🔍 Background verification · EPFO service history

A dual-employment flag is often not dual employment.

Background verification increasingly reads EPFO service history, and that history is only as accurate as employers made it. A candidate who resigned in March but was never marked exited shows as employed in two places at once.

Data handling

What we will never ask for

We do not ask for or use employee UAN passwords, portal OTPs or Aadhaar OTPs. Employee-side portal actions are performed by the employee. Employee documents are collected only where a specific correction requires them, on a secure channel, never through a public enquiry form. If anyone claiming to represent NidhiSetu asks you for these, they are not us — see how to spot a PF scam.

Field notes / FAQ

Questions employers actually ask

Our candidate's BGV shows overlapping employment. Is that fraud? +
Often not. The most common cause is a previous employer that never marked the exit date at EPFO, which leaves the member showing as active there while the new employer's contributions begin. It is worth establishing the cause before treating it as a candidate-integrity issue — the correction usually sits with a former employer's record, not with the candidate.
An ex-employee says our records are blocking their new job. Are we obliged to fix it? +
Marking exit dates and maintaining accurate member records is part of employer record-keeping, and correcting an error in your own record is the ordinary course of that. Practically, these requests are cheap to resolve and expensive to ignore — they resurface as grievances. We action the correction and give you a process so it does not recur.
How long does a correction take? +
Employer-side corrections actioned through the employer portal are typically faster than those requiring a joint declaration or regional-office intervention, and cases needing a former employer's cooperation are the slowest because they depend on that employer responding. We tell you which category a case falls into at the outset and track it rather than leaving it open-ended.
Can you deal with the BGV agency directly? +
We prepare the documented position and evidence for you to provide. Direct dealing with a third-party verification agency happens only where you authorise it, because what is being shared is employment data.

Most overlapping-employment flags are a record artefact at a previous employer, not a candidate problem.
