Thank you Aruni and VKS for the clarification. But while filling the application I selected the second check box even though applying for TIER1 Extension from HSMP. Is it an issue?

Hi,

I checked with the home office by calling and they said that there is no problem if we use version 01/10. Currently they are looking at that version only.
