💡 Why this combination is interesting

Kerala's 8% stamp duty is the highest in this cohort, so HDFC's edge in the state isn't total-cost — it's NRI document acceptance and InfoPark/Technopark corporate desks. The bank's NRI home-loan vertical accepts UAE/Saudi/Oman salary docs digitally and disburses against Kerala properties without local guarantor — a direct attack on Federal Bank's Gulf-corridor moat. For resident IT salaried borrowers at TCS Kochi, UST, and Allianz Trivandrum, HDFC runs pre-approved 8.55% offers up to 75 lakh, materially undercutting Federal's posted rates.

Does HDFC fund Kerala properties bought by Gulf-based NRIs in joint name with resident spouse?
