Your WazirX account
is blocked?
WazirX publishes exactly one timeframe a locked-out user can plan around — 72 hours before contacting support about a pending KYC. On the crypto withdrawal suspension that follows a first INR deposit, it publishes no date at all, and that is worth knowing before anyone promises you one.

Select what matches your situation
The documents went in and nothing has changed.
KYC pending
Your verification is being reviewed.
What it means
WazirX states it aims to approve all KYC within a few hours, and that verification can take longer when it is receiving a large number of signups or when a particular submission needs further verification.
What WazirX requires
Nothing, inside the published window.
Your first step
72 hours is the line WazirX draws itself: it asks users not to contact support unless more than 72 hours have passed since submission.

Why a WazirX account cannot withdraw
Verification, bank verification and a compliance suspension are three separate gates. An account can be past two of them and still be unable to move funds.
KYC has not been approved
WazirX states that KYC verification is required in order to deposit, withdraw and trade. Until it is approved, none of the three is available.
Details on the documents do not match
WazirX names a details mismatch — where the name, address or ID card number do not match the documents submitted — as a reason KYC is not approved, and states that the account remains blocked until further notice in that case.
The bank account has not been verified
Bank verification is mandatory to withdraw on the platform, and WazirX states the withdrawal options are enabled only after it succeeds. An approved KYC on its own is not enough.
Crypto withdrawals suspended after a first INR deposit
WazirX states that the required compliance measures must be completed before crypto withdrawals can be enabled, and that crypto withdrawals are suspended following a user's initial INR deposit.
Re-verification of an existing account
WazirX publishes a re-KYC process separately from first-time verification, so an account that has worked for years can be asked to verify again.
One of these has no published end date. WazirX states it is working to enable crypto withdrawals but offers no estimated completion, and this page does not supply one on its behalf.
5 things that will make the situation worse
Do not contact support about a KYC inside 72 hours
WazirX asks users not to, and states it aims to approve within a few hours where the volume of signups allows.
Do not resubmit the same documents after a mismatch
The published cause is that the name, address or ID card number do not match. Sending the same pair again reproduces the same result.
Do not expect a reason for a rejection
WazirX states plainly that it reserves the right to reject applications without giving reasons. A case built on extracting one has nowhere to go.
Do not assume approved KYC means you can withdraw
Bank verification is a separate mandatory step, and the withdrawal options only appear after it.
Do not pay anyone claiming to lift the crypto withdrawal suspension
WazirX describes it as compliance measures that must be completed before crypto withdrawals can be enabled — a platform state, with no user-level exception to sell.
The required compliance measures must be completed before crypto withdrawals can be enabled.

What to check first on WazirX
Check which gate you are behind
KYC, bank verification and the crypto withdrawal suspension are three separate things, and only two of them are about your documents.
Count 72 hours before escalating a pending KYC
WazirX asks users not to contact support before that, and states it aims to approve within a few hours in normal conditions.
Compare the three fields on the documents
Name, address and ID card number against what was submitted — the mismatch WazirX names as a cause of non-approval.
Verify the bank account separately
Bank and UPI verification is mandatory for withdrawals and is enabled only after it succeeds.
What WazirX may ask you for
WazirX documents its verification steps rather than a document list, and the sequence matters because the two verifications gate different things.
Identity documents for KYC
WazirX states that some applications are approved automatically and that whether they are depends on the upload quality of the documents submitted.
Bank account and UPI verification
Mandatory to withdraw. WazirX states the withdrawal options are enabled only after this verification succeeds.
Re-KYC, where an existing account is asked to verify again
WazirX publishes the reason for re-KYC and the steps to complete it as separate articles from first-time signup.
Consistent details across all of them
Name, address and ID card number are the fields WazirX names when it explains why a KYC was not approved.
WazirX publishes no timeframe for the crypto withdrawal suspension and no reason list for a rejected KYC beyond the details mismatch. Both gaps are stated here rather than filled: an estimate invented on a page like this becomes the number somebody plans around.

#Q1 of 8
When was your account blocked?
What we actually do
Identify which of the three gates is closed
KYC, bank verification and the platform-level crypto suspension all present as an account that cannot withdraw.
From: compliance@wazirx.com
Your account flagged for suspicious activity. Please complete KYC verification.
Check the timing against what is published
A few hours is the aim, 72 hours is the escalation threshold, and the crypto suspension has no published date at all.
Reconcile the documents field by field
Name, address, ID card number. The mismatch WazirX names is usually a transliteration or an old address, not a forgery.
DO
Clear facts
Documents
DON'T
Emotions
Threats
Prepare a resubmission that is actually different
A rejection without a reason still leaves the published cause to work through before anything is sent again.
Say when there is no lever
A platform-wide suspension with no published date is not a case, and we will tell you that rather than open one.
The decision is always the exchange's. What we control is that your case reaches it complete, correct and on time.
