I asked the same question here:

Reply is: "I would suggest you use the dates which you actually worked to get that salary. Regarding the pay date, you could explain about it in your cover letter or salary explanation statement."

Many Thanks for your response, is it possible to use either of the period ? Is it an option or preference ??? As the only difference is exchange rate ? Do we need seperate letter /payslip etc to claim, if we are submitting app based on salary in bank date....

I know somebody who had just recently submitted application based on BANK DATE rather than Period ...Bit lost...
