Kotak Bank RD (Recurring Deposit) Rates 2025

The Kotak Recurring deposit is designed for customers to achieve their goals in their own terms. The RD scheme by Kotak gives individuals the freedom to choose a period and an amount you wish to invest every month and earn healthy returns at applicable interest rate.

A recurring deposit is an investment cum savings option for those who want to save regularly over a certain period of time and earn a higher interest rate. It is a type of term deposit which allows one to save a fixed amount of money every month systematically. If you are familiar with SIP in Mutual Funds, RD works similarly in banking. Every month, a fixed amount of money is deducted either from a savings or a current account. And, at the end of the maturity, investors are paid back their invested money with accrued interest.

A user willing to open an RD account with Kotak Bank can choose any amount and term according to your convenience.
