You receive
Provident fund contributions leave an authoritative trail of where someone worked and for how long. The Employment History API reads that trail from the UAN and returns the establishments and dates, giving you an instant, document-free cross-check of the resume before slower employer-contact verification begins.
It is the fastest employment signal available in India and the standard first step in emver's employment verification workflows, with manual verification reserved for gaps and discrepancies.

What teams ask before adding the Employment History (EPFO) API to their integration.

Employers registered for provident fund, which includes most organisations above the statutory headcount. Small or exempt employers may not appear, which is why emver pairs this with manual verification.
