FormatsApplication to change address in bank account
Use this to ask the bank to update your address in its records after you move house.
Tap a yellow blank and type your own details. What you type stays in your browser only.
When to use this letter
Use this after you move house, so that cheque books, cards and letters from the bank reach you, and so that your KYC record stays correct. An account whose address does not match your current documents can cause trouble later, when you apply for a loan or a new card.
Before you send it
- The address proof must show the new address. Ask the branch which documents it accepts.
- Carry the original proof. The branch compares it with the copy and returns it.
- If you hold more than one account or a locker in the bank, mention that the change is for all of them.
What to attach
- Self-attested copy of proof of the new address
- Identity proof
- Passbook
How to send or submit it
Submit it at the branch with a self-attested copy of the new address proof, and carry the original. Some banks accept an address update through net banking or the app with an uploaded document. Ask whether the change will also apply to linked accounts, deposits and a locker.
Mistakes that get it sent back
- The address proof is not one that the bank accepts, or is in another person's name.
- The address in the letter is written differently from the address on the proof.
- No PIN code.
- The signature does not match.
