EPF overlap
1 month ago
Hi , I completed my graduation in 2017 then I joined in non-IT company A in Nov 2017 and I worked for 3 months, as I have to do night shifts I faced many health issues then I left that job in Feb 2018, later I joined in company B in March 2018 due my father's health issues I was the one to take care of him and support my family in hospital so I left the company on 31st April 2018 which is out of my hands. But in my EPF services history showing that It was active till 31st march 2021 they didn't enter my Date of exit and kept it active, I restarted my career in company C in Jan 2021, because of company B entering DOE EPF as mistake I'm having service overlap issue of 3 months,which is affecting my service history. Now I got an offer from MNC company, because of this service overlap issue my BGV process is going to be affected. I'm much worried which is not my mistake and is out of my hands Please do the need full as early as possible. I'll be thankful with the favour.
The overlapping in service in respect of previous and present establishment and any anomaly or discrepancy in EPF records in respect of a fund of any registered member is a ground for future dispute. When your EPF record shows an anomaly in the joining and exit date in both the XXX & YYY Company which is contradictory, then until and unless those anomalies are rectified by the concerned employers, PF records will show dual employment. A joint declaration form is used to correct Provident Fund (PF) member details. It is a combined form that the employee and employer sign and submit to the regional PF commissioner to update the wrong information entered in the employees’ PF accounts. An EPF member should fill out the joint declaration form to correct details like father’s name, joining date, Exit date, etc., as these details will be verified against the Aadhaar. The EPF members or employees should physically submit the joint declaration form to the regional PF office with which the company or establishment is registered. An employee cannot update the service history. Only an employer can rectify the error in the employment record of the EPFO. So if an employee finds an error in the database, he should contact their present or previous employers and get it corrected. Further, Background verification(BGV) check is a process many organizations carry out to verify the information provided by the candidate during hiring. Verification of EPFO records through UAN is critical 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/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 the Regional P F Commissioner who is the competent authority to resolve any anomaly arising out of the date of appointment and date of discharge in EPF records. 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. In case of non-cooperation from both previous and current employers which amounted to unfair labour practice, you may bring the matter to the notice of the concerned Labour Commissioner or Asst. Labour Commissioner/LEO for a resolution in the matter
