Can any one answer my query…- Maintenance funds

[sach_ren]

Can any one answer my query…

I am planning to apply for tier1 (general) in March. I have more than GBP 2800 in my account for the period of 3 and half months. But just before the period of 3 months started for keeping the maintenance funds(the period which i am calculating as a maintenance period for keeping GBP 2800), my friend deposited 1 lakh rupees in to my account through cash. The money was transferred in the very short span of 10 days for eg. 45 thousand on 2nd December, 25 thousand on 5th December and 15 thousand on 10th December and 15 thousand on 12th December.

Kindly let me know would there be any issue regarding the money transferred into my account even after the required maintenance amount i.e 2800 GBP was already their in my account.

Does Home office really bother about the transaction in the account other than salary or their main concern is to check whether the person has the maintenance fund i.e 2800 pounds in his account or not.

As long as you got money in your acount for three months as per HO requirements they don't bother where this money came from, make sure balance don't fall below the required amount throughout whole period (3 months)

Hope this helps

just to be safe

apply in april showing 3 month period from 1st jan to 31st march

even though CaseWorkers are usually not on a lookout for such things but why take chances.

Cos in my case,the caseworker checked the bank statements/salary slips etc very carefully as there were all tick marks on them.

If they find out and reject your visa which is not at all a possiblity as per me but still

then you can take an affidavit from your friend saying that those transactions were of the money he owed to you.

but all this is highly improbable,so relax and dont worry about it much.

There is no need to worry.

Its a requirement from home office to have those funds in the account. There is a minimum set not the maximum.

I showed bank statements for 12 months and out of 12 months 9 months had nil balance, as I used to transfer the funds in my partners account and in the last 3 months I maintained the required balance.

I deposited cash in my account. Visa officers needs to see if you have maintained the required minimum they do not worry about the transactions. The transactions they care about are salaries transferred in the account.

Make sure the funds are not below the required amount on any day.

Good luck!
