You need to submit your old passport so no further address proof necessary. But if you have other proofs just take them with you as a backup.
Indian bank statements not necessary.
But do read their checklist and any annexure docs you may need to submit. Some info I saved previously below:
New & Renewed Passports will be delivered by Post/Courier only once ready. Applicants are required to provide Two self-addressed return envelopes (Royal Mail Special Next Day Delivery, Silver, tamper proof envelope only) or seek information from the advisor at the application centre for courier services.
Four colour photographs of size 2 inch X 2 inch with white/off white background are required to be enclosed. Paste one photograph on the application form and hand over the others in an envelope with the application at the centre. The Indian passport, requiring re-issue, needs to be submitted with the application. The applicant also needs to produce document (valid visa/ILR) to prove that he or she has valid landing rights/ stay permit in the UK.
Re-issue of Passport on expiry or up to one year before expiry (having a valid Visa):
The current or recently expired Indian passport along with the self-attested photocopies of the Bio Page (photo page), last page with the address & observation page, if any observations have been noted, or any other visa page with any observation details should also be provided.
Residence Permit (card) wherever applicable needs.to be enclosed along with self-attested photocopies
If the applicant is married and his/her spouse name is not entered in the passport, he/she should submit a self-attested photocopy of marriage certificate and self-attested photocopies of Passport of the applicant’s spouse (original Passport & marriage certificate to be submitted at the time of application) for adding spouse name in the new passport. Please refer to the Addition/Deletion of Spouse name
This is a mandatory requirement; applicants who do not have their spouse’s name endorsed on their passport, should carry the above mentioned documents (self-attested photocopy of marriage certificate, self-attested photocopies of Passport of the applicant’s spouse, along with the original Passport & marriage certificate) when applying to renew their Indian Passport
For passports that expired for up to one year, a self-explanatory letter as to why the passport was not renewed in time needs to be submitted.
Change of address in the passport:
The current Passport having valid Visa or Residence Permit is required to be enclosed with self-attested photocopies of pages containing detailed passport particulars, Visa page and the page containing observation (s), if any. In case the latest Passport is additional booklet(s) issued to the original Passport, the additional booklet(s) plus the original Passport must be furnished.
Documents establishing new address in the form of utility bills, latest monthly bank statements, property papers etc.
In some cases, clearance/verification is required from the Indian authorities. Processing time would be around MINIMUM 4-6 weeks.
My advice is based on personal research/experience, so pls check relevant UKVI sources.
