Employee Salary Account Opening Letter to bank from company

Many companies offer salary accounts of a bank to their employees as an additional perquisite. Salary accounts come with many benefits viz. no minimum balance requirement, higher rate of interest on savings, free debit/atm card, free cheque book, points on shopping with debit card, etc.

Generally, regular employees are provided with salary accounts i.e. those employees who complete initial probation period with the company.

The company will have to submit to the bank - the application form signed by the employee along with his identity and address proofs self attested copies for processing the opening of the account.

Sometimes the bank executive collects all these documents from the company's office and sometimes the company payroll executive or responsible officer goes to the bank to submit the documents.

Nowadays some of the banks have started giving online facility to fill up the form and upload identity/address proof copies.

A cover letter has to be written to the bank mentioning the details of the employee for whom account opening request is getting submitted. This is generally considered as "employment proof" for that employee with that company.

You can modify the following format suitably according to your requirement.
