Rules regarding passport issuance

Sir

A bank statement is accepted  as an address proof  while applying for passport .I want to know that what are the things that a bank statement should include. The main points i need information about are

1.whether the bank account must be more than one year old?

2. Is it mandatory that it must contain transactions every month compulsarily for the last twelve months ?

3. If the passport issuing officer create unneccesary harassment whom should we complain and how?

      sir
      Thanks for your reply
      My bank a/c was more than one year old but it was rejected on the ground that it contained only few transactions (5-6)in the whole year
      .What should be done?I think there is no such rule that it should contain transactions of every month which i was told there.
