A.Dear Client,
Apart from other reasons, a bank account is frozen by the Bank on the instruction of the Cyber Crime Cell on receipt of a complaint of a fraudulent or suspicious transaction. This means that the account holder cannot access the funds in the account, and cannot make any transactions. The account shall remain inoperative/frozen until the cybercrime complaint is investigated and resolved. The length of time it takes to investigate a cybercrime can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the case, the resources available to the investigators, and the cooperation of the victim. To unfreeze or to make your account operative, you need to contact your bank as well as Cyber Cell. They will be able to tell you more about the cybercrime incident and what you need to do to resolve the matter ASAP. Section 457 of the CrPC empowers a magistrate to use their discretion to order the conditional release of the seized/frozen amount. When the victim is known, but the credentials of the criminal who created the fake accounts are unknown, in that situation, the police seek a bond from the victim to release the seized/frozen money recovered from the victim's account. You may consult with a cyber crime expert or an Advocate handling cyber laws for further guidance and suitable steps.

A.Dear Client,
Account freezes are not permanent but generally require the account holder to take certain actions before they can be lifted. The freeze is typically lifted once the person has made payment in full to clear an outstanding debt to a creditor or the government. In some cases, the creditor may be able to settle the debt for a lower amount after both sides have negotiated.

In cases of suspicious activity, the bank generally lifts a freeze order after an investigation is complete. If illegal activity is detected, or if the account holder is found to be complicit in any fraud involving the account, the account may be permanently closed, and any remaining funds may be seized.
Thankyou.

A.Dear Sir,
If a letter is addressed by the concerned investigation officer to the Bank then it may happen otherwise you have to go to Court and get an order for defreezing your account.
