Employer's response to update request
Can the employer ignore this request, or should he comply? Are there any potential issues if the employer chooses to ignore it?

Document Submission and Employer Responsibility
Without documents, the employer is not bound to approve. On further communication, ask the employee to make a formal request with copies of documents. The employer cannot deny approval, but if anything wrong is seeded by the employee, then the burden would be on the heads of the employer as DSC verification is done by him. DSC verification is just like the attestation of documents by a gazetted officer who does not put a signature without documents.
