Anyone knows any way to stop these credit call sales call?

Kotak is on next level, they call u 10times a day for credit card.

Earlier they used to call, sir this is service call hope u are happy n shit, then come to point that kotak is giving ore approved blah blah.

Now a days, sir, need to confirm ur adress, kotak is giving u card, pls confirm..
And even if u cut call u will get sms, thank you for ur interest, we have processed ur card, just click on the link for confirmation like wtf!


M fed of trai complaints, blocking these endless numbers.

If anyone knows a way out, do share it

Same thing from RBL for me. I think culprit is PaisaBazaar and BankBazaar, since I started checking CIBIL with them, this has increased. Min 3 calls everyday and around 10 sms for loans daily.

same man 😓 Paisabaazar shares data probably and apparently overrides DND with Tnc we may overlook while installing or logging in the app.

You are not alone every single day I receive multiple calls credit cards sales person. These calls are  mostly from third party card agents who are after meeting their sales target.

Yes and even though i block them immediately since these are third party we can't even complain to banks as they say we have no control over third party promotional calls selling our products

If they start with "this is a service call", I start by replying "then make sure you only talk about service related issues and nothing about any commercial offer like card loan etc and also note that this call is getting recorded and can be used as evidence" - normally they do not continue. If they still say anything about card/loan, I just start asking in  a sarcastic tone if they are illiterate and do not understand what I said. That definitely does the trick.

If they start saying I am calling from yxz bank, I start with "I do not need credit card do not any loan and do not need any card upgrade, if you have anything else continue otherwise just disconnect". IF they still try talking about loan/card, then I switch to asking if they are illiterate.

And of course, immediately after the call, I just block the no.

They are invading our privacy. So they do not deserve our courtesy.

1. Get your mobile phone and dial 1909 

2. Once the call is connected, select your preferred language. 

3. Now, select the "Activate DND" option from the IVRS menu. 

4. Select the "Activate Full DND" option to stop most of the credit card calls. 

5. Select "5" to confirm your selection. 

6. Within 3 days, Full DND will be activated on your mobile number.

As the title says, "even on full dnd".

Dnd is just gimmicky these days.

Have you guys tried the contrarian approach here? - Tell them you want a card with atleast INR 15 lakh limit & the most premium card like Infinia, magnus, etc as LTF with the fee vouchers. Also, tell them that you should not receive any call or card blockage if dues are not paid on time. ALL these conditions (& maybe more demands if you want to add) needs to be on email from them. Only then will you allow for a CC application. If they still ask for email, ask them to send a whatsapp/sms first since they already have the number 😂😂

It will not help, as banks outsources you Mobile number to 3rd party caller.

Best way is download trai's DND app and report the spammer and then block the number.

I nearly closed 200 callers number till now

I'm also doing this. But some complaints are closed as not promotional or service call. I have the call recordings, is there any way to appeal?

Truecaller premium -> block someone manually -> message sender name. Give all the keywords and you are done.

Just tell them simply that you have the credit card or personal loan etc already from that bank. If they ask details, tell them you don't have it right away. Say thanks and cut the call. I too get a lot of these calls. I have responded in the above manner and nowadays I have stopped receiving majority of the sales calls.

I requested to delete my number from their database, that lady agreed.

In addition to above, you may follow these:

1. If you know multiple languages, answer in another one.

2. If xyz bank person calls, ask for which branch, branch code, Manager name, employee code etc. 3rd party callers will definitely fumble here and probably remove your number from list.

3. Just tell politely, that your number is in DND, and they can be prosecuted for calling. (Work with Newbie telecallers)

I always say just this, "mobile number linked with aadhaar is deactivated so can't do any ekyc/procedure that involves receiving otp on aadhaar linked number & lost physical copy of aadhaar long ago & no time to go to aadhaar centre to update mobile." After this one line, the call never last more than a few seconds & because I have been doing this for a long time my number is most likely removed from many such "prospective clients" lists. In fact I am pretty sure no such spam call will approve anything if the person is not willing to give aadhaar.

So again as daily i am bombarded with kotak calls for credit card, i firmly asked to activate dnc/dnd on my number as i don't want any card from kotak.

She was brilliant, she told me i have sent u a sms, click on it and at the end u will see option for activating dnd and i need to share the generated application number with her as she was staying online.

The message - " thank you for your interest in credit card, click link for completing your application". I disconnected.

How smart these ass are.

Pure fraudsters.

Later-

Called kotak bank by myself and asked to activate dnd, she said be on hold nd in. Next 10 sec ,she replied dnd activated.

Which clearly means all cc calls were from 3rd party.

@shraaj - mail sent by me which was given by you, indeed increased my call flows.
I was on a call from one employee for cc and in the background 3 calls are waiting to answer as i continues to disconnect one after another, and all are from kotak for cc.
I was fed up, i nearly answered 6 calls back to back. Oh man this is the level of bombardment.🤬

I am really sorry bro!

If,even after sending Proper E-mail they are not doing something then ,what can I do?

One of the Worst thing is ,Kotak Bank doesn't have SINGLE E-MAIL for Contact. You either need to be there Customer.

I don't know Why,People are madly in Love with this Pathetic Bank who doesn't have a Single E-mail (Offcourse,For Account Holders you have to Login to Net banking and then you can send them Email Internally)


Your Problem is with Third Party Agents where they have got your Number and Details. The Companies like IndiaLends,LendingBazar and Many Others are doing this kind of thing (This has Nothing to do with Kotak Mahindra Bank).

You either need to tell them manually that you don't have any Job/Business and not earning or abuse them so,that they don't make any further calls.
