-Compulsory deduction shall be enforced by an order issued from SAMA to the bank at the request of the authorized entities. Upon the request, the bank shall deduct a specified amount on a monthly basis from the bank's customer account to a specific beneficiary account.
 
-Compulsory deductions and expenses are considered priority and must be carried out or deducted before any other debts. Necessary steps shall be taken by banks to ensure the execution of such action.
 
-SAMA’s deduction request for expenses or debts is to be made on the customer bank account to which salary payments are credited. The deduction shall be made promptly upon crediting such payments to the account. Necessary steps shall also be taken to ensure the execution of such action. The only exception here, however, is when SAMA’s request states that such deductions shall be made from another bank account.
