My total salary is calculated based on our mutual agreement.
however, my bank statement shows both the first portion and the second portion encashed to my account.
That's why I intend to use pay slips and bank statement as evidence for first portion and letter from company and bank statement as evidence for second portion of my salary.
Do you think it makes any problem if the company letter clearly states my total salary and second portion for each month?
Firstly the first portion is directly credited into your account againts which you are issued a formal salary slip. The term which appears in your bank statement is "Salary" for all such credits.
Secondly the second portion is paid to you by cheque which you are required to clear into your account. Therefore the case worker will easily identify that its not your salary as clearing is through cheque.
What you can do is take a certificate from your employer stating that your second portion is bonus or incentive which is paid to you through cheques.
Also i suggest that you take an good immigration consultant's advice on it.
Thank you very much Guaravd for your answer. Hopefully, my bank statement does not clearly states the term "Salary" for the first portion of my monthly salary. Aside from that, I will speak to my manager to mention the second portion as bonus in the letter.
However, the unclear point for me is that why an official letter from my company clearly stating "the second portion is also part of my salary" is not satisfying for the Officer. Did you see anything in the guidance pointing out to this issue?
The reason it will not satisfy the officer is that as per guideline You should not send payslips with a certificate from your employer, because UKBA consider both of these documents to be from the same source and you are required to claim income from 2 different sources...
Therefore you need to submit your salary slip along with bank statements as both of these documents are from 2 different source and in your case the second option is not covered in your pay slips hence you cannot claim that income.
Now If you decide to skip payslip and submit certificate from employer which will display your salary amount and income from second portion then it will not get tallied with your bank statement.
The best thing suitable for you is to claim your second portion as Dividend
Kindly find the guidelines for Claiming Income thorugh Dividend Vouchers:
dividend vouchers – if you were paid through a combination of salary and dividends and the dividend details are not included on the wage slips. These should confirm both the gross and net dividend paid. You should provide a separate dividend voucher (or payment advice slip if shown there) for each dividend payment to cover the whole period claimed.
I will again suggest your case is little complicated hence take advice of good immigration consultant.
