Bandhan Bank's West Bengal positioning.
Bandhan Bank operates ~1418 branches across West Bengal (largest network of any bank in the state) with deep Kolkata (Salt Lake, New Town, Park Street) plus full district coverage in North and South Bengal. Kolkata salaried at IT-SEZ and SME promoters in jute, leather, and engineering get 9.50-10.50%; affordable-housing borrowers see 11.50-13.50%. This is Bandhan's home state.
West Bengal's 6% stamp duty includes a 1% women rebate (to 5%) and a 1% pandemic-era rebate (extended in WB budget for select PIN codes through FY26), making New Town and Rajarhat first-time buyers eligible for ~4% effective duty in select pockets. Bandhan's underwriting carries an institutional advantage in WB: the bank's MFI heritage means it has 15-year on-ground field-officer data for affordable-housing borrowers in semi-urban Bengal districts, allowing approval of profiles HDFC/ICICI reject outright for documentation-light income.
