previous earnings -- pound value decreases

Post by mclrajan » Sat Mar 13, 2010 3:00 am

Hi,,

For indian rupee to pound conversion, which exchange rate we should consider. This doubt arises for me as the pound value decreases considerably . Earlier I was not eligible , now it seems I am eligible for the same salary.

An applicant should use the closing. exchange rate on the OANDA website at http://www.oanda.com/convert/classic on the last day of the period for which he/she has claimed earnings in that currency.

I have the plan to show the earnings from March-09 to Feb-10 .. My last salary credited on Feb 26 2010. On Feb 26 , Pound against rupees is 70.6030. So my band is == (Total_Gross_Salary/70.6030)*5.3 . Should this be the fine?

Please do check once again as the lady at the VFS told me that they have fixed the GBP to INR rate and it will remain same till further notice. Still they consider 1 GBP = 80 INR. Thats why the TIER1(G) fee is 54,000 INR even though the conversion rate at Oanda is 1 GBP = 68 INR. I am not sure but do check before applying. Thanks...

i doubt as guidlines clearly say that exchange rate is calculated as of the last day for which the prev earnings are claimed ,,, now if VFS dosent cares about this ,,, its bad :(

Not true. You should take a print out of the policy guidance show to that lady at VFS.

127. An applicant should use the closing exchange rate on the OANDA website at http://www.oanda.com/convert/classic on the last day of the period for which he/she has claimed earnings in that currency. This is an independent website, for which we are not responsible.
I think you have to take Net Salary instead of Gross (Net = Gross - Deductions) as Net Salary is the amount that is going to be credited in your bank account which you are going to submit as Previous Earnings proof along with Salary Slips.
113. If an applicant is in salaried employment, we will assess the applicant’s gross salary before tax. This includes self-employed applicants who draw a salary from their businesses. If the applicant earned the money in a country with no tax system, we will consider his/her total earnings for the period.

It means that Lady misguided me. She was acting like a caseworker and putting objection on everything. Please do take the printout of the guidelines in case she say the same thing again.

Am sorry I dont want to misguide anybody but shared what I experienced at VFS New Delhi.
