[Resolved]  HDFC Bank — current account ending in 7979 in aundh bank has been turned inactive without intimation

Address:Pune, Maharashtra, 411007
Website:Hdfcbank.com

Inspite of clear guideline that dec 31 is deadline for aadhar linking out of blue our account has inactivated i was informed that it is re kyc issue. Am not sure which country will allow that out of blue one fine day when all your credits are done you decide to deactivate. There is huge problem as vendor payments and salaries are to be paid and you suddenly close.
I am looking at ways in which the business can be done with banker who understands the issue.
They might be doing compliance on their own accord (Not rbi) but surely they have lost a customer.

Please check your records ALL KYC documents were submitted at Nov 10 ...ALSO SEE THE CONFIRMATION FROM HDFC representative on NOV 11 2017
Even if you have some concerns you can always intimate the client of Freezing ...
Also not a single SMS has come after Oct 25th till Dec 8th when account was made inactive
Let me be blunt you want to use the MONEY INTEREST FREE from gullible customers

Now recently our current account has been disabled on 8th Dec WITH NO INTIMATION
which has caused us immense hardships and pain as this credit balance which is primarily our working capital.
Further to this your Branch Manager, Relationship managers refuse to talk to us(not picking up calls)
I have call logs, email to support this. On 11th afternoon after being on hold the customer support for HDFC person for close to an hour told me that due to RE:KYC issue and ONLY CREDITS CAN HAPPEN and you cannot WITHDRAW.I told her that all KYC documents were submitted on Nov 10 and if there was an issue why did the bank wait till 8th Dec to freeze our account (as your bank waits for all money to credit)

We are not experts but all these we feel HDFC BANK uses fraudulent practices to keep the money(INTEREST FREE)

With our understanding this situation we need to be compensated on following :

For everyday of locked account we should be credited at the rate of Overdraft for entire current
account balance. Also We need to compensated for all our business liabilities that might occur
due this unplanned action from the HDFC bank's side. We as law abiding citizens are willing to furnish all
details that are required from your side as per RBI norms not as per HDFC request.
But we are NOT GOING TO ALLOW YOU TO USE OUR MONEY INTEREST FREE.

IF THE ABOVE CONDITION IS NOT ACCEPTABLE WE REQUEST YOU TO STOP THIS RE KYC and CLOSE OUR ACCOUNTSand GIVE US AN DEMAND DRAFT on NAME of F
IRM with immediate effect
