Address: Sainara Apartment, Linking Rd, Santacruz West, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400054

I had taken a Consumer Durable loan in Feb 2020, EMI's for which were supposed to start from April 2020 (total 8 EMIs). However, due to the lockdown situation, Kotak had offered a moratorium for April-May 2020, which I had accepted.

Kotak had again offered moratorium for June-July 2020, which I had accepted. I even have proof that Moratorium for June - July was approved. Yet, Kotak started encashing the cheques, first on 05/06/2020 and then again on 12/06/2020 (please refer to IDBI confirmation about these failed transactions). I had applied for Moratorium due to the financial crunch, so obviously cheques bounced and I had to pay these charges. In July 2020, Kotak Mahindra encashed EMI (without respecting the valid moratorium) and stole the money that was meant for my house-hold expenses.

This was not enough. They went on increasing the EMI illegally. Have a look at the calculations done by them. They respected moratorium only for 2 months, yet deducted as per moratorium charges were for 4 months.

I completed paying all the 8 EMIs on 05/02/2021. However, on 03/03/2021, I got an SMS alert from Kotak Mahindra asking me to keep Rs. 15052/- ready for EMI deduction. I was shocked at the audacity of this fraud bank, so I had to empty my bank account. Kotak went ahead and tried to encash the EMI on 05/03/2021. Proof is enclosed with confirmation by my bank (IDBI). So, in all, 3 times I had to pay cheque return charges, due to Kotak's fraudulent behavior.

Kotak Mahindra did not respect the Moratorium assurance letter given to the customer and has been shamelessly cutting money from my bank account

I want Kotak to refund all the money that it had illegally duped from me as well as the cheque return charges that I had to pay.

I am a deaf person, which is known to Kotak Mahindra. Those ### responded to my CONSUMER COMPLAINT by asking me (deaf person) to call up at their CUSTOMER support number, instead of responding via emails or chat.

Kotak Mahindra Bank is the biggest, fraudulent & shameless Bank. They are prompt in stealing CUSTOMER's money but will keep dragging their feet when they are supposed to refund CUSTOMER's money.

    Kotak Bank closed my 811 account in sept 2020 without informing me. Then the remaining balance was to be delivered through demand draft which is not yet happened. Their staff are just not following me up for the result. Their customer service is saying that your CRN no is invalid.

      Dear Sir,
      I have a Kotak credit card Ending with 5776. I tried for Rs. 4, 00, 000/- payment on 26/02/2021 but the card declined due to security reasons. I called customer care after that I received a call from your bank and the customer care executive said to me sir I will *upgrade* your credit card with tons of features and benefits and its fees Rs. 3, 000 + 18% GST. I agreed on that terms but when I received my monthly statement I saw there is "OVER LIMIT CHARGES". I spent within my limits but due to upgrading the card my limit decreased after my expenses. I called the customer care executive to close my card because I don't want this card. They said they will arrange a call back. I raised this issue on twitter so kotak bank gave me assurance about reversal of charges. I paid more than the full amount. Only Left Overlimit charges and Annual Fees. But this month I haven't received any waiver and FINANCIAL CHARGES of 9879.12 + 18% GST. This is totally unethical and corrupt practice done by kotak bank. I am really frustrated.
      I always paid your amount on time. I am your more than 12 years old customer. I don't know how you behave with your old customer.

      Your Customer Care worse than worst your A.I. Software Kyra.Your Website give us error of Grievance redressal
      Kindly look at this matter seriously. I hope for the best resolution.

      Thanks

      I have been using Kotak credit cards for more than four years. May 30th, 2021, I received a message(s) saying that the card used for Rs: 59141 without my authentication from Amazon in some other country. I tried calling customer care but I couldn't able to reach them. tried in different ways but no luck reaching them. If I compare with other backs Kotak has very very bad customer support. I have raised FIR for the same and here I am mentioning it for reference. Please do the necessary actions.

                                My CRN number is 28519014.

                                I deposited a cheque for 10 lakhs with cheque number 000075 yesterday[protected] at Perambur branch(Door No 63G & 63G1, Old No41, 70 Feet Rd,
                                Jawahar Nagar, Chennai, Tamilnadu)and it got credited to my account.
                                But the bank is holding the funds without giving proper reasons. I have never had such experience in any of my other banks.

                                I need this amount urgently for settling some emergency medical reasons.
                                Please take action and release the amount immediately.

                                  continuously calling on the family number and saying false language / bad words to us from the past two days on every number she's getting from connected accounts.

                                  We think someone took a loan and gave our number as backup and we don't know this person who took the loan and this Kotak representative continuously calling us and harassing us too much.
