Bank of Khyber Raast Raast Car Finance (Ijarah or Diminishing Musharakah)
Islamic Car Financing in Gilgit-Baltistan
The only dual-structure Islamic car financing among Pakistan's windows: the customer chooses bank-owned Ijarah (30% security deposit, bank carries asset risk) or Diminishing Musharakah (30% minimum equity, customer buys out the bank's share), a fiqh-preference option no other window in this build offers. Both structures are priced at 1-year KIBOR plus a minimum 2.0% spread - the segment's lowest published spread - with the actual margin set by the customer's internal risk rating, over tenures of 1-5 years for local vehicles up to 1000cc (3 years above). It sits under Bank of Khyber's four-scholar board with a published fatwa, reserve policies and negative list, amid the KP government bank's ongoing full conversion to an Islamic bank. Fees and Takaful terms live in the Islamic Schedule of Charges rather than the product page.
Raast's car offer is quietly the most consumer-respecting in the segment: the lowest published minimum spread, and - uniquely - the choice between a true lease and a co-ownership buyout, which is the difference between the bank carrying asset risk and you carrying it. Most buyers will choose on economics (DM usually suits those certain to keep the car; Ijarah suits those who value the bank's ownership obligations), and BOK is the one place you can make that choice explicitly. The usual BOK opacities apply - risk-rated spreads, fees off-page - but the structural offer itself is the best in the build.
Pros
- Customer chooses the structure - Ijarah or Diminishing Musharakah - a fiqh-preference option no other window in this build offers
- Same market-lowest published pricing as BOK's home product: 1Y KIBOR + minimum 2.0%
- 30% deposit/equity requirement is standard, not inflated, and applies equally to both structures
- Backed by BOK's published fatwa, reserve policies, and negative list, amid full-bank Islamic conversion
Cons
- Actual spread above the 2.0% minimum depends on an undisclosed internal risk rating
- Local-manufacture wording implies imported vehicles are excluded, but the exclusion is never stated explicitly
- Processing fees and Takaful terms live in the Schedule of Charges, not the product pages

Bank of Khyber Raast in Gilgit-Baltistan
Bank of Khyber Raast offers Islamic car financing relevant to Gilgit-Baltistan residents using a ijarah structure. Unlike a conventional car loan, the bank holds or shares ownership of the vehicle and earns rent or profit on that ownership rather than interest. The minimum deposit is 30% (security deposit under Ijarah; minimum equity under DM). Bank of Khyber Raast operates across Pakistan, so Gilgit-Baltistan residents have full access to this product.
Shariah Compliance & Oversight
Approved by BOK's four-member Shariah Board chaired by Mufti Muhammad Zahid, with AAOIFI CSAA-certified Mufti Muhammad Arif Khan and Resident Member Qazi Abdul Samad (with the bank since 2006).

Why It's Halal
BOK is the only bank in this build that offers its Islamic car financing in both classical structures and lets the customer choose: Raast Car Ijarah (the bank owns the vehicle and leases it - 'the corpus of leased commodity remains in the ownership of the lessor and only its usufruct is transferred') with a 30% security deposit, or Raast Car Diminishing Musharakah (joint ownership with minimum 30% customer equity and progressive unit purchase). Offering both side-by-side is more than a curiosity - the structures allocate asset risk differently (the bank carries more under Ijarah), and letting customers pick their fiqh preference is a transparency of its own. Both are priced identically at 1-year KIBOR plus a minimum 2.0% spread, the same market-lowest published minimum as BOK's home product, across 1–5 year tenures (capped at 3 years above 1000cc, local manufacture). The caveats mirror the home product: actual spreads depend on undisclosed risk ratings, processing fees sit in the Schedule of Charges, and the local-manufacture restriction implies imported vehicles are excluded without saying so explicitly.
