Points Claimed: 75

I. Qualification: 30
i have engineering degree recognized by a UK NRIC and it is listed in the Points Based Calculator
Evidences:
Original Degree
Consolidated Statement of Marks
ALL semester wise statement of Marks ( Even though statement of marks is not required i have just included to be safer side)

II. Previous Earnings: 30
As part of my employment i will be getting Onsite Pay tax free (Company is paying group tax) and offshore basic salary.
i have claimed my previous earnings based on my Onsite + Offshore pay, even though there is no difference in the points that i am getting by adding offshore salary.
Offshore salary should be converted to UK GBP and we should not use any uplift ratio.
Evidences:

1) Last 12 Months Pay slips - Onsite+Offshore
i have submitted the color prints from the PDF files which i got throgh email.
Pay slips has company logo and name, address mentioned on that. I haven’t took any attestation on those.

2) Bank statements showing all the salary payments that i have claimed.
i have submitted statements from 2 banks ( 1 from India - offshore salary, 1 from uk - uk salary and Maintenance funds)

i have obtained latest 3 months statements from the bank branch. They printed the statements on the bank letter head and my address got overlapped (printed) on bank name and logo on the letter head. I have got those stamped and signed by the bank official. as per the old guidance bank logo and name should be clearly visible and I was in a doubt that Home office will reject my application based on this. But as per the new guide lines statements printed from the internet account will be accepted if they are just stamped by the bank. I have sent the new statements to the ukba,croydon office, but it looks they didnt reach the case worker as those were not present in the documents that has been returned back to me.
