2) I have booked my appointment for 03/04/2013 and I have to leave for India on 10/03/2013.
My question is how many days it normally would take to get the new BRP card?
3) Do they keep the old BRP card as I still have Via till July 2013?
4) Do I need to carry Photo copies of all the document That I have to carry with me?
1) If your question is with regard to aggregating your two immigration category residence periods, it would be difficult to confirm, without specifics on precise immigration categories (i.e. there are many T1 & T2 categories with different immigration rules), so you may want to state them.
2) I'm guessing you have made a mistake on the dates here, as 10/03/2013 is in the past. If you are making a in-person application and it is approved on the same day, then you usually receive the BRP within 7 working days from then. If you meant to say 10/
04/2013, and your PEO appointment is on 03/04/2013, then you are cutting it too fine IMO. There have been delays in issuing BRP's at times in the past so there is no guarantee that you would get it before you travel. Additionally, there may be Biometric issues or other enquires which may result in a delay in you getting a same day decision on your application.
3) Yes. As your Settlement BRP would replace the former BRP, so you will not get the old one back - unless your ILR application is refused.
4) Photocopies of all supporting documents should be submitted with your application, according to the SET(O) form guidance.
