Concept & Activities
SEYAD SHARIAT FINANCE LIMITED is the first corporate Financial institution functioning as per Islamic Economic System in Tamil Nadu.

Islamic Banks are common in the Middle East and have spread their wings right from London in the West to Philippines in the East. Islamic countries like Iran and Sudan require their bankers to do all of their business on Islamic guidelines.

The main principle of Islamic Banking is pooling of resources together and distribution of the same on various useful activities like leasing, trading and other businesses which do not have profit motive out of interest earnings. In Malaysia such types of Islamic banks are also in existence.

Rapid growth in the industry has prompted Citi Bank and other major international banks to open Islamic subsidiaries.
