I received the mail within an hour and filled out all of the required information (if you need assistance filling out the form, please let me know in a comment) and send it to the given address. After two days, I was able to remove all of the holds from my account and got the AdSense and related funds directly in my account.
If you’re wondering if they asked for any further documents, the answer is ‘No’. I was not asked to produce any additional paperwork, such as an AdSense payment receipt or a xerox of my Pan card.
