As long as funds were withdrawable anytime, NRI account statement should be fine.

The above question i asked to VFS here. Please find the reply i received.

"Your Indian bank statement will be not valid any more as long as the money has transferred from Saudi Arabia. You should provide the required amount in your local bank account. "

Can any one guide me on this.
