Availed car loan from Kotak Mahindra Prime Ltd ( loan No. CF 3985961). and the company issued no due certficate on 06/07/2010. But the recent CIBIL report shows an over due of two instalments though the company even issued NO OBJECTION CERTIFICATE to cancel the HP in RC book on 26 march 2008

Hi Team,
I am receiving hell lot of calls from Kotak Mahindra Bank executives regarding their insurance plans, I have informed them that I am not interested and do not call next time. But still I am receiving the calls, when I am getting in argument with the executives regarding the calls they are suggesting me to activate the DND (Do not Disturb) on my mobile, this is so ridiculous how can they suggest me and who they are to suggest me.

Moreover Insurance calls come under banking category and if I activate the DND then I even do not receive my personal banking transaction details which I own.

Really if anybody is interested in any banking or insurance plans, they personally will approach the bank, why for unnecessary calls and wasting our time.

Team please help me out to sort this problem.

Thanks & Regards,
Srinivas

Went to Kotak ATM, sector 9, Faridabad on 23rd March to withdraw some cash. For the second transaction, the machine disbursed less amount. Filed complaint with my bank and received reply that the transaction is complete from Kotak's side!
What a cheat, fraudster bank!
Stay away!

I also took kotak Super Advantage plan ,as false commitment given by there representative, if i invest 30000 for 3 years my fund will comes to be 143000 (gauranteed) after 3 years and i can withdrew that amount and if i wish to continue, i don't have to pay any premium till 5th years.

Recently i called Kotak customer care and came to know that this total amount of 200% will recevie on 20 year only, and if i try to withdraw the amout after 3 year's, i will get only 2 year's amount and interest amount and they will deduct my 1st year premium intsallement plus there would be 4% surrender charges. This is a big cheating and scam by the Bank.
Please look into this matter as i have already paid my 3 years instalment and want to withdrew my amount as i have some urgent family need for the money.

My Premium Details:

Policy no: 01931790
Client Id: 53610298

There promises:--
Premium-30, 000 for 3 yrs.
Bonus-200% Gurenteed On your 1st year premium.
Insurance-5 lac.
Medical Claim- 1lac.
Returns-10-12%.

Dear Sir. I had taken a used car loan from Kotak Mahidra Prime Ltd in Jan 2012 for Rs. 900000/- for 36 months with EMI of Rs. 32850/- pm
The loan agreement No. is CF 7617020 (SR No. 1-[protected]). Initially they have taken one month EMI Rs. 32850/- and Rs. 5000/- (as documentation charges) cash from me. But the statement of Re- pay they have send to me shows total finance amount is – Rs.907738/- .
I made several complaint with the customer care & getting un satisfactory reply.
Initially they said Rs. 7738/- is as the insurance which they made without my concren. but the insurance policy clrealy mentioned the premium Rs. 2687/-. When I put the same in their knowledge, now they says this Rs. 5000/- as administration charges ( They have already taken Rs. 5000/- from me in cash as documentation charges).
I made several request to the company to return my money which they have taken extra from me
This pure signe of cheating.
Kindly help me to get it solved
Please find the communication which I have made with them sofar

Dear Sir
I think you are wrong. The insurance amount is only Rs. 2738/-
The amount Rs. 5000/- cash taken by Mr. Ramesh is extra. I refused the same that day it self. Because I know the documentation charges will be coming in emi .
Kindly do the needful to return the money

Hello Everyone,

Before taking the credit cards from Kotak Cards (Kotak Mahindra), be very cautious.

1. They do no send you the soft copy over email so that you fail to make a payment on time.
2. They wont update about your outstanding amount unless and until the due amount is a very healthy and lumpsum amount.
3. When you talk to the collection manager who actually should go through your request and concern they will shout on you and they will tell you all non sense things.
4. They will tell you a settlement amount to resolve the matter will be Rs X. But once you make a payment and confirm that the amount is paid by sending screen shot of payment, they too will confirm but the amount paid wont be updated in their system.

5. again after few months, once the amount is increased to again a huge amount, they will keep calling you make a payment.

This is the worst bank and the worst policies of credit card department. Executives are a big liar.

Do not go for this credit rather pay over cash. Make the life simple!!!

Then re -revised it to Rs: 79,526 which was paid off vide citi bank , aurangabad ,Chq.No. 3262 dt. 27.09.2011. For document execution amount of Rs: 56418=00 paid in cash for franking fees.
(B )
Since 13.09.2011 till 27.12.2011, i.e literally ,for a period of 104 days Kotak Mahindra bank refused to clear off our previous Citi Bank loan of 22lacs an restore our account by releasing the balance funds.
My business had come to a stand still, since Citi Bank loan was utilized to the full extend n Kotak Mahindra Bank refused to release sanctioned funds to continue and sustain my business. Principal had stopped supplies to us due to non payment as well as not lifting fresh stocks from the company. Resultantly customers so created by us in this last 19 years hard work were started shifting to other suppliers n my fund recovery too had got crippled due to non supplies to my customers, resulting into their production loss an ones of responsibility trashed on to us. This fact , in spite of being communicated / informed to Kotak Mahindra Bank, had refused to released balance sanctioned credit facility.
(c)
After intense persuasion an compliant to their Mumbai office about the level of harassment inflected n diligence in performing duties on 28.12.2011 vide pay order no. 825491 for a sum of Rs:21,99,170=00was paid off to citi bank by Kotak Mahindra Bank as loan repayment, but the balance amount of Rs: 53lacs or its part was not disbursed.
(d)
On 25th January 2012 we sent across to Kotak Mahindra Bank , Mumbai a Regd. Post letter highlighting the high handed attitude of the bank while dealing with us.( no reply to which is received till date )

Surprisingly on Feb 8th 2012 at 9.45am we happened to receive mail from the bank stating that from the Original Property bank valuation of Rs;1.75 corer, within 105days period our property valuation has come down to just 78 lacs???? and the same stands to be disbursed after deducting money paid to Citi Bank an post mortgage formalities being completed. We kept of perusing that ( a ) as per sanction letter only in next renewal you can upgrade or downgrade the property valuation an the sanction limits.
But the bank had turned a deaf ear,, resultantly by this time my business had crashed/ collapsed/ lost.
(f )
vide my Regd Post letter dt. 04,02,2012, we expressed our desire to close our loan account an paid off Rs:18,68,303=00 vide Citibank chq.No. 37284, after deducting money's spent / paid to Kotak Bk, which was returned back by Kotak Bk un en cashed, and requested to surrender / return my Original property document of M 6/2 along with blank un dated 1.03croer two cheques.

That's it,,, look forward to your line of support

Dear Sir,
Many o[censored]s are employees of an organisation and we all opened an account with Kotak Mahendra Bank . We have not received ATM PIN number and Cheque book. I opened the account in the month of December and have not yet received ATM PIN . The bank does not understand a customer's plight at all. The customer care is very unfriendly . They always blame on the Courier service as an excuse for not delivering the 'Kit' at the respective residential addresses. They make us run to different branches and create nuisance. We suffer at the hands of the 'lazy' and 'least bothered attitude' of Kotak.

Its time they woke up and treat the customers with respect.

Thanks & Regards,
Raji.

Hi,
My Name is Amit Maharwar one of the account holder of your bank.
I have got the salary account with KOTAK MAHINDRA BANK.But,With
so much disappoinment i have to inform you that false expectations
were made to me because of which now am in a helpless situation.
On 8th-March-2012 on of your agent asked to me open a bank account,
I informed him that i have already got the salary account with kotakbr...

Hi,

This is in regards to my Car loan with KMPL. I do not have the Loan Account Number right now with me but I am sure you can easily avail that from your records using my name.

This issue is that I have stopped the direct debit from my account and for that KMPL is charging me every time the EMI is returned.
Has KMPL even bothered to call back customer once in last 6 months since I have stopped the EMI and thought why has the customer stopped the EMI?
The charges have shot up more than 2000 which I am not going to pay. If you people do not still call back and solve my issue I will stop paying the EMI itself. There is a limit to everything.
I have not yet stopped paying the bank EMI do not push customer to indulge in such activities.
The issue started around 6 months back when one of my EMI was bounced and KMPL charged me penalty.
I requested them to revert as this was the first time and all banks initially reverse the first instance. I have two more loans running and all banks give this much benefit to their customers.
Your customer support executive was rude and did not oblige. Then I requested to change my EMI date as its always going be an issue as when ever my salary will be delayed the EMI will bounce for which she refused and told such changes will also be charged.
Since then I have stopped my direct debit. Ts been 6 months I am paying through cheque and none of the senior managers have even bothered to call customer why he has stopped DD.
Is this what you call customer service?

I request KMPL to ask any senior Manager to call me and clear my unnecessarily charged penalty else I will have to escalate the issue in consumer court.

Dear Sir,
I, Mr. Bharat Chandra Das had been misguided and misleaded by one of your authorised agent named Mr. Dip Bhowal (Agent Code[protected]. Last year on 29rd March 2011, Mr. Dip Bhowal had came to me to make one insurance policy, but at the time of doing the policy he told me that there was excellent scheme of fixed return of 12% p.a from Kotak Mahindra Life Insurance Company with 80C and 10(10D) benefit of Income Tax Act 1961....

I enter the policy agreement with Life Insurance | Term Life Insurance | ULIP | Insurance ... - Kotak.com
insurance.kotak.com/
They approached me through telephonic for offering the insurance policy .They offered that lot of feature in the proposed policy.they dispatched bond after two month of commencement of policy agreement . While I received my bond which is related to the policy .I got shocked for following reason:
The policy benefit and other point is entirely different from the offer which was proposed in the telephonic conversion. The profession, date and place of signature are forgery as to create multiple polcy.I loss nearly 35000 .They are making false hope to cover the policy and never mind about our loosing money

Kotak is eating up my hardly earned Money…..

Kotak has cheated me by putting me different plan (Kotak Securities - Prepaid Plan) from the plan which has been explained to me on phone by Mr. Ajay Thakur (From Marketing Team).

Every six month nearly 4000 to 6000 is being getting deducted. And for this I am taking a regular follow up with the team from last two years and escalated the issue 2-3 times. But I am not getting any proper response from the kotak. I have tried visit branch personally, but it was also of no use. There was no one dedicated to handle a customer (There is no option at kotak for the customer to have a face – to – face interaction).

On top of that Kotak Mahindra Bank is not allowing me to close my account which is linked to the security account. And Kotak Mahindra Bank is also deducting certain amount (Rs.800 to 900 quarterly) for QAB.

I am fed up with kotak as I have wasted abundant time and money. I have tried many times to discontinue the relationship. But they are not allowing me to do so.

Please do the needful…..
