What the published terms do not tell you

The specific profit rates for MCB Islamic Solar Energy Solution Finance are described as "Competitive profit rates" and "Competitive Takaful rates" on the bank's brand page, but the exact figures are not published. For MCB Green Ghar Finance, the markup rate is tied to "6 Month KIBOR + 3.5%," meaning the actual rate will fluctuate with KIBOR, which changes on "the Ist working day of each Jan and July of calendar year." Readers should contact the bank directly for the current KIBOR rate and precise profit/Takaful rates. The MCB Islamic product page does not provide a Key Fact Statement or a specific date for its terms, unlike the conventional product. We also could not read the State Bank's own renewable-energy scheme circular: sbp.org.pk returns HTTP 403 to automated requests, so any SBP rate quoted anywhere on this page would be second-hand.
