Your wife is the applicant. Your wife submits the application and thus must submit all the required documentation. You need to send all documents that she will submit to her in India.

All I said is that your wife is the applicant and must be the person to have all the docs!! You must follow the submission requirements of the country where the applicant applies - some send to Sheffield, some have checking centres within country. Follow the requirements for India.

Bottom line is that your wife needs the docs. You should not send them to Sheffield from within the UK. This is because I have seen a few applicants then being treated as an in-country application, even though they have applied from abroad. As I am sure you know, you cannot apply for entry clearance from within the UK or change from a visitor visa to any other category. So in these instances that I have seen, the applications were (mistakenly) rejected.
