Yes, for a UK student visa, you need to maintain sufficient funds in your bank account to cover your tuition fees and living expenses. These funds must be held in a regulated Indian bank account (yours or your parents') for at least 28 consecutive days before you apply, without dropping below the required amount during that period.

This is essential to prove you can support yourself financially while studying. Leap can help you prepare the right documents to meet this requirement.
