In the EPFO grievance portal, I'm unable to attach the supporting PDF document. It says there is an error while attaching the document but doesn't specify what the error is. I'm using the latest version of Mozilla Firefox browser as specified, and I have also tried with Chrome, but the issue remains the same. Please suggest how to proceed.

(Fact Checked)-The issue could be due to the file size or format. Try reducing file size or converting to a different format. Check the EPFO guidelines for attachments. (1 Acknowledge point)

I am facing the same issue. My EPFO office, when I was employed in a company, is zoned in the KR PURAM EPFO office. On calling the KR PURAM SSA contact number ([Phone Number Removed For Privacy-Reasons]), I found that the documents we are trying to upload would be needed by the EPFO Commissioner in physical form. Instead of solving the technical issues, there is too much bureaucracy, as expected at EPFO.
To add more to the irony, the person who attended the call dropped the phone immediately when I was asking for details of what should be enclosed in the physical document proofs of my employment, cover letter, grievance, transfer claim, and everything related to it.
I seriously don't understand, are we ruled by some babus, or is this a free world?

Please rename the file to only alphabet, no additional space, Numerics, special characters should be there. This worked for me.

EPFO Grievance Portal - Document Upload
Please note that we can only upload .pdf files, and the name of the file can only contain alphabets (no numbers or special characters). Also, the name cannot have spaces between words. Unfortunately, when you encounter an error, it does not provide specific guidance on the correct document type or size; it simply states 'select the right file,' which can be frustrating. However, I received this solution from a Cite HR user, Jagadesh-N, and when I followed the advice, it worked. I hope that someone at EPFO will at least review the attachment, if not take action.
