Only if it is still within the 31-day limit, and only if it includes enough money to support both applications. You cannot count the actual same money twice.

Let me explain my condition, I was granted the visa and planned to apply for my wife separately. I have in my bank account about £16800, but if we collect the total required amount for me and my wife , it will equall £23000 , I don’t know if I can apply for my dependent visa with the above fund ?

Your wife just needs to show enough maintenance to support her own application. This money can be held in your name.

However, if she is showing the same actual money that you have already shown as evidence of your own 9 month's maintenance, that would not be wise. It may be assumed that you are applying separately so you can count the same money twice.

Hence I advise that if there is any overlap, you may wish to show enough money for her on top of what you already showed for yourself.

This is not required in the immigration rules for dependants, but I have seen a refusal under the general grounds with an accusation of deception for attempting to use the same actual money twice.
