Application for Transfer Certificate

\nTo,\nThe Principal,\nGovernment Higher Secondary School,\nBhopal (M.P.)

Date: 25th October 2023

Subject: Application for issuance of Transfer Certificate (TC). \nRespected Sir, \nI humbly beg to state that I am a regular student of Class 8th 'A' in your esteemed institution. My father, who works as a Senior Clerk in the State Revenue Department, has recently been transferred from Bhopal to Indore. Our family will be relocating to Indore by the end of this week. \nConsequently, it will not be possible for me to continue my studies at this school. I have cleared all my pending school fees, returned all issued books to the school library, and obtained no-dues clearance from the sports department. \nTherefore, I kindly request you to issue my Transfer Certificate (TC) at the earliest so that I can take admission in a new school in Indore without any delay in my academic session. \nI am extremely thankful to my teachers and classmates for their guidance and cooperation during my time in this school. \nThanking you. \nYours obediently, Raman Sharma\nClass: 8th 'A'\nRoll No: 18
