Who the Kotak Privy League Signature is for
Kotak Privy League tier customers (AUM ₹25L+ in Kotak Group). Not available as a standalone product. Evaluate as part of overall Privy value proposition, not as a card-alone decision.
Final verdict
An excellent benefits bundle if you already qualify for Privy League. Not a reason by itself to move AUM into Kotak — but if you're there, claim the card.
