BankIslami Personal, Gold & Solar Finance
Why the Islami bank loan system isn't a loan at all, and what each of BankIslami's consumer financing products actually costs.
- Shariah-Compliant
- Secured, Unsecured, Gold & Solar
BankIslami is prohibited from charging interest (riba), so what functions as a personal loan elsewhere is offered as Islamic Personal Finance, split into two products: Islamic Secured Personal Finance and Islamic Unsecured Personal Finance, each with its own processing fee.
Processing Fees by Product (Jul–Dec 2026)
| Product | Processing Fee |
|---|---|
| Islamic Secured Personal Finance | Rs. 10,000 (non-refundable) |
| Islamic Unsecured Personal Finance | Rs. 8,750 (non-refundable) |
| Gold Based Financing, up to Rs. 2M | Rs. 5,000 |
| Gold Based Financing, up to Rs. 3M | Rs. 10,000 |
| Gold Based Financing, up to Rs. 4M | Rs. 15,000 |
| Gold Based Financing, above Rs. 4M | Rs. 20,000 |
| Solar Finance | Rs. 5,000 (upfront) |
All processing fees are non-refundable and charged upfront regardless of approval, per BankIslami's official Schedule of Bank Charges, 1st July to 31st December 2026.
How Repayment Actually Works
Secured Personal Finance is structured as a Diminishing Musharakah, the same joint-ownership model used in AutoFinance and MUSKUN; paying it off early within the facility costs 5% of the outstanding Musharakah units. Unsecured Personal Finance and Gold Based Financing generally use a Murabaha structure instead: a disclosed, pre-agreed profit margin fixed at disbursement and repaid in fixed instalments, so the total repayment is known upfront rather than floating with a benchmark rate.
Personal Finance Calculator
BankIslami doesn't publish a flat profit rate — it's disclosed to you individually when you apply, based on the product, amount and your risk profile. Enter the rate BankIslami actually quotes you (or a rate you're comparing against) to see the estimated fixed instalment under a Murabaha-style structure. This is an illustrative estimate only — not an official BankIslami quotation.

Solar Finance
BankIslami also finances solar installations as a standalone consumer product, alongside Takaful coverage for the solar equipment, legal documentation, and a Secured Transaction Registry (STR) fee of Rs. 1,000. Valuation charges apply if required. Working women get a reduced profit rate and a 25% discount on the Gold Financing and Unsecured Personal Finance processing fees under Mashal.
Also Available: Agri-Financing
Separately, BankIslami runs dedicated Agri-Financing for tractors and farm equipment (Rs. 15,000 processing fee per tractor) and other farm/non-farm needs (tiered from Rs. 2,500 up to Rs. 25,000 by facility size), plus a Prime Minister Youth & Agriculture Loan Scheme channel with a nominal Rs. 100 processing fee.
