If u have not given them cheques which have bounced, you can be sure that the HDFC Bank cannot get you arrested or file a criminal case against you. But if you allow an exparte decree to be passed in any suit that Bank files, they can get you under civil arrest in execution of the decree, if they are able to prove that you have sufficient assets to repay, but u defaulted.
