Central Bank of India's Bihar positioning.
Central Bank operates 520+ Bihar branches with Patna, Gaya, Muzaffarpur, Bhagalpur, and Darbhanga as primary nodes. The bank serves the Bihar government employee and small-trader segments with rates 8.50-8.90% and is the second-largest PSU in the state after SBI.
Bihar's 6% stamp duty (5.7% stamp + 0.3% registration) is moderate, making sub-30L Patna, Muzaffarpur, and Bhagalpur tickets feasible. Central Bank captures the Bihar government employee segment (Vidhan Sabha, BSEB, BSPHCL, police HQ in Patna) via state-employee payroll tie-ups at 8.50% floor. Patna's emerging professional class (doctors, lawyers, IAS-track families) drives a 40-60L ticket band that Central handles via senior-management discretion. Tier-2 Muzaffarpur, Gaya, and Bhagalpur SME trader-promoter files (rice mills, transport, retail) form 30% of state book — promoter income from ITR rather than salary slips.
