 INTRODUCTION

 Origin of the report

This report is originated as the course requirement of BBA program, Department of Accounting of Stamford UniversityBangladesh. As practical orientation is integral part of BBA program requirement, I was sent to the Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited, At first I report to IBTRA (Islami Bank Training and Research Academy) for internship training on Islamic Banking System from January 27, 2011 to March 31, 2011, then they send me to take the real life exposure of the activities of banking financial institutions at Krishi Market Branch from 1.2.2011 to 31.3.2011. After that I submitted a report and presentation in IBTRA.

Background of the study

Any academic course of the study has a great value when it has practical application in the real life. Only a lot of theoretical knowledge will be little important unless it is applicable in the practical life. So we need proper application of our knowledge to get some benefit from our theoretical knowledge to make it more fruitful when we engage ourselves in such field to make proper use of our theoretical knowledge in our practical life, only then we come to know about the benefit of the theoretical knowledge. Such an application is made possible through internship. When theoretical knowledge is obtained from a course of study it is only the half way of the subject matter. Internship implies the full application of the methods and procedures through rich acquired knowledge of subject matter can be fruitfully applied in our daily life. Such a procedure of practical application is known as internship. The case study is titled “General Banking Operation of IBBL”. As a student of BBA this study will be more significant in my practical life. I have worked for two months at Krishi Market Branch of Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited to complete the internship program as an academic requirement.

Objective of the report

Objective of the study acts as a bridge between the starting point and the goals of the study. To illustrate the objectives properly, presented into two parts:

  1. General objective of the report :

 The general objective of the report is to complete the internship. As per requirement of BBA program, a student need to work in a business organization for two months to acquire practical knowledge about real business operations of a company.

  1. Specific objective of the report :

  • To recommend solutions of or solving the problems faced by IBBL in operating as an Islamic Bank.

Scope of the report

It will give a wide view of the different stages of operational procedure of Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited, starting from the investment application to investment disbursement and the comparison between standard and existing credit appraisal system of a Bank. Then the report covers Foreign exchange operation and General Banking as an Islamic Bank.

 Methodology

I have designed this paper as an expletory research paper. Here I have discussed the overall activity of Islami Bank Bangladesh as an Islamic Bank. I discussed the investment policy and disbursement procedure and foreign exchange operation and general banking as an Islamic bank which activities are based on Islamic Shoriah.

 Limitations of the study

Under this study have some limitation which are given below:
1.            Lack of sophisticated Knowledge: As a student in research field, I have no experience in data collection, processing, analyzing, interpreting and presenting.
2.            Time lacks: There have no available time on my hand to properly complete this study program. So I cannot able to conduct with all function within available time.
3.            Unavailability and inefficiency to interpret secondary data: From the secondary sources I have not get available relevant data. Moreover, I have no proper knowledge that to collect secondary data. 
4.            Every Company or Bank has some common strategy of secrecy. They didn’t want to provide available data, information, which are harmful for them. So I didn’t get sometimes essential data.
5.            The employees were always busy on there tremendous workload. So they couldn’t extend there cooperation properly.
6.            Finally 2 month is too short to know about the whole Banking system.

3. Historical background of islamic bank

The history of Islamic Banking could be dividing in two parts. First: When it still remained an idea, second: When it become a reality –by private initiative in some countries and by law in others. There has always been a desire to establish financial institutions to operate as per the tents of Islamic Shariah. The first attempt in this regard was made in Pakistan during 1950s as a pilot scheme, but unfortunately it didn’t succeed. It was followed by a more successful venture in the form of a local Bank in Egypt (Myt Gant Savings Bank, July, 1963). In 1969 Islamic Bank was got up Malaysia through passing an Act in parliament which is being conducted successfully today.  In 1970, King Faisal, The Government of K.S.A, called a meeting to moderate the banking of Muslim countries in accordance with the loss of Islamic Shariah. In the light of this purpose, on 18th December 1973 the decision of setting up an international Islamic Bank was taken up in the finance ministry of O.I.C, which starts its work on 20th October 1975 in Jeddah. In 1977, Faisal Islamic bank in Sudan, Kuwait Finance Bank House in Kuwait, Faisal Islamic bank in Egypt and Jordan Islamic Bank in 1978 was founded. In 1977, International Association of Islamic bank was founded to create equality among the Islamic Banks of different countries.

Islamic Bank Bangladesh Limited was incorporated on 13.03.1983 as a public Company with Limited liability under the companies Act, 1913. The Bank obtained permission to commence business from 27.03.1983.  Islamic Bank Ltd. Is the first interest free Bank in South-East Asia. The establishment of this Bank has ushered a new era in Bangladesh, the second largest Muslim country in the world. The bank is committed to help the people in Halal earnings and Halal investment. All of its activities are run as per Islamic Shariah. The Islamic Development Bank, some foreign financial institutions of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, United Arab Emirate and Jordan also came forward to establish this bank.

The total number of branches of the bank as on 31st December 1988 stood at 27. The Bank has taken up an optimality expansion program to open a large number of branches during the year 1989 in urban and rural areas and it is expected that with the implementation of the expansion program almost all important commercial places will come under the operational activities of the Bank.

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”.

Amount of deposit installments 

Accounts under this scheme may be opened for monthly deposits of Tk. 100/-, Tk. 200/-, Tk. 300/-, Tk. 400/-, Tk. 500/-, Tk. 1000/-, Tk. 1500/-, Tk. 2500/- and Tk. 5000/- only. The deposit will be received on Mudaraba Principle.

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’.

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

Business risk (BR) is that risk business fails to generate sufficient cash to repay the loan. 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. BR can be further subdivided on two sectors like industry risk (IR) and Company Risk (CR).

 A (1) Industry risk:

On account of some external factors, a business may fail to repay the loan in due time. This type of risk is called industry risk. IR has two components i.e. supplies risk and sales risk.

A (1) a. Supplies risk:

Supplies risk is the risk of failure due to disruption in the supply of inputs A (1) b. Sales Risk:

Sales risk is the risk of failure due to disruption to sales. This type of risk is the part of industry risk.

Company risk:

Company risk is the risk when the company fails to repay the loan due to internal reasons. It comprises two risks such as company position risk and management risk.

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.

b. Resilience risk:

It is the risk of failure due to lack of resilience to unexpected external conditions.

Management risk:

When the company’s management fails to exploit effectively the company’s position is called management risk. It is divided into two parts such as management competence risk and management integrity risk.

a. Management competence risk:

When company management fails due to incompetence of management it is called management competence risk.

b. Management integrity risk:

It is the risk of failure due to lack of management integrity.

Conclusion

The newly established IBBL was doing well in terms of deposits, investment, total income, total assets, total equity, total assets, total employees and expansion of no. of branches in the different areas at the district level in Bangladesh during 1996-2007. Also Bai-murabaha & hire Purchase under Sherkatul Melk was the great contribution of investment for IBBL. But Mudaraba & Musaraka investment should be increased in future, while their position was lower. For this reason the gradual development and expansions of bank product of IBBL have been able to win and attract good response among the financial circles of Bangladesh about the viability of IBBL as an Islamic Bank. IBBL has created the positive change in business growth & trading growth including import & export earnings. Not only has that it also changed the traditional banking activities other than that traditional bank. Practically when all the banks are facing the different problems in the advances & loan sector, then lending risk analysis has been prescribed as a significant package program to avoid the various risks in the fund management of the commercial banks in Bangladesh. Other then IBBL contribute economic growth increased day by day in Bangladesh. So, IBBL does not face any kind of economic problem. Although it has created vast effect on economic & development of economy in Bangladesh.
