LONDON: Britain on Tuesday published a list of nearly 1,900 banks in India - most of them cooperative - whose financial statements will not be accepted for student visa purposes, a move that is set to affect thousands of Indian students wanting to study there.

The new list has just 85 banks operating in India whose statements will be accepted for purposes of student visas.

As part of the application for student visas - Tier 4 under the points-based system - applicants have to show evidence of possessing the necessary funds to pursue a course of study and live in the UK for the duration of the course.
