Balance Confirmation Request Letter to Bank for Audit Purpose

A Balance Confirmation Letter is a letter from the bank to its customer confirming certain details about the customer's account(s) with the bank and some facilities availed from the bank during a particular financial year. The letter acts as evidence for the auditors of the company for year-end audit purposes.

Generally, this confirmation is obtained from the bank just after a financial year is ended. The company requests the bank to confirm and provide the details of closing balance as on year end date i.e. 31st March and certain other details.

Here is a template of such a request letter to the bank from the company. Modify it suitably as per your requirement.
