Kotak Mahindra Bank Complaints & Reviews

I have not received my credit card yet. I applied for it on 30th December 2015 as I joined the Wipro Limited so it was mandatory for us to open an account in Kotak. Your employees issue me debit card and told us that credit card will be given after 15days of 1st salary credited to your account and till now they did not issue me a credit card. I called them several times, all they say is mail us though I mailed them many times but result was...

I regret for banking with kotak mahindra bank.

Why i choose kotak?
They provided an attractive interest rate for personal loan.

What are the issues?
1. They didn't give any response after applying to the loan. Meanwhile i applied in another bank and got my loan disbursed.
2. I called the customer care and asked them not to proceed further (After 25 days from the date of application), since i took loan from another bank, i also cancelled the cheques during application process. However they didn't consider my request and disbursed the loan after 45 days from the date of application, 24 days after my cancellation request.
3. I have to resubmit the cheques since the old ones were cancelled from my side, even after providing the newer ones, they keep on using cancelled cheques and charge me for late payment.
Note: i had to visit the kotak bank (Only the loan account manager available branch) in personal to change the newer cheques. Most of the kotak branches doesn't have section for personal loan.
4. After the first few cheques they are using ecs, they got my submitted application during the loan application. However when i ask my bank (Citi) people, they told kotak didn't submit the application form hence they can't release even if they query.
5. I personally went to kotak and collected the ecs mandate forms (3 copies) and get it approved from citi and submitted one for citi, one for kotak and one with me for ecs.
6. After all these process also, the kotak didn't use my ecs and keep on sending payment alert message, however no action taken against my replies stating their ecs is not working.
7. None of the emi was successful though i had sufficient balance in my bank account, now cibil score is at the worst condition!!! I regret for banking with kotak, i am waiting 12 months lock in period to close the entire loan account.

Beware people, if you take personal loan from kotak bank, then you can't loan from any other bank for at least 3-5 years, since they will take care of collapsing of your cibil score very well.

A new saving bank a/c (Edge saving account) no. [protected] was recently opened with your bank in the name of premkumari gaurishankar sarda and accordingly i got the welcome kit alongwith a cheque book and one grand health card but regret to say that the name premkumari has been wrongly spelt as premkumar and the same has been brought to the notice of the bank official but regret that i did not get my altered cheque book and also the pin/password no..In absence of the pin/password no. I can't operate my account and as such request you to make necessary correction in my name and send me the pin/password immediately. Hope that you will take immediate action and oblige.
Thanking you.
Yours faithfully,
Premkumari gaurishankar sarda

I didnt get that i said to him do a mail to a kotak manager who can help me out he said he cannot do that coz u guyss dont have the emails available with them is it true ?? I am using kotak from last 2.5 years and it was pleasure do the businees with u but thid time it was really annoying and specially with Mr. Mohammad shaid who was very rude to me he was giving me threat if i will be carrying on like this over the call he will be going to disconnect my call, even i nvr abuse on the call than why he can disconnect me coz he was totally unable to satisfy the customrr ?? There are alot of things which he told me to borrow money from somebody i am not a beggar who go to anybody door step and ask the moneyfrom them, do i ??

He was a gentle who dont know how to speak with a customer and he cannot make a prrson staisfy on his question than why he is therr . Who he is to advice me to borrow the money from any other person. I was in trouble he make me stupid on tha call after asking him so many time are u listeing he nit even answring me. I[censored] guyss will not take the action for that person i will go to consumer court and let them know about this, i want my money of 8000 today from your bank as an claim and with intrest of time and the person who want to how me the attitude over the call that he do have right if person is in problem he can cut the call.

Kotak one quetion from u did u rcvd any email from sahid saying about this call as per him he font have any emails access and other belongings of the msgs, i am sure that u must have but he didnt give me.

I made the second call to bhavesh saying that give me the refrence no of the my request about this IT issue but still now i dint get that.

Ur staff specially "Mr. Mohd Sahid" was very annoying an threating customer over the call.

I need that call recordings, want to knoe what wrong i asked from Sahid, that person was really very annoying cant even imagine a floor manager is spealing with me in that rude tone.

Sort out my issue asap and give me the claim of my money lost today of 8000rs.

Mr. Sahid u were very annoying and disappont me, u dint even forget u are represting a bank over the call, should go and take the session how to speak with ur loyal customer.

P.s. - kotak this issue could be resolve when i called u but Sahid take thid so unmannered.

I have one current account having CRN[protected].After that i open 20 corporate salary saving account. It was asked to me that u can transfer salary to ur employees using either bank manual process by sending excel or by using net Banking and putting word Salary in description. I did by 2nd way. I did it 6 months and nothing happen.After 6 months they deducted 1500 from every account. 15 account they deducted 1500 each.

Now i asked them to refund it but no one is listening. I made 100 calls and no one is listening. What ever has been promised but no one is listening.

I mailed Rohit Kapoor also but he is not doing anything.

Dear Sir,

My loan Number is ISPL60318

I am writing to all of you as I could not get any amicable solution in spite of the following initiatives taken by me -

I am facing one or the other issue from the very first day I availed the loan from Ingvysya. From the first EMI there was issue with ECS & I had been advised to make NEFT transfer for which I have evidence as well. I have done lots of email exchange with Ingvysya executives which can be produced on legitimate demand. It is very sad that although I am making payment well in advance of the due date, I am being charged huge amount on the account of ECS bounce charges.

I am having loans from other reputed financial organizations which are running absolutely fine without any issue. My biggest blunder was to take a loan from Ingvysya, now Kotak.They have charged be more than Rs 8000/- for ECS bounce.It is very sad that although I am making payment well in advance of the due date I am unable to bear this royal pain any more & wish to proceed with one time settlement.
1. I spoke to Kotak Help Desk & requested to help me with waiving off any additional charges in order to keep a healthy long lasting relationship. They suggested me to visit nearest Kotak Loan branch. Upon informing them that at present I am in Kolkata, I was advised to visit Park Street Office situated in Kolkata..
2. I visited Kotak Loan branch in Park Street & was informed that they would not be able to help & I should write to service.[protected]@kotak.com.
3. I wrote several emails to this email ID(;; ;; ; ;

I had earlier taken personal loan from ing vasya bank, chandigarh vide loan agreement no. Pl [protected] agreement id 269761 total amount disbursed rs.2, 87, 000/- @ 15 % interest payable in 60 monthly installments. The monthly installment of rs.6828/- is being paid by me since inception of the loan through my salary account with canara bank, sector 8 c chandigarh.

Now the bank has wrongly reported personal loan account in cibil by kotak mahindra bank limited, sector 9 chandigarh - loan account no. Ispl - 118270 loan agreement dated 23. August 2014 - crn no.[protected] loan amount financed rs.2, 41, 565/- - branch office, sco no.153-155 sector 9 c chandigarh product salaried personal loan

21 installments @ rs.6828/- has already been paid by me till date. And now only 39 installments are pending for payment from me @ rs.6828/- per installment.

Now i have come to know that the ing vasya bank has been merged with kotak mahindra bank limited and the repayment of my loan is being paid to kotak mahindra bank ltd @ rs.6828/- per month.

I have gone through the statement of repayment pattern of personal loan. It has been found that now kotak mahindra bank ltd shown repayment pattern of personal loan w. E. F. Monthly in 05. Nov 15 to august 19 @ 6828/- and for sept 19 @ 6803/-. Now it has been found that 6 installments of loan has been increased by the bank and increased my loan amount by rs. 36943/-. Therefore, it has been found that kotak mahindra bank ltd wrongly calculated the installments. Earlier the loan was repayable in 60 installments and now the loan has been adjusted in 66 monthly installments.


Further i would also like to inform that i have applied housing loan from hdfc and on checking my cibil account it has been found that this loan has been reported twice on the cibil site i. E. Once by ing vasya bank and secondly by kotak bank limited.

You are, therefore, requested to take up the matter with kotak mahindra bank limited to correct my cibil account to enable me to obtain housing loan from hdfc ltd.

I had earlier taken personal loan from ing vasya bank, chandigarh vide loan agreement no. Pl [protected] agreement id 269761 total amount disbursed rs.2, 87, 000/- @ 15 % interest payable in 60 monthly installments. The monthly installment of rs.6828/- is being paid by me since inception of the loan through my salary account with canara bank, sector 8 c chandigarh.

21 installments @ rs.6828/- has already been paid by me till date. And now only 39 installments are pending for payment from me @ rs.6828/-.Ing vasya bank was merged with kotak mahindra bank limited in the year 2014.

Now i have received a statement from kotak mahindra bank limited showing the details of balance 47 installments towards repayment of personal loan. My loan is being paid to kotak mahindra bank limited @ 6828/- per month. The total loan was sanctioned for 60 months and now kotak mahindra bank limited has increased the repayment of personal loan from 60 to 66 installments as per statement of loan received by me on 11.5.2016.

I have gone through the statement of repayment pattern of personal loan. It has been found that kotak mahindra bank have shown repayment pattern of personal loan w. E. F. Monthly in 05. Nov 15 to august 2019 @ 6828/- and for sept 2019 @ 6803/-. Kotak mahindra have increased my 6 installments and increased my loan amount by rs. 36943/ -. Therefore, it has been found that bank has wrongly calculated the installments. Earlier the loan was repayable in 60 installments and now the loan has to be repaid in 66 monthly installments.

Now the kotak bank is to reverse this excess amount of rs.36, 943/- towards last 6 increased monthly installments and correct the data in my cibil account.

There is amount transferred on my account number [protected] for 10397 ecs of citi bank personal loan. However bank had charged me rs.1649.57 bounce charges for two ecs. If bank charged bounce then it could be 250/ per bounce but there is amount is present on account and bank had not clear ecs even amount is sufficient for ecs with rs.10937 on account. Bank is no clarifying that why they had been charged this much amount and this was happened two times that i transferred amount and you have been debited some amount before ecs clearing and then charged me for bounce its really pathetic service from kotak. Every time getting senseless answer if first bound then bank charged 350 and if citi bank send second ecs then kotak bank charging 750+tax etc which i am not understanding. Please help me out to refund this charges as they are not co-operating since my first ecs of my personal loan of citi bank.
Thanks!

I am using kotak mahindra bank credit card (Not saving account) from 2013, at that time i was in hyderabad, now i have moved to jaipur and last month my card got blocked and i needed to change my mailing address as bank will send a new card on it. I talk to costumer care and they suggested me to apply it online "address change and card replacement" i followed the same and raised a request submitting all necessary documents on 8th of april 2016, i was told that it will take max 7 days, but i didnt get any verification call or anything during 7 days and after that my request was rejected as "given address is wrong". Again i reached to c care, they told me the same reason, i told them that the guy who came for verification should have atleast call me once if he is unable to find address and rejecting the request. I dont know where from these verification guys are as they can not find a simple address or god knows they even tried to find it. Next time i applied via bank branch giving hard copy of the same documents and after waiting another 10 days this request was rejected with reason "landmark not mentioned". Which i found nonsense as i was stopped to mention it even for 1st time as it is not in my id proof. I dont know why this guy dont try to find addresss, he has no idea how much trouble it makes for me or he dont even bother about it. Again i reached to c care and tried to talk to the manager but they ignore it as client is not as important for him, he just directed the executive to take another request on high priorities (So called) and promised me that this time the guy will take appointment from me before coming on verification and i will get my card with in 7 days, and went through the same procedure 3rd time and as i expected i didnt get any communication from anybody and on 9th may that request was also rejected giving reason "not able contact on call". And today i reached to c care again and asked to talk their manager and she said she will arrange a call and the manager will call me asap.
Its been more then one month since i am trying to change my mailing address, just a simple task, i am living in a tier-1 city every e-comm site deliver here without any hassle. I want to know that are the verification guys belong to some other country so they find it so difficult to find addresses, without thinking about costumer. I didnt expect it from such a big private sector bank. I am litterly irritated from kotak bank and its verification. Your services are worse then govt. Adhaar card service. You have no idea how much panic i am just because of your services and i feel like i have no other work except calling you again and again.

I have received a call from kotak mahindra as well in delhi today. This person is using using foul language against my family members. He has been using my facebook profile to spy on me thinking that he is a sherlock holmes. Let me assure you guys that you are underestimating the power of law and a common citizen. Just want to make you aware that if you can trace a persons mobile number even a person can trace the caller back how much intelligent this person thinks he is. You are associated with mahindra brand have some shame. Wide this forum i just want to make others aware to stay away from everything associated with kotak and mahindra. These guys are big cheats. I can realize what they do to people who are their customers. Kotak is a thief so dont take the pain of going to them. Go only to sarkari banks. These people will cheat you and make ur life miserable. Here is the number of person calling me (+91 [protected]), ([protected]) and you can trace his antecedents by simply downloading the true caller which infact this punter centipede has been using to trace me. They will call all your relatives seeking their contacts blindly from your facebook profile and then start telling cock and bull stories to them and try to seek all your personal details. Beware of kotak mahindra, stay away from their services. I am anyways taking legal action against him next time he threatens me.

Hi Team,

I have accepted the Balance Transfer facility with your bank for my existing loan 1 month back. I was told from your team that the complete process will take only 2-3 working days to get completed.
I had added some additional personal loan amount with that Balance transfer amount on which I had made further commitments and now it’s going to be 1 month but the amount has not been credited to my account yet.
I can’t believe how irresponsible your staff is who take up new customers request like this. I am being assisted by your members in such a bad manner that I am not getting any genuine updates and finally I had to write to you.
I request you to please either look up in my case or else request you to withdraw my application.
Below are some details of concerned team:

Branch : Kotak Bank, sector-18, Noida
Team Members :
Nagendra - [protected]

My CRN is 65111162.
I submit my application to close my account with Kotak Bank in Aditya city center, indirapuram branch on 16-April 2016 and their executive assure me that it will be closed in next 8-10 days maximum. and same day i sent a mail also on service.[protected]@kotak.com that i submitted my application to close it. please confirm once this account will be closed. they given me reference no. 1-[protected]. and after that i am following them continuously regarding this but there is no response and today on 6 - May -2016 when i login to net banking to check whether it is working or not, i found its showing negative balance of -1374 Rs/-.
on 16th April i left it with 0 balance and there was no negative balance. and bank executive taken my application to close it.
So, i need clarification that why this account is not closed yet and why showing now negative balance.

Pathetic experience with Kotak Mahindra Bank.
Request you to close this account.

Kotak mahindra bank is a fraud bank, cheater and i don't words to use it. Let me walk you through with the matter quickly:
Actually i've taken a loan from kotak mahindra bank ltd. Last year and emi used to get deducted on 10th of every month. Till the feb 16 emi was deducting from my salaried account as usual. One day i got a call, (Around 5 or 6th mar) from kotak mahindra bank ltd. Care stating that there is some problem or update is going on in our system as per the rbi guidelines, so your loan emi for mar and apr won't be deducted through ecs system. To get the due emi amount of mar and apr 16 we would need two cheques from you for the same and their executive came down to my office address and collected two cheques.
So for mar month, emi deducted from my account on 12th of mar as usual and problem occurred with apr 16 month emi.
So as usual, emi got deducted on 12th of apr also from my account and due to some fault, the deducted amount was rolled back on the same day to my account and i was under impression that emi has been deducted and was happy with my routine activities.
When i checked my account statement, i saw the reversal of this amount and called up kotak mahindra bank ltd. Customer care and stated the same matter and they gave me a complaint number (Request no: 1-[protected]). Until then, there was no follow up done by kotak mahindra bank ltd. And they were thinking that we got the opportunity to charge overdue/late payment fee on this customer and did not even thought to update me on this. When i called up, their customer care executive told that it had happened due to some fault at our end and you should not be charged overdue or late payment fee on this transaction. So i got another complaint number for the overdue reversal (Sr#:1-[protected]).
So i asked them what is the alternate approach to settle the emi of apr month because cheque which was given earlier has been used and can't be reused again for transaction. They told to hand over one more cheque and i did it and amount got settled.
But today they dropped me an email (As shown in the attacehd screen) saying that (Sr#:1-[protected]) they can't consider my reversal request and i've to pay the overdue charges as applicable. But as per my understanding why should i pay it because its not my fault. It was the fault with the system which caused this. If you see the attached screen of my account statement, it clearly says that amount was deducted on 12 apr and there was always sufficient amount in my account.
So its my humble request to all friends to share this post as much as you can to let the system know how banks are cheating with their customers even when its not customer's mistake.
Kotak mahindra bank ltd. Kotak mahindra bank, k. G margkotak atm (Connaught place) : you guys can't escape by simply saying that there was no fault at your end and gives you license to charge unnecessary amount on your customers when you very well know that it was a fault in your system which led to this issue.
Open you eyes and show some ethics!

Dear all,
I the undersigned has taken a loan from your bank on RHB3173 for Rs. 2500000 having CRN no. 76226753
Further, when the same loan is to be taken by another financial institute, On 16/03/2016, I have given request for foreclosure amount. But there were no response from your end. Again on 30/03/2016 I went to surat from vapi and met with Mr. Hetal Pandya. I requested him to collect the cheque but he refuses.
Again I send the cheque on 05/04/2016 but the same was again returned.
After so many request, the cheque was deposited on 07/04/2016 and the amount was credited on 13/04/2016. Also I have given the difference amount cheque no. 304597. Meanwhile my EMI got hit and returned back and balance of Rs. 17655.34 is debited. Also I have given Access amount as discussed with Hatal Pandya RHBL dept. But my Loan is not terminated till yet.
Kindly clarify as confirmed by Mr. Hetal Pandya that why no waiver is given to me and given Access amount. Also I am suffering from mental torture by your bank.

Request again for the Positive feedback from your Side.

Account not open yet after 20+ days.
Promised duration to open account was 3 days by jayaprakash and sathish (Indiranagar branch, bangalore).
All documents were handed over by 13th apr.
From past 10 days, everyday jayaprakash says by 6 pm the account number will be shared. That 6 pm has not yet come.
If these are the diffculties which a customer faces just at the time of account opening, think about operations.
Suggestion to everyone, don't open any account with kotak bank.

Dear kotak bank senior person,

As per attached email, i was applied for top up of personal loan application in january. After that i was tried for continuation of loan process by calling to sales person, email & third party person, but up to 1 & half month there was no any progress. So i was decided to stop this procedure & send email regarding to cancellation of this loan. After this cancellation also within some days bank was passed my loan, & send d. D. To my hdfc bank account (For closed my pervious loan) but before that it is already closed by me. (By loan of another bank).

At that time hdfc bank accept that d. D., then when hdfc bank realized that this loan is already closed then again they prepare d. D for kotak bank. But now your bank is not ready to take return this d. D. So i visit the main kotak branch of mumbai (Kalina branch), i meet to mr. Sujit (Customer care person), he tell me speak with mr. Yashwant pushkarkumar jain (Rms). Then i speak with yashwant about this, still i didn’t get any solution from any one of your bank & customer care.


As per attached mail and below email id i already email and spoke with below person and sales (Rmc). Then also loan was also disbursement in my account.
(Ritikakunal. [protected]@kotak.com, richa. [protected]@kotak.com, ashish. K. [protected]@kotak.com, avinash. U. [protected]@kotak.com, zulfikar. [protected]@kotak.com, yashwant. [protected]@kotak.com,)


Now i would like to request to you kotak bank senior officials to give me proper reply, for keeping healthy relationship. So that my grievance may be solved at the earliest.

I shall be very thankful to your kind action.

FYI: Kotak Life Insurance is a cheat company. I thought you should be aware of their poor quality of services.

I would like to put forward a request for cancellation of my policy or like to surrender the same. Under no condition i want to proceed further with Kotak Bank. Reason being the insurance officer was a cheat and misguided me with false information.

An auto debit payment option is activated from my Kotak salary account towards insurance Policy payment which was never initiated on my request. It was falsely (cheat) done by Kotak Officials.

1. Your agents are cheaters.
2. They only misguide general public.
3. Inadequate information was provided while purchasing Kotak Life Insurance.
4. They falsely activated services never requested for.

I am holding an Current Account(GTA) in East street branch. I am using this account from past 3 years. Today i am unable to login and my access is denied and for no cause or no reason for this action is informed to me. Also as a customer service I have never ever received any call or updates from any of your relationship manager.
Hence requesting you to explain the proper cause for you act and according to me it's not justified. Hence i shall be permitted to operate the same account immediately.
Sincerely,

Hi I have opened a salary account on kotak mahindra bank.on 15th of april .But the account was not get activated till 30th of the month .My salary was to be credited on 29th of april 2016.but just for negligence of the bank & their employee Padma & Tintu I am facing the problem.I will suggest no body must open an account with Kotak further, its a cheating company.The worst bank I have ever seen.

I have raised a complaint to Kotak credit card for excess amount refund on 30 March 16. I have kept on contacting the customer care every now and then to know if anything else is needed to be done from my side but everytime I was given wrong information. As per my last conversation with Mr Austin Fernándes on 20 April 16 he said he would initiate the money transfer within 2 days but this is not done yet.
It's almost going to be 1 month now that I am waiting for the refund .
