Background verification(BGV) 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 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. It is commonly observed that many companies safeguard their interest by having a conditional clause in the employment agreement to the effect that the appointment of the candidate may be subject to termination in case of a failed BGV report, which is a good business practice. Once you fail in a background verification of an organization then they will definitely list you in their blacklist, so that you cannot get a job in that particular company and their branches. In case of a negative background verification check an employer can even reject the employment of the candidate. The Factories Act, 1948, and the Industrial Employment (Standing Order) Rules, 1946, prohibit adult workers from engaging in dual employment. For correction of an overlapping period of 86 days, you need to visit the regional office of the PF Commissioner and get the anomalies in PF records corrected following the procedure as advised by the EPF Authority otherwise you may face the consequences as explained herein above. If required, you may escalate your grievance before PF Appellate Tribunal with the assistance of an Advocate for a resolution in the matter.
If you have lost your job due to dual employment, the best course of action would be to review your employment contract and see if it prohibits dual employment. If it does, you may not have many options to fight against your dismissal.
