Savings & Guaranteed Plans

Kotak Life's savings and guaranteed return plans help build a retirement corpus through structured long-term saving. Kotak Guaranteed Savings Plan starts at ₹10,000 minimum premium with maturity between 70 and 75 years.

These plans suit goal-based saving where the timeline is fixed and you don't want market-timing risk. Returns are locked in at policy purchase, removing market volatility from the outcome.

Investment Plans (ULIPs)

ULIPs from Kotak Life combine market-linked investment with life cover. Kotak T.U.L.I.P is the flagship ULIP variant, with a minimum premium of ₹1,00,000 and 48-year maximum maturity. T.U.L.I.P won the Product of the Year 2024 award.

Partial Withdrawals are available after the lock-in period on select policies. ULIPs work best with a 10-year+ horizon for tax-efficient wealth creation alongside life cover.
