Please read the dependent form carefully before posting and confusing people here.
Akan if dependent is applying separately then its only £600 for dependent.
£900 + £600 is only applicable if both are applying at same time.
I have read it careful enough to give better idea as the paragraph says if you are applying with main applicant than £600 + £900 is the fee. But it does not say if applying separately you only need to show only £600. So this is unclear. That means ball is in Visa Officer court. He has 2 options.
1- Rejects the visa: Even if only £600 is the fee and he rejects you will have right of appeal. And surely you will be granted a visa. May be VO is ignorant and you are refused.
2- He approves your visa.
If he rejects than you need to go through prolonged appeal process. So why do you want to take risk. To safe side I will always encourage to keep dependents as well as main applicants maintenance funds for 90 days.
Below is an example. You can have a look yourself. Choice is yours. And finally that was a suggestion and not an order.
