Hi, I recently joined a new org where BGV is taking place, and they asked for service history. My previous employer, to save money even on multiple requests, did not deduct PF. Recently, they increased the size of the org with 120+ employees and started deducting PF. The issue is they mentioned my joining date from 1st of Sept instead of 1st of Jan, which is the actual joining date. I already had a PF account before joining my previous org. I have a good relationship with the previous manager.
What can be done in this scenario to prevent BGV failure even in future cases?

Dear Professional,
Greetings.
Even though your joining letter has September 1st mentioned, your actual payslip would have started from January 30th. So, there is nothing to worry about if you can produce the salary slips and the bank statement where your salary is credited. These will be additional supporting documents to clarify your background verification at any point in time.
Furthermore, you can ask your old company to provide you with a work experience letter that will mention the actual date of joining and the date of departure. This will also be an additional document. Hope you are clear now.
If you have any further queries, feel free to get in touch.

I have a relieving letter with the correct date of exit and date of joining. I have an actual bank statement showing correct salary credits throughout, and I also have payslips. However, the only thing that concerns me is if my current employer asks why my PF service history is incorrect (I am not an excluded employee as my first job created PF, but my base salary was above 15k). Is there any legal proof I can obtain from my last employer to validate my PF service history (providing assurance for any background verification even 10 years down the line)? Additionally, what reason should I give to my future employers if they ask the same question?

(Fact Checked)-Your concerns are valid. If discrepancies arise in PF history, the relieving letter, bank statements, and payslips can serve as proof. Direct discussions with your previous and current HR departments can clarify the situation. (1 Acknowledge point)

If your company was not under PF earlier and started it during your employment, obviously your PF history will not be there for the period when they were not covered under PF. You need to explain that to the BGV team or to HR in advance as you know there will be an issue with it.
