Maintenance Funds

[papu.sarkari]

Guys,

My balance in the current account was £1500.I had forgot that I had a direct debit going out of my account today. The direct debit was for 900 and I was left with £600.

I have noticed in time and I have asked my friend to transferr 1000 back in tom my account.
So basically the account does go below 900 but the money comes on the same day in the bank account?
Current balance for the same day is 1600 now!

Is this considered valid or not for maintenance requirements?

Thanks,

Papu.

There should not be a problem, if you have ensured that the balance at the end of the day was more than 900GBP.

If the average balance is less than the required amount in any given day from the last 90 days, then the application WILL GET REFUSED MY FRIEND DOZYWALIA.

However if the applicant maintains the average balance at the end of the day, and keeps it at the required amount for 90 days, and gets all the required paper work from the bank as mentioned in UKBA guide lines, then you would be OK.

READ THE GUIDE LINE SET BY UKBA WHICH IS AVAILABLE ON THEIR WEBSITE, IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT.

You mean, one can rotate the money on a daily basis but at the end of each day they should make sure the balance amount should be £900?

Thanks

I don't think so.

suppose if you have to maintain £600 for 3months. you have a direct debit of £50 on Monday at 9 am... your friend transferring £100 on Monday at 10am... still UKBA will reject the Visa. It was happened in my friend's case....

What the Tier 1 Guidance states is that the applicant must ensure ...
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... idance.pdf

"that there have been enough funds present in the account (the balance must always be at least £800 or £900 where appropriate) covering the consecutive 90 day period before the date of application."

This statement can be interpreted in two ways:

1) That the balance must always be at least the amount mentioned above at all times thoughout the 90 day period before the application.

2) That the balance must be at least the amount mentioned above thoughout the 90 day period before the application.

You may want verify with the UKBA before applying to make sure which it is. Additionally if anyone else can point to a case on this forum where an application has been rejected due to the reason raised in this topic that may also help you make your mind up.
