I am currently employed at Company A (with a 60-day NP, which hasn't started yet) has been approached by Company B. Company B has issued an offer letter dated April 14, asked me to sign NDA, submit BGV documents, and share personal documents (PAN, UAN, Aadhaar). Org B has said they will issue a second offer letter once the 60-day NP at Org A is over, and will only update PF after that. Payment for the work done in between will be shared in relative's account. How to approach this situation?

This arrangement has several red flags:
Payment to relative’s account is the biggest concern. This means Company B wants them to work without being on their official payroll — no PF, no ESI, no TDS under the person’s PAN. This is essentially undocumented/off-the-books employment, which creates tax liability issues for both the person and the relative.
Two offer letters is unusual. A legitimate company issues one offer with a defined joining date. The “second offer after NP” structure suggests they want labor now but don’t want the legal obligations of an employer yet.
BGV + NDA before formal employment — sharing PAN, UAN, Aadhaar is fine for a genuine onboarding pipeline, but combining that with off-books payment is contradictory. Why collect compliance documents if you’re paying under the table?
What this person should do:
Ask Company B to either wait for the 60-day NP to finish and join properly, or negotiate an early release/buyout with Company A. If Company B truly values them, they’ll wait 60 days.
If Company B insists on this shadow-employment arrangement, walk away — it exposes the person to income tax scrutiny (unexplained credits in relative’s account), zero labor law protections, and potential issues with Company A if they discover moonlighting during the notice period.
