Kotak Mahindra Bank Complaints & Reviews

My bank account in your model town delhi branch has created a dummy charge in mca for rs 100 lacs on my company.

The said charge for rs 100 lacs was never availed by us but on checking during a new loan being taken by us it was found that this charge is standing in our company name.

We met the branch incharge and he wants 15 days time, we cannot afford and request closure of lien today. Sincere request it is sos urgency pls.

Our company name is rdc steels and allied services and old a/c no. Is[protected].

I am a kotak credit card user and this call was regarding the kotak credit card bill payment. I got a message from kotak when the statement was generated yesterday (30th may 2018) in which the due date was mentioned as 15th june. Today i got a call from a kotak executive and he was forcing me to make the minimum payment by tomorrow ie. By 1st june. When asked why, he started talking rudely. His name is suraj singh, [protected]. He is a total goon. His junior pedro dias [protected] uses languages such as "*my name* ko utha le jaunga". I have a proof of his dirty abusive messages.

Unfortunately, kotak has hired goons and gundas of the world in the recovery department. This kind of a behaviour is not at all tolerated. Please suggest, as i am planning to take a legal action on this.

It almost 3 4 month of opening 811 account and applied for debit card. They have charged me for debit card but yet nothing is received they are saying the delivery person is unable to find my house but how that is possible when amazon flipkart postman every one can find my house but how is that possible if 811 is unable to deliver my debit card then close my 811 account asap

Hi team,

With respect to my above stated car loan had recently applied for a top up loan with kotak. For which a new crn ie., *3810 received a credit of rs. 412752 on 28th may 2018.

Interest rate towards my car loan was confirmed as 9% during sanctioning of the loan however, when the welcome kit was received it is bought to my notice that the loan disbursed was a collateral loan with 15% interest rate which was never my requirement.
Also, it was then brought to my understanding that the emi of inr 14800 will be deducted from kotak saving account plus the inr 12000.00 emi will be deducted from my standard chartered salary account.
This came in as a big surprise to me since the conversation that i had with executive was totally different to what it was presented.

This was clearly a miscommunication on the product. Since, the executive did not understand my requirement and proceeded with loan approval.

Am really not sure how the cts calculation was done by the bank during the processing of this loan that this eligibility was derived since, my income per month is 66000.00 and i have a personal loan of 13801 + joint homeloan with emi 34100 + car loan 12000.

I am really frustrated as well as disappointed with the way the process of this loan has taken place which has put me into a financial crisis which will lead to defaults registration under my cibil history.

Hence would request you to cancel the loan that is been approved and retrive the amount from the kotak saving account with above crn.

Would request you to kindly take this email as a written confirmation on cancellation of the above loan.

I am happy to walk up to a branch to get this sorted and if needed i would lodge a complaint in consumer court since its my financial obligation.

Hope i will get a better solution for my complaint.

Museeb syed

Dear sir,

I'm holding salary account with kotak mahindra bank for the past 7 years and maintaining good service with them. For the past 4 years kotak mahindra bank is debiting 330rs+12 rs on may month stating that it's for prime minister insurance scheme, where as i've not at all opted for this bloody scheme.

I don't know how they are debiting my hard earned money without my signature on standing instructions. When i called customer care for the past 3 years they didn't give proper response and yesterday i've approached parry's branch, they also not giving proper response as they don't have records that i've opted this scheme.

How come you debit my money without my confirmation. I want the money back (Last 4 years) which was debited to credit back to my account.

My bank account number is [protected]

Regards,

Yuvaraj.

All my colleagues who have joined with me had received their original documents already two years ago however i'm the only one still wondering who to contact to get my certificates back. Please, could someone help me in this regard.

I would like to update you all that its been 4 Months now still my issue with Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited is NOT RESOLVED. Bank Charges still have not been reversed for my connected family account bearing Account No. [protected] & [protected] and still Bank Charges are being levied inspite of having maintaining sufficient balance in my main account no. [protected].

Your Bank has once again failed to carry out basic banking activities and I can conclude that it has has been found NEGLIGENT IN RENDERING SERVICES and have not complied with RBI Guidelines and Rules in regards to levy of Minimum Balance Charges. It also have been found guilty of misselling its banking products and services and making false assurance and claims to sell its products and services to the customers.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHY THIS IS HAPPENING AND WHY INSPITE OF ASSURING ME AT THE TIME OF OPENING ACCOUNT WITH YOUR BANK THAT I ONLY NEED TO MAINTAIN BALANCE IN MY MAIN ACCOUNT STILL MINIMUM BALANCE CHARGES ARE BEING LEVIED ?

Why false assurance is given by Kotak Mahindra Bank Officials to sell their products to us?

Reverse all the charges levied in my family accounts immediately.

Your response in this regards will guide my future course of actions on this long pending issues with your Bank.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am having a savings bank account in your esteemed Kotak Mahindra Bank having IFSC Code being KKBK0000331. My Savings Bank Account No is [protected] & attached Family Account No. are [protected] & [protected]

Upon checking my said account I have found out that a lot of minimum balance charges were levied in the said account.

As per RBI Guidelines all banks needs to follow certain rules and guidelines for levying any Minimum Balance Charges. The below the extracts from RBI Notifications on the same for your reference and necessary actions on my request for submission of necessary proofs and records of compliance of the same.

Levy of penal charges on non-maintenance of minimum balances in savings bank accounts

Dear Sir/Madam
Levy of penal charges on non-maintenance of minimum balances in savings bank accounts
Please refer to our circular DBOD.Dir.BC.53/13.10.00/2002-03 dated December 26, 2002 on ‘Minimum Balance in Savings Bank Accounts’ advising banks to inform customers, in a transparent manner, regarding the requirement of minimum balance in savings bank account and levy of penal charges for non-maintenance of the same at the time of opening the account.
2. In this connection, a reference is invited to paragraph 30 of Part B of First Bi-monthly Monetary Policy Statement, 2014-15 announced on April 1, 2014, regarding ‘Developmental and Regulatory Policies’ proposing certain measures towards consumer protection. One of the proposals contained therein was that banks should not take undue advantage of customer difficulty or inattention. Instead of levying penal charges for non-maintenance of minimum balance in ordinary savings bank accounts, banks should limit services available on such accounts to those available to Basic Savings Bank Deposit Accounts and restore the services when the balances improve to the minimum required level. A reference is also invited to the recommendations of Damodaran Committee on customer service in banks which, inter-alia, recommended that ‘banks should inform the customer immediately on the balance in the account breaching minimum balance and the applicable penal charges for not maintaining the balance by SMS/Email/letter. Further, the penal charges levied should be in proportion to the shortfall observed’.
3. The policy announcement has been reviewed after extensive consultation with banks. Consequent to these deliberations and after taking into consideration the recommendation of Damodaran Committee, it has been decided that while levying charges for non-maintenance of minimum balance in savings bank account, banks shall adhere to the additional guidelines given in Annex. The guidelines come into effect from April 1, 2015.
4. These guidelines should be brought to the notice of all customers apart from being disclosed on the bank’s website.
5. In the meantime, all banks are advised to take immediate steps to update customer information so as to facilitate sending alerts through electronic modes (SMSs/emails etc) for effective implementation of the guidelines.
Yours faithfully
(Lily Vadera)
Chief General Manager
Annex
Levy of charges for non-maintenance of minimum balance in savings bank account shall be subject to the following additional guidelines:
(i) In the event of a default in maintenance of minimum balance/average minimum balance as agreed to between the bank and customer, the bank should notify the customer clearly by SMS/ email/ letter etc. that in the event of the minimum balance not being restored in the account within a month from the date of notice, penal charges will be applicable.
(ii) In case the minimum balance is not restored within a reasonable period, which shall not be less than one month from the date of notice of shortfall, penal charges may be recovered under intimation to the account holder.
(iii) The policy on penal charges to be so levied may be decided with the approval of Board of the bank.
(iv) The penal charges should be directly proportionate to the extent of shortfall observed. In other words, the charges should be a fixed percentage levied on the amount of difference between the actual balance maintained and the minimum balance as agreed upon at the time of opening of account. A suitable slab structure for recovery of charges may be finalized.
(v) It should be ensured that such penal charges are reasonable and not out of line with the average cost of providing the services.
(vi) It should be ensured that the balance in the savings account does not turn into negative balance solely on account of levy of charges for non-maintenance of minimum balance.

In regards to the above give me all the proofs/records/data in regards to the compliance of your Kotak Mahindra Bank of RBI Guidelines in regards to the levy of Minimum Balance Charges.

I am holding a savings account in your bank for the past 3 years. I wish to bring to your notice that amount of rs 36000 has been withdrawn from my account on 11th april 2018 at 10 : 15 pm which has not been executed by me from any atm.
When i took printout of mini statement of my account on dated 2nd may 2018 then i was totally shocked that there is no previous amount shown in my account.

I deposited Rs 10000 to my kotak account by using fund my account option in 811 account.But State bank of india account from which i withdrew money shows that Rs 10000 has been withdrawn. But i still didn't recieve the money in kotak account. It has been 48 hrs. I need the money as soon as possible. Please see through it as soon as possible.
