You can put Travel date to a max. of 3months postdated; dont send incomplete application. which can cause the rejection of ur application..

Ramesh,
thanks for your quick response. i think you are write . its always better to put some date and complete the application. i think i will give some future date in the 3 months time frame. but tell me do they really give future dated visa?
thanks

ECB9.5 What if applicant is not intending to travel straight away to the UK
The ECO should check the applicant's visa application form (VAF) for the proposed date of travel in order to prevent unnecessary applications for an extension of stay, and possible claims for a refund of the extension fee.
Where an applicant may not intend or be able to travel to the UK immediately following their application: the ECO has discretion to defer the 'effective' date for up to three months after entry clearance has been authorised.
