Account Lien on Federal Bank SB Account

I am writing in connection with a lien placed on my Federal Bank account which, as per my bank’s communication and a follow-up call to the 1930 helpline, is linked to a cybercrime complaint filed at Varapuzha Police

The helpline has also informed me that my account has been marked as “Level 4”. However, I have not received any direct communication or notice from the investigating team so far



I have no connection to any fraudulent activity, and all my financial transactions are legitimate and transparent.

Details of the Flagged Transaction:

On 12th July 2025, an amount was credited to my account, which I understand has been flagged.

I had purchased a mobile phone and its insurance on Amazon.in for my friend and neighbor using my own credit card.

The mobile phone was delivered to his residential address, not mine.

He later reimbursed me for the full amount via bank transfer.


There was no commercial transaction or resale involved. It was purely a personal favor for a known individual.


These transactions are fully traceable and verifiable through Amazon and my credit card statement.

What I Have Done So Far:

I have submitted a formal explanation letter and my KYC documents to Federal Bank, also I find out the email ID of this current police station and I also send the details we are email.

So can you please show some light on this issue is it a serious issue or does anyone face the same.
 
How to fix this. It's my primary account for recieved mutual trailing commission & health insurance commission and payout from my zerodha account and mutual fund SIP. I immediately changed account to kotak 811 super for the same. Police and bank is saying it will take time. Ask me to wait. What's this Level 4. How to avoid these things in future?

Kotak will definitely freeze your account on excess credit with in short period of time, more risky than Federal bank.

Use SBI or any Govt bank. Now balance is waived on most of the entry level accounts.

Send mail to support@federalbank.co.in and provide details on the current situation.
