Hi everyone,

I'm currently completing my TCS NextStep onboarding and I'm facing an issue with Form 9 (EPF Declaration).

I have worked for only one company before TCS.

My details are:

• Previous company DOJ: 10/10/2024
• Date of Leaving: 15/05/2026
• Active UAN
• Same PF Account Number throughout
• I have not withdrawn my PF.

However, in the Form 9 declaration, TCS is showing two employer entries:

• Both entries have the same company name.
• Both have the same PF Account Number.
• Both have the same joining and leaving dates.
• The only difference is the address:
  • One entry shows my company's office address.
  • The other shows the EPFO establishment address.

I never added a second employer. Even if I leave the Employer No. 2 section blank or try to edit it, the portal still generates two entries for the same employer.

I've also attached a screenshot (personal details hidden).

Has anyone else faced this issue during TCS onboarding?

• Is this a known NextStep portal bug?
• Should I leave it as it is, or do I need to contact TCS onboarding?
• Will this create any issue during Background Verification or PF transfer?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

My original 12th marksheet had a spelling error in my surname. The Maharashtra State Board has officially corrected it. While filling the BGC form, should I select 'Yes' for name change/name discrepancy and upload the correction proof, or should I select 'No' since the error has already been corrected?
