Background Check Woes: How to Verify Employment from a Closed Company?

Vandy vv
Hi, Recently, I joined an MNC company. Before that, I worked at companies X (latest) and Y (before the latest). X is still operational, but Y has exited (is not running). I submitted payslips, an offer letter, and a service letter from Y. Now, during the background verification process, they are asking for authority details for company Y. Can I check the CIN for company Y? If I do, will it show another company Z with Y's exit details? Is there a solution to resolve this issue?

Thanks

You can reply to the BGV agency, providing the factual position on the status of company Y and attach a copy of your documents mentioned above to prove your credentials.

The CIN (assuming it is the company identification number issued by MCA) cannot be used by a different company than the one it was registered with. This means that only the company's name has changed, not that it has closed down. I suggest you reach out to the company to confirm and obtain the contact number of the concerned HR manager for the BVG team to check.
