💡 Why this combination is interesting

Bihar is PNB's structural home market after Punjab — the bank's pre-merger combined network with United Bank gave it dense Bihar penetration matching SBI in select Patna, Muzaffarpur, and Bhagalpur districts. PNB's 8.40% women rate matches SBI, and Bihar's 6% stamp duty with 0.3% women concession is moderate. The bank's structural advantage is the Bihar state-government and BPSC salary-account tie-up, plus East Central Railway Hajipur HQ corporate desks. PNB is the default lender for the Patna nascent IT cohort (HCL Patna, AIIMS Patna) outside SBI.
