Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

1) Whatever excess amount more and above 1.6 lakh will be regarded as interest. It is impermissible to use interest monies for any personal use. All interest monies accrued should be withdrawn and disposed of by giving it to the poor and needy without the intention of any reward.

2) Kindly forward us the terms and conditions of these schemes in order for us to analyse them.

And Allah knows best
