Dear as I said, the document should establish link between you and employer. That is the propose of this requirement what I sense. Otherwise, a joining letter, a pay slip, a reference letter shouldn't suffice? No, they don't.Can I open a pf account right now since my employer doesn't provide pf for me ? Or can I produce a notarized document?
PF account created by you will not link you to your employer. PF account created by employer can only link you and employer because the employer will be crediting some fund to this account and some to pension-account.
Others in groups please correct me if I am wrong, I am not an expert but an applicant like you and wish to help with what I know and how I understand the requirements.
Thanks
