Hi All,
I am currently living in UK and showed my funds in UK Bank (dated : 19th Oct) and got the CAS issued.
now, i have to travel india to make my visa application. I will be in self isolation in 14 days and only then
i will be making the visa application. in this case, can i show the same bank statements during my visa application which will be around Nov10th ?
Will my bank statements taken during 19th Oct suffice to make an application on Nov 10th?

See the guidance from UKCISA, the UK Council for International Student Affairs:
https://www.ukcisa.org.uk/Information-- ... layer-5347 > Check your financial documents carefully
Unless you are using a loan letter, your financial documents must show that the full amount of money that you need has been in the account for 28 consecutive days up to the date of the closing balance. This means that the account must not have dropped below the amount that you need to show at any time during the 28 day period. If it does your immigration application is likely to be refused. In addition, the final date of this 28 day period must not be more than 31 days old on the date that you submit your application.

Thanks for the reply.
As per the statement, if i apply on Nov 10th for visa, the bank statement which i took on Oct19th may not be sufficient as per UKVI requirements ? What should i do if i have to apply from india showing UK Bank statements?
I can download latest bank statements from my account and provide during Application time .
Will the bank statements downloaded from Online account be accepted by UKVI ?
if not, what should i do in this case? I can't get the paper statements with stamp from UK banks while i am in india.
Please provide me some solution.

Why not? What is your specific concern?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
So The documents are eligible then.
Just to be clear, The bank statements i took are for the dates (17/09/2020 - 19/10/2020).
Therefore, the final 28th continuous day would be 19/10.
if i make application on Nov10th, 19/10 is inside 31 day period window. therefore it is eligible?
Am i correct ? even the statements are 20 days old when i make the application Nov10th. They are still acceptable? Pls confirm.

Are you seriously unclear whether 20 days is less than 31 days? That is an issue of mathematics not the immigration rules!
Given your ongoing anxiety about this matter, you might benefit from one-to-one advice from the international student adviser at your university.

Thanks for the reply.
No, i think i am mostly clear now. The rules can be interpreted like how ever we wish to be like.
I am only unclear about the 28th day of a bank statement. In my case, (17/09/2020 - 19/10/2020)
if 17/09 is the 28th Day then my bank statements would not be eligible.
But from your replies , i got that the 28th day will be 19/10. in such case, they are eligible.
I hope you understand my genuine confusion ?
