    I had registered for nps and have selected my kotak mahindra bank as my pop bank for nps.

    My pran is generated. However, kyc verification is pending from kotak bank. The nps status right now says "Freeze due to KYC verification is pending at Bank".

    The kyc verification is now supposed to be completed by bank.

    Its been more than 12 days and the kyc is still not verified by the bank. I need to make investment before this month end but the bank is being a blocker. Without kyc verification, i can't invest any further in nps.

    I tried to reach kotak bank NRI customer support but no one is responding.

                I raised a request for lien removal on 21st April and TAT was 7 working days and all amount is deducted from my account and nothing is pending but still lien is not removed from my account and for an minimal Charge of Rs.1000/- more than 1.5 lakhs is being kept on hold in my account from more than 30 days and no one bothered to even help me in getting this resolved as from last 7 days due to Medical Emergency I am struggling on short of Cash and wherein my hardly earned money is being blocked by the loan team where they are simply harrasing me in getting my lien amount removed. I got multiple assurances stating that the amount will be released in 24 hours and then even after a week no resolution is provided than I was said that there is 50% of manpower working due to which it is getting delayed than again I was told that the senior will call me from Concerned dept within 6 hours but even that has not happened. I need to file and case if this is not done.

                  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

                      Dear Sir,

                      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.
