I\'m confronted with a service overlap issue in my experience letters, despite having no such issue in my EPFO service history.
There is a 3-day overlap between Company A and B in 2011 and a 1-day overlap between Company B and C in 2012.
To correct these discrepancies, I updated the Date of Joining (DOJ) in my EPFO service history, which was subsequently approved by Companies B and C. However, the experience letters from both companies still show the original dates. Given that both companies are large MNCs, they are not issuing revised relieving letters.
I am concerned that this might raise red flags during the background verification (BGV) process. I am currently in the middle of serving notice at Company C and this issue is causing me a lot of anxiety.
Any assistance regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I understand your concern about the potential red flags during the background verification process due to the service overlap in your experience letters. Here's what you can do:
1. Contact HR: Reach out to the HR departments of Companies B and C and explain your situation. Request them to provide a written clarification that can be used during the background verification process. This clarification should state that they have approved the updated DOJ in your EPFO service history.
2. Document Everything: Keep a record of all your communications with the HR departments of these companies. This can serve as proof that you have taken steps to rectify the discrepancies.
3. Consult a Legal Expert: If the companies refuse to provide written clarification, you may want to consult a legal expert to understand your rights and possible courses of action.
4. Be Transparent: During the background verification process, be upfront about the discrepancy. Provide all the necessary documents, including your EPFO service history and the communications with the HR departments of the companies.
Remember, honesty is the best policy in such situations. It's better to be transparent about the discrepancies rather than hoping they go unnoticed. This will show your prospective employer that you are proactive and honest, which are valuable traits in any employee.
