Yes. Your bank may hold the funds according to its funds availability policy. Or it may have placed an exception hold on the deposit. If the bank has placed a hold on the deposit, the bank generally should provide you with written notice of the hold.
A federal law, the Expedited Funds Availability Act (EFA), or Regulation CC, provides exceptions that allow banks to delay or "hold" funds deposited by check for an extended period of time. When this happens, you must be given a notice stating the reason for the hold and when your funds are available for withdrawal.
According to banking regulations, reasonable periods of time include an extension of up to five business days for most checks. Under certain circumstances, the bank may be able to impose a longer hold if it can establish that the longer hold is reasonable.
In many cases, there is nothing you can do if the bank has a hold on your deposit. You can check with your bank to make sure there isn't an error, but you'll most likely have to wait until the hold clears.
Banks and building societies can take money from your current account to cover missed payments on other accounts you have with them. This is called the 'right of set off'.

Unless your bank has set a withdrawal limit of its own, you are free to take as much out of your bank account as you would like. It is, after all, your money. Here's the catch: If you withdraw $10,000 or more, it will trigger federal reporting requirements.

That said, cash withdrawals are subject to the same reporting limits as all transactions. If you withdraw $10,000 or more, federal law requires the bank to report it to the IRS in an effort to prevent money laundering and tax evasion. Few, if any, banks set withdrawal limits on a savings account.
The Short Answer: Yes. Share: The IRS probably already knows about many of your financial accounts, and the IRS can get information on how much is there. But, in reality, the IRS rarely digs deeper into your bank and financial accounts unless you're being audited or the IRS is collecting back taxes from you.
If you fail to make payments, creditors will try to recoup the funds you owe them. In some cases, they may take legal action and request a bank levy. This may freeze your bank account and give creditors the right to take the funds directly from it.

As per the updated regulations from the RBI (Reserve Bank of India), with effect from 1st January 2022, users of most banks can withdraw cash from ATM five times per month. These five transactions are inclusive of both financial and non-financial (balance inquiry, mini statements etc.) services at any ATM.
