I have a query on previous earnings:
I am providing the following two forms of evidence:
1. Signed / sealed salary slips
2. ITR
and
3. Bank statements
And in my case, ITR does not cover my claimed period , hence the 3rd evidence above of bank statement under special consideration.
I am not providing employer letter because the guidance document says that if ITR form does not cover your claimed period then other forms of
evidence should be provided such as bank statement / letter from employer.
Also I noted that it says you should provide "either" of the following (any one will suffice)
1. Bank statements and/or
2. Employer letter
Hence my 3rd evidence under "special considerations" as shown above is Bank statements. I am not choosing Employer letter as it is difficult to get.
All looks fine till here. Now my question:
The guidance document says under previous earnings section that "we will calculate your gross earnings before tax" and "both evidences must be
corroborative".
Now salary slips mention salary before tax and also ITR mentions earnings before tax , but in my case the ITR is not covering claimed period. So I
am going for Bank statements.
But bank statements show *only NET salary* i.e. what has been earned after tax deductions, and bank statements do not mention anything about
gross earnings (salary before tax).
Now when they compare my salary slips and bank statements for "corroborating" my *gross earnings* for the claimed period , how are the figures
shown by these two evidences (i.e. salary slips and bank statements) going to be same?
One(salary slips) shows gross AND net salary and other(bank slips) shows ONLY *net* salary?
Another question: So in above case are they going to "corroborate" my *net* salary and grant me points for the "Previous Earnings" area based on
net salary? In this case I would get lesser points as net salary will always be less than gross salary.
I would be very grateful if any one can shed light on my case and provide some clues to answer my questions. Thank you.
