What follows is a long post, please be patient. I am in distress and I need experienced people to guide me.

For many years I was employed in the Fintech industry as a product manager. I stepped back from professional work and got into my family business some time back we winded it up and I managed to get a position again in a Fintech company as a product manager.

Something happened here that has me worried. Due to work related issues I got into argument with a lady colleague. It was a heated argument but I stayed completely civil in terms of the words I used. It lasted for maybe 10 minutes and then we both let it go. My other colleagues who were within earshot later told me that this person often gets into arguments in office, she has major family problems at home and is disturbed by it.

A day later I got a call from a police station where the officer told me that a complaint has been filed against me and that I need to visit the station in order to read and understand the complaint. I consulted my cousin who is a lawyer and he told me not to worry and just go to the station to hear out the matter. He made a call to officer, spoke to him briefly, and told me not to worry its an NC - non cognizable.

Upon reaching the police station the PSI spoke to me very very politely and showed me the complaint. The gist of the complaint is - that I regularly get angry with this lady at work and I threaten her with damaging her car, slashing the tires, and last time in anger I said I will burn her house down. I told the PSI that all of this is not true that there were witnesses at work. I got very upset and was on the verge of crying. The PSI was very polite and he told me that nothing happens of the NC, no investigation no prosecution no witnesses nothing. Its like a record of events that a person found threatening to her safety but no crime has happened. He did not give me a copy nor did he let me take a photograph of the NC with my phone. He let me read the entire document and asked me to sign simply stating that I have read this document and have been explained what is written in it. Then I left.

Later I spoke to my cousin (the lawyer) he told me that as far as the NC is concerned I have nothing to worry about legally. Then the next day I went to the HR business partner at work and I told her everything that has happened. She told me she will talk to her seniors and figure out what will be done within the company. She spoke to my boss and both of them approved work from home for me for a period of two weeks simply to make sure that the lady who filed the complaint and I are physically separated until they figure out what has actually happened. My colleagues at work later called me and told me that they all spoke to HR and gave a correct and accurate description of everything that transpired. Everyone spoke in my favour including other women who work in the office. HR has called me and told me that absolutely no action will be taken against me and for the sake of peace at work I should continue with the 2 week WFH.

As far as my employment is concerned, my mind is at rest. I will talk to my cousin and some other legal people I know to find out if an NC can be challenged or quashed. But right now I don't know if it is possible and how long it will take.

My question:

This all has happened just in the last few days. I am genuinely worried about the future. If in the future an employer does a background check what will happen, will they discover that an NC police complaint has been lodged against me? what are the implications of this on my career. I am completely ignorant about these matters and currently I am extremely stressed. Anyone with knowledge and experience of such things please give any comments or advice. Thanks in advance.

TL;DR - Someone filed a false NC against me in police station. I am concerned about future employment and BGV

Hello everyone

I am shifting to kharghar in about a month's time and will be setting up an entire home with furnishing before bringing my family. My plan is to make the home live-able but I don't want to spend too much on furniture.

Could someone recommend to me furniture shops that are suitable for a budget shopper but are trustworthy on quality. I am looking beyond the branded outlets to local guys to optimize expenses. Thanks.

Edit: shifting for work, and will be leaving furniture behind in the old flat

Hi everybody. I had written a query here: link maybe a week or 10 days ago and I wanted to give a quick update.

I have done the following things on the UAN member portal:

1. Updated bank account details - status is under verification - hopefully this will go through

2. Updated PAN details - status is awaiting verification from employer. I have raised a grievance for this on the epfiGM website requesting the field officer to approve since the employer is unresponsive. Fingers crossed.

3. I have located the PF account numbers from salary slips of previous employers three of them. Once the Bank account details are approved I will try to use the facility to transfer money from old unlinked PF accounts on the UAN member portal and request that the approval go to the previous concerned employer and not the last employer. I will speak to the HR teams at all three employers once I reach this step

Ultimately if these 3 problems don't get sorted online then I will visit the PF regional office and speak to the PRO seeking guidance on next steps. In hindsight I can see that all of these problems were avoidable if I had tracked them and done stuff on time. I just took it for granted - Ye toh mera paisa hai, mereko jub chahiye milega :) It was naive I know!

I hope this kind of update post is acceptable and within rules of the community. Thanks for reading :)

Hello folks

Some background:

I worked in the corporate sector in a few jobs till 2016. Following this I worked in my family business and freelanced over the last 10 years. I have a UAN associated with my last employer and my epf account with that employer is mapped to that UAN. My UAN is updated with my aadhaar card but it is not updated with my PAN card and my bank account details. My last employer from 2016 over the last 10 years has shut down operations. It was a distressed company. At the time I did not take much interest in checking my UAN for mapping with bank account and pan card.

I have a family situation where I need to fully withdraw all of my funds. In order to do that I need to do a few things and would appreciate any guidance.

My questions:

1. How can I update pan details without employer
2. How can I update bank account details without employer
3. I have a PF account with an older employer and I suspect that it never got transferred to this current PF account and UAN, how can I check and how can I get that transferred
4. How much time does it typically take to get the above things done
5. Finally after doing the above how much time does it take to withdraw full PF

I would be very grateful if someone can help with these questions and any other guidance.
Thanks in advance.
