Hi Sneha,
yes, a bank statement is valid.
but only if the account is valid for the past year - from the date of passport application.
1. you need a covering letter from the bank - there is a standard format.
just tell the bank its for proof of address.
2. bank statement for the past year.
photocopy both - 2 copies each.
attest them copies.
photocopy the attested copies - 2 copies each.
i think - one set of the original attested copies is taken with the originals when you apply.
These are the links for address proof for passport.
