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 Sir,
    I would like to start a steam car washing unit in kerala, kannur dist., Thalassery town. Total project cost is 8 lakhs. I will get 6 lakhs from bank (the PMEGP scheme). Capital expenditure is 6 lakhs and the deposit amount of the rental is 2 lakh. due to shortage of this money I am not in a position to start this unit. I heard from suitable sources that the islamic bank will give money without interest.If u help me that way , I will repay the amount on monthly basis. Now I am in a very pathetic stage to meet both ends.

    ASWK,

    Like many other posts on this blog, I am also a loan seeker which is interest free. I cam across this URL over google, not sure this is still functioning.

    To go to specifics, I am in the iron ore and other minerals trading and have a capital requirement of 20 lakhs to 5 Crores. Needless to say there are good margin in this business, I was wondering is there a bank or a private money lender who can provide this amount on interest free terms.
    Let me know your contact details via email: arshadg123@rediffmail.com, and I will call on you.

    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.

        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.
