Bank of Baroda's Punjab positioning.
BoB operates 485+ Punjab branches with Ludhiana Pakhowal Road Zonal Office, Amritsar Mall Road, Jalandhar Civil Lines, Chandigarh Sector 17, and Patiala anchoring. The bank competes with PNB (Punjab home-state PSU) for state-government and central-PSU salary accounts and targets the Ludhiana hosiery and Amritsar trader SME segments.
BoB's Punjab strategy is to capture the trader SME and self-employed business-owner segment in Ludhiana, Amritsar, and Jalandhar that PNB underserves on stated-income products. The bank's Amritsar Mall Road branch handles cross-border trader cohorts (Wagah corridor) and the Jalandhar NRI Canada-UK remittance segment. Punjab's 7% stamp duty with 5% women rate (India's widest 2% gender gap) plus BoB's 8.45% women rate compounds to among the lowest-cost female-applicant Ludhiana and Amritsar purchases at 35-50 lakh tickets.
