If your Yes Bank account is showing “No Debit”, it means you cannot withdraw or transfer money from your account temporarily. However, you may still receive money (credits are allowed).
This situation can be stressful, especially if you need urgent funds. Let’s understand it in simple words.
🔎 What Does “No Debit” Mean?
“No Debit” is a restriction placed by the bank that:
❌ Stops ATM withdrawals
❌ Stops UPI & online transfers
❌ Stops cheque payments
✅ Allows money to be credited
It is a safety or compliance restriction.
🧾 Main Reasons Why Yes Bank Marks “No Debit”
1️⃣ KYC Not Updated (Most Common Reason)
If your KYC (PAN, Aadhaar, address proof) is incomplete or expired, the bank can freeze debit transactions.
👉 RBI rules require banks to keep KYC updated.
2️⃣ Suspicious or Unusual Transactions
If the bank detects:
Large sudden deposits
Multiple high-value transfers
Transactions linked to fraud complaints
The account may be restricted for security.
3️⃣ Court Order or Legal Notice
If there is:
Court attachment
Income tax notice
Loan recovery case
The bank must legally restrict your account.
4️⃣ Negative Balance or Loan Default
If:
You have unpaid credit card dues
Loan EMI bounced multiple times
Overdraft unpaid
The bank may restrict debit access.
5️⃣ Account Dormant for Long Time
If you didn’t use your account for 1–2 years, it may become inactive, leading to debit restrictions.
