The Income Tax Department can freeze bank accounts for tax recovery under Section 226(3). Our bank account freeze lawyer in Kolkata files objections and representations before the Tax Recovery Officer (TRO) showing that the demand is disputed before appellate authorities, the assessee has filed an appeal with stay, installment payments have been arranged, or the attachment is causing extreme hardship. We file applications for release on payment of the demanded amount in installments. If the assessment itself is erroneous, we challenge the underlying demand before the CIT(A) or ITAT. We also file writ petitions before the Calcutta High Court for illegal or disproportionate attachments.
The GST department frequently freezes bank accounts for non-filing of returns or tax demands. Our bank account freeze lawyer in Kolkata helps by filing pending returns to regularize compliance, making part-payment of outstanding tax, filing objections before the GST officer, applying for revocation of the freeze in the interest of business continuity, challenging the freeze order before the GST Appellate Authority, and filing writ petitions before the High Court for arbitrary freezes. GST freezes can be resolved quickly by filing returns and making payment arrangements. We handle the complete process from compliance to litigation.
Police can freeze bank accounts during criminal investigations under Section 106 BNSS. Common reasons include the account receiving proceeds of cyber fraud, the account used in hawala transactions, suspicion of money laundering, or the account linked to a crime. Our bank account freeze lawyer in Kolkata files applications before the Magistrate for defreezing under Section 457 BNSS, showing that the account holder is a bona fide third party with no involvement in the crime, the freeze is causing irreparable hardship, or continued freeze is not necessary for investigation. We also approach the High Court under Section 528 BNSS or Article 226 for illegal freezes.
Under the SARFAESI Act, 2002, banks can take possession of secured assets including freezing of accounts.

We also handle bank account freezes due to loan default notices from the bank.
Prevention is better than cure. Our bank account freeze lawyer in Kolkata advises on maintaining proper tax compliance by timely filing returns and paying taxes, maintaining KYC documents up to date with banks, responding promptly to any notices from tax or regulatory authorities, maintaining proper documentation for all large transactions, and keeping separate accounts for business and personal use. We also advise on structuring accounts to minimize impact if one account is frozen.
