Hi Everyone,
I want to share my experience with Kotak Mahindra Bank to help others be informed about their customer service and policies. If you contact their customer care team for any queries, they speak rudely and show no respect for customers.
Recently, I had a terrible experience with Kotak. I purchased on Flipkart using my Kotak Credit Card for a total bill of ₹18, 297 or ₹18, 298. I then opted to convert this amount into EMI. After doing so, I received a call from a female employee at Kotak regarding my bill. She informed me about the EMI conversion, but when I told her that I had already converted my bill into EMI, she insisted that it was not yet converted. I told her to ignore it if it wasn’t converted, as I would pay the full amount instead.
Despite my clear instructions, I received multiple calls from Kotak representatives regarding the same issue. Each time, I informed them that I had already converted the bill or was willing to pay the full amount. However, Kotak still proceeded to convert my bill into EMI and changed my due amount. After this conversion, my full bill amount was shown as due, and there was no option to pay only the EMI amount. As a result, I had to pay the full amount.
Today, when I checked my statement, I noticed that there was no record of my March credit card bill. When I contacted Kotak’s customer care, they informed me that the EMI conversion could not be canceled and that they would continue to charge interest for the upcoming month. Despite having already paid the full amount, they had already applied interest, processing fees, and GST. When I questioned why they were applying additional charges, they simply stated that it was per Kotak's terms and conditions.
To escalate the issue, I spoke with a Kotak manager named Subham. However, they refused to provide their full name to customers, making it difficult to hold them accountable.
Due to this frustrating experience and the bank’s unethical practices, I have decided to close my Kotak Mahindra account.
I hope my experience helps others stay informed and cautious when dealing with Kotak Mahindra Bank.

- Thank You! We appreciate your effort.
