Validity of Self Attested Documents
It is a constant endeavour of the Government to simplify procedures by introduction of self-certification.For
this, all Central Ministries / Departments as well as State Government /
UTs have been requested to review the existing requirement in this
regard and make provision for self-certification, wherever possible.
Response from 25 States / UTs has been received indicating action
takenby them.Different organizations prescribe different criteria for
attestation, subject tostatutory and legal provisions. As per its
mandate, Department of Administrative Reforms & Public Grievances
has been requesting them to adopt self-certification, wherever possible,
as a measure of administrative reform.
This was stated by the
Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions and
Minister of State in Prime Minister’s office Dr. Jitendra Singh in a
