Hi, I have joined a company X on 19th April 2017. I left the company on 14th May 2018 due to a medical issue and did not serve the notice period. In the same month, I received an offer from company Y and requested to join on 28th May 2018. I joined company Y without disclosing my previous employment. After some days, I managed to obtain a relieving letter from my former company X. Unfortunately, they mentioned my Last Working Day (LWD) as 1st June 2018.
I inquired with the HR why the date was stated as June 1st when I actually left on May 14th, 2018. The HR explained that they processed the salary for that month, and the payslip indicated WO- 24 (including my leaves), LOP- 7, and the final date as 1st June 2018.
Now, I have received an offer from company Z. In my CV, I have detailed my current and previous work experiences. Company Z requested my past company's Relieving Letter and my current company's Offer Letter. During the Background Verification (BGV) process, they observed a 5-day overlap. However, I possess proper documentation, such as payslips showing that I was only paid for the days I worked.
What should I do if I fail the BGV? Will they withdraw the offer? How might this impact my future job prospects?

Dear Anony,
Yours is a case of dual employment or employment overlap. I suggest you speak with company Z and show that you were paid only for the days you worked there. Try to settle this amicably. What's the worst that can happen? Yes, they can revoke your offer! However, no, it won't affect your future. Though you must put all your efforts into sorting this out with your previous employers because this will reflect in all your future BGVs.

Hi Rahul,
Thank you for the advice. I have tried my best to ask my previous company, Company X, HR for a revised RL, but he is not ready to provide me with the revised RL. He mentioned that he processed it according to company policy.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how I can proceed.
Thank you.
