Discontinued policy without warning

Hi,
We have a Kotak Life Insurance policy and we always paid all the premiums on time.
This time on 29 June 2025, we missed a premium and on 15 July 2025, we directly received an email that our policy is been discontinued and they deducted 5000 rupees as well from the policy.
While we asked for the proof that they sent us a warning they are not responding to that, since I checked my spam, trash, and every single email...

      The company has misselled a policy no 09414860, the Branch manager and other attendees of new friends colony sold this policy stating she would get a return in 10 years after paying every annually.

      The return in this one takes place after 20 years. My mother would be retired in 1 years, how would she pay till 10 years and expect a maturity after 20years?

      We have been following up with them since the LOCK UP PERIOD; sent various physical letters and emails about the same, but they dont help us.

          I have been an employee of Kotak Life (AC Market, Shakespeare Sarani Road, Kolkata) for 1 year now.

          These people call up desperate jobseekers under the false pretext of a job profile called Team Development Manager, which is actually chain marketing for their policy business.

              Policy no. 03975321, Client id 68210386. Client Name - Mandar Sinnarkar

              Hello,
              I was supposed to get Rs. 15565/- on 5th March as yearly money back from this policy. But this now year till now I did not receive money till today. When checked with Local Pune office, I understood that payment was rejected due internal mistake at Kotak.
              I am suffering because of your mistake & lost interest for 10 days till today on this amount.
              When checked on telephone with local office, they do not have any idea on this.
              If I do not get money credited in account by today end (16th March 2021), I will lodge the legal case against Kotak

                Kotak Second Innings plan
                When took the policy was informed Policy Term is 18 years, however, was also informed that I need to pay only for 3 years compulsory. After 3 years, no need to pay. For Surrender was told that after 6th year, no surrender fee and full fund value will be redeemed.

                As per policy conditions and clause, this was accurate so agreed.

                But since the 4th year, I am every year asked to pay the premium and told if I dont pay, I will lose the entire funds. Its now the 11th year and again being asked to pay the premium even through policy terms and conditions say otherwise. When asking to redeem, I am infromed by the RM that I will lose all my funds. When I ask them to check the policy conditions - they do not reply and threaten to cancel and lose all money.

                Resolution Required: Redeem policy and credit full fund value to my bank account as per policy conditions that were explained to me.

                  Respected Sir,

                  Jai Hind. This is bring to your kind notice the malpractices being followed by Kotak Insurance. Please be informed that we had initiated a policy with Kotak Insurance in 2015. We deposited Rs. 3.4 Lac for about three years. Thereafter we requested to cancel our policy & return back our entire amount since we were not in a position to invest. After following them for almost 2 years they returned back Rs. 1.96 Lacs to us just a few days back. It was a horrifying experience with company begging for our hard earned money. Since then we have been asking them to return the balance amount as well but they do not agree. A complaint to IRDA through pgportal (Complaint No. DEAID/E/2021/00386) could not find me an answer. In fact IRDAI official simply forwarded me the company's reply. I still do not understand how a case can be closed without my consent. It clearly shows IRDAI official favoring the company.

                  I had requested to Kotak for written evidence which they have failed. They did not even send my account statement. It is clearly a case of cheating/malpractice.

                  Really not sure about the role RBI. Complaints to RBI about that Bank have not been answered. Really pathetic company.

                  These Banks pose a big threat to the society & should be shutdown.

                  Please look into this matter & do the needful from your end. I request my balance money back.

                  An early action from your end would be highly appreciated.

                  Thanking you,

                          Hello

                          Today i have personally dropped message to biplob goshami kotak life insurance manager on his mobile number few minutes back, he informed me he need two days time to find out as he is busy in month end closing great answer i do accept he is busy with month end but if it would have new policy he would have answered to all my queries.

                          Now i want you to know the actual story on february month i got many calls from kotak life insurance saying my two policies which 9829491 & 9829319 are due for payment in mar 10 2019 immediate i have informed mr. Dey my financial advisor to stop my ecs deduction he informed me he has submitted the ecs stop form to (Pankaj kr das asia code :[protected] on 28 feb but ecs may hit to my account which will dishonour if i dont maintain the amount so i said ok. Again i received msg on 31 mar for both this policies thank you for payment on 31.03.2019 suprise and shocked who paid this money thinking my dad may have paid and today again bigger shock the same ecs hit to my account again without my knowledge.

                          My question ia once ecs is dishonour how is it possible ecs redebit to my account without my instructions and why it happend. Now one policy payment deducted from my account today for rs. 100183/- for pol no. 9829319 this amount was maintaining for my son education and the other policy ecs hit to my account unfortunately amount was not there.

                          Now i am in urgent need of money pls return the amont debited from my account. Who will pay me back the dishonour charges. Pls share proper investigation which help to understand the case. None of the documents i have not signed any forms also for rediting nor any request sumitted.

                          Hope you will understand the situation and support to get this amount refund back as soon as possible.

                          Mail have been send to ms. Kavita gupta branch manager seerampore, west bengal, hooghly, mr. Ankit srivastava, rupesh sharma and biplob gosami and none of them responded on the mail.

                            Kotak has once again done a fraudulent taking money
                            Policy confirmation number [protected]

                            I was told the claim would not happen because of not completing 2 years

                            That means if issue happens within 2 years we will not get the claim

                            During the time of sale there was false information given by their own kotak insurance team saying everything can be claimed after 90 days

                            This is pure way of cheating customers

                            I request someone to kindly take a necessary actions against kotak to stop doing fraudulent during sale with innocent customers
                            They would not return your money. I had the same issue and got no response.

                              The company said that I should pay 10000 pr year till 10 year after that year in the 11th year my money would greater than the fixed deposit.
                              Now in this 11th year the company said that because of market issue the value of the money hasn't increased and are me the same amount as paid by me in these 10 years without any additional amount. Even my total amount is 1 lac but the company is giving me only 90700 by decreasing the amount. How would I be knowing about the shares and if they wanted they should inform me within the maturation period but they told me this thing after the maturation. So this company is fraud to believe and even they don't provide any good services about the policy .All the form was even filled by them only my signature was taken from me on the form.

                                  I regret taking a policy in may, 2008 for 10 yrs from kotak as there systems are so downgraded/not up to the current standard i do not want anyone to purchase any of their products.

                                  1. I was not able to login to their portal for 7 yrs. To make a payment.
                                  Have to visit their branch every quarter to make payments for 7 yrs. Hours
                                  & hours of money/time wasted on calls. Also picked a guy from the
                                  Indranagar branch in bengaluru, he ran away and washed his hands
                                  Stating he has left that branch. They did not even allow me to surrender.

                                  2. At maturity, they credited an amount and then mentioned, their systems have calculated incorrectly and had an over payment.
                                  If their systems cannot do anything, why are they in the market. Work on
                                  Your systems and then start your business.

                                  Actions i am taking:
                                  In my office, i am able to tell these stories to my colleagues regarding kotak's pathetic system and able to succeed in diverting them from kotak. We do have a kotak paymint card for food coupons, we all have discussed that we will withdraw in the month of dec, 2018 (Few) and mostly in march, 2019.
                                  Fraud by the company
