What is this SBI Business Scheme?

The State Bank has over 28,000 branches across India. But do you know that the SBI doesn't own all these properties as the majority of it remain either leased or rented? While the SBI keeps looking for appropriate locations to serve its customers more effectively, sometimes it's required to shift from one location to another as well. So, whenever the SBI requires a new location on lease/rent, it invites tenders from property owners. The property owners are required to submit technical as well as price bids for their property to the bank in separate sealed covers. If the technical bid is cleared, then the price bid is opened and the lowest bidder of the suitable property is contacted by the bank for leasing the property. 

Rental Income from leasing property to the SBI

According to NoBrokers and various other websites, the rental yield from a property varies from location to location and on the size of the property. The average per month rent paid by the bank varies between Rs 20,000 to Rs 6 lakh in urban areas as and Rs 5,000 to Rs 40,000 in rural areas. The rental value may vary. 

Rental Tenure as desired by the SBI

As per the bid notice seen on the SBI website, the lease period varies between 5 years to 15 years at first. The same can be renewed later depending upon the mutual consent between the bank and the property owner. However, be mindful that the SBI does not pay rent for the first 30 days or 45 days as it carries out renovation/fitment work after the premise is handed over to it. It takes around 30-45 days in completing the interior furnishing work by the bank.

Facilities Desired by the SBI

As per the bid notice, some of the desired specifications of the property are sufficient parking, property on the ground floor, 24 hours water facility, generator power back-up, electricity connection, ready for possession/occupation and premises with more than 10 ft frontage.
