We only consider actual earnings, and will not consider earnings claimed on a pro rata basis. For example, if you have worked part-time you cannot try to claim for what you might have earned if it was full-time work.

Earnings will not be taken into account if you were in breach of the immigration laws when you made the earnings.

The uplift ratio for India is 5.3 (assuming that you are from India).
So, 450000 X 5.3 = 2385000, when converted into pounds is 32537 (today's rate in oanda.com is 73.30) and you will get 35 points for that as it falls into 32000-34999 band. But, because it is very close to the lower limit and if the exchange rate goes to somewhere around 74.6, then you will get only 30 points . Hope that helps.
