Fake experience certificate

(Querist) 24 December 2012 This query is : Resolved 
Hi,

My husband's friend is working in a gulf country. He is a doctor.
His wife is an engineer and was working in India before wedding. She had resigned that job just after marriage and went with her husband.
After few months, she get bored of sitting at home for whole day and doing nothing!
So she decided to do job there. But in that country there were only few companies
having openings matching with her previous experience.
She struggled a lot to get a job there! But failed every time. Finally she decided to change the job profile and switch in such a field which is having large scope and huge openings in gulf countries.
Now she is planning to show fake experience by creating a fake experience certificate of an Indian Petroleum company.
And using that, she will try for a job in Petroleum industry there.

In this case, is it OK to use a fake certificate OR show false experience?
If she gets job based on fake certificate and if the new company doesn't do verification of the employee background, is there any risk in future?
Suppose she caught by the company in the future about fake experience; is there any chance of arrest? OR it depends only on the company's policy?
In above case, she is using fake exp. certificate of an Indian company in other company. By doing this, she is doing scam with both the companies.
Are there any laws in India or in gulf countries about such kind of fraud?


**** I just want to save her from worst circumstances in the future. So please guide me *******

Dear Querist
according to section 465 and 471 of IPC is related to this offence
Section 465: Punishment for forgery.-- Whoever commits forgery shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to two years, or with fine, or with both

section 471: Using as genuine a forged document.-- Whoever fraudulently or dishonestly uses as genuine any document which he knows or has reason to believe to be a forged document, shall be punished in the same manner as if he had forged such document.
Feel Free To Call

Agreed with what Mr Qureshi said.

I will add that she intends to use this certificate in gulf country and should ascertain what is the punishment for cheating and forgery there. In some gulf countries sit is chopping of hand and flogging. In any case some light sentence like Indian cannot be expected in Gulf country as cheating is unethical in Islam (more than any other religion).

1. The punishment will be as per the Law of the said Gulf Country,
2. Tell your friend to find out from the law books of that Country regarding punishment for such cheating,
3. Let her take considered decision in this regard.

Thanks you all for your advise and heads up call...!!!
I will talk to her in detail about the forged document and laws....
Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Expert) 04 January 2013
the best thanks to this forum will be if your friends abandons the idea of forgery and does not bring bad name to the country in a gulf jail
Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 04 January 2013
I endorse the best suggestion of Sudhir.
Guest (Expert) 04 January 2013
Her action would nerely be a suicidal effort, as the laws of gulf countries are quite strict and she would merely be preparing for landing in to jail there for indefinite time.
