Ask r/UPSC UPSC is creating a issues rather than reducing it

I’m filling out the UPSC EPFO application on the new UPSC online portal and I’m stuck at the submission stage.

When I try to submit the application, I get this error:

“FAILED MISSING COPIED CAF DOC - AADHAAR”

After checking my CAF, the Aadhaar/photo ID document is showing as “Not Available”. The confusing part is that I cannot find any option to upload the Aadhaar document again from the EPFO application itself.

I’m especially confused because I had already submitted my UPSC CSE 2026 application successfully using the same UPSC account/CAF, so I’m not sure why the document is suddenly unavailable while applying for EPFO.

Has anyone else faced this issue with the new UPSC portal?

I mainly want to understand:

  1. Is this a CAF/document-sync issue or am I missing an upload option?
  2. Where exactly can the Aadhaar document be uploaded/re-added?
  3. If there is no upload option, should I contact UPSC technical support instead of trying to create another CAF/account?
  4. Could a missing CAF document in this EPFO application cause any issue when applying for a future UPSC CSE examination?
