Special saving (pension)

 Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited, in keeping with its welfare-oriented ideals based on Shariah Principles, has developed a deposit pension scheme named “Mudaraba Special Savings (Pension) Scheme”, in order to mobilize and encourage the middle and lower middle class professional and service holders to save as per their capacity for their old age when they will normally retire from their active service life who otherwise do not like to keep and invest their savings and funds in interest bearing deposit pension schemes. Due to lack of or limited scope for savings and investment in non-interest bearing schemes, most of these individuals either consume their savings/funds or spend the same unproductive expenditures. Thus a substantial amount of Savings/funds remain out of the production cycle.

The savings/funds of these people can play a vital role in capital formation and as a source of invisible fund for generation of income and increase of wealth of the individuals and of the nation. The scheme developed by Islami Bank Bangladesh Ltd. has already been accepted cordially by the lower and middle income group of people and thus it is expected to have great prospect in mobilization of small savings and funds for deployment in income and employment generating activities and business. In view of the above the Bank has introduced “Mudaraba Special Savings (Pension) Scheme”.

Mudaraba hajj saving:

Hajj is one of the fundamental worship (Ibadah) of Islam. However, because of the prevailing socio-economic situation in the country, the people interested to perform Hajj cannot arrange the

required amount of money at a time to perform Hajj. The desire of many to perform Hajj is thus never fulfilled. Over twenty five thousand devoted Muslims from Bangladesh perform holy Hajj every year. Financial solvency and physical fitness are the pre-requisites of performing Hajj. The majority of the people, however, reach the fag end of their life in arranging the required amount of money for Hajj. Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited has, therefore, introduced “Hajj Savings Scheme” so that persons eager to perform holy Hajj may build-up savings through ‘Mudaraba Hajj Savings Account’.

Mudaraba savings bond scheme:

Savings play an important role in capital formation, income-generation and creation of employment opportunities and contribute towards the increase in wealth of the individual and nation through profitable investment.

The people generally try to save a portion of their income with a view to protecting themselves from future financial hardship and also to enhance their earnings for their own benefit and the benefit of their family and the nation as a whole. Bangladeshi wage earners living abroad and the retired service holders desire to invest their earnings and retirement benefits in safe and profitable investment schemes. Many a people, however, cannot deploy their fund in business for various reasons. The people of Bangladesh are deeply religious and committed to Islamic way of life and determined to conduct their economic activities in accordance with the tenets of Islamic Shariah. Naturally they want to avoid interest in transaction and business which is forbidden by Islam.

Islam encourages savings, which is the prerequisite for any sustainable economic development. The saying of Holy Prophet (PBUH) is that poverty leads to unbelief and therefore, people have been encouraged to save a portion of their earnings to protect themselves from future financial setback. Islam emphasizes in the cycling of surplus capital by investing such funds in productive economic activities that will pave the way for employment, development and progress.

The people of Bangladesh reluctantly invest in interest bearing schemes. The religious Muslims, however, avoid such investments and the idle funds are mostly being consumed to meet the avoidable family demands. Thus the major portion of savings remains out of the production process. Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited, has therefore, introduced the savings deposit accounts viz. Mudaraba Savings Account, Mudaraba Term Deposit Account, Mudaraba Hajj Savings Account, Mudaraba Special Notice Account and Mudaraba Special Savings (Pension) Scheme as per Islamic Shariah. Mudarabah Special Savings (Pension) Account has also been introduced recently. Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited, being encouraged by the success of the Mudaraba deposit accounts has, therefore, introduced yet another savings scheme namely “Mudaraba Savings Bond Scheme”.

FINDINGS OF THE STUDY

Everybody wants to earn a higher rate of return. Investment is the key point of earning higher rate of return. To invest money it is essential to look into the financial strength, efficiency and effectiveness of the company. Whether a project is acceptable or not, profitable of non-profitable, financially solvent or insolvent are easily determined by means of study about investment mechanism. So study about investment mechanism helps the management to plan, control, and co-ordinate and take proper decision. The growth and expansion in the areas like net profit, total income, total expenditure, total income, total assets, total fixed assets, employee, branches, deposit etc, and the banking sector has also given rise to many problems. We also measure the modes of investment of IBBL. After the analysis we found that the Bai-murabaha & hire Purchase under Sherkatul Melk was greatly contribution on investment which was more favorable for IBBL.

 Problems

Many of these problems are affecting healthy growth of the sector and eating up the potentials the economy as well. Major problems of the banking sector are as follows;

   Adequacy of capital: It is a big problem of the banking sector pertains to the inadequacy of capital. As against a capital requirement of 8 percent equal to the risk weighted assets of the banks

   Lack of adequate training facilities: This is the area, which remains most neglected since long. Very few banks pay adequate attention to develop their human resources through internal training facilities even though in public forum they attach importance to it.

   Lack of new products: The banks are still found to offer the traditional services, which are outdated in most cases in view of social and economic changes. New products are very few. Some of the banks are offering new services, which are in fact in most cases redesigned old products.

   Lack of professionalized management: It is the most important problems of the banking sector in Bangladesh. The profession does not have a code of conduct, though in general terms some dos and don’ts are there in the outdated service rules of banks.

   Lack of research and development. Though the importance of research and development is well recognized, yet it is observed that the banking sector could not develop this facility even after three decades of their existence. .

   Outdated systems and technology: Systems and procedures followed and technology used by the banking sector are found to be mostly outdated.

   Stagnant rural deposits: Deposits of the banking sector have increased satisfactorily. But it appears that contribution of rural deposits in the total deposits of the sector remains stagnant at about 20 percent since long. Despite increase in the number of rural branches over the years there is no sign of improvement. On the other hand, it is observed that resources mobilized arc being transferred to urban areas depriving rural population.

   Salary structure: Individual scale & adequate salary facilities to the employee’s selection.

Business risk

It is the most important a security risk because of that if the security can not be realized then the bank is exposed to business risk. So BR is the vital to banks in all types of risks.

Company position risk:

A company position risk is the risk when a company fails to repay the loan due to weakness of the company’s position. Company position is the major factor to disburse the loan in banking sector.

a. Performance risk:

When a company fails to perform enough to repay the loan due to weakness of external conditions of company it is called performance risk.
