I rebadge from A company to B company. My A companies last working day was 21 Oct 2018 and B company joining was 1 nov 2018. But B company mentioned in EPFO as Doj as 17-5-2018 which shows overlapping with the other company. How to proceed, my BGV is getting failed.

A.Dear Client,
The Factories Act, 1948 and the Industrial Employment (Standing Order) Rules, 1946, prohibit adult workers from engaging in dual employment. Further, rules related to dual employment have been captured under State-specific labour laws. There is no overarching law that prohibits a person from doing multiple jobs. It is not illegal however both companies should not have the clause “cannot take up work full time in some other company” So, before joining another Company you are required to tender your resignation from the earlier company that eventually caused the overlapping of service. Further, Background verification(BGV) check is a process many organizations carry out in order to verify the information provided by the candidate during hiring. Verification of EPFO records through UAN is a critical process for conducting employee background checks because it allows employers to confirm that their employees are not using false or stolen identities to gain employment. In case of a negative background verification check an employer can even reject or terminate the employment of the candidate. In the given situation, to resolve the issue of overlapping in the P F records of both employers, you need to approach the office of Regional P F Commissioner who is the competent authority to resolve any anomaly arising out of date of appointment and date of discharge in EPF records. A joint declaration form is used to correct Provident Fund (PF) member details. It is a combined form that the employee and employer jointly sign and submit to the regional PF commissioner to update the wrong information entered in the employees’ PF accounts. An individual can file a complaint using the EPF i-Grievance Management System (www. https://epfigms.gov.in/). Once you succeed in wiping out the stigma of dual employment from your EPF records with the cooperation of your previous and present employer, your scope of employment with other companies will be restored with clean employment records.
