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
It got triggered due to payment on Unipay. Have been doing bigger transactions on other sites but never faced an issue. Does Unipay trigger it specifically?

What's the transaction amount on unipay? Was it successful? Faced the same issue, took them 4 days to unfreeze the account.

I paid using idfc debit dc last night on sbi unipay no debit freeze as such. But received automated call for one of the transaction to confirm if it's made by me. All transactions were successful too

Total 6 transactions
1. 12000
2. 45000
3. 15000
4. 4000
5. 2560
6. 4488

Received call only for 15k transaction. It might be because I have made transactions continuously one after the other. The system might have assumed a fraud as the time between the first three transactions is very less
