Spouce visa Income requirement

[CR5]

Hi Guys,

Will really appreciate any help on my below issue.

• I am a British national and hold a OCI
  I got married in India last month and planned to apply for a spouse visa for my Indian wife however I lost my job this month.
  I read somewhere on UKBA website that if I show £16000.00 in my bank account for the 6 months I can still apply for the spouse visa without the need of any other income proof.

I just want to double check if i got it correct about the £16000 and no income proof ?

you have totally misunderstood it. You need to have 6 months old savings of atleast £62500. If you using savings to cover any shortfall in your employment income then you can use your savings but the first £16000 of it would be excluded from calculations.
