First-party evidencePublished researchReviewed September 10, 2026Active
Current five-year rate evidenceKotak’s current domestic/NRO/NRE callable rate table is effective 10 June 2026; the five-years-and-above-to-10-years band is 6.25% p.a. general and 6.75% p.a. for eligible resident senior citizens.
Qualifying amount / lock-inMinimum ₹100 and maximum ₹1.5 lakh for the tax-saving investment; the product page describes the tax-saver as a five-year fixed tenure, while a support article can expose a 60-to-120-month booking range. The live booking terms control.

Tax-law / maturity conditionThe exact five-year tax-saver uses current Kotak deposit pricing but remains a locked tax-saving structure rather than an ordinary callable FD.

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

Fixed 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.

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

Eligible Kotak customers who want a low-entry tax-saving deposit and can hold for the full five-year lock-in.

Verify before relying
  • The deduction is part of the aggregate ₹1.5 lakh Section 123 / Schedule XV framework and is not available under the new concessional tax regime under Section 202; individual tax circumstances can differ.
  • From 1 April 2026, current tax-year references should use Section 123 read with Schedule XV of the Income-tax Act, 2025; some bank product copy still uses the legacy Section 80C label.
  • Kotak’s main tax-saver page says fixed five years while its support page can show 60–120 months; the live booking receipt should control maturity instructions.
  • Interest earned is taxable.
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.
