Federal Bank in Bihar is the thinnest presence among the four banks here — but a focused Kerala-diaspora + emerging Bihari Gulf NRI play. AIIMS Patna alone employs ~150 Kerala-origin doctors/residents; East Central Railway HQ at Hajipur concentrates further. Searches like "Federal Bank home loan Patna" target this niche. Bihar's 6% stamp duty (5.7% female) is moderate. Bihari Gulf NRI segment is small but growing — Federal's Gulf branch network advantage applies equally.
