With the RBI capping top managements' tenure at lenders, Kotak Mahindra Bank's head Uday Kotak on Monday said his current term as the managing director and chief executive is till December 2023 and the board will take a call on succession in due course.

The RBI last week capped MD and CEOs' terms at private sector lenders at 15 years, from October 1 onwards, but has allowed the serving bank heads to complete their current appointments. Uday Kotak, who is also among the promoters of the lender, has been at the helm for over 17 years already.
