Tensed about BGV after Walmart offer, what should I do?
I have 7+ years of work experience and listed all my previous companies on my resume, except for one where I worked for just 2.5 months. I do have the experience/relieving letter for that company, but I left it out since the stint was very short.
After accepting a new offer, I received an AuthBridge BGV link. It only allowed me to enter details of 5 companies (including my current one), so I listed the same 5 companies from my resume. However, while submitting, a pop-up appeared asking about a 2.5-month gap in my work history. I explained that I had briefly joined an early-stage startup, but due to COVID-related business changes, the role ended quickly. Since my contribution was minimal, I hadn’t included it on my resume, but I mentioned that I do have the relieving letter and can provide it if required.
Now I’m worried if this would impact my background check or cause issues after joining? Could they even reject or terminate me because of this? What’s the best way to handle this situation?

It won't, don't stress. The issue would be if you mentioned a role in your CV which you havent worked.
It's reflected in my PF, so I am afraid that AuthBridge will raise a red flag and that could lead to the HR firing me.
I don't think they check the PF records except if that conpany for 2.5 months was involved in some shady business.
