Axis Bank — Lien amount

Hi Team,

I was using Axis bank account 7 years before as a salary account, after that I moved my salary to other bank. Now(November - 2020) I logged into my Axis account, I can see a lien amount at 1450, so I called customer care, they were saying its Debit card annual fee charges, which means now I have to pay that lien amount to use the account or also to close the account. without sue the debit card for last 7 years why we have to pay the money.
Please note: I'm ready to use the account again, but I don't want to pay that lien amount 1450.
