Offer from TCS: Should I Disclose My Family's Legal Case on the Background Check Form?

Hanvika
I got an offer from TCS, but my family and I filed a case. The opposing party has agreed to close the case, but it will take some time due to family-related reasons. I am unsure if this situation will have any impact on me. Should I mention it in the BGC form? What type of police case does TCS consider?

Dear Colleague, most companies want to know through background verification (BVG) if any specific criminal offense has been committed, and if a case or FIR has been filed against the talent they are hiring. This is an important aspect, and companies pay due attention to it in line with their organizational policies. Traffic violations or civil litigation, such as property cases, are typically not given much focus. If you have a criminal case pending in your name or an active FIR, it is better to disclose this information and provide a necessary explanation to TCS with a brief note, rather than them finding out and questioning you. Transparency is key, so it is always better to be forthcoming without hiding any facts. All the best!

Please clarify, did you file the case, or are you only one of the petitioners/applicants? It appears to be a civil dispute and not a criminal matter. Please confirm. If you are not an accused, then you need not disclose.
