I’m planning to file for divorce and need some clarity on address proof. I’ve moved out of my in-laws’ place and am currently staying with relatives in the same city. I haven’t been able to get an official address proof for this residence. My hometown is in a different city. I’ve updated my bank account with this new address. Would a bank statement or passbook be accepted as valid address proof in Indian courts for divorce proceedings?

Yes, a bank statement or passbook with your updated address can be accepted as valid address proof in Indian courts for divorce proceedings. However, it’s advisable to provide additional supporting documents like rent agreement or utility bills, if possible, to strengthen your case.
