PROOF OF INCOME

Hi, fellow traders, I would like to ask one question. What if a person is a full time trader and don’t have any other source of income. Then what will be their proof of income. More specifically if I ask, when we go embassies of different countries, proof of employment is needed to be showed. In that case what will be the supporting document for a full time trader? If you guys kindly reply. Thanks in advance.

Embassies asks for proof of employment only if you indicate that you are employed somewhere. For Self employed person, embassy need proof of income, which can be provided in form of bank statements and past ITRs
