Can BGV be cleared with a PF joining-date mismatch and missing bank statements?

I’m looking for some advice regarding a potential background verification (BGV) issue.

I have been working with the same IT company since September 2022. However, my PF was only started from April 2026.

For the period September 2022 to March 2026, I don’t have:

PF records

Bank statements showing salary credits

Form 16

However, I do have salary slips for the entire period.

From April 2026 onwards, I have:

PF records

Bank statements

Salary slips

The joining letter from the company states that my employment started in September 2022, while the PF joining date shows April 2026.

The company is an IT company, and they are willing to cooperate with the BGV process and verify my employment through official email or other means if required.

My question is: Has anyone faced a similar situation? Can an MNC BGV be cleared when the PF joining date doesn't match the actual joining date and there are no bank statements/Form 16 for the earlier period, but the employer is willing to officially verify the employment?

I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who have gone through BGVs for large MNCs and faced similar documentation gaps.
