Waiting for Background Verification Before Resigning: How to Handle Offer Acceptance and Notice Period Timing? (4 year's exp Capgemini India)

I've recently accepted a job offer from a CapG, but I haven't resigned from my current position yet. The reason I'm holding off on resigning is that another recruiter from the CapG informed me that if my background verification isn't successful, the job offer could be rescinded. Naturally, I want to wait for confirmation that my background verification has cleared before I resign. However, this delay is causing a bit of a dilemma. My committed start date with the new company keeps getting pushed back because of the notice period I will need to serve at my current job. Can CapG cancel my offer if I push my date of joining at the end moment? Is there any possibility to know if background verification happens before I join or not? I tried contacting HR several times but he keeps ignoring these question saying it'll happen soon, without providing any specific details My current company HR said that they usually recieve background verification enquiries after an employee has left the organisation. Has anyone else faced a similar situation? Any advice on the best course of action would be greatly appreciated!
