Query regarding previous earning

Hi friends,

I am working in my present company for past 2 years.
My Employee letter for previous earnings only states that I am employee of this company from this date, then gives the breakup of gross salary(Monthly). It does not say that my salary was that in the claimed period.
Question1: Will this letter be accepted?

As a precaution I am providing bank statements and attested salary slips. From these 2 docs my earnings are enough to claim 35 points. But by looking at my employe letter mentioned in above para I am able to claim 40 points because my salary was hiked one year back.
Is it safe to claim 40 points even though my salary slips show income for 35 points but employee letter show earnings enough for claiming 40 points, given that my employer letter has above mentioned problem?

Question2:
Is it a good idea to claim more points in my situation ?

Thanks in advance,
andy

You should supply your income tax return and state why you are not using it as a required evidence (eg does not cover the full claim period). Only then can you provide exceptional evidence that corroborate with your payslips (eg bank statement or letter from employer).

Hi purplepple,

Thank you for the speedy reply.

I am supplying IT returns also and it does not cover the claimed period.

But what I want to know is , can I submit Letter from employer even if it only states my monthly gross salary but does not particularly state my salary for the claimed period.

best regards,
Andy

I would ask your company for a new letter stating that from date XX to date YY you earned ... gross and ... net. Make sure the earnings you are claiming on all documents match. Little differences can end up with your application being rejected, plus the easier it is for the caseworker, the more likely & more quickly you will get approved.

If you already have bank statements that corroborate with your pay slips, why would you need to submit a letter from your employer? It will just confuse the caseworker if it states a different amount.
