he must have signed terms and condions for loan . the loan agreement must be containing a clause "I hereby grant and confirm the existence of the right of lien and set-off with the Bank, which it may use anytime to utilise any money belonging to me and deposited with the bank, towards any outstanding dues".

read your loan agreement carefully .

This right is available as per Indian Contract Act. A lien is the right to retain all securities of the customer in respect of the general balance due from him (Section 171 of Indian Contract Act).
