According to a letter sent to banks by the BFIU, the accounts would be kept frozen for 30 days and the period can be extended further.
The banks and financial institutions have also been asked to provide information regarding transactions, account opening data, and know your customer (KYC) form data.
The order applies to both the personal and institutional accounts of the targeted individuals.
