ICICI's Dubai branch frezees accounts for documents submission delay

Dubai, Feb 2 (UNI) India's largest private sector bank ICICI has frozen the accounts of several customers here after they failed to submit the required documents.

The deadline set by the bank for submission of documents ended yesterday, forcing the bank to take the measure, a bank official told Emirates Today.

The official, however, said that the accounts would be reopened after the documents were submitted.

The original documents kept at the bank's Mumbai office got damaged in July 2005 floods.

The damaged documents reportedly included papers submitted by the customers at the time of opening savings and current accounts, demat accounts for trading and investing, home loans and auto loans, and ICICI Direct online trading accounts.
