Congratulations Sathish!
This is great news!

You mentioned that your earnings period pertain to March 2006 to October 2006. Since the tax year is not over yet how did you get P60. Or Does the P60 pertain to previous year?

[sathishxxx]

Hi

The P60 only covered upto April 5th 2006 and only the salary slips covered after that period

Sathish,

Thanks for the information.

Just one more question. Did you get your bank statements signed and stamped by the bank?

[sathishxxx]

No. Just sent the normal statement sent by bank in the post.

Also printed the statements for the past months from online banking and sent
