Maintenance Fund - Query on statement date

[ra_njan]

HI Guys,
I have deposited 3.5 lakh cash which I got converted from my onsite savings in Euros to Rupees on 4th March. So my maintenance fund completing 3 months on 3rd June.
So I thought of taking bank statement from 5th March - 4th June and apply on 6th June. I already booked appointmentwith vfs for 6th June.

will it be OK or they want statement month by month, like 1st march -31st June etc.

Please clarify.Thanks
Regards
Ranjan

You May have to show the source of this 3.5 lakh i guess.

As a documentary proof, I have the official stamped and signed travel Settlement document of the Euros given to me during my travel. And related e-mails which I can take printout.
Will it be OK as proof? Since I converted the Euro from local forex people they, have not given any document for that.

Regards
Ranjan

Just wondering , do we need to show the source of the money deposited if that is not covered in the 3 months bank statement for fund maintenance ?

Just as case of ra_njan. As he will take statement from 5th of march which will not show the credited tranasaction of 3.5 lacs.

Can anyone clarify this?

here is what i understand :-

1) If you are showing this money in your salary a/c, then this will come in your statement which you will be showing in earning proof for last 12 months.

If the answer to point one is NO that means money is deposited in some other saving account. In my opinion to be safe side i will be happy to provide all documents for source for large transaction in my non salary account.
If we are fine from our end, Better provide all sources with the application, so that no question is raised in VO mind.

Well this just my personal opinion. What i have learned from this forum is provide maximum information you can and it should be genuine.

Thanks. I apreciate your explanation.
The maintenance fund a/c is different from my salary a/c.

However, if authentic document is available, then there is no reason why should not we submit the proof.

I have deposited an amount of 2.5 lakhs between 15 March to 10 April. The account was once my salary account, but due to some reasons my salary account is changed in April. I have deposited this amount just becos I want to apply for Uk tier 1. Do you think this will make doubt for VO?

It might but you can mitigate the risk by providing a legitimate transaction proof for the deposit.

I am applying for Tier 1 (General) from India around June 15th. My query is "is it enough to show the bank statements for 1-Mar-08 to 31-May-08 which is 3 months prior to the date of application". Or the statement dates should be extended to 1 or 2 days before the application date?

Please clarify

I am only planning to show the statement for 1-Mar-08 to 31-May-08.

Thanks

Be careful to choose these dates. As there is gap of around two weeks. Better you take statements from 1-mar-08 to 13-June-08. Check following post. http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewto ... 8ad4c52522

Hi

I want to know the following about maintanance funds requirement:

1) I have an NRE account in $$$ (in one of the nationalized banks) and is always convertible into rupees, but conversion is not advisable from penalties applicable. It is in form of FDs. Is this OK?
2) Do I have to show the source? This has been open since last 3 years or so.

Thanks,

The following from the tire 1 guidance note (India) should be self explanatory:

Documentary Requirements

C5.4 This evidence must be original, on the official letter-headed paper or stationery of the organisation and bearing the official stamp of that organisation. It must have been issued by an authorised official of that organisation. For the purposes of paragraph 245G of the Immigration Rules, the documents specified are as follows:

1. Personal bank or equivalent statements covering the 3 month period immediately preceding the application.

I would appreciate if someone can clear my doubts:

1. Can I show the money deposited in Bank Fixed Deposit?

2. I have an account with HSBC UK. The last deposit was made in Jan 2006. Can can show this money as maintanance fund.

3. I have lended my money to a company in 2006. Now I have taken back that money to show as maintanance fund. What should I mention for the source of this fund.

Please guide.

Thanks
Amit
