I have an account with Kotak but since I was inactive for sometime, they have made my account dormant, which is understandable. But When I tried making it active, they asked me Documents, which I gave them by email. Then they asked me to come to the branch, which i think is not fair. If I can open an account at home why cant I make a dormant account active from home. Anyways I went to the branch did the formatlities but my account did not become active, this was before lock down. I opened account in Zerodha in the lockdown and started trading there. After the lockdown last month I tried call center and got same response to go to branch, but when I went to the branch in Marol they asked me to go Worli which is 30 Kms from my home. According to me this not justified, I have certain shares in this demat otherwise I would not have bothered making my account active. I tried mail, call center and Kotak's Insta page also but issues dont get solved. Kotak team if you are reading do think that I am trying to tarnish your image this is a genuine feedback and I have screenshots and mails to prove.
