Kotak Junior Proposition

Early To Save. Early to Earn
Kotak Junior Account helps inculcate a saving habit in the child and helps parents build a corpus for their child's future. It is a bundled offering which includes:
- Junior Savings Account
- Guardian Savings Account - One of our Savings Account variants designed to give you a worry-free banking experience
Investment in a Recurring Deposit / Systematic Investment Plan with as little as Rs. 1,000/Rs. 2,000 (basis branch category) per month or above (minimum tenure of 12 months) for all branch locations

Recurring Deposit
A Recurring Deposit (RD) allows you to park a pre-defined amount in a long term deposit every month.
You can sign up for an RD with a simple standing instruction and save for your child's future. For e.g., If you were to invest Rs.10,000/- per month for 10 years at an interest rate of 8.25% p.a., your child would receive Rs. 18.62 lakhs on deposit maturity.* You may check out our RD calculator.
