Firstly I want to say that Kotak customer care services is very poor and I have totally frustrated from kotak customer service support. I raised a complaint on 3rd December 2014 and yet I did not get any proper answer from them. The transaction details are as below: Fraund Transaction Details: Date : 29/11/2014 Description : [protected]//BAD HABBIT1 Chq/Ref No :[protected] Amount : -1, 170. 00 Note : I want to know the full detail of this transaction. Other confusing Transaction Details: Date : 29/11/2014 Description : [protected]//KARTIK MEDICAL STORE Chq/Ref No :[protected] Amount : -932. 00 Date : 29/11/2014 Description : PCD/[protected]/Kartik Medical Store/Ghaziabad Chq/Ref No :[protected] Amount : 932. 00 Date : 29/11/2014 Description : PCD/[protected]/Kartik Medical Store/Ghaziabad Chq/Ref No :[protected] Amount : -932. 00 Note : Please explain these transaction details also. When I analysed the transactions then I found that description and Chq/Ref No is same for two or more transaction, how is it possible technically. I am a Software Engineer and I have worked on many type of payment gateway and banking application in last 8 years and this scenario is not possible so please look into it and update me as soon as possible. Kotak customer care executives are not able to give the details of that transaction, I called 3-4 times for getting the status of my complaint but they have no any proper answer. They are always saying that "Sorry sir we cant do any thing regarding this". Please help.
I also visited the kotak branch (Sector : 63, Noida, UP) for this but I shocked to hear from bank manager that he was saying, why are you taking it so serious 1170/- is not a big amount. I think this type of statement does not suite for a bank manager. Really Kotak guys are very irresponsible.

    Kotak has been unconditionally deducting the amount in the name of maintenance charges. Whenever complained about the same, they says it is a valid deduction without even bothering to check for the request. After forcing them to do so, will apologize and promises to revert it back and this has been happening for 3 months in a row. And deliberately they delays the reversal so that i will again be charged for the coming month. Above all there is no intimation of deduction nor sms sent like any other debit or credited amount. With these unethical actions i decided to close the account, but the person sitting in the nearest branch(Panvel) asks to go to home branch and discus. Proving themselves to be useless. Very disappointing service. They kill their own customers.

    Same here. This bank has cheated me too. They never tell about the minimum balance that needs to be maintained in the account when it ceases to be a salary account and they go on deducting amounts from the account without any intimation neither on mail nor on phone. Disgusted with its service. I have faced a total loss of 5000 rupees and I am not going to leave them.i will file a complaint in the consumercourt an whichever forum it is possible if they don't refund my amount back.

      Hi, I recently applied for loan from kotak mahindra bank for 1 lakh for the tensure of 12 months for interest rate of 13% Bank without intimating to me has approved the loan for 24 months for which i have to pay extra 7k because of increase in tenure for 12months as interest. I came to know this only when i am about to pay the monthly EMI. I never expected Banks will be cheating in this way also

          we had an account no. [protected] in name of "creative wizards infratech pvt ltd" with kotak bank. due to bad customer service and ineffective customer relation service, we closed down our account in may 2013. but the sms and email daily account balance service didnt stop and showed zero balance. on complaint it was assured that they will soon cease. we complained again when a negative balance started appearing. it has since increased to Rs 70000. no one is listening in the bank and inspite of efforts of the bank manager, this menace is growing every day. bank is asking us to deposit Rs 50000 in the account, which we have refused. amit garg director, creative wizards infratech p ltd [protected] [protected] [protected]@creativewizards.in

            we had closed our current account in name of "creative wizards infratech pvt ltd" in kotak bank 2 years ago. however we started receiving negative bank balance sms and emails. we learnt that our account has not been closed though we had the acknowledgment of closure form and zero balance (we had paid huge amount of negative balance to close the account). inspite of several reminders and requessts, it has not been closed. now the negative balance has mounted and accumulated to nearly 70000 INR. our account number with kotak was [protected]. amit garg director [protected] [protected] [protected]@creativewizards.in

              Plan Kotak Smart Advantage Plan Policy no.[protected]Vineet Sood) Date of Commencement 15/03/2008 Premium Amt. INR 60, 000. At the time of taking this policy I was told by your representative that after the lockin period of 3 yrs, even if I surrender the policy, I would get more than what I had invested. Trusting him I signed up for the policy and paid the premium for rather 4 yrs @ INR 60, 000 p.a..However, in 2013, I realized that I was not able to continue the policy and wished to surrender it. Was shocked as after paying Rs. 2, 40, 000 for 4yrs, all I received was Rs. 2, 18, 000, that does not even cover the amount invested.After contacting the call centre repeatedly, I was told that the remaining amount of Rs, 60, 000 will be given to us after 15yrs i.e. at the time of maturity of the policy. If we have already surrendered the policy what is the point of keeping this money with you. Inspite of making many calls to the call centre, no one was able to give a clear answer as to why this amount was withheld. It was highly frustrating. Can you people imagine how it is like to loose your hard earned money!! I swear not to invest in any of your plans in future and spread a word of caution among my aquantainces. I request you to kindly find a way out and disburse the remaining amount as I am not willing to sit silently until I get my money back even if it means knocking the door of higher authorities. Its been almost six months that I have trying to sort this matter out through your customer care by making endless calls but to no avail. Its been quite tedious and frustrating now and if still no action is taken, I would be forced to take my complaint to consumer forum and IRDA. Kindly revert back and let me know what can be done about it.

Initialy it was salaried account but after sometime no any salary amount was credited into this account. Then I started to maintained with some amounts.

                After 3 days I did not get any response from their end. Is it not their duty to give any response to their coustomer.


                Its really not acceptable attitude.

                  Hi, I had made an IMPS transaction of Rs . 1800/- from KOTAK([protected]) to AXIS ([protected]). I was supposed to select the Account type as "Current" but accidentally I selected "Savings". The transaction was successful but no money was credited to the beneficiary account. I called Kotak Customer Care. They told me to wait for 2 working days for the amount to be refunded into my account. I called up Kotak Customer Care again after 3-4 days to know the status. They told me that the transaction is successful from our end so no money will be refunded. Then I asked my beneficiary to talk to Axis bank. They told "No money has been credited from Kotak's end so we cannot help you with this". Since, there cannot be two accounts with the same account number, how can the transaction be successful. The money is neither in my account(kotak) nor Beneficiary's account(Axis). I request you to resolve the issue and refund the deducted amount. IMPS Reference number :[protected] Regards, Sakshi

                    This is really ridiculous from Kotak. I opened a zero balance salaried account in[protected] and then stopped using this account after few months as I switched to another new company and I decided not to continue with this account. As per my information, it was a zero balance account and there should not be any charges for not maintaining the minimum monthly balance required. I was really not aware of this and never received any intimation from Kotak Bank either on email or by post and now it is showing a non maintenance charges of Rupees 1200/-. I'd like this charge to be removed from my account. Thanks! Registered Email: [protected]@ymail.com.

                          You are deducting money(561.80+561.80) from my account everyday because of non maintaining minimum balance. But everything is fine in my account. Salary also credited correct time. I feel HDFC OR AXIS IS BETTER THAN KOTAK at least they will give some immediate response. I am not happy with KOTAK.

                              I have an Salary account with Kotak Mahindra Bank. I saw some charges on the statement, when I called the customer service to inquire about the charges the representative named Santosh Singh told me to refer policies updated in August 2014 and then explained me that the charges are correct. When I asked for a manager he denied instantly. On top of this whole conversation the attitude of the adviser was the worst that I had experienced in my life. Later when I demanded a manager he told me to arrange a call back in 48 hours and told me that the manager is busy now. When I said that I am ready to wait until the manager is free he said he cannot do that. So in-total the customer service received is the worst and the major problem I have with the whole conversation is the attitude of the adviser on the call. I have not seen this type of attitude anywhere and for a banking customer service its worst. If you want any update you can contact me on mj[protected]@gmail.com
