I completed my MCA in 2005 from Mumbai; does the year of passing affect my application in UK for a Master's?

It depends. While completing your MCA in 2005 means your qualification is not recent, your extensive 10 years of work experience can help offset this for UK master's programs - especially if your experience is relevant to your chosen field.

UK universities consider both academic history and professional experience. Some may prefer recent degrees, but many value substantial, relevant work experience. Strong employer references and a focused personal statement explaining your career path and reasons for further study will strengthen your application.

Entry requirements vary by university and program, so flexibility can differ.
