to get you started, here are some points:
to extend your visa you will have to apply from within UK.
you will need to have maintained 900£ over last 90 days before application.
you cannot apply uplift ratio on your overseas earnings. you will need to simply convert your foreign currency earnings to GBP.
now read the Tier1 policy guidance and run the points calculator to see where you stand

I have read about many people in this forum who entered UK just before their T1 visa expiry, solely to apply for extension. You just have to tell immigration officer that you are entering to apply for extension and look for jobs while you are here. you should be fine

You will need to convince them that you intend on applying for an extension that day. Have you ever entered the UK using your tier 1 visa?
Unless you have an appointment to apply in person on or before your visa expires you will need to apply by post which takes on average 3 months at the moment. Can you leave your job for that long?

no you can't apply by post from India. You have to be in the UK.
You can try to get an appointment but you are unlikely to get one before 30th may.
Look on ukba website under tier 1 general.

you cannot apply by post from India.
it is near impossible to get a peo appointment before your visa expiry date, unless you want to try your luck with immigration consultants who promise such appointment in exchange for hefty fees.
UK BA it is

Mate, you can't be serious about the above question......
Can i apply through post from India
People already answered this on earlier Post. I will say it again one more time. NO
Can i take an appointment now
You can take appointment now but it would be hard to get anything before your expiry date as currently all the appointments are booked till 27th june. You can try your luck though, you might get someone's cancelled appointment. But the chances are very low. You left it too late to decide on this. Good Luck anyway.
