Regarding Previous Salary

[gaur_gaurav]

Company paid an advance of £5,000 to me at the time of flying from my country to UK. This allowance is deducted from my monthly salary ( £1,000 every month).
There is no physical transfer of money from my Company to my HSBC UK account (£5,000) as there was no UK Bank Account opened till than.

Company gave me the advance to arrange the basic necessities till I can open my bank account in UK.
This was in the form of Travels Cheque and Cash (£4,500 Traveler Cheque and £500 Cash) and this amount is deducted every month which is mentioned in my salary slip.

Query: Advances which are not transfered in the bank account and which are deducted from the salary every month can be considered under the Previous Earning?

Advances have nothing to do with your "previous income". For example, PF contribution by the employee is always a deduction from salary, but that doesn't mean that your salary is any less! And that (PF contribution) is not paid into your bank account, right?? But it is still part of your earnings.

Gross salary before tax declared on your payslip is what is considered as "previous income". And points will be based on this figure (gross salary) - subject to submission of prescribed documentary evidence.

As long as your net salary payout in the payslip matches with the credit entry in your bank account statement, I don't see a reason for you to worry.

Ask yourself this - Does the "gross" salary reflected in your salary slip become any less just because you asked your employer to loan you some money (in advance) from your salary?? No, the "gross" salary doesn't change!! Only the net payout falls (temporarily).

If you still want to play safe, get a letter from your employer to state that you were given advance from "your own salary" on your request, and as a repayment for that loan, XYZ amount has been deducted every month for ABC months from your salary. (personal opinion, this will do you more harm than good).

Under what head are these deductions reflected in your payslips?

Hi Sudha,

Thank you for the above explaination becasue I am in a exact same situation as gaurav so I thought to continue here only instead of raising new thread.

In my case this deduction is mentioned as "Salary Advance: xxx GBP" under "Deduction Head" section of Payslip.

Do I still need to take a letter for a safety side? Will BA ask for the proof of how this is being paid? i.e. The second evidence of amount paid. I am bit scared becase they have mentioned in the guide that at leat two evidence needs to be provided from difference source for money paid.

Please can you help on this?

Your help would be highly appriciated..

Thank you.
