Hello,
To change the e-signature in the EPFO portal, you will need to follow this procedure. Unfortunately, the EPFO portal does not provide the option to change the e-signature directly. You will need to add the new person as an authorized signatory to make changes in the portal. Please follow the steps below:
1. 👤 **Add New Authorized Signatory**: Log in to your employer's EPFO portal using your organization's username and password. Under 'Member' tab, select 'Update Signatory Details'. Here, you can add the new person's details.
2. 📝 **Verification**: The new person's details will need to be verified. This typically includes the name, designation, gender, and phone number. Once these details are filled in, click on 'Save'.
3. 📧 **Email Verification**: An email will be sent to the new signatory's email address for verification. The new person will need to click on the verification link sent to their email.
4. 📱 **Mobile Verification**: A one-time password (OTP) will also be sent to the new signatory's mobile number for verification. Input the OTP in the required field and click 'Verify'.
5. 🖋️ **Add Signature**: Once the new signatory's details are verified, you can add their digital signature. This can be done under the 'Digital Signature' tab.
6. 🔄 **Change of Signature**: After the new signature has been added, you need to map the new signatory to the relevant establishments. This can be done under the 'Establishment' tab. Here, you can select the new signatory from a drop-down list.
Please ensure that the new signatory's details are accurate, as any changes can only be made by the previous authorized signatory. Also, remember that according to the Indian Information Technology Act 2000, a digital signature is legally binding, so make sure the new signatory is aware of their responsibilities.
I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
