Hi friends,
I am software developer having almost 5 years of experience; currently working in one of the oldest MNC. This is my third company. My first company ( a start up company) where I worked for slightly more than 2 years, has turned to Private limited recently. When I use to work there, it wasn't Pvt Ltd, just the name eg- some solutions.
Recently I checked their website and see that they have added Pvt Ltd as suffix in company name and now showing Date of incorporation as Dec 2011. I too was shocked to see that.
My concern is that if I move to some other MNC , would there be any problem in background check. ALready I have been verified more than twice by my previous employers and there's no issue. But since they(first company) have got the status as Pvt Ltd and Date of Incorporation, I am too much worried.
I have offer from one of biggest Indian MNC (which is unfortunately obsessed with BV/BC). Please let me know the next course of action. Should I speak to HR or should I wait to see if there's really a problem. I have got from my first company these docs: offer letter, Salary Slip, Relieving letter - that's it.
Please throw some light and help me get through this embrassing situation.
Sincerely,
Arvind Makrand

Dear Arvind,
Greetings!!!
In our opinion, you should first speak to the HR of company from where you got the offer because once you leave your present organisation and BV/BC ( assuming that the bv/bc reprt comes after joining as is the case in many organisations) in the joining organisation is negative , you may find yourself left in the lurch.
However apart from the documents that you already have, you must be having or can have your bank statements showing your salary coming from a particular organisation ( irrespective of it changing into a pvt. ltd.) and that should be proof enough that you worked there. Even otherwise, since the company you worked for must be a proprietorship or partnership firm and later changed into a pvt. ltd., so the date of incorporation should not pose a big problem.
Talk to the HR, keep your bank statement ready and be brave.

that's where I fall weak since the salary was paid in cash rather than cheque or bank account. infact I was not even in taxable income range so I don't have any tax docs as well. However, I have got a form -16, which I managed to get through repeatitive request, though I doubt the veracity of the same.
Also, there were some 15-20 employees at that time when I was working there. I am trying to get in contact with them so as to know how they are managing this situation.
Anyways, thanks to GroupHR for taking time to respond to my query. I really appreciate.

Hello Arvind Makrand,
Like Team GroupHR mentioned, don't be worried about the Date of Incorporation--that's the Date when it became a Private Limited Company.
You mentioned that the number of employees when you worked there were 15-20. So mostly you must be knowing the Head of the company--unless the management changed later. Just try to contact him/her with all your available docs--I don't think it will be a problem. Usually Company Heads would be happy to meet old employees [unless your exit wasn't smooth], especially those who have moved up the corporate ladder like you.
In case the management too changed, then talk to & meet the present HR head--there shouldn't be much of a problem.
All the Best.
