This complaint is regarding incorrect & erroneous liquidation of my securities after receipt of false debit mailers to me & also after receiving repeated confirmations from customer service executive over recorded phone lines informing me that my securities are safe & will not be liquidated. (Evidence for reference-Kindly refer to the taped telephonic conversation between me & the executive on 01/10/2009 between 10.00-11.30am).This is mainly due to non-reflection of funds transfer amount in the ledger balance which supplements inaccurate calculation by the risk management systems leading to false debit mailers, incorrect margin computation & false debit positions on my account, resulting into liquidation of my securities on 01/10/2009 in error.
I am completely disappointed & hurt with the approach of my broker in resolution towards this query of mine.
To resolve this problem I require my broker to return my securities that are incorrectly being liquidated. Further, I would like to suggest that they should make their risk management systems more efficient so that customers like me are not victimized for such mistakes at their end & that the information that is being provided to the customers from their executive should be truthful & accurate !
Thank You

I have a trading a/c in Kotak Securities (NPZ -18, Client ID 11193996, Old Name Nitu Walia, Dp ID IN 300214) and after my marriage my name has been changed from Nitu Walia to Tanya Sarin due to religious facts. I have submitted photocopy of Pan card and Bank Statement of Axis Bank with my new Name. (Bank ref no KS8452).
But till dated the name in my account has not change. you are requested to do the needful.

I have not used my Kotak Securities account since[protected] and prior to that also i scarcely used it, have called just 2wice on the help line of Kotak Securities i.e. [protected] before this problem came in my knowledge.

Problem is,

on[protected] i wanted to withdraw all the amount in my trading account but the executive asked me and system also didnt permit me to withdraw 1000 rs that was minimum margin money. so i left 1000 rs in that account now after 1yr and 5 months when i activated my account password to my surprise it was -ve 300 rs . when i checked the ledger there was a deduction of 100 rs /month as 'BG SMS CHGS FOR (month) 2007 and so on. and i lost almost 1900 rs without using the service.

i never subscribed for any such service and when i called the customer care i didnt get any help instead they just talked to me, put the line on hold then disconnected the call then i called the nearest office in netaji subhash place the guy who picked up the phone gave me two helpline no's 66313130, 23314086 when i called, a lady named Megha picked the phone and then she said call after half an hour and so on i have not earned even 1500 rs from the account but have lost 1900rs starting from august 2007 onwards.

kindly help in getting my money back

Hi this is Anirudha A. Deshapnde here.
I want to file a complain against kotak securities for not providing any proper treatment to their customer.

I have a Demat account with kotak securities.
The DPID : IN300214
Client Code : XLPJ9

Its almost 4 moths have been passed for a simple change in email address updation.

I have submitted them the documents and written application twice for the change in my registered email address.
Also i have done follow up with them by calling at customer care 25-30 times in last 4 months.
But these guys are not doing anything.
Also recently they have sent me one depository bill cum transaction statement in which they are showing the updated emailID.
But for me to log in to my account they have not updated the email address.
Also none of the senior person form kotak is addressing to this problem.
Because of this i am having huge problem for trading purpose.
Please look into this.
Thanks,
Anirudha Deshpande

Sir,

I have opened an account with you recently. Being the strikes in the banks I could not deposit the margin money for the stocks purchased. But yesterday I have purchased the 100 shares of syndicate bank. Today i.e. on 07.08.2009 I have sold the shares and ask to put a bid of the lower amount . But the dealing person has denied to do that. When asked the manager Sh Kapil Tondon, he spokes also not satisfactorly. I donot wish to write here the hard words for him but the behaviour of your company is not cooperative.Your attitude is that customer should bear the loss and your company get the profit only.

I have canvasssed three to four accounts to give you but now it is not possible. If you are not trusting your people we are sorry to trust upon you.

Hello,

Suddenly without warning my Unitech shares has been liquidated, evn though my settlement was tomorrow (client id: sub80_5)

The excuse which the customer care agent Amit (call on 11.00 - 11.15 a.m. on 30/07/2009) is negative margin.

I was about to settle on the settlement date (tomorrow)

Why then the shares are liquidated and sufferring me a huge loss.


I am going to write to the govt. consumer forum as well as mouthshut.com for this.

Also, the kotak customer care operators are modifying my transaction time, so that I cannot transfer money from equity to bank.

There is no security in kotaksecurities and I am going to write to the ET brand equity for this as well as CNN-IBN profit channel.

If my margin was negative, then why Kotak allowed me to buy shares and giving me a loss ?


I want immediate redressal of my loss.

Hi

I joined Kotak Life Insurance Co. in the month of July 2007 in the Direct Marketing Department. The whole department was transferred to Kotak Securities in the month of January 2008. I left the company in November 2008.

As per the Sr. HR Official of Kotak Securities, Mr. Vikas Khambal, at Mumbai Head Office, my PF withdrawal from was submitted to the PF authorities on 10 of April 2009. Since now i.e. 15 July 2009, no transaction has taken place in my saving banks a/c and neither i have received any cheque or draft of my PF.

The Kotak Securities view on this issue is very much unsatisfactory. They are just giving me the dates till i should wait.

Please let me know the Establishment code of Kotak Securities and at which Mumbai EPF Office my PF was submitted.

Also how can i come to know that the PF deducted at time served in Kotak Life Insurance has been merged with the current PF a/c of mine.

Regards
Gaurav Sidhu

Dear Sir

Kotak Securities debited my 200 shares of Suzlon and Ashok Leyland without any intimation.
I spoke with customer care executive, he was saying that they sold them according to their debtor's policy.

Hi,
I Maulik Shah, had open an DMAT + Trading Account with Kotak Securities, Hyderabad Branch. Before opening the account the Kotak Executive had promised lot many things, like free account, good services and good market analysis. Today its almost 6 months now, the kind of service they have offered me is utter waste and upon that they have charge me with account opening charge of Rs 750/-. When I asked for the reason, he told it is general and we will wave it off. Now after 2 months they have still not waived that charges to me and saying me that they are helpless on this.
Now, When I have decided to close all my 7 accounts with them. They are telling to clear all the account dues then only account will be closed. I would like to know, if we as consumers can take some legal action on this, then I would be ready to take what it comes. And set an example for others. So these people will learn a lesson.
Kindly let me know, if you have any idea/anything that we can do on this.


Thanking you in advance.
Maulik Shah

Hi dears
Kotak securites have cheat with me regarding borkage.
Some one called me their office that if you will take super saver account your brokage will become down and they will charge 2500, in which 500 is plan conversion charge and 2000 will security which will revert back after 6 months.
Before convertion plan my intranet day brokage are 3paise and delivery borkage is 30 paise
After conversion its become 5 paise for intranet and 45 paise for delivery.

Second thing they told me that your plan will change when 2500 rupees will available in your account but this activated on next month when that amount has not available in my account.

so basically they have charged me 2500 reupees for increasing my brokage.
this happened on 21 jun and i have send complains from 28 july and sent a lot of mail, doing lot of calls on local office and bombay office but no onse send any response thru mail or phone
Now i am tired from last 65 days and left any hope, so any one can suggest me what i will do now.
Or tell me what is the process for consumer court.
Wait for your suggestions.

i have been calling kotak helpline for my lost trade password, i need finance urgently from my trading account to pay salaries, kotak is not giving any accurate response
call 1. they said they can take money from my account in to trading account but cannot put my sold share market amount back to it.
call 2. they asked me to apply online, i did it and then also called and confirmed my alternative mailing add.
call 3. customer sales executives are just helpless with the useless computer information system that can never take decisions.

now its 22nd of july n am facing salary issues by my employees.

RESPECTED SIR,
I HAVE OPENED AN DEMATE ACCOUNT WITH KOTAK SECURITIES IN DECEMBER-2007. AS THEIR AGENT TOLD ME THAT RS. 2000/- ADVANCE BROKERAGE WILL BE REVERSED AFTER SIX MONTHS & YOU WILL PAY ONLY 45 PAISE BROKERAGE PER RS. 100/- TRANSACTION DURING THIS 6 MONTHS.BUT I HAVE GENERATED RS. 1700/- BROKERAGE DURING THIS 6 MONTHS & NOW THEY ARE ESCAPING TO PAY ME MY BROKERAGE, THUS IT IS LIKE CHEATING THAT I HAVE PAID RS.3700/- (2000+1700). IT IS NOT FARE. I HAVE DONE TOO MUCH COMMUNICATION THROUGH EMAIL & PHONE BUT THEY ANSWER TO GENERATE 2000/- BROKERAGE WITH IN 6 MONTHS, SO IT IS TOO MUCH LOSE TO ME.PLEASE DO SOME NEEDFULL FOR ME.
