Never deposit a sudden large cash lump sum right before submitting your bank statement. Consulates scrutinize bank statements for irregular deposits. The funds should show consistent salary deposits matching your employer's NOC.

Bank Statement & Financial FAQs
Can I use my credit card limit instead of bank balance?
No. Schengen embassies require liquid checking or savings accounts. Credit card limits may be submitted as supplementary evidence of financial capability, but they never replace the 3-6 months current account statement.
What if my salary is paid in cash?
If your salary is paid in cash without corresponding monthly bank deposits, approval chances drop significantly. Consulates require an auditable trail connecting your employment contract to regular bank balance accumulation.
