determining the originality of payslips

[hamakhaa]

Hi everyone,
A general question regarding the originality of payslips.

To upload/scan, the vfs are now accepting only the set of photocopies of documents on an A4 page. If someone has printed an electronic formal payslip, how are they going to know that the payslip is an electronic one or an original hard copy that has been photo copied? They will both look the same, isnt it?

I see many people say that the electronic payslips needs to be stamped/sign but when the hard copies of payslip are on A4 page, they will look exactly the same.

Any thoughts?

Yes i agree, pre scanning, sending original documents was one of the most important requirements for an approval. And now with scanning it is largely irrelevant whether it is a scanned original or copy.

Original & electronic payslips can easily be differentiated as many organization has their own distinctive style, texture & layout of printer if they choose to print paper payslips which usually aren't A4 sized.

I got my payslips signed and stamped by my employer, so that when I scanned it the signature and stamp also show up. My employer also confirmed they had signed my previous payslips in their "employment proof letter".
