Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

In the enquired situation, if the money in the account is more than 20 lakh and the excess amount is equivalent to the minimum nisaab of zakat or more than that, then zakat will be compulsory on the excess amount if one does not have other debts encompassing the excess amount.[i]

And Allah Ta`ala Knows Best.

[i]ومن كان عليه دين يحيط بماله فلا زكاة عليه ” وقال الشافعي رحمه الله تجب لتحقق السبب وهو ملك نصاب تام ولنا أنه مشغول بحاجته الأصلية فاعتبر معدوما كظماء المستحق بالعطش وثياب البذلة والمهنة ” وإن كان ماله أكثر من دينه زكى الفاضل إذا بلغ نصابا ” لفراغه عن الحاجة

ومديون للعبد بقدر دينه فيزكي الزائد إن بلغ نصابا…فلا زكاة على مكاتب
