- Tap into your inner superhero and visit your nearest branch: Find your nearest Kotak Retail Assets branch and prepare to vanquish any loan-related confusion with the help of a friendly branch representative.
Remember: This initial contact is crucial, as it triggers a three-day notice period. So, grab a coffee, channel your inner zen master, and wait patiently.
