What are the factors influencing Kotak Mahindra Bank FD rates?

Interest rates are the most critical part of fixed deposits, apart from the security it provides to depositors. These rates depend primarily on the following factors:

Age of the depositor – Individuals above the age of 60 years, i.e. senior citizens are eligible for a higher rate of interest on their deposits compared to general citizens.

Repo rate – This rate is set by the Reserve Bank of India’s Monetary Policy Committee. The apex bank provides overnight loans to the banks. The higher the repo rate, the higher are the FD rates offered by banks and vice versa.

Reverse repo rate – This is the rate at which RBI avails loans from banks. Similar to the repo rate, it is also directly proportional to FD rates.

Tenure of deposit – Kotak FD rates also vary based on the tenure for which an individual locks in their deposit.

Deposit amount – Lastly, the deposit amount also influences Kotak Bank FD rates.

How to Calculate Kotak Fixed Deposit Interest?

In order to calculate FD interest for accounts with a maturity period above 181 days, Kotak Mahindra Bank utilises the following formula:

A = P (1 + r / n) nt

A = Maturity amount

P = Principal amount

r = Rate of interest

How is TDS calculated on Kotak Mahindra Bank FD Interest?

If the interest an individual earns from all his/her deposit accounts in a particular year is equal to or more than Rs.40,000 then it is subject to 10% taxation. For senior citizens, the threshold is Rs.50,000. Typically, this taxation happens under the purview of the designated bank. However, general citizens and senior citizens can submit Form 15G and 15H respectively to prevent tax deduction at source and instead pay the tax themselves when they file their IT returns.

To submit these forms, one must, however, satisfy certain criteria. For instance,

For Form 15G – One has to be a member of HUF or a resident individual below the age of 60 years. His/her income earned must not be taxable.

For Form 15H – One has to be a resident individual or a member of HUF above 60 years of age. His/her total income generated during the particular FY must not be taxable.
