So much for PM Modi's 'revolutionary move' allowing government documents to be self attested.



The government today admitted in the Rajya Sabha that there have been complaints of officials refusing to accept self-attested documents from people despite its push to abolish sworn affidavits.


"Yes sir... two references of public grievances were received on non-acceptance of self-certification by different authorities. A number of applications under the RTI Act seeking clarification on the subject have also been received," Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh informed the Upper House in a written reply.


He was asked whether government has received any representation/ grievances/complaints from general public regarding non-acceptance of self-attested documents by officials.
