Before joining any organization, submission of photocopies is mandatory. However, I am concerned that when submitting Xerox copies, I may accidentally submit forged documents to the employer. If I can submit only soft copies and inform the employer that they can request Xerox copies if needed, then submitting Xerox copies would not be my responsibility. Would this approach be acceptable? I want to avoid unnecessary stress as I have faced difficulties in the past due to similar situations. Your suggestions would be appreciated.

Employers have to ask employees to submit self-attested xerox copies along with the department forms for ESIC, EPF, and other welfare schemes. If the employer denies or neglects this request, the employer cannot submit the contributions of employees without KYC verification.

Dear DTROCKS,

Please note that there is no logic and genuine ground for your stand taken that you only want to provide soft copies, not xerox copies, of all documents in support of your eligibility for the position. If you do not comply, how will you be allowed to report your joining? As long as one does not comply with the XYZ requirement and does not report with documents/supporting as a compliant person, there is only a chance that the person cannot justify being fit for employment. Why make a simple thing complicated and then run for a solution? An organization is looking to hire a responsible, disciplined, mature, and compliant person who would bring in better work practices, a wonderful feeling of peace, and serenity to always make better joints.

Such things should not be asked in a forum like CiteHR. Members here are to share and express themselves openly to seek knowledge from experiences and successes to practice and execute in their routine.

Do you mean you have forged document & are afraid that you will submit it by oversight? There is no harm if you submit self-starter copies.

I am not clear. You are willing to submit a forged soft copy but not a forged xerox. The logic you are giving is that giving a forged xerox copy is a criminal offense. Let me enlighten you. Providing a forged soft copy is an equal offense, and you can end up in jail just the same way. Under the Information Technology Act of 2000, a soft copy is equivalent to a physical copy. They can trace your submission and prove that you have the forged copies.

Please explain to me how a forged xerox copy will come into the picture and get submitted. Why do you have a forged copy in the first place ?
