Help & Advice needed please!!!

[sri86]

Hello Everyone,

I am a newbie to this forum, need an advice regarding my case.
I am on PSW visa expiring in 15 days. I have the Required 50k funds held in my personal account (HDFC bank) overseas, India. am planning to apply for the Tier1. I do have the maintenance funds(900) in my UK personal bank account for 3 months.
My question is, I spoke to the branch manager in India to issue a letter covering the
1. funds availability,
2. ready for disposal and
3. bank is regulated by RBI.

He refused to add the words mentioning about the "ready for disposal" and about the "this bank is regulated by the Reserve bank of India".

He confirmed that he can issue an Balance confirmation statement and the bank statement if needed.

Do I need the letter covering all these details or is it enough if the letter just implies the balance amount of funds.
FYI, all the Funds in accounts are on my name.

Thanks

Hi

You need a letter confirming

1. your balance

2. Money is disposable in UK

3. Bank is regulated by RBI

4. your name , Date of Birth, and account Number.

Preferably get bank statement as well

He refused to add the words mentioning about the "ready for disposal" and about the "this bank is regulated by the Reserve bank of India".

It may be a problem as money MUST be freely movable. You dont know how fussy your caseworker may be so better not to take chance. Dont worry about RBI regulation as UKBA check it themselves.

1.Thank you very much for the replies, I will request the bank manager to confirm about the 'funds disposal to UK'.

2. will there be any issues regarding the lines as the bank is per regulations of RBI, as this bank is listed ACCEPTABLE on the UKBA website.


Thanks.

Hi Sri86,

As you mention funds are in Indian Bank account and account is on your name so I cant see any problem as long as you have original bank statement and letter from the bank confirming the balance, and bank is in list of regulated financial institution than you are fine as money is in your own name and you have full access to it.

I have read the policy guidance and it clearly says that if your bank is regulated by FSA that itself automatically fulfill the requirements of money disposable to uk so even if bank dont right down the letter its fine.My bank aswell didnt wrote the same letter but I have submitted the file without it.

that will be more than enough.
