🚨 SERIOUS COMPLAINT AGAINST KOTAK MAHINDRA BANK | ACCOUNT FREEZE & UNACCEPTABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE @Kotak Mahindra Bank I am raising a serious complaint regarding the prolonged debit freeze on my savings account, contradictory explanations, and extremely disappointing customer service. As a student, freelance web developer, and young entrepreneur, this situation is severely affecting my financial and professional activities. 1. CONTRADICTORY CYBER LIEN INFORMATION During my branch visit, I was informed that TWO CYBER LIENS existed on my account. However, Kotak's phone customer support stated that NO CYBER LIEN existed. How can two departments of the same bank provide completely opposite information? 2. TRANSACTION DETAILS ALREADY PROVIDED I acknowledge that my account had transactions exceeding my declared financial profile, including funds being received and transferred within short periods. I have already provided the requested transaction details and explanations. Yet my account remains frozen without a clear resolution. 3. MISLEADING & CONTRADICTORY GUIDANCE The unfreeze department initially advised me to increase my declared annual income and change my profile from Student to Self-Employed, stating that this would resolve the freeze. Now, I have received another call from the unfreeze department informing me that the FINAL OPTION is ACCOUNT CLOSURE. How can the proposed solution suddenly change from updating account details to closing the account entirely? 4. NO TIMELY COMMUNICATION If my transaction activity was inconsistent with my declared profile, why was I not informed earlier and asked to provide clarification? Instead, my account was frozen months later, and I am still struggling to obtain a consistent explanation. MY FORMAL DEMANDS: • Written confirmation of the exact reason for the freeze. • Clarification regarding the alleged two cyber liens. • An explanation for the contradictory instructions. • Written justification for proposing account closure. • Immediate review, a clear resolution process, and an expected timeline. @Kotak Mahindra Bank, I request urgent intervention from senior management and the grievance redressal team. I have cooperated and submitted the requested information. I expect transparency, accountability, and fair treatment in return. Account closure should not be presented as the only solution without a clear explanation.
