Is it a crime to put wrong information in a salary certificate?
My whole salary including allowances in my contract is 4800 AED, my employer provided me with a salary certificate that states that my salary is 6000 AED.
Is that fraud? And if so, to whom should I report this? And what is going to happen to the employer?
Note, I have used this salary certificate to get a credit card but I have never used it, and I cancelled it.
Providing forged documents is Fraud, providing correct documents with wrong information is Fraud, using any of the mentioned two is Fraud.
So, you and your employer have - both - committed a crime. However, your crime is double because you asked for the wrong document, you submit it to a bank, you confirmed and signed that the information in it is correct.
I estimate you are the one who asked your employer for the wrongful salary certificate and you are the one who used it to open a credit card with it knowing it was a wrong detail. The main question is what is your question? What do you want to do? Do you want to put yourself and your employer in legal exposure because your relationship is not good now?
Think again :)
