Indian salary + UK allowance (applying from within UK)

[maybe]

Hi,

I am currently on a work permit in UK. I came to UK 3 months back. When working in UK, my company gives Indian salary and a fixed monthly UK living allowance.

While applying for Tier1 visa, Can I show both, my Indian salary and the UK allowance for these 3 months to claim points for "Previous Earnings"?

Thanks,

Yes you can, but you cannot apply an uplift of 5.3 to Indian salary earned while you were in uk.

Also read Tier 1 policy guidance notes for knowing what type of allowances are eligible to be included in "past earnings" and which allowances are not.

Could you please elaborate on the uplift (or guide me to particular online link where I can read more)

Read Tier 1 policy guidance. And search the forum for information already available on how/when uplift factor is to be used (or not to be used).
