HSMP First Time Application

[udayr9]

Hello Everyone,

I am planning to apply for HSMP.
Currently I am on Work Permit since Nov 2006 thru an Indian company which pays me Indian Salary and UK allowance.
I have my Indian as well as UK payslips and the employer has also given me a P60 form.
How does HSMP program calculate my Gross salary .
Anyone been thru a similar situation,please throw some light on this.

Thanks,

Is the salary being paid into your A/c in India?

If so, you should compare yourself with Indian band of earnings.

This is clearly explained in the HSMP guidance notes. Would suggest a good reading of guidance notes -past-earnings section.

hope this helps,

cheers,

no venga-pal! it clearly says that the place where you live and work will be considered...

43. If you are living and working in a country but
having your income paid into a bank account
in another country your income will be
considered against the country code where
you are living and working.

Dear Uday!

41. If you have lived and worked in more than
one country during the past 15 months we
will normally assess your income over a 12-
month period against the country where you
have spent the longest period, on a pro-rata
basis. For example we consider a period of
up to 12 months in the last 15, so that if you
have spent 8 of the months in the United
Kingdom and 4 in Nigeria, we will take your
earned income in the United Kingdom, divide
it by eight and multiply it by 12 to give an
annual income figure. You will then be
allocated points appropriate to that figure. if
you wish to have your earnings calculated on
a pro-rata basis, you should supply supporting
evidence to cover the full earnings period
claimed. You need to submit the appropriate
forms of evidence for consideration for the
earnings period claimed(see below).

42. If you have been seconded overseas during
the last 15 months and your salary continues
to be paid in the normal manner overseas,
the country where you have been seconded
to and working would normally be considered.
In order for us to establish which country
code to consider your earnings against you
will need to provide evidence of where you
have been working and where your salary has
been paid for the 12-month period you wish
us to consider.
