A.Dear Client,
The National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal(NCCRP) is an initiative of the Government of India to facilitate victims/complainants to report cybercrime scams or complaints online. Once a complaint is received by the Cyber Crime Cell from any source regarding any fraudulent transaction caused directly or indirectly through your assigned Bank account, the concerned bank is directed to freeze or withhold the operation of the Bank account till the completion of the investigation into the said complaint. Accordingly, the Bank withheld the operation of the said account marking a lien on it. So, in this situation, you have to wait for the completion of the investigation into the complaint by the Cyber Crime Cell and need to extend your cooperation in the investigation to get the matter resolved at the earliest so that the operation of your bank account is restored on the direction of the Cyber Cell. Depending upon the complexity of the scam and the information available, an investigation may take time from 3 months to 6 months and a year. Until and unless you are acquitted by the investigating agency of the cyber scam, your application for a visa or renewal of your passport may be withheld by the authority on the grounds of economic offense. You can hire the service of an Advocate to keep the track of investigation and take steps accordingly for quick disposal of the complaint/scam.

A.Dear Client,

Make sure to keep records of all communication with the bank, the complaint number, and any other relevant information. If they do not respond, consider visiting your bank's local branch in person, explaining the situation and providing them with the complaint number.

Your passport renewal should not be directly affected by a frozen bank account due to a P2P transaction. However, it's essential to ensure that you have no pending legal issues or financial disputes that could raise concerns during the passport renewal process. Visa application processes typically involve background checks and the assessment of your financial stability. While a frozen bank account might not directly lead to visa denial, it's essential to resolve the issue before applying for a visa, as it could raise questions about your financial situation and credibility.
