Some Queries on Tier 1 - Please help

Would request seniors advice on my below questions.

1. I have an old passport (containing a very old photo of mine and damaged to an extent) which I renewed and replaced with a new passport last year. Should I send both passports for Tier 1 G application or just new one will do?

Yes, to be on safe side. (Also I remember they ask for all the passports, if I am not wrong, I don't want to mis-guide though)

2. For maintenance of funds, is it OK to send original ICICI bank statements (consolidated 3 month hard copy document obtained from bank thru post) ?. Should I also get these original statements stamped and signed by (ICICI) bank?.

If the statement is original with official letter head of the bank, then no need of stamp and signature

3. For proof of earnings (along with attested payslips), is it OK to send original HDFC bank statements (consolidated 12 months hard copy document obtained from bank thru post) ?. Should I also get the original statements stamped and signed by bank?.

The answer is same as above for question no.2.

4. I see many cover letters templates in the forum- sometimes one for each document section. I would like to know what is the best practice - to have one single cover letter talking about each of our documents or to have multiple cover letters (for different section)?

It is entirely personal preference. Which way do you think that you are able to explain well, that is your choice!

Please advice. Thanks
