How to Unfreeze a Bank Account Frozen by Cyber Cell
If your bank account is frozen by the cyber cell, it usually means that it has been linked to a suspicious transaction or complaint. Even innocent users face this due to receiving money unknowingly from fraudulent sources.
Steps to Unfreeze Your Bank Account:
-
Identify the reason for the freeze (ask your bank for the reference or acknowledgment number).
-
Collect all documents — bank statement, proof of genuine transaction, ID proof, etc.
-
Contact a cyber crime lawyer to draft a formal representation.
-
Submit a NOC request or representation letter to the investigating officer or cyber cell SHO.
-
Follow up regularly with both bank and cyber police until clearance is issued.
Your lawyer can also file a petition under BNSS Section 179 and 180 (related to seized property or accounts) to get the account released if no offense is proven.
How to Remove Lien or Hold from Bank Account
A lien or hold means the bank has restricted transactions on your account. It can only be removed when the cyber cell or bank gets confirmation that your account is not involved in any fraud.
To Remove Lien:
-
Write a representation to the concerned cyber cell officer.
-
Attach all supporting transaction documents.
-
Get help from your cyber crime advocate to file a request for account re-verification.
-
Once the investigation clears you, the lien is removed automatically.
What is a 14C Notice from Cyber Cell?
A 14C notice is a legal communication issued under the Information Technology Act when your name, mobile number, or bank account is found connected to a cybercrime complaint.
If You Receive a 14C Notice:
-
Do not ignore or panic.
-
Contact a cyber crime lawyer immediately.
-
Reply formally through your advocate within the given time.
-
Do not visit the police station alone — always go with legal representation.
-
Prepare proof of legitimate transactions and communications.
Under the BNSS, non-response to a valid notice can lead to stronger action, so timely legal help is essential.
What to Do If You Get a Notice from Cyber Cell
-
Read the notice carefully to know the section and allegation.
-
Gather all related transaction details, chats, and bank proofs.
-
Consult a cyber law expert to frame your legal reply.
-
Never admit fault without understanding the full case.
-
Follow up through official communication only.
A well-drafted reply often prevents unnecessary legal proceedings.
