Highlighting Moonlighting!

In the last couple of years, one has heard these words more than often – Covid and Lockdown. And along with came another word which made news – Moonlighting. And this is connected to the IT industry. For many, moonlighting is not ideal, but it’s not cheating. Is it ethical to do more than one job in India?

Recently one of my readers sent me an interesting article on Moonlighting. I am reproducing the same for the benefit of my readers. You will understand the term moonlighting and what it means and why it’s in the news. And, how an unassuming PF caught up with them and exposed this moonlighting. The end result being, a large number of IT guys lost their jobs for breaking their contracts.

MOONLIGHTING - Rohit Bhardwaj

When I first read about this term I was confused, what is this? 300 people got fired because of this? I enquired and came to know that IT professionals in their Work From Home avtaar joined other companies who were also in Work From Home mode.

Same competency, double delivery. Two different laptops, same WiFi , catering to two different clients - all from the comfort of own home, in own hometown. In both networks/ jobs performing exceedingly well - just to avoid suspicion. It was impossible to catch them.

Then who caught them? The most innocent looking, unassuming, always in the background - Provident Fund Contribution. Govt mandated that PF contribution has to be deposited regularly and it’s violation was a serious offence.

Lo behold, as all Aadhar, PAN numbers are taken by banks to open salary account, same are used to deposit PF, same are required by companies to do back ground check. Systems are so beautifully integrated at the back end that it was next to impossible for these moonlighters to create two identities both financially and demographically.

So the PF runs a daily De-Duplication algorithm to check if someone has paid double accidentally. In this case they found out that - there are accounts of individuals, where contributors are multiple. This was reported to companies, and the entire Bhanumati ka kunaba came down crashing. This is the power of Digital India working at grass roots level to weed out corruption. GOI saw this potential years ago and has been incessantly prodding Govt organisations to go digital. Today our UPI and Aadhar technology stack is the most sought after in the world.

In the background, India is integrating all of its islands of excellence. All data bases of Govt are moving towards unified integration at a very fast pace. An open architecture where every database talks to other seamlessly without human intervention.

We are the only country in the world where delivery of citizen centric services through technology has matured to a level where it’s become way of life.

In fact, the two-wheeler category, which was continuously showing weakness when compared to pre-Covid months, also registered single-digit growth,” said Manish Raj Singhania, president, FADA.

In the two-wheeler space, the sales numbers increased from 242,213 in Navratri 2021 to 369,020 units in Navratri 2022. The current year’s numbers are 20 per cent higher than 2020 and four per cent higher than 2019. “When compared to Navratri 2019 (the pre-Covid season), all categories showed positive momentum with two-wheelers, three wheelers, commercial vehicles, passenger vehicles and tractors growing by four per cent, 31 per cent, 37 per cent, 59 per cent and 90 per cent respectively,” Singhania said.
