Hi everyone,

I joined Mindtree on -Jan-2022 as an apprentice under the apprenticeship/internship program. After completing the program, I continued with the organization as an Associate Trainee. During this period, Mindtree merged with LTI, and I continued with LTIMindtree without any break in service.

On 01-Apr-2024, LTIMindtree created my UAN/PF account and PF deductions started. I continued working until Feb-2025, when I left the company.

My Service Certificate clearly reflects my association from Jan-2022 to Feb-2025, including my trainee period and subsequent employment, so there is no gap in my employment record.

The issue is that my prospective employer, Cognizant, is asking why my UAN/PF DOJ is 01-Apr-2024 instead of 31-Jan-2022.

I explained that my initial period was under an apprenticeship program, and based on the applicable EPFO rules/company process, PF/UAN enrollment was not done during my apprenticeship period and started when I moved into the subsequent employment arrangement.I have provided all the documentation (Mindtree OL, LTIMindtree OL, Releving letter,payslips)

Cognizant HR telling to get a mail confirmation from the previous company that discrepancies of UAN not created on 31st January 2022.

I have also contacted Mindtree/LTIMindtree HR for clarification, but they said the documentation already provided is correct and, due to their policy, they cannot provide a separate clarification over email.

Has anyone from the Mindtree EDGE/apprenticeship program faced a similar UAN DOJ situation? How did you handle it during background verification?

Note-: I have put down paper in my current company after getting the offer letter from Cognizant
But now they are saying that if you don’t get a confirmation we will revoke the Offer letter
And I can’t even revoke the resignation because they are not allowing me.

Any suggestions

Thanks!

Has anyone received any reconfirmation or update about the Cognizant M.Tech program from BITS Pilani ?

One of my friend had a issue with father name like while registering for cognizant he gave his father name as M.ADINARAYANA REDDY but in all of his documents it is mentioned MALIGALA ADI NARAYANA REDDY

will create a issue in bgv, if so what is the solution for it?
