Proof of Employment Query

[atul1210]

hi friends i have a query regarding work experience letter.

I was in a job till May, 2011 only and since then working on my own. In my EE profile I mentioned work experience from May 2006 till May 2011 only which gives me points for 3 yrs or more of WE. I got ITA recently and wish to submit the docs asap. The reference letter issued by the employer, which was same for this entire period, mentions 3 different roles I handled during this time. The ref letter also mentions employment as full time but does not mention the no. of hours worked per week. Also the tenure of each role is also not mentioned. When I asked the HR to mention these things on the ref letter, they denied saying that this is the standard format they follow for issuing ref letters and they issue a lot of such letters every month and no one has ever com back and asked for these details on the letter. On insisting, they have however given the individual role tenures on email to me which I m thinking of using to support the period I will mention in the profile.

Is it the right thing to do......just want to be sure before submitting?

Please note that I do not have any promotion letter with me. So the docs I have are Ref letter, Initial Offer letter and last few months salary slips and relieving letter.

I am also not submitting any docs for my self employment as it is cumbersome to obtain ref letters from customers

However, we could listen what seniors says...

This is very common concern of many applicants and have been addressed in multiple other threads.
What I suggest you is to create a employment letter in the CIC format yourself, with your roles, responsibilities, time spent on those roles and your CTC at that time.
Get this letter signed from your then manager or any current sr. person in the company (this is the tricky part) and get get the scans of their employee badge and visiting card.
Once you have the letter signed, get it notarized and attach it along with the other employment proofs.
CIC is aware that many Indian companies don't provide the employment letter in their asked format and accept self written attested and notarized letter in those cases.
In my case I did the same and the processing went smoothly but I was working in the company at that time.
It might be little tricky for you to get the letter sign and scans of the badge of the person signing the letter. Visiting card is easy I guess.
But do put effort on this. If you get it done, your processing will be smooth too.
All the best.

PS. There are already many threads dedicated to this topic. Do comb the forum for other suggestions if any.

Dear @_Harry_ ,

Would you kindly elaborate what is meant by badge of the person ?

Dear @_Harry_ ,

The employee badge of the person so the CIC official can make sure that the person signing your employment letter is indeed a current employee of the organisation you are trying to get employment proof from.
The visiting card usually tells about the designation of the person in the company so that is added advantage.

make sure you get the business card of the person who signed the letter. lot of people recommended and I did that. CIC called my HR to verify my employment and I knew I made the right decision of attaching the business card.
