They charge some amount for the "Paper Or Document".
Kindly let me know if its fine to use such loan facility & also give some knowledge about "Paper charge" in banks.
Answer
Assalāmu `alaikum Warahmatullāhi Wabrakatuh,
The Rs 500 paper charge is in excess of the Rs. 13,500 of which Rs. 9,000 is a loan.
Hence it will be ribā and prohibited.
