Dear Sam,
I have gone through your query. There is nothing for you to worry about. An ex-employer cannot jeopardize someone's future, as per the apprehensions reflected by you.
Moreover, I agree that background verifications are carried out in a very shoddy way by people who do not have any experience in the corporate world. Background verification serves no practical purpose, as past behavior is not a guarantee of future acts.
There is always a first time when every offender commits anything wrong, and it may not necessarily have happened in the past.
What is the guarantee that a person with a clean and good record will always perform well all his life or not do anything wrong?
With AADHAR and so many advances in police work, an offender cannot hide forever and will always be caught, whether they remain in India or flee abroad like so MANY HIGH-PROFILE OFFENDERS!
So, background verification is just a means for the concerned consultancies to earn money by scaring the employers about the dangers of similar offenses.
A successful background verification is not a guarantee of future performance. A KYC system, as employed by the bank, is good enough.
What can an employee do, or where can they run away after a fraud, if the employer has copies of their AADHAR card, PAN card, bank account details, passport, voter's ID, etc.?
Please relax, and if any discrepancy is put forward by the background verification agency, fight your case. Since you have not done anything wrong, nor committed any frauds, why are you worried?
Warm regards.

I got an offer from the top IT firm. I am currently working, but my previous employer has closed his business recently. I am having an offer letter, experience, and relieving letter, but I used to get my salary via envelope.
Please suggest to me how to manage during background verification. Will it have any impact as my previous employer has quit from his business? I have all the contact details of my previous employer, including my supervisor, HR manager, etc.

The background verification software is generally used by big firms and organizations that want to keep a record of employees' educational track, where they reside, criminal record, CIBIL score, etc. There are many background verification companies in India who are tied up with organizations to verify their employees. Due to this process, they sometimes have incorrect information about the employees, which is what happened in my case.

Hi, I would like to know if a person has to leave his/her job in difficult circumstances like mental harassment or false allegations. What would he/she say at the time of background verification because obviously the previous employer will not give any favorable feedback? Then eventually it becomes very difficult to find a good job.

Hi Priyanka,
If you have received a relieving letter, then you are on the safer side because you can always convince your future HR team that you do not have any pending legal issues/liabilities with the previous company and that you were issued an NOC. Be positive; many employers are aware that in some cases ex-bosses give negative feedback to affect background verification for their resigned employees. Do not worry; focus on good jobs.
Thanks and Regards,
