sir I am dr amarsinh shivajirao shende M.S ,i am surgeon practicing since last twenty years in sangola .I have taken loan for ambulance three years back almost all installments are cleared only last three installments are irregular because of bank problem (solapur nagari bank merging in rajasthan bank so they have stopped transiction).Even though there is sufficient amount in account they are not clearing PDC due to technical problem.All these things are explained to recovery person mr lokhande (cell no [protected]) & mr nemase( [protected]).But they threatening me on phone using wrong dirty abusing langwage 'continiousely harassing me.Being asurgeon I have to deal with serious patients this also i have explained them but intentionly .I am going to lodge criminal complaints againest them but being sincere customer of kotak mahindra this is my duty to inform such mannerless criminal minded persons who are responsible for defamations of kotak mahindra my cell no [protected]

Kotak Mahindra has been sending sms to me to pay the dues against credit card a/c no. xxxx9189. But I have not received the said card from the bank. I am in possession of Trumpth card of the same bank bearing no.[protected]. Recently I found that the card seems to be inactivated. On 8th april 2011 I have issued a cheque for Rs,655(approximately). But as per the bank (KMBL) the cheque is returned unpaid to them. But my banker i.e.Andhra Bank informed me that the said cheque is not presented to them for encashment.
Some time back the officials of KMBL sought my permission ovwer phone to upgrade the credit card to next level and asked me to pay some amoun towards fees and the same was paid by cheque refering my exisiting card number.
My point is that why I should pay dues against the card which I am not possessing. If the KMBL is not interested they are at liberty to close my account and settle the dues if any.

Thanking you,
Yours friendly,
B.V.Durga Prasad.

I opened a current account with Kotak in january 2011, so far I have not recd the net banking password or the atm pin. I called them several times by now. When i called them first time they said my mobile number and mail id are not updated, so i updated them. Can i get my password now?, they said they cannot issue the password till next 30 days because the mobile number has been recently updated. What a joke.!!...Wait for 30 days to get the password and that too today where every other bank is doing it in click of a second...and on top of that mine is a current account of professionals ...I asked do i have any other option..Yes sir, u can submit a request for password to be sent by courier...I placed a request for that..I got a message saying ur password has been posted the next day..It has been 1 month since..I have not received anything...I called up again...this time they told me some other story...sir u can generate the password online...I am doing the same since last 3 days but to no avail...its been almost 3 months now that i opened my account and i do not have my atm password or the net banking pin...This banks policies are very very wierd and difficult to understand...I hope i had never opened kotak bank account....

Hi,

This is to inform you that I hold a Savings Account with Kotak Bank, account number: [protected].
I see that an amount of Rs. 827.25 has been debited from my account, with the narration 'Non-Maintenance charges' on 01/04/2010.
Now I have a Linked Deposit account [protected] for Rs.13000 and hence my Combined Total Balance had always been above Rs.10000 which is the minimum balance for the maintenance of an account. At the time when the Deposit account was being opened, the customer care executive had informed me that since I have a linked Deposit account, the Combined Total Balance is taken into account for minimum balance calculation. As I had a total of Rs.13000 above as my Combined Total Balance, I never maintained an additional balance of Rs. 10000 in my Savings Account. I was surprised to see this morning that I have been charged for non-maintenance of account balance.
This is complete Customer harassment. I fail to understand why Kotak sells such incorrect information to the customers and later charge them this way. This is not the only time I am having an issue with Kotak for such misguidance. I want this amount to be reversed to my account ASAP.. They cannot take their customers for granted and charge them unnecessarily this way. This is Fraud and they should not get away with this easily.
Also I have not been receiving any physical statement for my account and even after repeated complaints, nothing has been done. I had already communicated to the customer care that I have limited access to Internet. And see what the outcome is. I get to know that such charges are levied to my account without my knowledge.

Dear Sir
I have a complaint against Kotak Life Insurance Company Ludhiana Branch Some months back i took two policies one Single Investment for Rs.1, 50,000/- and another against Money Back policy for Rs.50,000/-After some time I received policies but to my astonishment the policies were issued but were totally wrong, the policy Rs.50,000/-was in single investment and Rs.1,50,000/-in Money Back, immediately I informed the company regarding their error and requested them to cancel the policies and refund me an amount of Rs.200,000/- They agreed in principle and requested me to wait for a fortnight. In the mean time I had to go abroad and after ten days my family informed me that two policies have come from Kotak Life Insurance co. i was shocked to know this and immediately I contacted the company and gave good thrashing to them they became very humble and promised me to wait for another fortnight for cancellation of the policy and refund of amount and also told me to return the policy bonds through their Srinagar counter I asked my family to deposit the said policies in the company. When I came back from my tour after twenty days I immediately contacted Ludhiana and enquired about the refund money of my two cases and they informed me that policies have not come back from Srinagar I rebuked them and after that I straightly went to their Srinagar post who informed me that policies have not been sent without me any way they dispatched the policies not through their agency office but from me and not to the address of the company but to some officers residential address, I asked them why you are doing so and avoided me and asked me to pay the courier charges, then after four or five days I contacted Ludhiana office who categorically refused that no policy has been received by them, I readily contacted Blue Dart office and after seeing their records they gave me the full details of the consignment that had been dispatched from Srinagar on 06th of April and delivered at Ludhiana on 08th of April and received by a lady not working in the office, I got irritated by their irresponsible attitude and and also there was no fun to follow them as that would be a futile effort .so I request your good offices to take the matter to its logical verdict.
Thank you sir and I remain

had applied for a Kotak Credit card after a lot of bugging from the customer care of the bank. I submitted my Pan card xerox along with with a passport photo to the bank executive.

From the date of submission of documents I started checking the status online and it always showed "Being Processed". After two weeks I called up the bank's customer care onyl to know that my application has been rejected.

I demanded a reason for the rejection but the bank's executive said that the verification process failed whereas I didnot get any verification calls or anyone in person to verify my details. He politely said that I receive an apology letter from the bank's side.

The private banks are doing their whims and noone takes any steps for the same. I request someone with authority to curb these menaces from these banks so that common man like me doesnot get harrassed.

This is regarding false promises made to corporate salary account holders by Kotak bank officials. We were promised a lot of facilities on my account during account opening. Later I discovered that Kotak had not created the right kind of account and the facilities I was promised like petro card, gold card etc were not activated on my account.

After a endless calls to call centre, customer support I am still not able to get a clear picture and commitment from Kotak Bank. Mr. Pratik Sinha who is suppose to be customer relations officer does not pick up calls and when escalated had called me once to request me to erfill some forms again.

This is not acceptable from a reputed bank like Kotak. Please do something to get my issue resolved if someone responsible is reading this.

Kotak after receiving the foreclosure amount against agreement no. STL-250041 subsequently further realised three EMIs from the concerned a/c through ECS. They are very reluctant to response and/or reply a series of letters furnished from this end. Only once I got a verbal assurance from the concerned personel Mr. Tapan Ojha after that it was very difficult to cross their office reception desk.

I had made a very big mistake by trusting Mr.Sunil (Territory Manager ) from Kotak life who had come to me throu some reference. I had purchased a life insurance policy throu him .At the time of issuing the policy i was told that as there is no collection centre of the company in our city they will provide me the facility and will collect the premium on due dates from my place but now as i have already paid 3 premiums (quarterly) they are troubling me a lot. After atleast 50 calls from my side there employee Mr. Saurabh collected a chq for the fourth premium from me on 09/03/2011 but till date my premium has not been cleared .Now i get a call from the company that they require some declaration from me. I have already paid them 15000/- now i get calls from them to convert my policy to some other plan. I am really fed up of all this stuff .

Sir,
Sub: Complaint against Kotak Insurance Company regarding.
I wish to bring to your kind notice that one lady representative of one group telling that they are from Kotak Insurance Company branch of Salem, Tamil nadu ,had telephoned from telephone number[protected] that Kotak Mahindera insurance company is celebrating 25 th annual day and on account of the same they have selected 1000 telephone numbers from Dharmapuri Town (Tamil Nadu) and our telephone number [protected] is one of the lucky numbers to be awarded with a free policy of value Rs.1000000 one lackh and asked me and my wife to come over to one Lakshmi Kalyanamandapam in Dharmapuri.
We have gone there at about 12.30 pm on 13/03/2011 just to see what is going on there.
At the reception they asked us one code number which was told to us by phone from Salem Branch persons. I have revealed the code number and in turn they given us one form to fill up. We filled up the same and after wards they started telling the performance of and the statistical data about Kotak insurance Company.
Further they told that we were one among the ten couples who are selected for the free policy offer and we would be given a special policy called CAPITAL MULPLIER at
Cheaper rate and we should sign the papers on that day it self for an annual premium of Rs.25000/.
They were forcing us to sign the papers on condition that we should pay cash Rs.25000/or c heque the next day.
That was the incident happened on 13/03/2011 at Dharmapuri Lakhmi kalayamandabam.This is a criminal activity and should be taken up with the Kotak insurance company for forcing the innocent public to take their insurance policy under the disguise of free offer camps and trespassing into the house of public through their telephones.
As per insurance laws no insurance company could force any one take their policy against their will.
I request that the concerned Insurance Company should be taken up and punitive measures should be imposed on them
Thanking you

I had opened (unfortunately) Kotak ULIP on 9-Jan-2009. My Policy Number is 01460451.
During opening of the policy, One of the kotak representative Ms. Poonam Rohra([protected], poonam.[protected]@kotak.com) told me during opening of the policy that locking period is 3 years and after that amount can be with drawn at any point of time. But after 3 years I came to know that First premium can not be withdrawn as policy term is 3 years.

Now how can i retrieve that amount? She is not even responding to my e-mail and calls.

I was cheated by Kotak Representative/ Frauds

I send all documents through speed post NO. EE[protected]IN on 03 FEB 2011 but no action has been taken yet.

Respected Sir,

With respect and sincere regards, I would like to submit to your kindself that I, Gaurav Kumar Sharma, resident of Sector 30, Faridabad, Haryana had a Policy (Policy No.[protected] of Kotak Mahindra Life Insurance (Kotak Mahindra Bank) for the last three years. I have been paying my premium regularly every year. This year in February, 2011 (dates between 05.02.2011 to 08.02.2011), I got telephonic calls from the Customer Care – Kotak Life Insurance on my mobile No. [protected] regarding the non payment of premium for my above said policy.

Sir, since my premium submission date was over and I was told by the Company representative over phone that they are deputing one of their representative in the name of Deepak to collect the premium in cash as it is already delayed. Fearing that my policy may not got cancelled, I gave the money amounting to Rs. 18,000/- in cash to Shri Deepak and he in turn showed me his Identity Card No. 46425 issued by Kotak Mahindera . The Company representative in turn issue me an acknowledgement Slip No. KP 2537958 dated 24/02/2011 amounting to Rs. 18,000/- from Kotak Mahindera and even gave his mobile No. [protected]. A copy of the receipt issued by them is enclosed herewith for your kind reference please.

Since but till 03.03.2011, when I find on internet that my premium had not been deposited by the representative of Kotak Mahindra, I approached the Kotak Mahindra Life Insurance Authorities through Customer Care and also in person to their Branch Office at Sector-16, Faridabad regarding the above. The authorities were unable to give any satisfactory reply in this regard.

However, to my utter mental disturbance and agony I approached the Duty Officer, Sector 31 Police Station, Faridabad at about 7.00 PM on 04.03.2011 and submitted my complaint in writing but till date I did not got any response from them about the fraudulent act done by the Kotak Mahindra Company.

Sir, this is a clear case of fraud performed by the Kotak Mahindra Bank which is duping the hard earned money of the poor people like me. I think it is a well established case of insiders of the company who pass on information to their representatives to collect the premium in cash and later switch off their mobile so that their whereabouts is not known. Sir, I am middle class family person and does not have enough income to bear such type of financial losses. I am facing both mental stress and financial crisis. I, therefore earnestly request you to kindly look into the matter personally and issue instructions to the concerned to investigate the matter I also fear that in the past also he has done such type of acts and had duped the people with their hard earned money.


Thanking you in anticipation and looking forward for a positive response in the matter at the earliest.

Yours faithfully,

Kotak has successfully disappointed me once again. I have gone through the trauma of reaching their unprofessional customer care and bank staffs. I am sure, like me, many of you would have experiences the horror of trying to reach kotak customer care by email or phone.

I had serious trouble with getting my home loan from Kotak in spite of all paper work being clear...and its still not solved. It seems no one in Kotak is really bothered to take the business forward.

Read through the mail that I wrote to customer care on 22nd feb 2011. I havent heard any response from them yet..not even the confirmation that they have received the complaint and they are looking into it. I think the post and telegraph system in 1980s worked faster than Kotak's customer care.

Subject: COMPLAINT :: Need aggressive contact point for Kotak home loan
To: service.[protected]@kotak.com


Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to you as I am deeply troubled by your agent handling my home loan.
I have applied for home loan through you agent Bhimrao - [protected]. The home loan is for 20lks and period of 15 years.

I had to follow Bhimrao day and night to get the home load approved in spite of my documents being clear. The home loan is approved now.

Now I am having problem in payment disbursement. My loan was approved sometime in October. Now it seems that the interest rates have changed in spite of the promise to keep the same interest rate till March 2011. It seems I will have to do the documentation work again as conveyed by Bhimrao.

I am in UK right now and I have given power of attorney to my Father. Even my father is disappointed by the services of Bhimrao and his approach towards work. Its absolutely unprofessional.

I am really worried by the casual approach and attitude of Kotak. I was not planning to take up home loan from Kotak as I was not satisfied with the services given to me by Kotak securities. I was some how taken into confidence by some Ms. Pallavi (my customer relationship manger) to go ahead with the loan as there are some good rates on offer. Now, Pallavi has left the bank and there is no contact point. In fact the loan rates have also changed in spite of all the promises. I am once again disappointed by the Kotak services.

I had to pay the first 2 instalments from my own pockets. Its a loss to Kotak as well.

Can you please move my loan to a more responsible agent. I want things moving before the next payment demand by the builder.

I am sorry if I have harsh in the above mail content. Please mail me on this mail ID. Optionally you can drop a SMS on +9198198XXXXX or call me on +4474380XXXX. Or give me a mobile number to reach the concerned person directly and I will give a call.

If the home loan cannot be processed then please refund the processing charges so that I can process the home loan from some other bank. You can send the cheque to Flat 602, Old Phase 1, Sonam Gyan CHS, Golden Nest, Mira Bhayander Rd, Mira Road East, Thane - 401107.
