I received an email asking me to submit an ID and proof of address for my account restrictions to be lifted. Why all of a sudden do you need this? Besides, my account has already been verified through my bank card.

So my case was finally resolved. Thank you Paypal.
I did all these steps and got my issue fixed with the last resort, Upload via NAME CHANGE PROCESS

Upload via NAME CHANGE PROCESS (as last resort ONLY)
If you don't have an open case requiring additional documentation you can upload your documents by following the below steps:
- Log in to your PayPal account.

- Click Change your legal name.
- Select “Personal Name Change (marriage, divorce, legal)” and click Continue.

- Click Open. Make sure you've given the file a recognisable name (e.g. John Doe photo ID, or Jane Doe phone bill).
- For the type of document, select "Other" from the drop-down menu.
- In the “Description” box, include the reason you're submitting the documents. Please include the case ID if it's available (e.g. Proof of address for Confirm Identity process, or Proof of shipping for PP case ID PP-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx). This helps us identify and attach your documents to the correct case.
- Click Attach File.
- Repeat steps 7 through 11 to attach additional files, up to a total file size of 9,900kB. Files that you upload appear in the attachments table. You can review the list and delete any files from there before sending it to PayPal.

Now my restriction has been lifted. Hopefully no issues alike will occur again.
