The flip side is, fin return of this short term gain ppl would be losing out on remittances back to India (if they intend to) in the future if sterling continues to weaken. A weak pound even otherwise spells doom for a economy like UK which is overly dependent on raw material/finished goods imports. Vacations to continental Europe and US are already so unattractive.

The FX history (http://www.oanda.com/convert/fxhistory) shows that the pound has been rising briskly against the rupee in the past 10 days. Hope fully, this is not a temporary new-year rise and the pattern continues (fingers crossed). With gods grace, the sunny days will be back again.. and soon !!

Another thing which I wanted to point to (perhaps most people already know about it) is to get a bankers cheque as mentioned in the VFS site to pay the fees. You just pay the visa fee. No additional charges !!
