Islamic Bank cannot be called a Bank because of RBI guidelines but it looks like time has changed and Kerala may have first Islamic Bank Next year.
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.

Dear sirs,
Assalamu alaikum,
My sister’s husband expired suddenly ( last month ), while she has 3 childrens – one got married (girl) two boys one is earning and the other is studying.
She wanted to invest the money of her husband in the Bank where the interest could bring some relief for his family
As I am against this view as the interest is Haram, could we get any islamic banking solution, where he meagre amount could be invested on some business and the share could be obtained which belief Halal.
Please post your views on my mail enable her to support the family requirement.

Rethish says
It is nice to see that a different banking model is getting started in Kerala. Common man is normally benefited through interest free loans introduced by these types of banks. Islamic banks across world offer accounts similar to savings account and current account. They also offer an investment account; money deposited in this account is used for investments in sectors/industries that are supported under sharia principles. Everyone can access products and services of these banks. They normally work on the basis of profit and loss scheme (PLS). If investment done by bank in a particular sector is profitable then that profit is shared between the bank and its customers who invested money in that particular investment. It is basically apportioned based on the contract between them.
