Get a letter from the bank stating that the minimal required amount has been always maintained or for the period of claim!

submit 3 months original bank statements while applying and just mention that balance has never been below 1600 GBP. You need to be careful about the exchange rate fluctuations though. Is the last day of the period used for maintenance funds exchange rate as well? If so and the pound gains significantly, the equivalent GBP will start dipping even if you maintain the same amount

Hi ,

ECO will only see the amount which is in the account for the last 90 days . As your current account is topping up with cash kindly get a letter from bank " with following wording "

Bank letter must state that your current account balance with account holder name never falls below date ::::::::: to Date ::::::::::: . Amounts are in cash and on this date ::::::::: Pound to INR exchange rate is this .............
