Hi my father account has been freezed due to cyber crime complaint from Gujarat but there is no such fraudulent activity in account only one international credit has been done by brother now how to unfreeze the account
A.Dear Client,
When an account is frozen by the Bank on the instruction of Cyber Crime Cell on receipt of a complaint of a fraudulent transaction. This means that the account holder cannot access the funds in the account, and cannot make any transactions. The account shall remain inoperative/frozen until the cybercrime incident is investigated and resolved. To unfreeze or to make your account operative, you need to contact the Cyber Crime Cell and the Bank and follow their advice/instructions. The National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCCRP) is an initiative of the Government of India to facilitate victims/complainants to report cybercrime complaints online. Once a cybercrime involving a suspected crime is reported online to NCCRP, they start an investigation into the complaint, and in the course of the investigation if required they can contact and call you to record your statement or for filing relevant documents. You may pursue the status of the case either physically from them or online.

A.Dear Client,
Here are some steps you can consider taking to address this issue:
Contact the Bank: The first step is to contact your father's bank immediately to understand the reason for the freeze and gather information about the situation. Request clarification on the exact nature of the complaint and the steps required to unfreeze the account.
Provide Necessary Documentation: If the bank requests any documentation or information to verify the legitimacy of the transactions, be prepared to provide it promptly. This may include proof of the international credit transaction made by your brother.
Cooperate with Authorities: If there is an ongoing cybercrime investigation, your father may need to cooperate with law enforcement agencies or provide any requested information related to the account and transactions. Ensure that all communications are made through legitimate channels.
Seek Legal Advice: Depending on the complexity of the situation and the reasons behind the account freeze, it may be advisable to consult with an attorney who specializes in financial and cybercrime matters. They can provide legal advice and representation if necessary.
Dispute Resolution: If the freeze is a result of a misunderstanding or error, work with the bank to resolve the issue. Escalate your concerns through the bank's customer service and dispute resolution mechanisms.
Monitor the Account: Keep a close eye on the account's status and any communications from the bank or law enforcement agencies. Ensure that you respond promptly to any requests for information or documentation.
Compliance with Legal Procedures: If there are legal procedures or requirements associated with the investigation, ensure that your father complies with them fully. Failure to do so may result in prolonged account freeze.
Patience: Resolving such issues can take time. Be patient and persistent in your efforts to resolve the situation.
Please note that the specific procedures and requirements for unfreezing a bank account can vary by jurisdiction and the circumstances of the case.
Thank you.
