Previous Earnings

[confused234]

Hi,
I am currently working in UK for an Indian IT company. In the past 12 months I have been in UK for 10 months and have been working in India in between for 2 months.
On this basis, can I prorate my 10 months UK earnings for the full 12 months and claim those points?
What evidence would I have to show for previous earnings then?
Would I need to keep only my 10 months UK payslips or would I need to include to 2 months India Payslips to show that I was still employed by the same company during that period?

Please advise!
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
You can claim for 10 months in UK. Regarding two months in India, you can attach the salary slips of indian salary alongwith the other 10 months slips.
Mention it specifically that you are claiming for particular months. No issues with it. For more guidance, refer to caseworkers guidance notes.

In which case, can you still claim UK Experience points, probably NOT!

Thanks a lot!
As I was in india in aug-sept 2007, I would not be able to provide tax returns for the 2 months. Would bank statements and salary slips alone do? Do I need to specifically mention the reason for not including the indian tax return in my covering letter?

And regarding UK experience, can I not claim the points as I have more than £16000 UK earnings in the past 1 year?

Regarding two months, basically required evidences always are ITR and wageslips. You can tick mark the exception column with bank statements.
So bank statements and wageslip will be fine as ITR cant be available for current financial year. Tell them in india, i will only get it by june/july next year.

I dint understand your second query.
cheers
