Thanks for letting me know about this
2. ECO's r more interested to see your mother financial circumstances in INDIA. Even though u r sponsoring the whole trip still they want to see her economic ties and circumstances in INDIA.
She doesn't have enough money in her Bank accounts but she has good amount of money in fixed deposits in an indian bank which can easily cover her trip cost. She can also get a letter signed by the manager that the money is readily available. Will this work? We will also provide property paper on my father's name.
2.What is your mother source of income? They r more interested to see transactions in her bank account. What's coming in and going out? Like pension, rental income, any business generating income, other income giving by family and friends. if money giving by family and friends than also provide those family members source of income as evidences.
3. U need to explain all the ties and social circumstances with evidences to convince the ECO that she will go back after her visit.
How do we prove the social relations ? Does she need to get signed letters from relatives that they are very close to each other or something like that, supported by identity proofs? She will be undergoing a leg operation in India probably around Sept, can a letter from the hospital confirming that help? This is really challenging how to prove strong social relations in India. Is there any template for this?
Do u have brothers and sisters in India? if yes what r they doing? if in school or college get the letters from them. if they r working than get wageslips and employer letters to confirm their economic activities. Family photos can also help.
Do not mention any treatment. Eco might think that she is coming here for free NHS.
These days they r very strict about visit visas. So its your duty to convince ECO that your mom is a genuine visitor and she has more ties in her home country which would attract her to leave the UK at the end of her visit.
Could you please help ?
Thanks again for your prompt response.

My mother donot have any substantial source of income. She gets a very minimal monthly pension of probably 50£, her main cost of living in india is undertaken by myself. I transfer money to my Indian account and she uses it from there. Do i need to show bank statement of my indian account along with her Fixed deposits ? Or does she need to transfer the money that i transfer to my indian account to her bank account ?

No my sister lives in the US. But we can provide family photos to show she is very close to her siblings. Will that work? Thanks for letting me know about the NHS issue, i wont mention it. She can show medical reports of her parents i.e my grand father and grand mother just to show they are not keeping well, so needs to go back to india after her visit. I can write a cover letter where all these things would be mentioned. Will this work?
Thanks for your support.
