Transfer PPF account

[abhinav.gupta88]

My father's PPF account is in my home town. Now he lives with me. I wanted to transfer the account in my city post office. Do he need to go and submit the application for transfer or can I do on his behalf?

I am not too sure that authority letter would work here or not, please check with the post office, you want to transfer. Please update us the outcome also.

I have checked with post master of my city post office and he is saying that the person, who wants to transfer his PPF account, would needs to be present in the post office. So just carry PPF account details like PPF passbook, ID proof and Application to transfer the PPF to new PO branch.
