Hello,

If you hide the details then the PSU will get a new UAn number for you and in that case you will be having two UAN number. Since it was a private employment and if you are not breaching any terms of the contract with the previous employee then you may take the chance of not telling the previous employment.

Dear Sir,

Kindly note that in the facts and circumstances as mentioned above by you. It can be safely suggested that since you have already intimated them through an email stating.your resignation , it implies that you have tendered your resignation and in spite of the fact that you have not received your relieving letter, you are not at fault. Now the only question which comes to our understanding is whether the new job requires relieving letter or a statement.to.the effect.that you were employed somewhere.

No problem at all bith the things are different. If you submit UAN or not. Better you check whether you 2 months account is active or not. Because private companies deposit amount aftwr six months.

You must disclose all material facts

2) suppression of material facts can be ground for taking disciplinary proceedings against you

No problem what you are hiding hide it and forget for ever that you have hide something.Two month's employment or more months employment does not mean anything, important is benefit of which period you wants to gain. It is you give or not to give any detail but if there is disciplinary or criminal proceedings initiated then there is problem otherwise not.

1)the resignation sent through e-mail is valid.

A resignation is an official document that an employee has to submit to an organization announcing his decision to leave the company.

2)You do not need to produce the relieving letter when you are joining the new PSU

Dear Client,

Even if your resignation not duly served, no complications, PSU appointment has nothing to do with it. If previous experience is counting for this job, than only need to disclose otherwise not.

The PSU in no way will be concerned about your private employment especially when you were employed only for two months, hence it will make any impact to the current job.

Dont worry if you have not divulged the details of previous employment.

What usually happens in such cases if departmental enquiry is set.?

I am sure such cases would have happened in past.

Do they fire the employee?

Employment in a private company that too temporarily for two months will not draw any adverse inference to your current employment.

Was there any column in the form to mention about the details of previous employment?

Since you are not going to claim any benefits of previous employment, just ignore this.

You should disclose your previous employment as material suppression of fact can lead to strict disciplinary action against you.

Not giving of UAN number is not going to be of any help in your case.

Departmental enquiry isset and if you are found guilty of material suppression of fact of previous employment you would be terminated from your job as well as a criminal complaint can be filed against you for criminal breach of trust.
