Critical decision facts

Rate, tenure, liquidity and booking conditions belong together.

A headline deposit rate is incomplete without the dated schedule, tenure band, customer category and premature-withdrawal rules.

Exact product-type evidence

Recurring deposit evidence stays in its own structure.

Specialist fields below remain source-scoped. Missing values stay missing; one banking product type is never used to manufacture facts for another.

Comparable tenure points

Rate anchors you can compare without reading a headline maximum.

Only tenure points directly represented by the reviewed bank schedule are stored. We do not interpolate a rate between published bands.

Fit & cautions

Who this record appears designed for—and what can break the fit.

Best-fit wording summarizes the published proposition. It is not individualized financial advice or an approval prediction.

Potential fit

Kotak customers who want a straightforward monthly deposit and can choose among the published tenure bands instead of chasing one headline rate.

Verify before relying
  • Senior-citizen additions are not identical across every tenure.
  • The rate table can change for new bookings.
  • Premature closure can reduce realised interest.
Maintained comparisons

Compare this product only where the pair is deliberately maintained.

Both sides keep independent review dates, exact conditions and first-party evidence. No winner score is generated.

First-party source ledger

Complete evidence set for this maintained profile.

Each source remains independent. A product page, tariff, KFS/MITC, rate schedule or programme document is not silently treated as interchangeable evidence.

Current-use rule

When the bank changes a term after the recorded review, the current agreement, tariff, KFS/MITC or effective rate table controls.
