Question on documents before Offer Letter

My cousin is joining this small (15 people) agency/startup and has been asked these

IMO Previous employer's offer letter and payslips are kinda sus? Thoughts?

P.S. Offer letter has still not been processed

What should be shared and what not?

In my case, I have never given Previous employer's offer letter. It is just plain wrong

Offer letter is just to confirm the joining date if it's not mentioned in the relieving letter

This startup sounds like a nosy aunty at a wedding. Payslips and offer letters are personal, not public gossip. Refuse.

I was asked offer letter and every single time that I received hike in previous org(document proof of that) + any promotions + payslips. The intention was to see my growth in previous org. It was during offer rollout/negotiations phase

Depends on the intention, don't see anything wrong with this.

I was asked the same too, after clearing few rounds of interview with HCL Tech, Bangalore. The HR asked me for to share them all thr above details including my current company offer letter, including my salary expectations. Apparently I had cleared all the rounds of interview according to them, but after sharing all these details, they didn't send me any acknowledgement/rejection letter or offer letter. There was no further communication at all after that. So basically it's not just the start-ups even tech giants play this nosy aunty roles.
