Concerned About Overlapping Employment Dates on Record: Will This Affect My Return to India?

I used to work for organization A in India, and they deputed me on an H1B visa but made me sign an agreement before traveling for an amount of 2.5 lakh. I resigned from my job in the USA, and my last working day for the organization was August 10; however, I did not pay any amount to them at that time. After a year, I cleared my dues, and my employer provided me with a service letter with the last working day as August 25. I started working for a new employer, B, on August 11.

Now, I am planning to come back to India for good. Will this impact me in any way in the future? Since there are some overlapping dates showing on the record (even though I did not work for two employers), please suggest.

Since the date of joining Company B and the date of relieving as mentioned in the service certificate are overlapping, it is bound to create issues in your future career, especially when you change jobs. This "Ghost" will follow in every aspect of your career, from job application, personal interview, background verification, until you get an appointment letter.

It shows a picture as if you were working with two employers from August 11 to August 25.

Please inquire with your previous employer as to why August 25 was mentioned as the relieving date instead of August 10. Was there an error from your previous company, or was the period mentioned as August 25 taken into consideration due to any particular clause of the agreement?

If it is an error, please get it rectified from them at the earliest and obtain a new service certificate. If it is related to your service agreement, then first, you need to study the agreement, be very clear on your rights/your stance, and later discuss with your previous employer.

If this issue is not sorted, it is going to trouble you in the future.

Please do the needful and let me know if any further help is required.

Regards,
Sumeet

What my previous employer told me was, "We waited for you 15 days to pay the amount. Since you did not pay, we transferred you to India (on paper) and marked the 25th as your last working day." However, my payslip is only until the 10th of August. Since I did not pay the money within 15 days, they marked my last day as the 25th of August. But the Form 16 provided by employer A shows the 10th of August as my last working day. I am still working for B.

However, my payslip is generated until the 10th of August. Since I did not pay the money within 15 days, they marked my last day as the 25th of August. But Form 16 provided by Employer A shows the 10th of August as my last working day. I am still working for B, which is a big name in the IT industry. Will this reason be acceptable when I apply for a new job?
