EPF service overlap
4 weeks ago
I am working in private company in full time from 2003 to till date. In 2018 for six months, I did a part time work in an insurance company for 6 months only. Insurance company also created Pf account and both pf accounts are linked in UAN. Now My service shows upto 2018 only in first account. What need to do to correct it
A.Dear Client,
There isn't a law prohibiting individuals from holding multiple jobs, but employment contracts should not include clauses restricting full-time work elsewhere. Resigning from one job before joining another is necessary to avoid overlapping employment. Background verification checks, including EPFO record verification through UAN, ensure candidates provide accurate information. Negative results in background checks may lead to rejection or termination of employment. To resolve overlapping PF records, contact the Regional PF Commissioner, who handles discrepancies in EPF records. Using a joint declaration form, both the employee and employer can correct PF member details. Complaints regarding EPF records can be filed via the EPF i-Grievance Management System. Once EPF records are corrected, employment opportunities with other companies can be pursued without stigma.

A.Dear Client,
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need to approach the office of Regional P F Commissioner who is the competent authority to resolve any anomaly arising out of date of appointment and date of discharge in EPF records.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.
