Hi
I filled the joint application for DOb correction with my last employer with their sign and stamp. I self attested my Aadhar and Class 10 Certificate as supporting documents and physically submitted it and got acknowledgement from Wazirpur EPFO. It’s been six months. Today the extremely rude employee at epfo office gave me 3 bundles of about 100 files and asked me to take out my file. It wasn’t there so she said you must not have attested your class 10 and Aadhar from your employer so go and get it done. She said I will not accept and help you if all your supporting documents are not stamped by your employer. Sadly the Central Zone PRO told me forget PMO circular about self attested supporting documents. Do what she wants and don’t argue about rules. Sick and unhelpful attitude!!
Sad to hear your story.
That’s what happens in Govt office.
Best of luck
