Why does my government PDF show a yellow question mark?

Indian government PDFs are digitally signed using certificates from NIC, eMudhra, or other CCA India licensed authorities. Adobe Acrobat and most PDF viewers don't include India's Root Certifying Authority (RCAI) in their default trusted certificate store. So even though the signature is completely valid and legally recognised under the Information Technology Act 2000, your PDF viewer shows a yellow question mark because it cannot automatically verify the issuer. Kagazo checks your PDF against the actual CCA India trust hierarchy and gives you a copy with a permanent green tick visible on any device.

Is my document safe? Do you store my PDF?

Your PDF is processed entirely in memory during verification. We never write your file to disk, never store it on our servers, and never share it with any third party. The file is deleted from memory immediately after verification is complete. You can also verify this by checking our open source backend code.

Which documents does Kagazo support?

Kagazo supports any PDF digitally signed under India's CCA certificate hierarchy. This includes e-Aadhaar, PAN card, DigiLocker documents, ITR-V, Form 16, and all state government certificates from Tamil Nadu e-District, AP and Telangana MeeSeva, Karnataka Nadakacheri and eJanma, Kerala Sevana portal, and more.

My Aadhaar PDF is password protected. Will it work?

Yes. Enter your Aadhaar password (first four letters of your name in capital letters followed by your birth year, for example RAMA1995) in the password field that appears after you upload your e-Aadhaar PDF. We decrypt it in memory, verify the signature, and return a verified copy.

What is the difference between "Signature Valid" and "Signature Unknown"?

Signature Valid means the document is genuinely issued by the government authority and has not been modified. Signature Unknown means your PDF viewer cannot verify the certificate chain — this is a viewer configuration issue, not a problem with your document. Signature Invalid means the document may have been tampered with or re-saved after signing.

Does this work on mobile?

Yes. Kagazo is fully mobile responsive and works on any Android or iOS browser. No app installation required. Simply open kagazo.in on your phone browser, upload your PDF and verify instantly.

Top 3 Reasons EPFO Rejects Bank Cheque Uploads

Follow these guidelines to ensure your online PF withdrawal claim is settled without delay.

1. Name Not Pre-Printed

If your cheque leaf does not have your name pre-printed by the bank, EPFO field officers reject the claim. Use the passbook front page instead.

2. Blurry IFSC Code

Extreme file compression causes the 11-digit IFSC code to blur. Kagazo’s clarity booster keeps letters and digits 100% legible.

3. File Size Exceeds 500 KB

Camera scans over 500 KB trigger an immediate upload error. Kagazo locks the final size safely between 380 KB and 480 KB.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about uploading bank proof for EPFO PF claims.

Why does the EPFO portal reject cancelled cheques with "Image Not Clear / Name Not Legible"?

Over 35% of EPFO online claim rejections occur because smartphone photos of cheques are compressed too aggressively, blurring the pre-printed account holder name, account number, or bank IFSC code. Kagazo applies an adaptive text-contrast filter that sharpens printed bank details while compressing the file safely below the 500 KB ceiling.

What is the exact file size limit for EPFO Member Portal claim uploads?

The EPFO Member e-Sewa portal (Form 19, 31, 10C) strictly mandates that the uploaded cancelled cheque or bank passbook front page must be in JPEG or JPG format and strictly less than or equal to 500 KB. Files larger than 500 KB cannot be submitted.

Does the cancelled cheque need to have my name pre-printed?

Yes. As per current EPFO guidelines, a cancelled cheque MUST have the member’s name, bank account number, and IFSC code pre-printed on the cheque leaf. If your cheque book does not have your name pre-printed, submit the front page of your bank passbook with bank stamp/signature instead.

Can I upload a bank passbook front page instead of a cheque?

Yes. The EPFO portal accepts either a cancelled cheque leaf OR the first page of your bank passbook clearly showing the member name, account number, IFSC code, and branch address with official bank attestation.

Are my private banking documents uploaded to your servers?

No. Your financial documents never leave your browser. All contrast enhancements and JPEG compression execute 100% locally in your device’s volatile RAM. Zero bytes are stored or uploaded.
