Are hand corrections in documents allowed?!!

[RISHIFERRARI20]

I have two documents that have hand corrections on them:
1. PoF letter from my bank. The person who typed the letter missed out typing the pincode at the end of my otherwise perfect address. They have later written the pincode in by hand (in blue ink) and put a round seal next to this correction/addition. No signature or date for this change.
2. Reference letter from my old employer. The word 'to' was left out in a sentence ("... he is an asset any company") and then included by hand in blue ink between 'asset' and 'any'. No seal or signature and date for this minor correction.

How serious are these hand-corrections? Can this lead to rejection of those letters or unnecessary delay due to extra scrutiny? I can probably wait and apply for a fresh letter from my bank, but my old employer is not responding. It's really frustrating waiting for them to resend a new letter for a small typo. Any advice?

Hand corrections are not advisable. If possible procure new documents with all the mistakes rectified.

It raises suspicion and red flags. Most probably it will be termed fraudulent. So I would advise you to not take that route. Good luck.
