Employer certificate as an address proof
An employer certificate serves as a written confirmation from the applicant's employer, attesting that the individual resides at a specific address. Companies typically conduct background checks during their recruitment process, which includes verifying the employee's address. The employer’s confirmation is therefore deemed reliable, as any inaccuracies would hold the employer accountable, and no employer would want to risk providing false information.Annexure B: PAN application for employer certificate
