How was this work-from-home infidelity discovered by Wipro, which recently fired 300 of its employees for concurrently working for other IT firms? The corporation only described these "moonlighters" as "cheaters"; nonetheless, a Twitter user's notion is suddenly becoming viral.
According to stock market investor Rajiv Mehta, who has more than 20,000 followers and primarily tweets about the stock market, these IT experts "in their work from home avatar" joined other organisations that were also in WFH mode.

He described the side job as "same competency, double delivery," using "two different laptops, the same WiFi, and catering to two distinct clients—all from the comfort of one's own home, in one's own hometown."

“It was impossible to catch them. Then who caught them?” he wrote.

He then claimed to have the most innocent-appearing, unassuming, always-in-the-background Provident Fund Contribution in response to his own inquiry.

A portion of an employee's pay is withheld by employers as part of the government's PF retirement fund programme, and employers are also required to make a contribution.

According to Mr. Mehta, "PF contribution has to be submitted frequently (by the company) and its violation is a significant offence."

He explained that's where digital document linking comes in.

"As all banks require Aadhaar and PAN numbers to open payroll accounts, the same are utilised to deposit PF... It was nearly difficult for these moonlighters to construct two identities, both monetarily and demographically, because the systems are so flawlessly interwoven at the backend, according to Mr. Mehta.

According to him, the PF authorities use a "daily de-duplication algorithm to check if someone has paid double mistakenly," which is how the dual employment was discovered. "They discovered that there exist accounts of persons with many donors."

The PF administration has not verified this.

However, Mr. Mehta claimed that after this duplication "was reported to firms," the "entire Bhanumati ka kunaba fell down crashing."

Though he has not explained how he arrived at this notion or whether he has evidence, the tweet that launched the thread on October 10 just after noon had over 10,000 replies in an hour.

The government's Digital India project, as well as the connected infrastructure, received praise from Mr. Mehta for "working at grassroots level to weed out corruption."

Vicky, however, a different user, aimed to provide some balance: "The majority of job contracts expressly prohibit moonlighting by employees. Not only is it unethical, but it also puts the company at great risk."

"In my opinion, a completely unrelated business or something that is not connected to the current work is OK," he continued.
