Can a bank freeze savings account citing kyc non-compliance?

Yes. The bank has the right to freeze a bank account (irrespective of the type of account) if they are not able to verify the KYC details of the customer. KYC stands for Know Your Customer and it is a process which checks the background of the customer and verifies his details like name, address, occupation etc. This is done to prevent illegal elements like terrorists or smugglers to gain access to the banking system. So, if your K YC fails, the bank may freeze your account to prevent illegal activities. If you can prove your details to the bank, then, they will be more than happy to re-instate your account.
