Time period to make the first entry to UK

[babumk]

I would like to know if there is a stipulated time period within which we have to make the first entry to UK from the visa validity start date.

Is it acceptable to enter UK say after, 4 months from the validity start date? Also does this have a consequence on visa extension at the end of 3 years ?

There is no time limit. I entered UK on last Sunday, 13 months after getting Tier 1 visa. The immigration officer did not ask a single question regarding my late entry.
