I have joined a central government organization, X, recently, two months ago. Previously, I had worked for hardly a month in a PSU, Y. During the interview at the central government organization, X, I mentioned my employment in Y (although it had only been for 10 days). My mistake was that I did not disclose the employment at Y during the interview at X. However, later, when the interview result was announced, I immediately informed them about my employment at Y through an official email to X. They rightly replied and requested a relief. Additionally, I have accurately disclosed all the facts regarding my previous employment upon joining X.
I currently possess the relieving letter and a No Dues certificate from Y, both of which I have submitted to X, and they have been accepted. Given this, would the issue of non-disclosure during the interview still pose a problem in the future? Is it considered a suppression of facts? Could my employment be terminated because of this at any point in the future?
I want to highlight that I have a written disclosure regarding my employment at Y, which I had sent before joining X, immediately after receiving the interview results. In that message, I explained why I couldn't disclose this information during the interview. Should I be concerned about any potential repercussions now?

You need not worry since you disclosed the fact of your employment with Y soon after the result of the interview, i.e., well before your joining. As per X's instructions, you submitted your relieving orders from Y and were permitted to join duty. Thus, the matter is amicably settled.

The Importance of Transparency in Employment
The suppression of facts comes into play if your employer learns about them after you have joined. If you have already provided all the necessary information and documentation regarding your previous employment to your employer before joining, and they accepted it without raising any objections, then you should not worry needlessly. Instead, maintain your composure as everything seems to be calm. This serves as a lesson for you on the importance of transparency. Revealing certain facts midway can cause unnecessary turbulence in your mind. Always strive to be honest in your actions—decide whether to disclose information beforehand because it's essential to remember that we cannot keep something hidden forever.
So far, your new employer has not raised any questions on this matter, indicating that everything is in the clear. Good luck.
