SBI's Punjab positioning.
SBI runs 980+ Punjab branches with Chandigarh Tricity Sector 17 LHO at the centre, plus Ludhiana, Amritsar, Jalandhar, Patiala, and Mohali Phase 7. The bank serves Punjab state-government, Indian Army Western Command, BSF Punjab Frontier, Indian Air Force Halwara/Adampur, and PSEB salary books.
SBI's Punjab home-loan dominance rests on three pillars — Punjab state-government salary accounts, Indian Army Defence Salary Package (Chandimandir Command HQ), and the NRI Canada-UK corridor through Jalandhar and Hoshiarpur. The bank's 8.40% women rate matters disproportionately in Punjab because the state's women-buyer stamp duty concession (5% versus 7% for males) is India's widest gender gap, creating compounded savings. SBI also runs an active senior-citizen home-loan variant for retired Defence personnel in Chandigarh's Sector 33-35 retiree cohort.
