Participation as a CBP member will provide the following advantages:
- COMPETITIVE DIVIDEND RETURNS.
The performance of the last 3 years of dividend payment rate by CBP is as follows :-YEAR SHARE DIVIDEND RATE iRCPS DIVIDEND RATE 2018 7.00% 6.20% 2019 5.50% 6.10% 2020 6.00% 6.70% Note : CBP dividends do not need to undergo zakat.
The mandatory Zakat contributions have fallen and it has been confirmed by the The SHARIAH COMMITTEE of CBP has confirmed that dividends received by members are not obligatory for Zakat contribution. This is because Islam does not require the zakat obligation twice from the same property and haul after CBP pays business zakat for the haul of the financial year ending each year.
If a member keeps the dividend as a savings property until the next haul is sufficient, Zakat is obliged on the member's savings on the taklif and the responsibility of the members themselves for the subsequent hauls of zakat.
