💡 Why this combination is interesting

Kerala is structurally Canara's South Indian heartland — Federal Bank dominates private home market, but Canara owns the PSU/government salaried + Gulf NRI segments. Searches like "Canara home loan Kochi" and "Canara Trivandrum home loan ISRO" target ISRO/Cochin Shipyard/BPCL captive base. Kerala's 8% stamp duty (highest in India alongside MP) makes the true-cost calculator critical, especially for Gulf NRI buyers who underestimate front-loaded acquisition cost.
