Concerned About a Past Criminal Case Affecting Your Job Offer? Here's What to Consider

There is a criminal case registered under my name in 2014. However, last year, the court gave the judgment that it was false against me, and I was not convicted. Recently, I received an offer from Deloitte. Will the criminal records result in my offer being revoked? Should I mention this incident while filling out the background verification form?

Openness is always right and helpful. Don't worry if you have been acquitted of the charges falsely leveled against you. Don't hide it; mention the facts briefly with documentary evidence before they would unearth through BGV. I hope they'll understand, going by the records.
