Have all of the pages in your bank passbook been used, or has your passbook been lost, stolen or pages are torn and is no longer usable? In these cases, we may need to apply to the bank for a new passbook. The procedure for obtaining a new passbook from the bank is straightforward. Simply submit an application for new passbook to your bank or branch manager, and you will receive your new passbook within a few days. Let us look at the format and a few sample letters to understand how to write an application for new passbook efficiently.
A bank passbook is a small book with a few pages that record in printed form every amount of money deposited or withdrawn from your account. Generally, the bank is responsible for providing the passbook when opening a bank account. However, after a certain period of time, all of the pages of the passbook may be used up, and you will need to request a new passbook from the bank. You can go to the bank’s branch and request a new passbook.
To do this, you will have to write a request application for new passbook and submit it to the bank manager. The tone of the letter should be formal and polite. Many banks provide a pre-printed application form to get a new passbook, but if your bank does not have one, you can write an application for new passbook and submit it.
