police usually initiate a freeze on the fraudster’s account, not yours. But looks like you received or sent money linked to a fraud, & they flagged it for investigation.

The Investigating Officer (IO) from the police or cyber cell who froze the account has to issue a NOC to the bank to unfreeze your acc. You need to submit a written application or affidavit to the police or bank. Then bank takes 7 days at max.

To fast track:

Visit your local Cyber Crime Cell (where you filed the complaint). Meet the IO, request case progress, and specifically ask when they will issue the unfreeze letter to the bank.

If there’s no response, file an RTI asking for the status of your case, date of freeze order, and estimated timeline. Or you can approach the DCP/ACP or Cybercrime Nodal Officer

If it’s urgent or a large sum, you can consult a lawyer and file a writ petition in the High Court under Article 226 to get your account unfrozen faster.

Get a written acknowledgment at every step, don’t just come back after hearing “we will do it”
