When a bank account is lien-marked or frozen by the Cyber Crime Cell, it often leaves the account holder helpless. This happens when the cyber police receive a complaint about an online fraud and trace suspicious transactions linked to your bank account.

If you are not involved in any fraud but your account has still been frozen, you need the help of an experienced Advocate for Bank Lien Removal who understands both the technical and legal process under the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) 2023.

One such experienced professional is Advocate Deepak, a cybercrime and digital law expert who has successfully helped several individuals in Noida, Delhi NCR, and across India in unfreezing bank accounts and obtaining NOCs from cyber cells.

Why Cyber Cell Puts Lien or Hold on Bank Accounts

Cyber Crime Cells often freeze or mark lien on bank accounts for the following reasons:

• Your account received funds from a fraudulent or scam-related transaction.

• A cyber complaint or FIR was registered on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal mentioning your account number.

• You received funds unknowingly from a scammer’s account.

• The cyber cell issued a 14C notice under BNSS 2023 directing the bank to hold the amount till investigation is completed.

In such situations, even innocent account holders suffer because the amount remains blocked until the investigation is over or a No Objection Certificate (NOC) is issued by the investigating officer.

Step-by-Step Process to Remove Lien Due to Cyber Complaint

1. Obtain Details from Bank
   Visit your branch and ask for details of the lien or freeze order, including:

   • Complaint number

   • Name of the police station or cyber unit

   • Contact details of the investigating officer

2. Gather Evidence and Documents
   Prepare all relevant documents such as:

   • Bank statement

   • PAN, Aadhaar

   • Proof of transaction (screenshots, UTR, chat, invoice)

   • Copy of cyber complaint acknowledgment

3. File a Representation Through Advocate
   Your advocate will draft a representation letter addressed to the Cyber Cell Officer explaining that the funds were legitimate and not linked to any fraud.

4. Submit Application for NOC
   After reviewing the representation, the investigating officer issues a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to your bank authorizing the removal of the lien.

5. Bank Action
   Once the bank receives the NOC, the lien is lifted, and your account becomes operational again.

6. If Delayed
   If there is no response, your advocate can file a petition before the Judicial Magistrate or High Court requesting direction to the cyber cell for releasing the account.
