Why might it be inactive?
A bank account can become inactive in a situation where it has not been used continuously for two years or more i.e. no transaction has been done with it. In such a situation, these bank accounts become inoperative or inactive as per RBI rules.
Now you should also know that when a bank account becomes inactive, you cannot withdraw any money from this account. If money is never withdrawn from your account, you can get information by going to customer care or your bank.
What to do then?
If you have not done any transactions from your bank account for a long time and now because of this the account has become inactive, then in such a situation you have to get it activated again. It has a simple process.
You have to take your passbook to the bank and also sign a copy of your Aadhar card and PAN card. After this, meet the concerned officer and submit these documents to him, after which your bank account is reactivated.
