Bank of India's Punjab positioning.
Bank of India runs roughly 195 branches across Punjab, with strong presence in Ludhiana, Amritsar, Jalandhar, Patiala and Mohali. The bank competes with PNB and SBI for Punjab government salary accounts and NRI-funded property purchases. Ludhiana cycle-industry families and Jalandhar sports-goods exporters form the bulk of self-employed BoI borrowers buying Rs 35-50 lakh independent houses.
Punjab charges 7 percent stamp duty with a 1 percent women-buyer concession, but adds 1 percent municipal tax in Ludhiana and Amritsar municipal limits. Bank of India's NRI Star Home Loan is heavily used by Canada-based and UK-based Punjabi families purchasing GMADA Mohali and Amritsar holy-city zone properties. The bank accepts power-of-attorney holder relatives for site visits and document signing, with NRI loan tenure capped at 15 years. A typical NRI ticket is Rs 28-40 lakh, with 25 percent down payment from FCNR remittances.
