pay claiming on secondment

[sana9]

Hi
I'm based out of India n working in a company. I'm in usa on secondment from oct 2007. I'm currently earning two salaries(per diem in usa account + indian pay in indian account).
How do I claim my earning points.
If i consider usa per diem i'm not eligible and so cannot apply from usa. whereas if i combine both the salaries or just the indian pay i'm good to apply.
i'm completing my assignment and going back to india in oct 2008.
my question is after going to india can i claim my earning points only through indian pay.

1. Duplicate posts wont help you.
2. Please read "Past Earnings section" in Tier 1 guidance notes carefully. Also use BIA points calculator to determine your income.

3. As a hint, the country where you work determines your income band (and not the country/countries where you are paid).
4. Some answers:

If i consider usa per diem i'm not eligible and so cannot apply from usa. whereas if i combine both the salaries or just the indian pay i'm good to apply.

First determine the income band and hence uplift ratio of country you have worked in (not where you are paid). Convert all earnings (in whatever currencies) to gbp. Apply uplift ratio to the total income. That would determine your salary for Tier 1 application.

Yes, but you cannot apply uplift ratio of 5.3 to Indian income.
