I worked for company A for 10 long years. Due to financial issues, the company started layoffs, and I began looking for jobs. I secured a good opportunity with immediate joining. However, the HR of company A refused to provide me with a relieving/experience letter promptly. I eventually received the necessary documents 3-4 months later, thanks to the assistance of a senior who intervened with HR on my behalf.
Upon joining company B, I made a mistake by submitting a relieving/experience letter on company A's letterhead, signed by myself but in the HR's name. I acknowledge that this action was unethical, but I felt compelled to secure the job and was concerned that disclosing the hold on my papers by HR at company A could jeopardize my offer at company B.
After just one month at company B, the Background Check (BGC) failed, leading to my dismissal. Following a 2-month gap, I secured a position at company C, where I have been working for the past 2 years. Neither my current employer nor I have discussed the employment gap.
Regarding my queries:
1. Should I disclose the brief job stint at company B during new job searches or interviews with prospective employers?
2. If I do choose to disclose, should I provide the actual reason for the termination or end of my service?
3. If I opt not to disclose my employment at company B, is there a possibility that prospective employers could discover this information through the UAN portal or other means?

Hi,
As you yourself agreed, what you did is not ethical and amounts to forgery. You better be at Company C for some more time and in the future when you look for a job, don't mention Company B at all. Also, don't include it on your resume. When you go to a new employer, you can continue with the same UAN of Company C. Always be ethical in terms of employment and in personal life. Remember, honesty is the best policy!

Dear Friend,
If your company A.B.C deducted your PF earlier, then your service history through the PF portal is accessible to the future company. So, avoid hiding. Let's keep honesty with you; definitely, it's worth it for you in your future. If we hide something, then the same thing does not allow us to sleep all night.

@V.M.Lakshminarayanan, sir,
If I don't mention Company B to the next employer, he may find out about it from UAN.
If I mention and explain the reason/cause of my exit, I have no chance of getting employed.

Hi, In what way you got relieved from company B? You have not mentioned about it. If they have relieved you properly with relieving order then no harm in showing. You may present some fitting reason.

Dear Mr. V.M. Lakshminarayanan,
After a BGC failure, I was informed that I needed to leave in accordance with HR policy. I was provided with a relieving letter indicating the immediate termination of my service due to a failed BGC resulting from incorrect information provided by me. It was mentioned that my pending dues would be settled shortly.
Additionally, I am pleased to note that my UAN linkage was approved by the company upon my request after joining Company C.
