letter from employer vs Form 16

[gherajesh]

Hi,,

I am going to apply from india for Tier 1 General. I have "bank statements" and "Form 16" as a proof of my previous earnings.
Are they sufficient.

Also I have printed copy of "Form 16" which is stamped and signed by company. It doesnot contain contact details. Will it be fine????

Regards.

Form 16 doesn't corroborate with your bank statement. You better get either payslips or letter from employer stating gross-net salary monthly.

What would be an ideal format for this letter from employer??

I am having problems in obtaining it as Chetan mentioned. They issue only mentioning income that I have earned in one year, not monthly. They just say for these tweleve months I have received this total income which is free from tax due to a national law. Is it okay?

I would appreciate if seniors respond to it.

You need to get letter which mention month wise salary (gross and net) which corroborates your bank statements. Format is same as the one adviced by tvn_ramesh above.

Well, you need something which corroborate you bank statement. Unless you have that, how else you gonna prove your total gross income as bank statement will only have net salary mentioned.

Alternatively, if your gross salary=net salary=bank statement figures then sum(mentioned in company letter) = sum(net salary in bank statement). Just a thought.But this is only presuming your gross and net salary are same(as you mentioned that no tax due to law).

Yes, when they say my fellowship was ..... for last twelve months, it is exactly the same amount of SUM of salaries which my bank statments show for last one year. They did not mention gross and net income separately in the letter as it is free of tax, but they included the clause of national law in the letter stating that this salary was free of tax.
