The government on Thursday dispensed with the system of gazetted officers attesting copies of certificates of candidates while applying for admission to educational institutions or for jobs.
An order from the Department of Administrative Reforms said that hereafter there should be no insistence on attestation by gazetted officers and all government departments and undertakings should accept self-attestation of certificates by candidates.
The Union Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pension had instructed the government to adopt the new system of self-attestation by candidates.
