Setcanada,
I am in the same boat. I have shared the bank statement, of the the joint account I have with my Father.
I guess, mutual funds and insurance premiums are also considered.
Additionally, i got an affidavit stating that the funds were at my disposal and that I can liquidate the fixed assets (property/home) at any time. Also, I have got a letter from a reputed Chartered Accountant - showing the funds (Savings, FD, Insurance Premium, Fixed Assets) available to me.
Sometime in July 2009, when I met a consultant, they were of the opinion that Joint Account, in which you have been holding a balance for 6months and more, is eligible as funds. Though , I didn't continue with this consultant for various reason, I presume, it is kinda acceptable.
Guess, we have to wait and see.
All the best to all !!
