Hi there, in this situation you shall send a legal notice to the employer for illegal termination. Further, the negative BGV is not a sole ground for termination.
It's the duty of the employer to provide you with a legitimate opportunity of hearing before making any decisions.
It's advisable to contact me and provide details as to your employment agreement for further assistance.

Based on the facts stated, the employer appears to have taken adverse action without providing you a copy of the alleged negative Background Verification (BGV) report or a reasonable opportunity to respond. Preserve all emails, messages, appointment letter, offer letter, salary slips and any communication relating to the BGV issue. Send a written email immediately seeking (i) a copy of the BGV report, (ii) details of the adverse findings, and (iii) clarification regarding your employment status. If the company has terminated your services solely on the basis of an undisclosed BGV report, you may consider issuing a legal notice seeking disclosure of records, reinstatement (where applicable), payment of dues, and compensation for wrongful action, depending upon the terms of your employment contract. The exact remedies will depend on whether you were on probation, the nature of your employment, and the termination clause contained in your appointment letter.

In your case there needs to be an appropriate procedure to terminate your services and since there are irregularities from the employer, you may seek legal remedy of reinstatement or compensation for your monetary loss.

Preserve all emails, messages and offer letter. Demand a copy of the BGV report in writing. If terminated without due process, you may approach the Labour Authority or seek legal remedies as per the concerned provisions of law.

You should immediately ask the company in writing for the full BGV report, the exact reason for the negative remark, and the basis or source of that report, because if they are acting on a vague or unfair verification without sharing details, you should be given a fair chance to explain and submit documents; you should also keep records of all emails, messages, and calls, reply only in writing, and share supporting papers like your offer letter, relieving letter, salary slips, PF records, ID proof, or experience letters if there is any mistake; if the company still refuses to share the report or continues to take adverse action, you should move to the next step by sending a legal notice or raising the matter through the company’s grievance process, as BGV is meant to verify facts and not to punish you unfairly.
