Lost PF, PT, and ESI Documents in Chennai Floods: How Can I Get Duplicates?

Lost PF, PT, ESI registration documents in the recent floods in Chennai. How do we get the duplicates?

Hi Buddy,

Please contact the regional office. They will provide you with a duplicate copy of the same by collecting some fee.

With Regards,
Mr. Thumbs Up

Sir, copies of the documents can also be obtained from concerned departments by filing applications under the RTI Act, 2005.

RTI to get duplicate copies of certificates? Have you even read the RTI Act to understand what it is for and how it works?

Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

Dear Mr. Saswata Banerjee Ji,

I would like to request you to clarify whether your comments, as follows, "RTI to get duplicate copies of certificates? Have you even read the RTI act to understand what it is for and how it works?" are directed towards me. Do your remarks imply that you are inquiring whether I have read and understood the RTI?

Thank you.

We are unnecessarily taking the discussion to personal debating. If the RTI Act has nothing to do with the issuing of duplicate certificates, yes, you can categorically say that it is not meant for that. However, statements like "have you read the Act" may be avoided, and we should stop the discussion here itself. The thread starter has already received the answer, i.e., to apply for a duplicate, which is a simple process, especially when the original is lost in a natural calamity, a situation known to everyone.

Members should show dissent by stating facts and pointing to valid documents instead of questioning the intellect of others. Let's keep this mature and polite.

My apologies. The problem is that people put suggestions that are incorrect, and then some poor fellow reading the thread goes on a wrong path, causing more grief for himself. But you are right, my wording should have been to the point and not personal.
