Fix Deposits can not be used to show Maintenance Fund.

Maintenance funds means funds require to maintain your everyday life in UK, so no FIXED DEPOSITS. Sorry

Chetan I went through the thread and would like to add that .. no one has been able to confirm there that what worked for them. - an actual tested letter format.. guess you are right will need to dig deeper.. but which is the best as per you ..

Also guys please note this reply from South VFS help desk

"Thank you for contacting VFS UK Visa Helpdesk.

With regard to your query;

§ Fixed deposits are acceptable if in the applicant's name and accompanied by a letter from the bank stating the value, how long these have been invested and that they can instantly be liquidated and the cash value. The originals must be submitted (not photocopies).
