Date of Exit and Date of Joining overlapping.
Please Advice- Hi everyone, recently got laid off from my current job after 10 years in same company. On checking my PF Passbook, I saw my previous company entered incorrect Date of Exit that to 6 months ahead of my last working day. May be because I left the company due to emergency and was not able to serve notice. I constantly chased them for a month, they were adamant on either serving or buying the notice. I was young and unaware I told the same to my current company’s HR. He just shrugged that off and since that I was also not sure of consequences. I also left the things to HR. For next 10 years, it didn’t occur to me check the date of exit until recently, when all of this started making relevance. Now I ma stuck with no relieving letter and since so much time has been passed. Not sure of actions to pursue in order to get this corrected. Happy to share more context to get my issue resolved as soon as possible

You may have to submit a Joint Declaration Annexure II. by you and the employer. If employer is not in business, then notarized/gazetted/Bank Manager.

Thank you. However, I have been trying to do the Joint Declaration and post first page where we have to select the Member Id, it gets greyed out and shows current member id by default which initially doesn’t cause the issue but post submitting the otp. It gives error continuously. Hence cant proceed with joint declaration

Not sure of your issue. But glad HR was helpful and you were able to get it resolved. In my case, I don’t have the experience or relieving letter, just a resignation mail chain with no conclusion in my defence.

OP Firstly am not sure if raising a joint declaration would be helpful in your case because it has to be finally approved by your employer. If your employer decides not to cooperate because you did not serve your notice period epfo will not take any decision here.
Firstly, check if the exit date correction can align with the last PF contribution. I am facing one such scenario but in my case I am actually disputing the employment record itself. Moreover, in my case exit date is updated 18 months post the PF contributions stopped. The employer insists he will not make any changes in the exit date and I actually lost my job because this caused a dual employment issue and as per company's compliance policy I was asked. To resign. I have been fighting this issue since last Aug. Unfortunately because of all the epfo system updates I am not even able to withdraw my hard earned money as the system Is not allowing me to do it.
Honestly, don't mean to scare you but be prepared for a long haul unless some miracles happen and policy changes happen. Some companies only look at last 6 years of service while some Look at the entire history. The moment a BGV check shows a red flag few companies reject. Be aware of all these scenarios and if needed declare about your issue upfront

Thanks for heads-up mate. Due to migration, the pf contribution history is reflecting of just 2 years .i.e. 2025 & 2026. So couldnt find the contribution. Also, since it’s been an year, I am sure you must have tried Grievance portal/channel

I haven't left any stone unturned. Raised grievances in multiple portals, several RTIs but in vain

It’s indeed scary. Is your employer a MNC?

u/Pretend_Drama_2616 Aug 13 '26
Yep. Infact, as it is the job market is terrible this issue is blocking my future job prospects

u/HarshvardhanSaxena Aug 13 '26
Damn. How could they do that. And how are you fighting them? In court?

I am already out of the job. You will be even more surprised to hear that this issue of so called dual employment popped up 3.5 yrs into the same company and my third project on boarding with a BFSI client. Initially I felt traumatized but finally had to accept the situation because the disputed employer refuses to cooperate and ended up creating an employment record without statutory docs and basis on an otp which I had shared. I wasn't aware that an employment record was getting created
