Pakistan’s first riba-free car financing: Meezan car ijarah

[dropcap]C[/dropcap]ar Ijarah is Meezan Bank’s car financing product and is Pakistan’s first interest-free car financing. It is based on the Islamic financing mode of Ijarah (leasing). This product is ideal for individuals who want to get interest-free financing for acquiring a car.

Car Ijarah works through a car rental agreement, under which the Bank purchases the car and rents it out to the customer for a period of 1 to 7 years, agreed at the time of the contract.

Upon completion of the Ijarah period, the vehicle will be sold at a token amount or gifted to the customer.

RESIDUAL VALUE IJARAH (FOR NEW CARS ONLY)

In a regular Ijarah model, the customer does not have to pay any money to the Bank for acquiring the car upon completion of the Ijarah period.

In the Residual Value Ijarah model, the monthly rentals are significantly lower than the regular Ijarah model because here the customer agrees to pay a certain sum to the Bank for acquiring the car upon completion of the Ijarah period.

The customer also has the option that instead of paying the Bank and acquiring the car upon completion of the Ijarah period, he can simply return the car to the Bank.

This model enables the customer to take a car on significantly reduced rental. Customer can also, depending on his monthly rental payment ability, get a much higher-value car than he can under the regular Ijarah model.
