Tier 1 - Previous Earnings ( India and UK)

[tier1aspirant]

hi friends,

Congrats for all successful Tier 1 applicants and my best wishes for all aspirants.

I am planning to apply for Tier 1. I have a query on previous earnings. Can you please clarify.

I am working in UK since Mar 2007 at the client site on deputation. I am getting my Indian Pay in addition to the UK allowance. Please let me know which of the below mentioned calculations i should be using.

Earnings Period: Mar 2007 to Feb 2008
Country of stay during this period: UK
Indian Earnings during this period: Rs, 4,00,000
UK allowance during this period: £18,000

Case 1:
---------
Indian pay = Rs 4,00,000 * 1 / 80 = £5,000
Uplift = 5,000 * 5.3 = £26,500
UK allowance = £18,000
Total = £26,500 + £18,000 = £44,500
POINTS EARNED: 45

Case 2:
---------
Indian pay = Rs 4,00,000 * 1 / 80 = £5,000
No Uplift ( Since stay is in UK, even though the earnings were made in India)
UK allowance = £18,000
Total = £5,000 + £18,000 = £23,000
POINTS EARNED: 20

Please let me know if any one of you were in the same situation and your visa has been approved.

Thanks.

Cheers!!!
