[Resolved]  HDFC Bank — charges and negative balance on a dormant account

I have a salary account created 5years ago by my first company and i have not been using it for more than 2 years.
I was shocked to see the negative balance -9k in my account charging every month in the name of charges.
As per rbi rules they are not supposed to charge any make it negative balance account just by imposing charges.
Unable to connect hdfc customer care either
How can i get my charges waived off and close the account?

I had a salary account when i quit my job it was converted to saving account and started deducting charges and now it stands at -9k Acc no-[protected].
Paying rs.9000 is highly impossible for me pls understand.
An employee from hdfc has sent me a closure form but then he was asking me to pay the charges.
As per RBI it clearly states you cannot charge and make it negative by imposing non maintenance charges as you are not serving the customer in this case.
Please do the needful and help me close the account by waiving off the charges or I will be forced to lodge a complaint with the banking ombudsman.
Thanks in advance.
