Kotak Mahindra Bank Complaints & Reviews

Dear All,

I have been cheated by Kotak Credit card division.

Following is a chronological chain of events
1.I recieve many calls in the month of August from the number: [protected] by the executive named Aditi who says that since i have a salaried account with kotak bank Kotak will give me a lifetime free credit card with 3 months EMI free without processing fee and without any charges as a part of the credit card offers specially for my company

I opt for the card considering the EMI facility

2. I make a purchase of INR 13720/- and call the call center to avail the facility. The call center says that processing fee will be charged.

3. I write to Kotak and am told that this offer was discontinued after 12th October 2011.

4. To add to my shock i recieve another call from the number [protected] offering me same features incluing free EMI
I would advise anyone opting for Kotak cards to be sure that they do not get cheated in a similar way.

Regards

Ajey

dear sir/madam,

I have taken a policy from kotak life insurance dated 31/10/2008 of premium 1.5 lac, whose policy no.is[protected]Dilip Kumar Banerjee), with reduction the premium of next two year, but company do not this i.e.no reduction of premium. At the time of policy taken company says please don't worry for next two year, i shall reduced your premium up to 15000/- for next two year.i have given a request for premium reduction in the month of oct-2009 & i have also received a letter from company & according to this letter he says we are consider your request. when i visit the branch of kotak life ,kanpur , company's manager says your request are in process please wait for some time.Now, company says deposit 3.0 lacs premium before 31/10/2011, otherwise your 1.5 lacs is also lapse. so now i am requesting to you, please solve my problem & return back my premium or reduce it up to 15000/-. waiting for your reply.

My Relationship manager (RM) from Kotak bank came with its insurance advisor and suggested me to invest 2.00 lakhs one time payment in Kotak Second innings plan as part of my wealth building exercise towards a long term investment.
Firstly, i have paid the amount and when I received the premium paid receipt, found certain incorrect details like nominee name, premium paying term etc. and informed my RM to take care before policy issue. With full confidence on the Kotak bank & its group , I didnot send a letter in writing.
2ndly received the original policy very late after payment (approx.2-3 months time). Meanwhile, I logged into KLIFE website using my customer ID & policy no and raised a complaint on above incorrect details and also stated non-receipt of original bond. This complaint was within in 2 weeks of premium receipt and before even receiving the bond. KLIFE cud have corrected all these discrepancise before issuing the bond. but they didn't do it.
Their response is like IVRS message & stated this is as per application form etc.
Frankly, the form was filled by the agent from kotak and my RM. I have only believed them and signed it. I have been repeatedly chasing since 1 year and many officials from KLIFE visited me & assured that they will take care. But to my surprise, recived renewal notice immediately after one year. I raised this to KLIFE and again same pathetic response. I am totally un-happy customer with Kotak.
Please advise when will I receive my 2.00 lakhs premia paid and why KLIFE doesn't take responsibility of errors in their policy even after highlighting by customers? What action can we take on the agent who done a wrong selling of policy to me. pls help as klife is still chasing for

Dear Sir/Ma'm,

1. This is regarding non receipt of Form G.A.R.-7 Service Tax Payment. It is intimated that on 08 Oct 2011, form for Tax Payment Request Form (Service Tax and Excise duty) duly filled in alongwith a cheque bearing machine No 001408 for a sum of Rs 38,728/- was handed over to Palam Branch(same attached with this mail), which was slated to have processed on 10 Oct 2011. The amount in question has already been debited from my account, but despite complaining at call centre and with the Bank relationship officer Ms Akansha Ahuja several times, nothing fruitful could be done at ther end.

2. Service tax return is due in few days and with out the above stated document, same could be lapsed. You are kindly requested to look into the matter to resolve the same at the soonest please.

with warm regards

Yours sincerely,

I (Prashanth Chindam) had an account in Kotak Mahindra Bank with an account no: [protected].
On 9 Oct 2011, Rs.827 have been wrongly deducted from my account showing the reason as AQB non maintainance, without any fault from my side.

Dear Sir

As per your comments on my complaint, no one contact me till now. i called the bank and they said service manager will know about it and disconnect my call. Please let me know whether you are going to sort it out or i will move to court. i am fed up from the bank as i take more than a month and no result is found till now. I request you to please train your staff before assign them any duty.


Thank you

Regarding brokerage
Respected Sir/Madam,

i am prem chand and i am writing this complaint on behalf of my wife Reena. we have opened a account in your rajpura branch which include saving account, a Demat and online trading account. At the time of opening the account, Bank made a commitment that bank will charge a brokerage of 0.02% (for intraday) and 0.2% on delivery in plan A. Bank official did not tell us that bank will charge a flat brokerage on the share having value less then Rs 100 and also about the Monthly NSDl charges. Now bank is charging at rate of flat 3 paise on intraday and 30 paise on delivery. I made complaint regarding this to bank, but they do not have a solution of this. Bank manager said, they can reduce my brokerage for future, they cannot reimburse the extra brokerage charged by bank. If bank can charge extra money from my account then bank must have to reimburse the money to my account. Please sort out my problem and reimburse my money to my account. This is fraud done by bank. Please contact me instead of my wife in this regards as i am looking all her banks accounts.

Thank you

With due regards

I reach home at 5.30. but courier boy not come,
Today i call bue dart call centera (attending Kunal) pls give taday after 8.00P.M. but don't agree
On Friday before 11.00AM than also he did not agree.

What to do?

Shall i give leave?

Bank has debited late fee, interest and service on my card account on account of delay in payment whereas I have deposited the cheque well before due date in branch situated at Firoze Gandhi Market, LUdhiana. This is happened second time with me, previously bank has reversed the charges on my repeated requests now bank rejected my request. calling again and again to the bank is just my wasting of time. so please take action.

I am Andre Francis Fernandes, I own a Kotak Bank League Credit Card. The League Card is a Platinum Card of Kotak Bank for which is a paid card with unique features, because of which I enrolled paying Rs. 8500. The card had unique proposition that every point earned is equal to Rs. 1 which is automatically redeemed against the statement every three months, Fuel charge waiver, conversion of one transaction to 3 monthly EMIs without any processing fee or interest.
However, the card has over the period of time slowly withdrawn firstly the fuel charge waiver in February 2011, secondly the conversion of no charge EMIs in September, 2011. These withdrawals had prior intimation on their statements. This is a well accepted fact by me as I have prior intimation.
However, Kotak bank also claims that they have also withdrawn the every point earned is equal to Rs. 1 which is automatically redeemed against the statement every three months facility; was also stopped on 1st February 2011, which they also claim has been communicated over the statements in January.
I have statements right from December to March statements and none of the statements has any mention of the withdrawal of the above said scheme.
I would like Kotak Bank to be pulled up for such fraud with their customers and would like my entire points which is 13709 to be redeemed as Rs.13709 as per the early norms of the card. This is robbing / cheating me of Rs.13709 against my statement
I can be contacted on +91 [protected]. I would want Kotak to be pulled up for cheating their customers who they claims to be prized assets, that too for customers of one of their most prestigious cards - The League.

How far is it correct to charge a pre-payment penalty to any customer???
Most of the banks are charging anything from 2 to 6% and I would like to know, how far is it leagal to charge such a penalty!!!
If at all banks should felicitate the customers opting to pre-close their account, for closing the loan well in time and not being a defaulter.
