  • During the days of our Prophet (S.W) the caravan used to get interest based loans for purchasing the commodities.After prohibition of interest they were allowed to do Salam.

Purpose of Salam


  • To meet the needs of small farmers who need money to grow their crops and feed their family up to the time of harvest.
  • To meet the need of working capital.
  • To meet the need of traders for import and export business.
  • If the client belongs to agricultural sector then Salam can be used.

  • Price is in cash but the supply of goods is deferred.
  • Farmer can sell their crops to bank in advance.
  • After receiving their cash,farmer can easily undertake their work.
  • This is beneficial for the farmer as he receives the price in advance and for the bank as well because the Salam price is lower then the spot price.

Conditions of Salam

  2. Only those goods can be sold through Salam in which quantity and quality can be exactly specified e.g. precious stone cannot be sold on the basis of Salam because each stone is differ in size,weight,quality and their exact specification is not possible.

Salam cannot be effected on a particular commodity or on a product of particular field or farm e.g . supply of wheat of a particular field or the fruit of a particular tree since there is a possibility that the crop is destroyed before delivery and given such possibility,the delivery remains uncertain.
  6. The exact date and place of delivery must be specified in the contract.
  7. Salam cannot be effected in respect of things which must be delivered at spot e.g. Salam b/w wheat and barley.

  9. There should be actual delivery of commodity.

Risk involvement and mitigation in Murabaha Financing

Murabaha is a sale agreement where an islamic economic group (IFI) sells goods, commodities or belongings to a consumer on deferred fee basis.
Sharia requires an IFI to first acquire the name and possession to the goods/assets earlier than moving into murabaha with its client. This is surely because one cannot promote some thing which it does not own.
The IFI's full legal ownership and possession over the goods or belongings is accordingly a pre-requisite for stepping into a murabaha transaction with a customer.
The ownership to the murabaha items or belongings will be bodily or constructive as well. Through positive I suggest through a trustee. As an instance, in import of goods by means of deliver, the industrial bill is taken into consideration the identify report to the goods whereas the bill of lading (issued with the aid of the shipping enterprise) is the document for positive possession.
That is due to the fact the delivery organisation which, Owns the vessel is sporting the products for the importer inside the capability of its trustee, thereby establishing constructive ownership to the products by means of the importer.
As such, a murabaha transaction for the imported goods can not take vicinity unless the ifi establishes the letter of credit in its very own call as customer. This differentiates an IFI from
A conventional bank which establishes the letters of credit in consumer's call.
Once the name and possession to the products or assets is with the IFI, it is able to sell the same to the consumer by using way of murabaha at an agreed price and fee terms.
The murabaha sale rate will include IFI's profit agreed to by using the patron.
The IFI components with the title and possession to the goods or assets in favour of the patron at the time of entering into a murabaha transaction whereas the payment of the purchase charge with the aid of it to the IFI can be made in future.
Whilst assessing the risks an IFI encounters in a murabaha transaction, the primary thing which comes into thoughts is what recourse does it have on the murabaha items or property in case of default with the aid of the purchaser in making timely payment to the IFI.
In conventional phrases and as described by means of basel ii, you may term it as the credit score risk however due to the fact that there's no room for credit in sharia, we'd permit ourselves to term it as default threat.
Earlier than discussing the mitigation to the default threat in murabaha, it's far essential to notice that not like traditional banks where any default in well timed payment of LATR or any other debt at the purchaser is greeted with 3 layers of interest normal, compound and penal, an IFI is barred by way of the sharia to enhance its murabaha amount even by means of a penny in case of default through the customer.
The cause for such restrict is that murabaha is not a transaction of loan with interest but a hard and fast fee sale agreement which can not be altered even supposing the customer fails to accomplish its financial duty towards the vendor.

Calculation of Credit Card Interest on daily bases

Calculation of Credit Card interest can be defined in this way if you charge your Credit Card to buy a cellphone Rs 20000/= and your credit card limit is Rs 250000/= then your limit remain Rs 230000/= now outstanding charged amount is Rs 20000/= here if your APR (Annual percentage rate) is for example 22% and you have to pay for 30 days then credit card interest calculation can be defined as below.

APR                                                           22%
   
Credit Card Limit                                Rs 250000

Less:Charged Amount                         Rs 20000

Remaining Limit                                 Rs 230000

Now you have to charge interest on Credit Card charged amount for 30 days.

Charged amount  multiply number of days spend.

                                                       Rs 20000   x   30 days =    Rs 600000

now calculate first day charged amount divide Rs 600000 by 30.

                                                        Rs 600000   /   30  =          Rs 20000

APR /number of days a year                     22%  / 365   =          0.06027397%

                                                      0.6027397%   x   30 =          18.082191%


now multiply charged amount to monthly interest rate.

                                             Rs 20000   x 18.082191% =         Rs 3616.4382 per month

this is the calculation of  Credit Card Interest.
