How Kotak Mahindra Mutual Fund SIPs work
Kotak Mahindra Mutual Fund is managed by Kotak Mahindra Asset Management Company, a subsidiary of Kotak Mahindra Bank. SIPs with Kotak MF follow the standard SEBI-regulated auto-debit process: a NACH mandate is registered on your bank account, and on each SIP date the amount is debited and units are allotted at that day’s NAV. The SEBI standard formula — FV = P × ((1+r)^n − 1)/r × (1+r) — is the same for every SEBI-regulated AMC. This calculator applies that formula; the “Kotak” framing is for keyword relevance only.
