First Islamic Bank in India

by Shabbir Bhimani on September 2, 2009

Islamic Bank cannot be called a Bank in India because of RBI guidelines to provide interests to customers and in Islamic banks you do not have the option for Interests. As so called Islamic Banks currently in India do not have the status of Bank most Islamic Bank are called Financial Institutes and cannot issue cheques. For Details read Islamic Banking.

But now it looks like there is a change and we may have first Islamic Bank in India.

The first Islamic bank in the country with active involvement of the Kerala government is likely to start operations in Kochi by next year as the bank’s registration formalities are currently being fulfilled on a war footing. The Kerala industries department is actively involved in the new initiative and a high level meeting held at Kozhikode on August 12 had approved a project report prepared by Ernst & Young.

WHOAAAA….. So many comments for reaching out for an interest free loan. Interest is hurting everyone I guess.

It’s totally out of my understanding how the Islamic Bank will work that will safeguard your capital and at the same time not charge you any interest. I know most of our muslim brothers give away their interest earned on savings account, my family members do that too, but I am eager to see their business model when one comes out.

You don’t need to wait for Indian Banks to see their business models and it is already in place in many Muslim countries and working like a charm.

Shabbir Bhimani December 1, 2011 at 7:10 pm

Also it is not about hurting interest rates but the interest that is hurting so many people.

Reply

Mansoor December 1, 2011 at 9:10 pm

Ya I understand. It hurts only the people, not the interest rate. I have seen people who lost a lot due to interest rates, especially the one’s thats absurd like a personal loan. Can’t wait to see this kind of banking system in India. I am sure the big brothers will have problem with that.
