Good evening, guys. I have a query regarding the EPF new site. Since our Authorized Signatory has changed since Nov 16, it's not getting approved on the EPF Portal despite submitting all documents. We also contacted the EPF Commissioner, but they mentioned that they have approved DS from their side, but due to the new upgrade, they are unable to do anything from their end. Now, my senior-level bosses are facing issues with their transfer from the previous organization. Can anyone suggest what I can do?

The query is not clear.
DSC registration is a different issue, and transfer is another. Online transfer through Form 13 is suspended, and there is no role of DSC-based authorization. DSC service is now limited to the authorization of KYC documents of employees.
To file a transfer claim, the only option available is to file a manual Form 13 duly attested by any or both employers.

That's the issue, Mr. Sharma. We have submitted the transfer form to our EPF office, but since our authorized signatory changed in Nov 16, the PF authority rejects the claim, citing that the authorized signatory is not valid. Additionally, for the withdrawal process, they state that we need to update their KYC before the withdrawal can be processed. However, since we do not have a registered signatory.
I hope this helps clarify the situation. Let me know if you need further assistance or information.

To get the authorized signatory change effect, you have to file Form 5A on the portal. DSC has no issue with the authorized signatory at the top. You mentioned, "transfer" and transfer can be executed by physical submission of Form 13 (revised).
In case no KYC is seeded, then they can submit non-Aadhaar based withdrawal forms (composite form) but the forms should be annexed with KYC documents, duly attested by the employer. The authorized signatory is based on Form 5A basis, not on DSC. DSC can be of a manager, CEO, or even HR, so the DSC cannot be an issue anywhere.
The DSC application is pending because the Form 5A is not submitted through the changed unified portal. Please execute the same, and it will get approved.
