Offer negotiations
I am trying to negotiate with a company by changing the values of an old company’a offer letter. Has anyone tried it before ? Is it very risky ?

Is it safe to sign offer letter?
Hi members,
Need your help in understanding future risk if I sign contract offer letter for a second job. I am full time working presently but due to sudden financial crisis caused by a business loss of my father I want to support him with extra income from secondary job,
I gave and cleared interview for US client . The company is new setup and I thought I was offered a freelance role but now the company has shared a offer letter and the owner said he is ok with me submitting PAN Card of my wife/mother for salary to be credited . There is no PF account setup involved and has assured me there would be no conflict with my first job.
He is asking to sign offer letter and come into employment with him as he wants to start his company as a full fledged org starting with hiring freelancers.
Is it advisable to go ahead or is there risk of first job org coming to track it or the owner can blackmail me if he turns out to be fraud. I know ethically wrong and this is my first time trying second job due to circumstances. Please advise how to safeguard myself.

Seems a bit fishy that the owner is trying to make you sign a full-time contract and not a freelancer / consultant contract.

Just now he sent me revised letter with word mentioned Freelancing Consultant. I called him and asked to mention Freelancer in offer letter which he did now. Is it safer now?

As long as he doesn't know about your primary job it should be i guess

Couple of things you need to be careful about:
- Create another personal email for working with the other org, and if they provide you with an email, check with them if that can be made as consultant@org.com
- If possible, do not get the agreement signed in your name. Get it signed by some member of your family. Preferably the one whose PAN Card you are using
- Make sure that the new org doesn’t have any non-compete clause in the agreement. This clause isn’t applicable to freelancing contracts

I asked to send me revised letter, he has mentioned Freelancing Consultant against role offered but now I see non compete clause also, he says it’s a standard template of offer letter.
I have taken care of not sharing my own PAN Card but will be sharing relative Pan card and bank details which he only suggested, is this fine now?
Thanks for your suggestions

Why would a freelance contract have a non compete?

Don't sign it and act as a freelancer. It may be a financial & legal trap that you signed a document as employee but your wife is getting the salary.
Instead ask him to send offer letter on your wife's name, which she can sign and submit pan card. Everything legal in that scenario.
