Legal Assistance Required – SBI Digital Banking Services Blocked Witho
24-Jan-2026 (In Banking / Finance Law)
Dear Sir/Madam
I need legal guidance regarding an issue with my SBI bank account digital services
My YONO SBI app is blocking all fund transfers and beneficiary addition with messages like Transaction declined for safety reasons I am also unable to transfer money through UPI Even SBI Net Banking is not allowing login despite entering correct credentials
I am receiving repeated emails from SBI stating suspicious or fraudulent activity even though I am only trying to transfer money to my regular beneficiary Due to this over suspicious activity restriction no outgoing payments are possible from my account
This is a very old and regular account but suddenly SBI has imposed restrictions without any clear reason Currently money can be credited into my account but cannot be transferred out which is causing serious inconvenience
I have already met the SBI Branch Manager and raised complaints through YONO support and other channels but the issue remains unresolved.
Kindly advise
From the facts stated, it appears that your SBI account has been placed under debit restriction / partial freeze due to internal risk or AML (anti-money laundering) alerts. While banks are empowered to temporarily restrict transactions for security reasons, they cannot indefinitely block withdrawals without due process or communication.
You should immediately submit a written complaint to the Branch Manager seeking the exact reason for restriction and the specific compliance requirement (KYC re-verification, risk clearance, or internal audit flag). Obtain an acknowledgment.
If the issue is not resolved within 7 working days, escalate the matter to the Regional Manager / Customer Service Department of State Bank of India through email and registered post.
