Hi Twisha!

Did you submit your Form 16...
I am wondering if I can submit without it.

Good that you started this thread!

I am also about to apply this weekend.

So ikon1400 could you tell us what all docs you have submitted for your past income? I hope you are claiming for the period Apr06 to Mar07...

Hi, I am not an expert. I am also about to apply for HSMP in a weeks time. But I will try and answer some of your queries...and I hope to hear from others as well...I myself is in a similar kind of a situation. This is what I feel about the doubts... 1) Payslips...I believe it is ok to have the sign...

Dear SYH,

Thank you for the quick reply. I knew the answer but just wanted to cross check. And I did not ask this question before.

~Achtung.

Hi friends, Need some urgent help. Now I am using my friend's credit card to pay for HSMP. I am filling up the Payment Slip. So for questions 1 to 8 I plan to give my details like name address surname blah blah... But for questions 11 and 14 I believe I have to put my Freind's name and his signature...

It is a US based company having offices here in India.

@SYH I really hope my caseworker thinks like you...

Well my company is not an Indian company. I checked out the site and went to the India section...it names my centre but the full name is not given there.

Huh! what do I do now?

Just attach the mail...and explain it in my cover letter...

thanks Amy for the lightening fast reply! Well just to explain my case my company is well known worldwide with XYZ with the company website as www.xyz.com. In India where I work they have their office previously named as XYZ Software India Pvt Ltd and now XYZ Semiconductor India Pvt Ltd. So effectiv...

Can I have please have someone answering my doubts. It is really urgent. Thanks!

Hi all, I am about to apply in a week's time now. I am on the verge of collecting all my docs. I had a few doubts which needs to cleared. Guys please help. I am applying from India. Period: Apr 06 to Mar 07(Financial Year) so primarily payslip and ITR will be good enough(according to guidance docs) ...

yes I believe you should be able to claim the 25 points. KJust to make things clear for you...
take your payslip and find out your Gross earning every month...then calculate it for 12 months...
the total amount you get should give you 25 points...hope this helps you...

Ok thank you Deepak for the useful info...

So if my claim period is Apr 06 to Mar 07 (the Indian financial year)

the date of the last payslip will be 1st Mar 07 or the day I received my march payslip in April 07 (say 5th Apr)....

Could you please clear this doubt as well...

Thanks a lot!

I will be applying in mid June...and my period of claim will be Apr06-Mar07...I think this period falls under the 15 month period. Could someone comment on this?

Hi all, Well I am just waiting for my ITR and once I am through I will apply HSMP. This forum has been a storehouse of information. As I understand from all the posts here that most of the rejection happens in the past income criteria I would like all the gurus here to help sort out this matter. So ...

Contact www.mbesheffield.co.uk they charge 20pounds for collecting your docs and then Fedex/UPS charges to send back the docs...just send them a mail and a guy called Frank will reply you back with all the details.

I wont be able to comment on the name issue you have...sorry.
But I just had a doubt whether we require to submit the appointment letter...I have never seen that mentioned anywhere in any of the docs.

Oho! this is so exhaustive...
I felt that many docs are not required..
Ok about NARIC it is better to go for it...For your peace of mind...But not quintessential!!!
