02 August 2025 For transferring a **Post Office Recurring Deposit Account (RDA)** from one city to another, here’s how it usually works:

---

### Standard procedure:

1. **Visit the existing post office** where the RDA is currently maintained.
2. Submit a **written request/application** for transfer of the RDA to the new post office (in the new city).
3. The existing post office **sends the transfer request** through their controlling head post office to the new post office.
4. The new post office **issues a fresh RDA account number** for your recurring deposit, and the balance is transferred there.
5. You will be notified when the transfer is complete.

---

### Documents usually required:

* Original **RDA passbook** or account details.
* Valid **proof of identity** (Aadhar, PAN, Passport, etc.).
* Valid **proof of new address** in the target city.
* Transfer application/request letter.

---

### Can you do the transfer directly from the target post office?

* Generally, **no**. The transfer must be initiated at the existing post office where the account is held.
* This is to ensure proper verification and processing, as the original office holds your deposit records.

If you want, I can help you draft the transfer request letter. Would you like that?
