💡 Why this combination is interesting

West Bengal borrowers averaging 18 lakh tickets reflect predominantly tier-2 and tier-3 demand from state government staff, school teachers, and small traders. Central Bank holds an edge in Howrah and Hooghly where cooperative bank competition is weak, and pricing at RLLR plus 1.80 percent beats Bandhan Bank for salaried customers. The bank also dominates the Burdwan and Bankura agricultural belt for housing-cum-agri loans, where private banks have minimal field reach. Stamp duty pressure at 6 percent makes Bengal one of the costlier states for first-time buyers, so PMAY linkage drives volume.

Adding Bengal stamp duty of 6 percent on a 22 lakh property of Rs 1.32 lakh and registration of 1 percent or Rs 22,000 pushes total upfront cost to roughly Rs 5.94 lakh including margin money.

Does West Bengal offer any stamp duty rebate that Central Bank borrowers can use?

A buyer of a 40 lakh Salt Lake flat now pays Rs 2 lakh in stamp duty, saving Rs 40,000 versus the higher slab. Central Bank funds property value net of stamp duty.
