Bank debited my account after customs department froze my FD account


05-Jan-2023 (In Customs & Central Excise Law)
Sir, Customs department has raked up a case of 1995 claiming i have to pay some balance with respect to an import license. They froze my personal FD account in a private bank and have debited 5 lacs which is their claim as per them. Customs commissioner gave me 3 months to prove i had paid all dues but the bank still debited my account. Please tell me is this is legal and how to proceed. I am 82 years old.

Sir
The dues which you have paid against import license need to be submitted before Commissioner of customs. It appears from your text that before the 3 months notice period is over, they have realised your bank fd. If so, then it's illegal. Please bring this to the notice of of the Commissioner of customs so that they can unfreeze the fd.
