How Can I Resolve a One-Day Dual Employment Record on My PF Portal?

While employed at Altimetrik as a Data Engineer, I received an offer from NTS on March 5, 2022, with a joining date of March 15, 2022. In light of this new opportunity, I resigned from Altimetrik via email, confirming my last working day as March 14, 2022. Accordingly, I joined NTS on March 15, 2022.

However, on March 25, 2022, I received a salary from Altimetrik, which I realized could create a dual employment issue. To address this, I consulted with the HR department at NTS. Following their guidance, I continued my service with Altimetrik. Consequently, NTS issued a termination letter with an exit date of March 15, 2022.

This sequence of events led to my PF service record showing both the Date of Joining (DOJ) and Date of Exit (DOE) at NTS as March 15, 2022, resulting in a one-day dual employment record.

Despite my efforts, this one-day dual employment record cannot be removed from my PF portal, and NTS is unable to assist further in this matter.

Hi, I don't see any dual employment history in your case. You joined NTS on March 15, 2022, and were terminated on the same day, March 15, 2022. So, what is the exact issue? Your question is not clear.

I got selected for a new job, but during the background verification, my NTS record was flagged for dual employment, leading to my rejection. I was employed at Altimetrik from January 2022 to December 2023. However, the NTS record shows both my date of joining (DOJ) and date of exit (DOE) as March 15, 2022, which falls in the middle of my tenure at Altimetrik.

I tried to get support from EPFO and NTS, but they cannot help me address this issue as this service record cannot be deleted. At most, they had already given a termination letter to me stating a valid reason: (as retained by the last employer, I got relieved from NTS service on 15th March).

However, my next employer is not accepting this justification and marked my BVG report as dual employment. This resulted in a loss of opportunity for me.
