Incorrect Ledger balance

I have been constantly writing emails to kotak securities regarding incorrect Ledger balance and trading amount, but have not received any clarification on the same.

Hi, I have account with Kotak securities which was opened ages ago. I have not used the account for the while and so it became dormant. I wanted to reactivate it again as the company I work for has made it legal binding for me to submit the statement for my DMAT account every quarter. When I sent KYC to get it activated I got to know that the account details were burnt in nax fire and the account is suspended as I had not submitted the documents...

settlement funds transfer

Website: www.kotaksecurities.com

Funds transferred to bank account as per sebi settlement transfer not reflecting in bank account even after 5 working days.

No support or details available for transaction reference number.

Seems kotak is utilizing the funds for another purpose.

Very poor handling of such monetary matters, given the fact when there is a delay on margin funding, the interest is charged without asking, whereas no...

    Dear Kotak Neo.
    Today I traded with my Kotak Neo App[protected] i bought a call of 47700 (02:11PM) whose price was 38 /- rupees at that time after that I was selling at 02:20 at the price of 42/- Rupees but at the same time due to hanging of Kotak Neo App I could not sell I tried many times at the same time but app for a long time The hang lasted for about 20 minutes. I think its not my fualt its done from your side. Due to which I got a loss of Rs. 6300 / - I also told this issue on toll free, but I did not get any strong support nor did I get my amount back yet, I am mailing you again and with screen short, I sincerely hope that you will solve my problem.

          I have taken up this issue with Kotak Securities already. On the 20th October 2023 the NEO app from Kotak Securities had a malfunction affecting many users. Due to this malfunction in NEO app I could not put a stop loss or square off my positions since all the positions disappeared for a good 30 minutes. In my frantic attempts to sell the lots, I lost at least 5-6 points per share that amounts to closely 40K-45k for a total of 7875 shares, script name "Eicher Motors 3580 CE 26 October". Although the brokerage firm is owning up to the mistake in the app, they are providing a very less amount as compensation/goodwill gesture which is approximately for 2 points only. I am not getting a clear communication for the broker and being asked to bear 50-70 percent of the mistake done by NEO app.

            Hello, I got some stocks from Kotak margin trading, but billed for the full amount, when i sold the stocks, I only got half of the money back. Also, Kotak billed me for cancelled transaction, their customer service couldn't provide any details of the transaction even after i gave them the bill number. Kotak's margin trading is fraud, please don't buy

                    Address: Ahmedabad
                    Website: Kotak Securities

                    My name is Abi John and I am from Baroda. I have a kotak securities trading account (6DBS3) with Ahmedabad Branch & have been using Keathprox for several years. I registered a complaint via mail on 8-Mar-23 to my RM, Mr. Vatsal Khatri regarding discrepancies in the contract note for trades carried out on 1-Mar-23. Since I did not receive any response, I sent reminders on 15-Mar-23. 22-Mar-23 & 31-Mar-23, but still I did not get any response. And since I marked a copy of the 3rd reminder to the escalation team, I received a reply from Vatsal aswell as from from Madhuri Chavda (Escalation team) seeking to have a conversation with me over the phone. I specifically asked them to revert to me with the revised contract note or send me the details of the contract in written via mail, so that it stays as a reference for the future. However, even the escalation team official Madhuri has washed her hands by sending the same mail again & again saying that they have tried to contact me on my mobile, without any success and that I need to call up on a number [protected].
                    I don't understand why Kotak Securities Officials are not able to resolve a issue related to discrepancies in contract note for the last 1 month. And why is that that even the escalation team Official is reluctant to communicate regarding the discrepancies in written via a mail. What kind of customer service is this ? And what is the meaning of escalation matrix when even the escalation matrix official evades responsibilities ?
                    All that I have asked for is a clarification to the discrepancies in one single contract note ? That'a not rocket-science, but your officials still tend to be totally irresponsible which seems deliberate.
                    Can somebody look into this ? or would I have to still keep on sending reminders and mails to the higher officials in the escalation matrix ?
