To, The Branch Manager [bank_name], [branch_name] Date: [request_date] Subject: Request in respect of salary account no. [account_number] Sir/Madam, 1. I, [account_holder], hold a salary account bearing number [account_number] with your branch. 2. The said account was opened in connection with my employment with [old_employer]. I have since changed employment and am now employed with [new_employer]. 3. MY REQUEST [request_type] Where the request is for a transfer of the account, I request that it be transferred to your [new_branch] branch. 4. I request that you kindly: (a) process the above request at the earliest; (b) confirm whether the account will continue as a salary account or be converted to a regular savings account, and inform me of any minimum balance requirement that will consequently apply; (c) ensure that all standing instructions, auto-debits, ECS mandates and linked services attached to the account continue uninterrupted; and (d) confirm that the account number, IFSC and debit card details will remain unchanged, or inform me of the revised particulars. 5. I confirm that my KYC documents on record are current. I enclose the documents listed below in support of this request. 6. I request written confirmation once the request has been processed. Thanking you, Yours faithfully, [account_holder] Account No.: [account_number] Contact: ______________________ DOCUMENTS ENCLOSED 1. Photocopy of identity and address proof 2. Copy of the offer or appointment letter from the new employer 3. Latest salary slip, where available 4. Photocopy of the passbook or a cancelled cheque A PRACTICAL NOTE A salary account ordinarily carries no minimum balance requirement. If salary credits stop for a continuous period — commonly three months, though this varies by bank — the account is generally converted to a regular savings account, and the minimum balance requirement and associated charges then begin to apply. If you have changed employers, either have the new employer credit salary to this account, or ask the bank to convert it deliberately. Leaving it dormant frequently results in unexpected non-maintenance charges.
