Facing a Dilemma: How to Create Salary Slips for a Cash-Paid Job Transition?

Hello Everyone, I am Rahman, a marketing manager of a very small company for the last 2 years. Recently, I have been selected to join a large software IT-related company, and my start date is March 15, 2015. I have just received an email requesting my bank statement for my salary account for the entire work period in my current company. However, I receive a cash salary from my current employer as it's a startup/small company. I am unsure of what to do next. My current salary is 20,000, and I have been asked to provide salary slips reflecting this amount for the last 6 months. When I requested this information from my company, my boss instructed me to create it myself, and he would provide the company stamp and necessary signatures. Could someone please assist me in creating a salary slip for 20,000? What should be the breakdown of the salary? Can I show my basic salary as more than 15,000 out of the total 20,000? Are there any rules stating that the basic salary cannot exceed 50% or 60% of the total net/gross salary?

Please enlighten me. Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Regards, Rahman

Hi Rahman, just simply ask your employer to certify your salary. Salary certification sample letters are available on the web. If you think of preparing salary slips by yourself, there is a definite chance of making mistakes. So, obtain a certification from your current employer on the company's letterhead stating that you have worked with the company for a specified duration and during your employment, you used to receive a salary of Rs.....

I believe this would be the simplest and most effective solution for you.
