Why is a DSC Needed for the EPFO Portal?

Employers and their authorized signatories are required to use a Digital Signature Certificate for various activities on the EPFO's Unified Portal. This includes online submission of PF returns, KYC attestation of employees, approval of PF transfer claims, and other employer-related services.

Using a DSC ensures the authenticity of the submissions and helps in maintaining a secure and paperless environment for EPF compliance. It is typically a Class 3 Individual Signing DSC that is registered on the portal by the employer.
