How to unfreeze bank account?
Two months ago, the bank imposed a lien/hold of ₹2,000 on my SBI bank account. About 15 days ago, they again placed a hold of ₹15,000 on my account. Despite multiple visits to my SBI home branch, I was advised to approach the cyber cell. However, the cyber cell is also not helping resolve the issue. What legal steps can I take to get my account unfreezed? If I take help from a leading law firm, what charges may apply?
