Post by coolsats » Sun Jun 08, 2008 3:09 pm

Hi Friends,

Yes you can as long as the shift allowance is not paid as reimbursement for monies the you have previously outlaid
The other query is that till data i have worked in two companies, i have the releiving letter from the first company, what document should i show from the company am working in presently, can i show the offer letter, if something else do let me know.
Sorry, its not clear to me. What do you need the offer letter/relieving letter for?

you just need the salary slips and the bank statements.

Well no it does not shows up as a re imbusrement, it comes with the net salary only.

Do i need to show the releiving letter from my past organization.
AS i have worked in two companies do i need to show them any documents that i have worked in two companies.
I have the releiving letter from the last company, so i can show that, but for my present organization. What document should i show them to suppport my present organiztion.

It is not absolutely required that you submit the relieving letter/joining letters. the salary slips and the bank statements showing regular deposits of salary from the companies concerned are sufficient. You can indicate in your cover letter that you woked for Company A from xxxx to xxx and then with company B from xxxx.

If you really feel like, then send the relieving letter from the last company and the offer/joining letter from the current company. This is not required however,as per the guidance notes.

Just to quote from the guidance notes (India):
C3.46 Earnings do not have to have been with a single employer.
C3.48 Earnings may include, but are not limited to:

• Salaries (includes full-time, part-time, bonuses);
• Earnings derived through self-employment;
• Earnings derived through business activities;
• Statutory maternity pay and contractual maternity pay;
• Allowances (such as accommodation, schooling or car allowances) which
form part of an applicant’s remuneration package;
• Dividends from investments, where it is a company in which the applicant is active in the day to day management, or where the applicant receives the dividend as part of their remuneration package;
• Property rental income, where this constitutes part of the applicant’s business; and
• Payment in lieu of notice.

Allowances

C3.50 Allowances (such as accommodation allowances, schooling allowances paid in respect of an applicant’ children) will only be included in the assessment of an applicant’s previous earnings where they form part of an applicant’s remuneration package and are not being paid as reimbursement for monies the applicant has previously outlaid.

C3.61 For the purposes of paragraph 245G of the Immigration Rules, the documents specified are as follows:

1. Payslips
These should be either formal payslips or on company-headed paper. If payslips are on un-headed paper or the applicant only receives online pay slips, they will be required to obtain their employer’s signature and stamp on a print-out to authenticate the evidence. Where provided, payslips must cover the whole period claimed (i.e. if payslips are generated monthly, each monthly payslip for the period claimed must be provided).

2. Personal bank statements showing the payments made to the applicant
Bank statements provided must be on official bank stationery, and must show each of the payments that the applicant is claiming. If the applicant wishes to submit electronic bank statements from an online account they should also provide a supporting letter from their bank on company headed paper confirming the documents authenticity.
