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
