Hi Umesh Sethi,

I covered the reason for claiming exceptional circumstance in the Application form and cover letter. I justified by saying it that IT return is a self assessment document, and Original Form 16 is already submitted to IT authorities, so I sent the letter from employer for Total Earnings (Gross/Tax/Net), Photocopy of the Form 16 for past 5 months (I get the Form 16 for each month worked), I also got the Total decuction by the employer during the past 12 months.

did u manaully fill the form or typed and print.
what is binded portfolio. do we have to keep in any folder.
i had all the certicicates and transcripts laminated. is that okay.

pl also answer my last update. whether all the photocopied pages for gross earnings need to be attested or last page is fine

[nnj10]

Hi Freebirds,

I fill up the form electronically. Only some portion on the first page (Payment details) I filled manualy with pen.

I used a binder portfolio. It was a transparent plastic folder in which I palced the documents; to protect during transit so it does not ger folded or mutilated.

I had some certificates laminated, rest all printed. I dont see any issue with the lamination.

How come your earning letter was 7 page?
In any case if it is 7 page, I suggest if possible get a stamp and signature on all pages
(Just a suggestion)
(My bank statement was print signed on the official letter head of bank, so i did not get additional stamp or manual signature on that, I have already sent my application)

congratulations jilani.

friends i have a small clarification ...my total sal for 12 months coming up to 7555 pounds and i can claim 45 for that.
this is from dec-05 till nov30-06. fine....but december'05 sal includes 7 days of nov salary as I have joined my current employer on nov 23'05. so in the december'05 month payslip some 6500rs has been mentioned as arrears, but Nowhere it is mentioned in the december 05 payslip that this rs 6500 belongs to nov 7 days sal....is it okay to go ahead and submit the application or whether the caseworker makes it out..that Nov month 7 days sal is incl in dec month...pl advise what u guys think

[paramjit2k]

Hi freebirds..go ahead...

Anythingmentioned in sal slip is ur earning,,,,

Its ur luck u got that in Dec sal...

Best of luck

[freebirds]

param, u may be right..but what am scared of is...the hsmp team either gives u the full points u claim if everything is ok or they dont give at all..
i mean, if i am claiming 45 points for 7500+, and just in case my sal falls to 7490 as per his calculation..he may not give 40 thinking i fall in 7000+ band..he might give 0 for it..this is only my thinking...
if i am wrong pl correct me..

[paramjit2k]

Hi Azhar G,

Seems they r quite fast for out of country also..

I did used TNT Express...

My APP reached them on 18 Dec...But in next 5 working days (18-22), i didnt even got reference no...

Dont know what is the problem...I hope positive decision is made...

[paramjit2k]

Freebirds,,

It s clearly mentioned in the guidance notes...

anything earned shud be mentioned in the sal slip..so if u got in Dec that is ur luck...U have not made ur sal slip at ur home...

Ur calculation s perfectly right, Coz u need to calculate earning between Dec to nov i guess, so what sal slips shows for these months is ur earning...

I had same case, my performance is paid quarterly and luckily i got it in the Dec...and Dec is in my claimed period

So go ahead...Best of luck

[freebirds]

well thats ur performance salary...but mine is november 7days salary..i too get perf. sal every 3 months...now 2 such months pay to the extent of 10000 is pending..it is earned i.e accrued but not paid to me..and i cant claim..however..this 7 days salary..belongs to nov..and am a little worried just in case they might check...lets c

[paramjit2k]

If incase they check, They will check, what was ur sal in Dec, not every part of it...

Hope it clears...

Pray to god, ur app does not goto verification stage, coz it may delay it by even 2-3 months...

And " IT covered till Nov 2006" ... Do u mean u paid advance tax and have the stamped receiving of that ????

IT covered till Nov 2006 and payslips for the same.will this be enough to login my application umesh.

Hi Pravtech,

If your employer can issue you a provisional Form-16 (may not be possible mostly) or a letter stating the total Tax deduction, and the same matching in the earnings letter, I guess that is a good evidence to establish the salary earnings. In addition I suggest you provide a bank statement covering the period claimed, clearly showing the salary credit.

NNJ10

[pravtech]

U mean to say that in form 16,i need to mention the employers PAN number to the file form 16 rt??one problem with my bank account is ,i have a joint account wer my salary is being deposited every month.can i send the bankstatement also???i dont have an indivisual account .

thanx

[nnj10]

Hi Pravtech,

Your first question is not clear to me.
Second Q. In the joint bank account, does the other account holder's salary also get credited?
If no, there will be salary credite referenc only for your salary. The case worker can match the same salary amount in the employer letter and the salry slip; if you are submitting. That should be good enough to establish the earnings.

Hi Prav, thanks for your reply. What you have done seems to solve the whole problem.

It would be beneficial to the whole group if you can highlight how we can do the same by
a) requesting it department - any specific department to call within IT deptt... or should we use Right to Info. Act.
b) what roughly is content of letter.

Please do tell if its not much trouble.

Thanks in Advance.

[pravtech]

hi nnj10,
yes.other account holders salary is also crediting in the bank statement..itz like every 10th of a month my salary is crediting ,and the other acc holder salary on every 31st of a month.so both the a/c holders salarys r reflecting in the statement, will that be a problem ?? kindly gimme a suggestion.
m confused.

thanx
