# Temporary Hold on Your Account Due to Cyber Crime Complaint.
**There are various reasons for this, but I will speak only about those who are genuine and have been wrongfully caught in it.**
Every day, there are at least 10+ posts about the same issue: bank accounts being put on hold.
I would like to ask the legal and banking experts – Sir/Ma’am, even after court orders stating that banks or cyber police cannot instruct to freeze the entire amount, and that only the disputed sum should be put on hold or marked as lien, then why banks aren’t following this ?
Genuine customers are the ones bearing the brunt of this issue. Despite submitting every document requested by the bank, they receive no response or callback, leaving them helpless.
With due respect to all professions, not every citizen can afford legal counsel. To make matters worse, most cases are
registered in other states, adding immense mental and financial stress to individuals already burdened by daily hardships.
# Why has this become so frequent that we see new cases daily ?
# Why do Investigation Officers (IOs) neither respond to emails nor answer calls ?
Countless individuals have been wrongfully dragged into this and continue to suffer many have lost hope and given up. Despite clear court directives stating that the entire amount should not be frozen, these orders are routinely ignored. Consequently, innocent people are being denied access to their own hard-earned money.
# IS THIS CORRUPTION ?
# IS THIS A NEW SCAM ?
# IS THIS A CONTEMPT OF COURT ?
We all love our country, yet these injustices are crippling our progress. Those with a safety net or support may manage, but what about the ones who stand alone, with no family or friends?
# They suffer in silence while this broken system pushes them deeper into depression.
# Who exactly are we working for ?
# Why do government officials refuse to assist or consistently ignore issues like these ?
To clear a disputed sum of merely ₹1,000–₹2,000 and secure an NOC, an innocent person caught in this mess is forced to spend ₹30,000–₹40,000. Often, the amount demanded depends on the balance available in their bank account.
This has become disturbingly common, yet no one is willing to address it or simplify the process.
The consequences faced by innocent people include depression, an inability to meet daily expenses, harassment and criminal-like treatment from banks, and severe financial trauma.
This is now an everyday occurrence, and no one is listening or trying to ease the process.
# What do genuine people suffer?
# 1. Depression.
# 2. Struggle with daily expenses.
# 3. Harassment and criminal-type treatment from banks.
# 4. Financial trauma.
# Worst case scenario, a few of them might take extreme steps ( like self ha*m ) due to this unwanted harassment.
Digital India was meant for hassle-free convenience. Because of these scams and wrongful targeting of innocents, it has turned into digital **HARASSMENT** .
Those who are suffering from this will completely relate.
**No offense to any profession.**

# Has this now become acceptable ?
# Should the innocent be forced to endure further suffering ?
TLDR – Courts say banks can only freeze the disputed amount. Banks freeze entire accounts for ₹1-2K anyway. Innocent people pay ₹30-40K “settlements” for NOC while IOs ghost them. First-time victims get no info from banks. This is causing depression and financial ruin. Is this contempt of court?
