When was your salary increased and why?
Was the increase just for you or was it company wide?
P60 doesn't matter because UKVI has access to your HMRC records.The figures on the P60 wouldn't count because UKVI knows that there are allowances that you might earn that are not regular. So as it stands, your salary has increased from £30,400 to £36,000. Everything points towards your salary getting increased to meet ILR. Why this is not bad in itself, your sponsor should have notified UKVI through the SMS about the increase and stating the reason for the increase.
This is a common issue, and most people in similar situations usually get their application delayed while the company is audited for Tier 2 compliance.
Your sponsor must be able to prove that the salary increase was genuine and sustainable.
It is also possible that you might not have any issue. Only time will tell

You mean everybody in the company got 20% increase?

if that's the case then they dont need to report it as it was an annual increase. But if for any reason, you got more salary increase than others in the company, your sponsor must notify UKVI and explain why. it is better to notify UKVI as soon as the increase took place than to wait for UKVI to find out after you have submitted your application.
it is better to be straightforward with this than to try to hide it because UKVI will know. As I said before, there is no issue with salary increase it is the genuineness and sustainability that UKVI will like to establish.

If you are sure everybody in the company got the same salary increase and at the same time as you, then you have nothing to worry about.

All the best

Defo take ALL your P60s - I got caught out without it and they couldn't give me a decision on the day of the premium appointment.
