Dear Sir,

Good day.

I would like to double check with you the amount of maintenance fund in order to apply ILR? How long the maintenance fund it should stay in bank account?

Thank you for kind reply.

There is no minimum maintenance fund requirement for ILR applications (unlike for Tier 1 General applications).

I think you will have to show the bank statements for the last 3 months as per section 11A. I don't know the exact amount or rule. See the note from Section 11A of Set(O) form.
Evidence of your finances. If you have to complete section 5, bank statements, building society savings book(s), pay slips or other formal documents as evidence of your ability to maintain and accommodate yourself
and any dependants without recourse to public funds.

Firstly, There is no formal requirement for you to maintain funds for ILR.
Having some fund could only, if at all help your case. But this is not a requirement.

Try to maintain funds of what is required for Tier-1, if you can, I think it is around £900 over 3 month period.
