MUMBAI: Kotak Mahindra Bank has decided to cut salaries by 10% for employees earning over ₹25 lakh per year, an internal communication of the bank said.
The communication, seen by Mint said, “We have decided on a 10% reduction in cost to company (CTC) for all colleagues with a salary of more than ₹25 lakh per annum, with effect from May 2020 for FY21.
Employees earning less than ₹25 lakh per anum will not be impacted," the private sector lender said. The bank said covid-19, which has wreaked havoc on the economy, will in turn impact financial services firms like the bank.
