Hi mohammedIqbal-0970 ,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here,
Please refer to this blog which gives complete details of Azure Netapp supported regions: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/explore/global-infrastructure/products-by-region/?products=netapp
Based on the error message: Creation of netAppAccounts has been restricted in this region. This situation may occur when you try to attempt to create a NetApp account.

Cause: Azure Resource Provider for Azure NetApp Files is not registered successfully.

Solution: Complete all the steps described in Register the NetApp Resource Provider.

• Navigation: In Azure Portal, go to subscriptions a select subscription using for ANF a under subscription, check and click on Resource Providers a in search box type netapp.
• Sometime issue may be related to **subscription (**EA, CSP or PayG segments): Non-paying subscriptions for creating Netapp account. Non-paying subscription has no default access to ANF. Regional quota access request needs to be raised(quota) in this scenario

Adding more information to the above response!

Problem: Error "Creation of 'netAppAccounts' has been restricted in this region" when deploying netapp file

Cause: You need to use a subscription that is either falling under EA, Visual,CSP or PayG segments. You would need to use a subscription that is linked to a payment method.

This should be handled as a region access request, Please refer to the below link for the detailed information.
