• Overlapping of service period issue between companies

I have joined company A during Jun 24th 2019. Due to unavoidable personal concerns, I couldn't continue the service. By mid of October 2019, I left company without resignation & without notice.
Later by Nov 6th 2019, I joined company B, serving this company B till date.
Meanwhile company A continued to credit salary & PF till Jan 7th 2020. Company A terminated the employment on Jan 7th 2020.
Now I was interviewed by company C, received the offer & the offer has been accepted by me as well.
As part of background check (by third party service "Digi Verifier"), it was revealed to company C about having overlapping period (November 2019 - January 2020) in PF accounts of company B & C respectively, indicating the dual employment. 
Hence company C revoked the offer.

What to do in such situation ?
Will it totally impact the future background verification checks?
Will it impact the career ? 
How to resolve dual employment issue?
- Is it possible to get the issue sorted with company A ?
- can company A issue relieving letter with updated relieving date to last working day of September 2019 ?
- can company A update corresponding PF's date of exit to last working day of September 2019 ?

Your solution lies with company A. You can request A to relieve you from the date prior to joining B refunding all the emoluments received from A. You also need to correct the record in EPF. Serving two employers simultaneously, without permission from both, is serious misconduct by employee.

1. You may have to return the amount that was credited to your PF account as well as salary account and get a certificate to this effect from the first employer, after which you can contact the current employer with a request to reinstate you.

2. You should have thought about it before itself, now you may have to tender an apology to the current employer citing that it was done by oversight.

3. Next time when you get into a new employment this black mark may continue to follow.

4. To solve the issue you may have to adopt the suggestions made above,. 

5. You may have to approach them and convince them with your willingness to return the excess amount they have credited to your account.

6. The relieving letter as per your desire is to be decided by the company A only.
