does it matter?

[tabita]

My parents are self sponsoring their trip, they have around 8 lac Rs. as fixed deposits, they dont have any money in their saving account. Will it have any adverse outcome on their visa application? Should they transfer part of the money to their savings account or it doesnt matter whether the money is as savings or fixed or cash. Kindly anybody who has any experience regarding this issue, give some guidance, thankyou.

Total financials

... are what they look at, not specifically whether the money's in checking, savings or money market account.

As long as it's your money, you can have it anywhere and it should be accessible to you, when required.

Take care.
