💡 Why this combination is interesting

IOB's Kerala presence is anchored by historic Tamil-origin diaspora (especially Palakkad and Trivandrum where Tamil communities have lived for generations) and overlapping PSU base (ISRO, Cochin Shipyard, BPCL). Searches like "IOB home loan Kochi" and "IOB Trivandrum home loan ISRO EMI" target this niche. Federal Bank dominates Kerala home market but IOB's 8.35-8.85% rate undercuts Federal's 8.40-9.40% by 5-15 bps for ISRO/Cochin Shipyard/BPCL payrolls. Kerala's 8% stamp duty makes the calculator essential.

For Gulf NRI Malayalees, Federal still leads.
