Worried About Salary Discrepancy in Background Check? Here's What You Need to Know

I have worked in a total of three companies. Now, I'm joining an MNC. At the MNC, I have provided the exact salary from my last company. However, for the first two companies, I have only provided my in-hand salary multiplied by 12. I am unaware of the CTC for the first two companies because, after joining, they would give a salary hike after six months, but they did not provide me with a salary breakup, an increment letter, or even a salary slip. Therefore, during the background verification at the MNC, I multiplied my in-hand salary by 12, resulting in a lower salary amount. As a result, the background verification shows a lower salary for the previous two companies, while the salary from my last company is accurately represented. Will this discrepancy cause my background verification to fail?

Hi, In the case of verification, what you wrote has to match the salary data provided by the first two companies. If any queries are raised, you can explain.

Can they terminate me for this reason? My last company salary is perfectly okay. On day one, should I tell this problem to HR? Should I disclose this problem myself, or wait until after the background verification, and if they ask, then I will tell them?

Is there any possibility that my background verification will fail? I have already explained the reason. Though my last company salary is perfectly okay, and I received a hike on my last salary.
