Dear Client, Approach the specific branch of SBI where you have a account and get to know the reason for your account being frozen. After finding out the reasons, you can fill the applications to unfreeze your account by submitting it to the bank along with the required documents. If the issue is in relation to an order given by an authority try to resolve the issue to get your bank account unfrozen. If you feel that the bank was wrong in doing so, you can approach the banking ombudsman for redressal. I hope this was helpful. For further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you

Immediately approach the SBI branch to know the exact reason for the hold (court order, lien, KYC, or investigation). Submit required documents or reply to notices. If unjustified, file a written complaint and escalate to the Banking Ombudsman for relief. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
