[Resolved]  Kotak Mahindra (Kotak Super Advantage) — Miss Commitments by advisor

To,
Kotak Mahindra old Mutual Life Insurance Limited.
Mumbai.

Sub: Complaint and Clarification Regarding Policy No.01863300

Sir/Madam,
This for your kind information that last month I had received call from your Delhi Head office and one girl introduced herself self as branch manager of kotak life insurance company and explain me regarding a Plan Kotak Super Advantage whose contents are given below.

1. That I have to pay Premium only for 3 years and after that if will withdraw the same after completion of 5th year then 120% of 1st premium will be paid by the company along with the fund value which I would pay in 3 years to you.

2. That Sum Assured of RS 800000/- will be continued till the age of 75yr if at the time of withdrawal I left 10% of total fund value remain in the folio and mortality charges will be deducted every year from that amount for the continuation of said assurance value.

3. That my funds will be invested in market from the very 1st year (Maximum portion in Govt. securities and rest in Equity market)

4. That No allocation, withdrawal and any other type of charges will be deducted from your amount except mortality charges.

5. Death claim will be applicable in case of Natural, Accidental and public Transport for all three reasons.

But I was very much surprised to read the policy when I received the same dated on 5th fib 2010 that almost all the things those were told were not in line as told by the advisor like.

1. as per your Policy page 11th no.14. Charges in which it is clearly said that first year premium will not be allocated towards the investment fund.

2. Policy administration charges page 11th which is .25% every month.

3. It is not clearly mentioned anywhere in policy that if at the time of withdrawal I left 10% of total fund value remain in the folio then policy will be continued till the age of 75yrs and only mortality charges will be deducted every year from that amount for the continuation of said assurance value.

4. It is nowhere written clearly that after the payment of three premiums if will withdraw the amount on completion of 5th yr then 120% will be given as fixed advantage multiple.

5. I have not opted for ECS facility for premium payment but it is written on the scan image printed on the back pages that I have taken the same.

6. On 2nd last page of policy where terms and condition are printed I have not signed on the same i.e. both of the signatures showing on page are not mine which clarify that somebody done forge signature of mine on the same which is a major compliance issue.

7. According to IRDA ruling it is mandatory that before issuance of a policy insurance company has to confirm all the benefits and charges to beneficiary but I have not received the same as mobile no. mentioned on policy is not mine and also does not exist.

On the whole all the above said commitments told by the advisor but are not in actual as per policy I received need written confirmation from the company side else I will be forced to surrender your policy right now of move further by taking help of provision 13(3) public grievance redressal rule 1998/Consume redressal forum.

I have also been trapped by kotak smart advantage agent and he too assured me that I will get a good return and can withdraw the amount in three years and keep the corpus so that after the term period of 15 years is over i will get the assured amount I will please request somebody how can i get all the premium amount from them i am least interested in their benefits. Please give a good suggestion who should i contact to get my invested money back with out any interest.
hi, am also ricived call frm kptak its totaly celculate chitting fund caz am also captured in bajaj allianz, this companey also like bajaj alliainz, i dont know y this big companey doing like this plz people weak up,
I also got a call from one of representative from kotak named sandeep khowala. He told me that it's not a ulip product rather would be invested in mutual funds, so there is no danger in investing into the product. But later on i inquired from kotak site where it was clearly mentioned that it is purely a ulip product. So, basically these representative's basic motto is to loot ur money and try to convince you to invest in such products where they have more commissions.
Moreover i am fed up with any of the ulip products. I have 4-5 ulip products and none of them has shown any sort of growth. My fund values are less than what i have invested in 3 years. So, i would suggest that fixed deposits are better than any ulip products as they would never give you negative value and atleast you can grow ur hard earned money though slowly but satisfactorily.
:) I got call 3 times from 3 diffrent Guys. 1st one told me I will get 200% bonus of the 1st premium, If I will pay 30000 as 1st prm. I will get 60000+ sum assured after 3 years. 2nd one told me I will get Sum assured+200% bonus+12% compound interest. And 3 one was great among all for selling dreams, her name was Priya she called me from Kotak head off. Branch Sec.18 Noida phone no was [protected]. According to her I will get 180% bonus of 1st Prm. and I can withdraw it after 6 months...amzzzzzz...its the 1st Paln I heard ever which will double your money in just 6 months whereas others take 8-10 years if i am correct.

And some things to be noticed, this plan opens for 1 or two days only( I am getting calls for 1 month ) and If i have finance probs they can give us a weeks time... Bond papers will be issued after making the Payment...

Please beware of Kotak Mahindra, lagacy proverb ( Nakkalo se Savdhan) has been changed now ...:)
I just gotta call from Kotak, an executive spoke followed by a sales rep. I dont wanna repeat what ppl have already said in this forum. But yes its about the same promises. In brief; 50K invested today will become 91K in 3 years and its tax free blah blah...he also talked abt 15 days of free look period where u can cancel the policy i[censored] are not in terms with the policy that u received. - What do u ppl suggest? Should I or shudn't I invest in this policy? - Karthik
thanks for this post...i was about to fall in this trap of 200% guaranteed bonus on 1st premium and compound interest for 3 years lockin period.
the guy disconnected the phone when i said if he can mail/post me Kotak's brochure carrying the same terms and conditions which he mentioned on the phone. he said he cannot provide that.
these people expect us to invest the money by just listening to them over the phone and then they keep asking if i have any doubt with the policy details.
this is the 2nd bad experience i have with Kotak...1st was with Savings Bank Account wherein they started deducting money due to non maintainence of average minimum balance even though i have a letter on Kotak's letter head signed by the branch manager stating this is a zero balance account apart from verbal confirmation at the time of account opening.

Kotak Mahindra, sorry to say but you have lost it completely.
I feel sorry because its an Indian company trying to fool Indians.
IRDA clearly says that the project of any fund must be 6 % to 10 % and based upon the market performance. I dont understand how this company can say 200 and 300. These people keep on calling me atleast 3 times are week even after saying I am not intrested in this.
I also lost 6000 Rs in Birla after investing it in a period of 6 years, a big fund was allocated to insurance and premium allocation charges.
It is better not to invest in Private who promises a big return.
GUys,
Just now I got a call promoising almost the same thing. How big scandle is this?? If kotak is not doing this and if they are not they should come out and say what is correct. Blooddy every one is on a run here. Infact agent lady is giving me the personal contact details buillshit what I am suppose to do with it. This is is just insane!!
Do we know what response Mr. Hanuwant Singh got for his complaint? I am also having similar complaint and looking for a resolution.
Dear,

After a long chain mail war with the company officials, CC to IRDA and company grievance cell, the branch manager of Ludhiana location from Kotak life insurance personally visited twice at my home and apologies and I handed over my policy to him for free look, I finally got my money back after nominal deduction of rs 180/- only even free look period was over...

Regard
Hanuwant Singh
I also got the call from kotak pune, for the poilicy, and told the same things regarding, the policy, that if you cancel your policy after 3 years you get 1lakh 63 thousands but they have not mentioned in the policy documents. and if you complete your policy for 20 years then you get 57 lakh as a return for the investment of 36 thousand per year, and when I asked in the main branch that is it true, that such type of information is not my document, that i will get that much of amount, they told me that you will get nearly, 22 lakh after 20 years, means they lie with me, and all the above people. And yes I agree with this complaint. Please don't take kotaks policy hereafter.
I totally Agree with Mr. Hanumant and great thanks to Hanumant Sir for putting this valuable information for INDIAN PEOPLE. I also got the same policy and after reading policy document i came to know that policy is totally opposite of what was told to me. Policy document lacks many facts that were stressed by the Maya Kotak Life Insurance Sales Manager, Pune(Pune Station Branch).

I would suggest not to buy this policy bcs they take you full one year money as Premiuim Allocation Chanrges.

I was lucky that i reverted it within Free Look Period without any money loss.
If still some intersted in taking this risk he can take and can return in Free Look Period and can see himself what this rubbish is?
