The points you accumulate on your Kotak card can be redeemed for an array of things. Listed below are some rewards redemption methods you can consider:
Pay with reward pointsInstead of paying for your purchases with cash or card, you can use your points at participating merchant outlets.
Redeem for merchandiseYour points can be redeemed for branded merchandise, movie tickets, airline tickets, air miles, cash, and even mobile recharges. In case of mobile recharges, merchandise, and airline tickets, these points will first be converted to Easy Points and the conversion rate is 1 Easy Point for every 5 reward points.
Redeem for vouchersYou can also redeem your points for air ticket vouchers. However, do note that this voucher is only valid for six months.
If you're no longer using your card and wish to close it, there are certain steps you need to follow. To close your Kotak card, it's advised to send written communication to the bank. Your credit card will only be cancelled if you have paid off your outstanding dues.
Once you have cleared the balance, request the bank to share written acknowledgement stating your credit card has been cancelled. This acknowledgement should also include that all your dues have been paid.
The only way you can transfer money from your Kotak credit card to your bank account is by taking a cash advance. You can use your card to withdraw money from the ATM and then deposit that money into your bank account. The amount you withdraw will be treated as a short-term loan and the interest charged will be sperate from the interest you are charged for your retail spends. Also, keep in mind that this loan does not have any grace period when it comes to repayment.
At present, Kotak 811 customers get access to a debit card. You can access this card by logging in to your mobile banking app. However, there is no credit card that primarily caters to 811 customers currently. If you do want a credit card, you can apply for any of Kotak Mahindra Bank’s credit cards. If you meet the eligibility criteria, you will receive the credit card.
Here’s the thing with credit cards – what may be the best card for one person, could very well be the worst for another. The only way to truly get the most out of your card is by ensuring that the rewards match your spending pattern.
Once you have decided to close your Kotak credit card account, the first thing you should do is contact the bank. You can do this by calling their customer care service, but it will be better if you visit the branch you bank with. The bank officials will check to see if all pending dues have been cleared. If not, you will have to pay the outstanding amount before the bank officials go ahead and close your card account.
It’s good practice to insist on a written acknowledgement from the bank that all your dues have been paid and that the card stands cancelled. Once you receive this, you can go ahead and cut the card in your possession. Ensure that you cut the card across the magnetic strip. Doing so will ensure that you have successfully closed your credit card.
Depending on the type of credit card you are applying for, the eligibility criteria may differ. However, in general, you need to be a resident of India, have a steady source of income (you can be salaried or self-employed), and be between 21 and 65 years of age.
There are primarily two ways to increase the credit limit on your card. These are:
While there is no app exclusively for credit cards, you can always access all credit card details by using the Kotak Mahindra Bank mobile application.
Yes, you can convert the reward points you earn on your Kotak Mahindra Bank credit card to cash. To do so, log in to your net banking account, select the credit card option, and select the redemption choice. In this case, it will be cash.
Once you apply for a new credit card or place a request for a replacement card, you should receive it within 7 business days. As soon as the card is dispatched, you will receive an SMS with the name of the courier company as well as the air waybill number (AWB). You can use this number to track where your card is and when you are likely to receive it.
All credit cards come with certain fees and charges which differ depending on the type of credit card you decide to apply for. In general, these are the fees you will have to pay:
If you are applying for a new credit card for yourself, you can do so by applying either on a credit card comparison website or on the bank’s website. If you are applying for an add-on card, though, you can apply for it using Kotak’s net banking facility.

The bank has made this possible after enhancing the library of the software by around 1.5 lakh utterances which were captured in the previous year. Due to the AI capability of the software, the fulfillment of the customer-service mode increased by more than 6 times.
‘Keya’, the chatbot is available on the website, mobile banking as well as on net banking and is currently using a huge library of queries which is received by the call-center to power the bot.
With the help of the chatbot, many Kotak Bank customers have been able to complete simple transactions such as ordering a checkbook or paying various bills just by their voice instructions.
Mr. Puneet Kapoor, Senior Executive Vice President of Kotak Bank has mentioned that the main aim of the first phase of the voice bot was to make it convenient for the customer to navigate the voice system. With this system, the customer can get the required response within 2 levels of validation instead of six. This has resulted in a decrease in time spent in the navigation queue by almost 60 seconds.
Since the launch, Keya according to reports has taken care of up to 3.5 million queries from around 1 million unique visitors with 93% accuracy according to Chief Digital Officer, Deepak Sharma.
