        I got placed on campus in a company as an apprentice. I joined the company back in September 2024. As apprenticeships don’t come under any formal employment standards, I didn’t have a PF account or a UAN number. Furthermore I had a notice period of 1 month (not by apprenticeship act, but company enforced)

        I got joining date from another company, but it was after 20 days. I resigned and served whatever notice period i could. Even after begging and pleading the company they didn’t give me the last working day i wanted. I even offered to buy it out but the HR and managers spoke very rudely and denied all my requests stating that there is manpower crunch (which is bulls*it btw). And technically they shouldn’t have given position of dependency to an apprentice. It is their problem. I had no choice but to abscond. I didn’t have any assets except a simcard & ID card (which I haven’t surrendered yet). I didn’t complete the exit formalities.

        Will this cause a problem going forward or am i overthinking? I don’t want to show this experience as it is an irrelevant industry and i barely worked there for 4 months. I’m okay with not getting my experience letter. But if the company marks me as absconded will this reflect in future BGV? I might need to pay back the relocation bonus they gave me because i left within 1 year of joining the organization. I’m okay with that but i haven’t received a mail from their end as i didn’t initiate exit clearance. I have joined another company and everything is going great till now. But I’m still worried something might blow up.
