- A break from tracking interest-rate reviews and worrying about their possible impact on EMIs
- A rate lock of up to 65 months to help customers plan household and life expenses
- More room to plan as income, priorities and household expenses change over time
- Available at a price comparable to a floating-rate home loan with no separate premium
Mumbai, 10th August 2026: Buying a home is only the beginning of a customer’s financial journey. In the years that follow, families often manage interiors, education, savings and everyday expenses alongside the monthly EMI. Kotak Mahindra Bank today announced the launch of its Hybrid Home Loan, enabling customers to lock their home loan rate for 39, 52 or 65 months and plan these important early years with greater visibility.
Nakul Saxena, Head – Mortgages, Kotak Mahindra Bank, said, “A home loan can span decades and move through several interest-rate cycles. For many borrowers, every rate review raises the question of how the next change may affect their EMI or household budget. Families are also balancing important life expenses as income, priorities and financial commitments change over time. By allowing customers to lock their rate for up to 65 months, the Kotak Hybrid Home Loan creates a meaningful planning cushion during the early years of home ownership.”
How It Works
Customers can choose a fixed-rate period of 39, 52 or 65 months, during which their interest rate and EMI remain unchanged even if the Repo Rate rises. This gives them a defined window in which to plan household and life expenses. After the selected period, the loan automatically moves to a floating-rate structure linked to the Repo Rate plus a predefined spread disclosed at sanction.
The product is available as a Home Loan and Loan Against Property at a price comparable to the Bank’s floating-rate home loans, with no separate premium for choosing the hybrid structure.
