Most people contact us after being asked for a document without a clear definition — pasting the authority's exact wording to us is the fastest way to confirm which one applies.
Many universities and visa authorities specifically want a signed, certified statement rather than a raw bank statement, since a statement alone doesn't confirm the funds are unencumbered or accurately summarised.
| Document | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Proof of funds | The money is available right now, at a specific point in time. |
| Source of funds | Where the money came from — salary, sale of asset, gift, inheritance. |
| Net worth certificate | Total assets minus total liabilities, as on a given date. |
Sometimes, but many universities and visa authorities specifically want a CA-certified statement rather than a raw bank statement, since certification confirms the figures were reviewed and summarised by a qualified professional, not just self-reported.
A practising, ICAI-registered Chartered Accountant, who reviews your bank and investment statements and issues a signed certificate carrying a UDIN.
Paste the exact wording from your university, embassy or authority's request to us on WhatsApp — we'll confirm which document actually applies before you pay for anything.
Our Clients
A sample layout with the three things that get a certificate accepted, highlighted.
Figures, name and valuation date are blurred here — this is a sample. On your certificate, every field is fully visible to you and whoever you submit it to.
What matters before you pay: a genuine UDIN, an authorised signature, a verifiable stamp. That's what we're showing upfront.
Ask a CA FirstA CA-verified statement of what you own minus what you owe, as on a specific date. Wrong format for the requesting authority is the top reason certificates get sent back.
For Schengen, US, UK, Canada and Gulf visa applications. Embassies check the valuation date closely, usually within 30 days.
For loan guarantees, tender eligibility and court matters like divorce or asset disputes. Needs higher detail on liabilities.
Not a back office. Every certificate is reviewed personally before it carries a signature.

Fellow Chartered Accountant with a background at EY, Credit Suisse and UBS. Personally checks every valuation date against the bank, embassy or court's specific requirement before signing.
No templates. Every certificate is reviewed and signed by a practising CA, and verifiable before you submit it.
Every certificate carries a UDIN generated through ICAI. Confirm it's a real, currently practising CA, not a document mill.
Bank statements, property papers, investments. Tell us the purpose so the format is right.

Standard cases signed within 30 minutes. Complex cases, we tell you upfront.
Priced by complexity — a single bank account case sits at the lower end.
Confirmed against your authority's exact wording before we start.
A single account, single applicant case sits at the lower end. Multiple accounts, multiple sponsors, or added source-of-funds tracing sit toward the upper end. Confirmed before you pay.
"University asked for 'proof of funds' with no further explanation. SVT clarified exactly what was needed."
"Bank statement alone wasn't accepted. This certified version was."
"Needed source of funds traced for a gift from a relative. Handled carefully."
