We evaluate the potential of the DUNE Near Detector (DUNEND) for establishingbounds for heavy neutral leptons (HNL). This is achieved by studying how thepresence of HNLs affects the production rates of active neutrinos, therefore,creating a deficit in the neutrino charged current (CC) events at the LArTPC ofthe DUNEND. The estimated bounds on HNLs are calculated for masses between 1 eVand 500 MeV. We consider 10 years of operation (5 in neutrino and antineutrinomode) and obtain limits of $|U_{\mu4}|^2 < 9 \times 10^{-3} (4 \times10^{-2})$and $|U_{e4}|^2 < 7\times10^{-3} (3 \times10^{-2})$ for masses below 10 MeV anda 5\%(20\%) overall normalization uncertainty in the neutrino charged currentevent rates prediction. These limits, within the region of masses below 2(10)MeV, are better than those that can be achieved by DUNE direct searches for thecase of a 5\%(20\%) uncertainty. When a conservative 20\% uncertainty ispresent, our limits can only improve current constraints on $|U_{e4}|^2$ by upto a factor of 3 in a small region around 5 eV and set limits on $|U_{\mu4}|^2$in a mass region free of constraints (40 eV - 1 MeV).
