Worried About Background Verification? How My Small Company Experience Might Affect It

Hi,

Currently, I'm working in a Tier 3 company, but my previous company was a much smaller one, owned by a proprietor. Only 3 employees worked there. The issue is that the company is located in the proprietor's home. It's properly registered and still operating. I worked there for around 2 years, and my total experience is only 3 years.

A few days ago, I attended an interview with a CMMI Level 5 company, and I am likely to be shortlisted. Will I be able to clear the BGV? Please guide me.

Thank you.

If these details are true, why do you have to worry? As long as you have given correct details of your experience, there should be no problem.

The objective of the BGV is to ascertain if the information provided by you is true or false. Is there any false commitment made by you. So if the information given by you is accurate, do not worry.

Hi, thanks for your replies. I have the offer letter, experience letter, and relieving letter from that company with me, and I'm still in contact with my old employer. He will verify my employment in his company.

What I fear is they might ask for Form 16, email communication with the employer, or a salary deposit report from the bank. I don't have any of these documents with me since my salary was paid in cash, and I didn't pay any tax during that employment.

Will this be a problem for me? Please guide me.

Note: I have all the above-mentioned documents (Form 16, email communication, and salary deposit) with me for my current employer.

You can get a salary certificate from your ex-employer stating that the salary was paid in cash to you. This should solve the problem. Also, if your salary was below the taxable limit, they will also not ask you for Form 16.
