Tier1 dependent maintenance fund

[ohgod]

Hi Members,
I require one clarification and vfs India is unable to provide it.
I am in UK for more than 2 years (tier1).I am planning to apply for my wife as dependent. How much maintance fund is required?

1. 800+533 =1333
or
2. 800+1600 = 2400

I think the policy says the first one. However, vfs told £1600, which does not match anything.
Can anyone confirm?
A clear policy reference as appreciated.

Thanks,
