Ijarah:

The concept of Ijarah is similar to Leasing in conventional Banking. Ijarah is a contract whereby the owner (Bank) of assets transfers its benefits (usufruct) to customer for an agreed period, at an agreed consideration. In Ijarah, the corpus of leased asset remains in the ownership of the lessor (Bank) and only its usufruct is transferred to the Lessee (Customer). During the entire term of theijarah, Bank being the owner of the assets retains the title of ownership and also,bears all risks and rewards pertaining to ownership. All the risks related to usage of the assets are borne by the lessee (customer). Ijarah can be availed for financing of plant, machinery, buildings and all the other fixed assets.

Diminishing Musharaka

Diminishing Musharaka is commonly used mode of financing the fixed assets. It is a type of Musharaka where Bank and Customer jointly purchase the asset in defined ratios of ownership. Bank’s ownership in the asset is divided into a number of units and the customer periodically purchases these units from the bank over a specified period. Over time, the customer purchases all units owned by the bank and becomes the sole owner of the asset.
