The profit from the investment project should be directed away from the Wakil to Muwakkil in the amount specified in the expected profit. In case of excess of the total profit, Wakil is entitled to receive a Wakil award in the amount of the balance after the payment of the estimated profit. At the same time Wakil, in any case, in advance at the beginning of the agreement, receives the agreed amount of Commission fee as an Agency fee.

Upon the expiration of the agreement, analyzing the results of its investments, the Bank came to the conclusion that the profit on the project amounted to 1.200.000 tenge, which exceeds the expected return. Considering the peculiarities of the Saving agreement, in case of exceeding the expected return, the Prize is provided for: the Bank sends 500,000 tenge (expected return) to the Client.


Thus, the Client receives 5.500.000 (5.000.000+500.000) tenge. The Bank also receives an income of 1.000.000 tenge, consisting of 300.000 Agency fee and 700.000 Savings premium.
