Can government verify fake experience certificate through HR and PF records?
Hi, I submitted a fake experience certificate for 3 years when I joined a private company, but I left after 2 months because they breached the terms and conditions of the offer letter (working hours during probation were supposed to be in the day, but they kept me on a night shift). I left the company properly with a relieving letter and an experience certificate. Now, I’m about to join a central government job and have to fill in the previous employment details in the attestation form. My question is, if I mention my last company, can government agencies contact the company's HR to verify the fake certificate I submitted? When HR asked for my documents, I sent them over email. Also, I have PF entries for this fake experience, but no PF deposits or salary credited, for which I have a bank statement as proof. The PF entries under EPFO show the same DOJ (date of joining) and DOE (date of exit). Please advise.
This may lead to grave legal situations, like fraud cases. Government agencies check the details of employment; if they call the previous employer, they find the false information. This leads to the cancellation of your newly offered job and even serves you with legal cases that accuse you of forgery or cheating under the Indian Penal Code. You should be honest at the attestation form. You could also consider talking with a lawyer about your particular case and discussing possibilities for mitigating any outcomes.
Sir, submitting fake documents can lead to serious legal consequences, including job disqualification, criminal charges, or termination if already employed. It is important to consider disclosing the truth and consulting with an expert lawyer to understand the best course of action and minimize the legal risks.
