RBL Bank's Karnataka positioning.
RBL Bank runs ~52 branches across Karnataka with the highest density in Bengaluru ORR (Marathahalli, Sarjapur, Whitefield) targeting product-company IT salaried and SaaS founder segments. Pricing for Bengaluru IT salaried at MNCs starts at 8.85% with 100% online income verification, while Karnataka SME promoters in Peenya/Hosur Road industrial belts see 9.10-9.40%. RBL has materially undercut Axis on self-employed Bengaluru pricing through FY25.
Karnataka stamp duty at 5.0% is among the lowest in metro states, but BBMP-area Bengaluru properties carry an extra 1% cess plus 0.5% surcharge, taking effective duty to 6.5% inside city limits. RBL underwrites Bengaluru product-company RSU income at 60% haircut against vesting schedule (not just vested portion), which is more aggressive than Kotak or Axis who only count cliff-vested stock. For Whitefield and Sarjapur new launches, RBL has pre-approved project lists with 10-day disbursal SLAs once OC is in hand.
