How do I reactivate my dormant account?

To reactivate your dormant account, you generally need to follow a straightforward process that involves visiting your bank branch and completing a few verification steps.

Steps to Reactivate Your Account

Bringing a dormant account back to an active status typically involves these key actions:

1. Visit Your Branch and Submit an Application:

   • You must personally visit the branch where your account is maintained.
   • Submit a written application specifically requesting the reactivation of your account. It's crucial that this application includes your signature, which must match the operating instructions associated with your account for security and verification.

2. Provide Self-Attested Proof of Identity and Address:

   • To confirm your identity and current residential details, you are required to submit self-attested copies of your proof of identity (such as a passport, Aadhar card, or driver's license) and proof of address (like a utility bill or a recent bank statement). Ensure these documents are valid and up-to-date.

3. Initiate Any Transaction:

   • After your application and supporting documents have been processed and verified by the bank, the final step to fully reactivate your account is to initiate any financial transaction. This could be a simple deposit, a withdrawal, a fund transfer, or any other banking activity. Performing a transaction confirms to the bank that the account is now actively being used.
