Bank account frozen by cyber crime; how to resolve issue?
My bank account has been frozen for more than two months. The bank has informed me that it has been frozen by the Cyber Crime Department, and they advised me to consult a lawyer for this matter. Can you tell me how much it will cost to get the details or resolve this issue?
As per the latest legal position and the view of the Supreme Court of India, authorities are allowed to freeze only the disputed amount, not the entire bank account. A complete freeze is considered arbitrary and can be challenged. You can first submit a written request to the bank and Cyber Crime Department for partial de-freezing. If no action is taken, you may file a petition. For more details you can direct consult
