• Interest Rate Changes for Term Deposits in Kotak Mahindra Bank

  The rates for deposits across banks in India have seen deductions post the repo rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India.

Kotak Mahindra Bank has kept its rates on fixed deposit at more agreeable values for amounts below INR 50 lakhs. The financial institution is popular in the segment of housing finance and has lowered rates for loans, but interestingly has maintained its lucrative interest rates on fixed deposits.

  As of April 12, 2016, deposits of 12 months earn interest at a rate of 9% per annum and that is the current lowest rate on offer from Kotak Mahindra. Tenures of deposits ranging from 14 months to 36 months get a nominal increase of 0.25% and thus offer an interest rate of 9.25% per annum. The same rate is also applicable for tenures of 48 months to 120 months. The highest rate of interest offered by DHFL is currently 9.35% per annum and is applicable for deposit tenures of 40 months.
