It is depending on the individual bank's discretion. If
account is not operated since 6 months, it treated as
dormant account. If not operated more than one year, it
treated as inoperative. In these type of accounts, credits
will be allowed (ECS credit of dividend warrants etc.,) but
debits not allowed till receipt of written request from the
account holder/s.

In banking parlance, in case of saving account, an account
is dormant if it is not operated for a period of 1 year and
will become inoperative if it is not operated for 2 years
(inclusive of 1 dormant year). In case of current account,
it is 6 month + 6 months

Answer / kg
If you do not make any withdrawal from your account for 1 year then you account will become inactive, and then you will not be able to withdraw money from it (by any mean like ATM, Cheque or so on) however you will be able to deposit money in your account without any problem.
If for next 1 year (total 2 years) you don’t make any withdrawal then your account will be declared as Dormant and you will not be able to make any transaction from your account. In case of current account the time period is 6 months and 1 year.
