Procedure and possibility to debit freeze joint savings account
Kindly guide me as to how to debit freeze joint savings account.
It is joint account with 7 members of a family and can only 1 member request the bank to debit freeze account?
The joint account is misused with unauthorized withdrawal and transfers to other single account with no accountability by 2 members out of 7 and the rest 5 are unaware of it. The funds belongs to say 1st member but siphoned out by the 6th member and 7th member.
Requested Bank but not cooperating stating

"The account Mode of operation is with survivorship clause, we cannot block account on instructions of one of the holders."

Is there any regulation or rule available issued by Reserve Bank of India which can be presented to bank for getting the debit freeze.
Thank you for your help.

With due respect, Sir, if you were to advise that please go to court then I can understand but here the bank is not cooperating and you
suggests consult "your banker". You meant the same bank refused to entertain? or any other?
I have approached "Expert" only after receiving response from Banker. If there is no reply or advise or knowledge to impart to me then would be best by saying that "it is not possible for Experts to guide to you as experts also lack knowledge and inforamtion""
Thank you
Please have a nice day
