Hi,
I am currently applying for ILR under the 5 year Tier 2 system.
One of the documents that the Home Office asks for is
"For the period before you were granted leave as a Tier 2 migrant,documents showing that you met the relevant requirements of the immigration rules"
Could you please suggest what documents I need to submit to meet this criteria?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Tarun.

This is a classic case of UKVI's forms being as confusing as possible.
This statement applies to those applicants only who were on a different visa type before switching to Tier 2. If your entire 5 years have been on Tier 2, and you were not on any other visa type before that, you do not need to provide any evidence for this.

Yes, I was on a different visa type before my 5 year Tier 2 period started. I was on a Post Study work visa before Tier 2. What evidence do I need to provide then?

I'm assuming you will have a Tier 4 PSW visa stamped in the passport. Just refer to it. Additionally, add a photocopy of the visa, and if you have a letter from Home Office when you were granted the PSW visa, add that too.
