I guess it depends on how lucky you are with accomodation. GBP600 per month is about Rs.1600 per day, so if you can get some cheap place to stay you should be alright

With 1600 per day you can lead a good life in India with good accomodation and nice food. You can get it done within about 1000Rs per day with good food and acoomodation even in big cities.

and I am averaging 300 - 350 pounds a month. Remember rooms will be cheaper for two of you, as I seem to be paying for a double room rather then a single person.

You'll live comfortably on £600 a month, you'll even be able to have the occasional luxury (or police bribe

).

Regarding the last comment, make sure you read the following excellent thread.
