Dear Customer, The outstanding balance on your Kotak Bank Credit Card xxxx3032 has exceeded the credit limit, and the applicable fee is charged. T&C apply.

Uske Baad Maine NetBanking Login Karke Dekha To Wahan Pe Charges Ki To Aandhi Aayi Huyi Hai

Charges Dekh Ke Mera Dimaag Kharab Ho Gya Uske Baad Kotak Ke Customer Care Ko Call Lagaya Aur Sari Kahani Batayi Ki Maine Billing Cycle Change Karaya Tha Charges Nahi Maage The To Unhone Kaha Ki Jab Aapne Billing Cycle Change Karane Ki Request Di Thi Tab Customer Care Executive Ne Aapse Kaha Nahi Ki Aap Apna Billed Amount Pay Kar Dijiye Ya Kisi Charges Ke Baare Mai Nahi Bataya Aapko To Maine Kaha Aisa To Unhone Kuch Nahi Bataya.

Uske Baad Call Senior Ko Transfer Kiaa Gya Wahan Unhone Bola Ki Hum Is Cheej Ko Investigate Karege Aur Us Call Recording Ko Sunege Jisme Aapke Dwara Billing Cycle Ko Change Karne Ki Request Di Gayi Thi Aur Agar Customer Care Executive Ki Galti Huyi Aur Unhone Aapko In Sab Charges Ke Baare Mai Nahi Bataya To Aapke Sare Charges Reverser Kar Diye Jayege

Everything Normal Ok


Aur Abhi Jab Mai Ye Thread Likh Raha Tha Tabhi Likhte Likhte Kotak Ki Taraf Se Call Bhi Aa Gya Ki

Sir Humne Aapke Dwara Ki Gayi Complaint Ko Investigate Kia Aur Call Recording Sunne Ke Baad Hume Ye Pata Chala Ki Customer Care Executive Ke Error Ke Wajah Se Ye Sare Charges Lag Gaye Hain Aur Hum Abhi In Sabhi Charges Ko On Call Reverse Kar Rahe Hain Lakin Sir GST Reverse Nahi Hoga Lakin Uske Liye GST Reversal Ki Bhi Liye Request Raise Ki Hai Joki Sirf Upar Se Approval Basis Pe Reverse Hoga

GST Mujhe GST Wala Amount Bhi Chaiye Vo Kya Ped Par Lagta Hai

normally billing date change will get effective from next month

Kotak made it effective in same month.
And Such important fact should be disclosed by the executive who took the request

Before raising such request always confirm whether Billing date change, will get effective from same month i.e, before due date of current bill or next month

Also, they make sure the dues are cleared first before accepting a request for changing the billing cycle. They did at least in my case. Wondering how they modified the billing cycle even before dues are cleared.

The Kotak guy messed up here. I requested the billing cycle change and they asked me to clear the outstanding amount which I had already cleared earlier that day. They asked me to wait 1-2 days for the amount to be settled before requesting billing cycle change.

TL, DR; Kotak bank is actually Lotak bank. It messed up, and the poor guy paid GST charges for the messup.
to be honest, i would have taken the bank's side in this case, as i would never imagine that the due date would be extended for an ALREADY GENERATED statement. because that would mean getting more than 50 days interest free period.
but good that OP followed up and got the charges reversed (even the GST!).

amex had told my friend that the call recording file got corrupted when he had asked for checking it about a dispute.

Or they could've just created policy that billing cycle can be changed only when all dues are paid. No chik Chik no jhik jhik🐊

But due date is 3rd of next month.
Charges deducted on 25th.
He is not aware that Kotak will suddenly generate a new bill as kotak executive never explained him about this.
Otherwise he will definitely settle the bill before 25th of the same month.

Even if bill date change Becomes effective from next month, the due date of current bill will remain same i.e, 3rd.

In no way we can take benifit of more than 50 days period by changing bill date.


I think ICICI is an exception to this.
Last year , My bill date is 15th and I called on 10th to change the bill date to 28th.

Now at that time bill was generated on 28th of the next month instead of the same month, so technically I am able to avail more than 50 days Credit Period.

I did this on Apay Card twice and successfully availed more than 50 days Credit Period each time, because at that time I geninuely want some extra days to pay off the complete bill.

So may be some customers used this technique to get More than 50 days Credit Period without doing any manufactured Spends and CC to Bank.
Hence Banks now ask, to clear current outstanding first then we will take request of bill date change.

On the 16th April, this guy requested that his billing date be changed to the 25th of every month, and the kotak guy accepted his request.

So the statement date was 25 March, and he had to pay it before the 11th or 12th of April as per the system, but the amount was unpaid, so a new statement was generated on the 25th April mentioning late payment charges.

This guy should have requested a billing date change after April 27th.

Please read previous comments, the customer service rep made a mistake.

Once your statement is generated, clear your outstanding amount within a week, then call customer service to change the billing date and do not use that card until the new billing date is set.
