Hello All,
I have received an offer from a major Indian IT MNC in Chennai, but I am facing a dilemma due to the following reasons. I would appreciate some advice from you. The reasons for my concern are:
1. I previously worked at the same company 13 years ago and served as a Trainee for 1 month (it was a 2-year trainee position). I do not have any documentation such as a joining letter, experience letter, or resignation letter. Even though I informed HR via email that I would not be able to continue at the time of leaving, I have not disclosed this to HR now. During that time 13 years ago, I did not have a PAN CARD, and Aadhar was not yet in existence. Can they still track this information (if I do not inform them)? If so, would this be an issue? I did not include this experience in my resume as it was a trainee position with no chance of confirmation as far as I can recall, and I did not have any supporting documents. Additionally, showing that I worked for only 1 month may not be favorable.
2. Subsequently, I worked at another MNC for 1 year and 5 months (Company B). I have also not disclosed this experience to the new company. For this particular period 13 years ago, I plan to state that I did not work anywhere due to family issues.
3. I have only listed my current company (Company C) on my resume for the new company. Will they contact Company C to inquire about my previous employment at Company B, or will they simply ask for dates of employment, job titles, etc., during the background verification process with Company C?
4. One aspect to consider is that my Provident Fund (PF) from Company B was withdrawn, and the account was closed before the introduction of the Universal Account Number (UAN). Therefore, I do not believe this information will appear in my current UAN with Company C. Can anyone provide suggestions on this matter?
5. Overall, this means that I will have a gap of approximately 2 years (between companies A and B). Would this pose an issue during the background verification process?
Thank you for your assistance and guidance.

It is most likely that this may not surface during the BGV. However, there may be some of your friends who would know the above background of yours and can be potential trouble.
While the period in company A is very negligible and could be pardoned, the omission of B is serious and won't be treated lightly.
