If you are not able to use your digital signature in the EPF employer portal then read this carefully to know how to effectively use digital signature for PF. So that you can easily approve the KYC details of your employees.
Java releases updates regularly and whenever Java releases an update then you will be redirected to the Java update page. There you can download and install the latest version of Java.
But here the problem is even though the employers are updating the latest version of Java still they are not able to approve KYC with DSC.
For PF the problem is not with the Java, it is with the browser which you are using. Java is a computer programming language needed to run some software programmes. So it is always better to install the latest version of Java.
System Requirements for EPFO Digital Signature
| Java Version | Java SE 15.0.1 |
| Mozilla Firefox | Version 48 |
| Google Chrome | Version 42 or below |
If you are a Chrome user then you need to install a Google Chrome version less than 42, if you are a Mozilla Firefox user then you need to install version Firefox 48.
If you use other versions, then they don’t support Java and you will get the following errros.
“We have detected you are using Google Chrome and might be unable to use the Java plugin from this browser. Starting with Version 42 (released April 2015), Chrome has disabled the standard way in which browsers support plugins “
You can observe it in below images.
For Chrome Users
Suppose if you are using Google Chrome version 48 then I will find this message the same will happen in case of Firefox also.
If you are using the lower versions of Chrome or Firefox then you don’t see the above message, suppose if you are using Firefox version 48 then the Java update page will appear like this.
So if you are looking for which Java version is required for EPF digital signature then the answer is you always need to update the latest version of Java. At present Java has version 8 update 181, which was released on 17 July 2018.

Use Mozilla Firefox version 48 and while using DSC in Mozilla 48 a popup window will open in Mozilla there you need to select Allow Java for twice, after that your digital signature will open.
