Please clairfy , is each branch have a seperate legel entity or it's not?

its supposed to be one legel entity accordingly the transfer between account will record directly otherwise it should allocate on the cussrent acounts.

BRANCH FIRST                           BRANCH SECOND

Assuming it is same legal entity then, 

If there is not much time gap between withdraw from bank a/c & deposit in the other and amount is also same, then you can show it as a bank to bank transfer entry instead of routing through capital a/c.

Hi, You shouldn't record this as a withdrawals Main head office Dr. The new branch a/c Cr. Bank Cash transferred to the new branch as investment. (Related party a/c) In the branch Dr. Bank Cr. Head office a/c Cash received as investment from head office (related party a/c). As for the year end the branch financials will be part of the main head office in a consolidated BS.

Capital Account in Co -1----Dr Cash at bank in the name of same firm--Cr Cash at bank in the name of co.--2--Dr Capital Account in Co -2---Cr
