Common EPFO (EO / AO / APFC) Signature Upload Errors
"File size exceeds 200KB"
The UPSC portal blocks uploads above 200KB. Our compressor automatically reduces to 20–200KB.
"Signature not in black ink"
Many applicants sign in blue or pencil. UPSC explicitly requires black ink on plain white paper.
"Signature scanned on lined/ruled paper"
Use blank white paper. Notebook lines in the scan are a common rejection reason across government exam portals.
