Bank of India's Bihar positioning.
Bank of India runs around 410 branches across Bihar, with the densest network in Patna, Muzaffarpur, Bhagalpur, Gaya and Darbhanga. The bank is one of the top three home-loan providers for Bihar government employees, Patna High Court advocates and Indian Railways East-Central staff. Ticket sizes average Rs 15 lakh because Patna outskirts and Tier-2 Bihar towns still see flats priced between Rs 16-22 lakh.
Bihar charges 6 percent stamp duty plus 2 percent registration, but offers a flat 0.4 percent rebate for women buyers, which BoI markets aggressively. On a Rs 18 lakh Patna flat, women applicants save about Rs 7,200 in stamp duty. A meaningful share of BoI Bihar borrowers are NRI remitters working in Gulf countries with families in Patna and Muzaffarpur, who use BoI's NRI Star Home Loan to buy ancestral village expansion plots or Patna apartments. The bank accepts FCNR-funded down payments and overseas salary slips attested by Indian missions.
