Mandatory Funds Requirement - Claiming points through UK Ban

[iluvuparis]

Dear All,

I was in UK on deputation for the whole of last year. Currently am back in India. However my Indian earnings is more than enough to claim points under past earnings section. But for the Mandatory Funds reqt, i understand we need to show a bank balance of 2800GBP for the last 3 months period. However i dint maintain that amt in my indian bank acct (where my indian salary is being credited). Buthe the same amt is available in my UK acct covering the last 3 months cycle.

Can i show the UK bank statement to prove that i've sufficient funds - provided am claiming Past earnings points only through Indian earnings (Indian Payslips, Indian Bank account).

Plesae help me in this. I'm totally confused.

Regards

Pls go ahead, if you need to more info contact ur VFS.

If you read the guidance, its states you need have a balance of 2800 pounds in the bank account. They are not worried about if it is an Indian bank or UK.

How old can the bank statement be? can it be older by 2/3 weeks?

I am sorry to say that you can't claim your indian earnings in indian band since you stayed in UK.You have to claim against UK band.
You can claim addition of indian salary and UK earnings, but for both you need to produce the tax statements.

Vijay ,
can online statements of a UK bank be considered for maintenance fund ?My case is also similar to iluvuparis . Again , that particular bank keeps only last 3 transactions , dating the oldest one to 3/3/08 . I am going to apply for Tier 1 most prob in 1st week of May from India ..will it be okay to provide that bank's statement ?? Pls let me know . I think, we can provide a cheque in addition to the online statement to verify the authenticity ...wht say ?

Thanks

Better if u got a week old.

[shubi81]

do u mean 1 week older than 3/3/08 ? but still it wont show all the transactions for Feb ..

I think, we need to prove that , the balance doesn't fall below 2800 gbp after any transactions

Given on the BIA website: "For example, if you apply under Tier 1 (General) on 12 June, a single bank statement with a closing balance of £800 dated between 12 May and 12 June will meet the maintenance requirements. A bank statement dated before 12 May will not be acceptable".

So a statement dated within the preceding 30 days / 1 month from the date of application will suffice.
