I didn't get this mail but my rewards portal got unblocked within a week after BM's home visit. He just asked all transactions were done by you. I said yes. I think he meant are all transactions genuine. But he was too polite to ask on my face 🤣. You should also invite your BM for evening tea and some investment advice 😜

Called them. They seem to say its due to security concern. Lets see if they unblock it soon. But IDFC seems risky to keep high balances.
That is why I asked for RCU freeze. It can be removed just by calling them. If they have taken confirmation regarding txns then it will be fixed in few hours

Yes avoid keeping high balance in IDFC
