Detailed Solution
Vitamins are classified by their solubility in water or fat.
Fat soluble vitamins: A, D, E and K; they are soluble in fats and oils, insoluble in water, and are stored in the liver and adipose tissue.
Water soluble vitamins: the B group vitamins and vitamin C; they are readily excreted in urine and cannot be stored (except vitamin $B_{12}$).
Hence vitamin B complex is not a fat soluble vitamin.
