Before you send it
- Before closing, move every auto-debit (EMI, SIP, insurance, bills) and every credit (salary, pension, subsidy, tax refund) to another account.
- Banks have their own account closure form. Ask for it; this letter works where they accept a plain request.
- For a joint account, all holders normally have to sign.
- Ask whether there is a closure charge. Banks often charge when an account is closed soon after opening; the rule is in the bank's schedule of charges.
- Download or collect a statement of the account before it is closed. You may need it for tax later.
What to attach
- Passbook, unused cheque leaves and ATM card
- Identity proof
Common questions
Can I close a bank account online?
Some banks allow part of the process online, but most still want a signed request at the branch. Check with your bank.
This is a general format, written by us, to save you time. If the bank has its own printed form, use that form. Last checked: 11 November 2026.
