Portal. Authorized signatory whose DSC is not available at Unified Portal can register their eSign at Unified Portal and get it approved from the concerned EPFO field office. Once the authorized signatory is registered for e-Sign, he/she can sign documents by getting an OTP on the mobile registered with Aadhaar. The user manual for registering e-Sign is attached herewith for your ready reference. It is requested to encourage the employers to avail of this facility. Furthermore, EPFO has urged the respective Branch offices to immediately approve the e-Sign registration requests received from employers.
