Introduction:
It has long been recognized that credit is an important tool in increasing productivity and thereby increasing the income of borrower. Adequate flow of credit can remove the financial constrains of the borrower. There has been phenomenal growth in the flow of credit after liberation due to governments desire to increase productivity in the country. All the credit institutions were geared up thorough a dynamic credit policy to disburse both short-term credit and long-term credit. As a result the flow of annual credit has increased significantly. As the volume of loan default increased substantially over the years, the percentage of loan default increased gradually. Although loan is one of the major assets of the banking sector, it becomes a liability when the loan is not repaid. Since the late 70s the whole banking sector of Bangladesh is being haunted by the specter of problem loans.
A great bulk of problem loans and their ever deepening thrust on Bank credit has brought a gloomy situation in the cost of fund. The impact of such loan in banking arena hinders the flourishing of banking business. Default culture has started in Bangladesh mainly after the nationalization o banks. However, it was enhanced by the availability of hue amount of credit in the name of developing private and industrial sector. From a statistic of Government it is seen that investment Board did not find may existence of 4422 industrial units amongst he sanctioned 7531 units during the years 1985 to 1990. There happened interesting events in the name of industrial credit. Valuation certificates were managed hundred times over the collateral security. Industry set-up was shown as sick industry to get additional loan and relieve from interest.
Despite various Acts, Ordinances as well as various circulars issued by Bangladesh Bank from time to time and special instructions by individual Banks, the striving for realization of such credits proved discouraging.
The Bank of Bangladesh Small industries and commerce (SOCIAL INVESTMENT BANK LIMITED) Bank Limited, which was established to promote the development of Small-scale industries in Bangladesh, is also prone to such disappointing features of problem loans.

Islamic Voluntary Sector :
In the voluntary sector SIBL has also introduced Cash Waqf Certificate, a new product for the first time in the history of banking.
Cash Waqf:
Waqf is an Arabic word, the plural of which is Awqaf. It is meant for permanent donation/ endowment of fixed assets made by the effluent and rich people to be used for the welfare of the mankind for obtaining the spiritual benefit and satisfaction/blessing of Almighty Allah. The waqf properties are converted into income generating units and the income so derived is utilised as per instruction of the Waqif (the persons who made the Waqf) or on the basis of Islamic Shariah. Many of our ancestors made waqf of their valuable properties for the welfare of the mankind by establishing mosque, madrasha, eidgah, orphanage, graveyard etc. for spiritual attainment.
The term Cash Waqf may appear to be new to us. Waqf in the form of cash is called Cash Waqf. Cash Waqf provides a unique opportunity for making investment in different religious, educational and social services. Savings made from earning by the well-off and the rich people of the society is utilised in an organised manner in Cash Waqf. Income earned from such funds will be spent for different purposes like the purposes of the Waqf properties. The person who made waqf is called Waqif and to whom (persons or institutions) the waqf is made is called beneficiary.
The purpose of making Cash Waqf is welfare of mankind and society, which is considered as Hakkul Ebad, which paves the way for eternal peace & happiness. SIBL has brought this opportunity by introducing Cash Waqf Scheme for the first time in the history of banking.
The bank provides the following benefits for Cash Waqf Scheme:
Empowering Multigenerational Family Heritage.
Developing social capital market under Voluntary Banking Sector.
Commemorating self, alive or deceased parents, children and ancestors and thus obtaining social actualisation and spiritual attainment.
Providing opportunity for doing welfare to the mankind.
Helping in building a caring society.
By opening a Cash Waqf Deposit A/C someone can get an opportunity to do welfare to the mankind through Sadak-e-Jariah. Charity is highly esteemed in Islam. So SIBL urges to all religious & effluent persons of the society to come forward to mobilise Cash Waqf Deposit so that the profit may be utilised for the well being of mankind. Lastly, as a scheduled bank, SIBL guarantees the proper management of Cash Waqf Fund & ensures proper distribution of its profit.
* The amount in Cash Waqf Account is a perpetual deposit (never be withdrawn)
To the best of our knowledge, SIBL is the only commercial bank in the country, which operates on the basis of integrated three-sector model: Formal, Non-formal and Voluntary sectors of the economy. This is the only bank in the country, which starts with the very phrase, ‘Targeting poverty’, while stating its objects in Memorandum of Association for achieving a goal of participatory economy for a caring society.
May Almighty Allah allow us to work together for turning Bangladesh into a model caring society.

IBC/OBC:
By OBC, we mean that those cheques drawn on other banks which are not within the same clearing house. Officer gives OBC seal on this type of cheques and later sends a letter to the manager of the branch of the some Bank
The word Bank comes from Latin words Banco, Bancus, Banke, Bangk and Banca. Bank is a financial institution act as an intermediary that receive deposits for savers at a lower interest rate and lend money to investors at a higher interest rate. Bank located in the branch on which cheque has been drawn. After collection of that bill branch advises the concerned branch in which cheques has been presented to credit the customer account through Inter Branch Credit Advice (IBCA).
In absence of the branch of the same bank, officer sends letter to manager of the bank on which the cheques is drawn. That bank will send pay order in the name of the branch. This is the procedure of OBC mechanism.
Actually OBC comes from the out side bank’s branch, or inter branches. Suppose AGRANI Bank, Jatrabari Branch sent a Cheque, which no: 012536, Tk. 5,00,000/- to Social Investment Bank Limited against AGRANI Bank Motijheel Corp. Branch. So this cheque could be an OBC. Now what Social Investment Bank Limited has to do? SIBL tries to collect this cheque through Bangladesh Bank Clearing House, and credited clients account.
OBC Collection Process:
Create a Voucher against OBC: S/D A/C OBC Tk. 5,00,000/-
.10% Cut off as Commission on OBC Tk. 500
15% Cut off as Vat on Others Tk. 75
Tk. 20/- Cut off as Postage Recovery Tk. 20
Total Tk. 595/-
In this condition SIBL got the cheque amount of Tk. 5,00,000/-, but after cut off the commission, vat and postage recovery SIBL will be credited the amount Tk. (5,00,000 – 595)= Tk. 4,99,405/- in party account.
Bangladesh Bank Circulation about OBC:
Bangladesh Bank has circulated some things about OBC. These are given below:
If the cheque amount will be under Tk. 1,00,000/- then bank’s OBC commission will be charged at .15%.
If the cheque amount will be above Tk. 1,00,000/- to Tk. 5,00,000/- then Bank’s OBC commission will be charged at .10%.
If the cheque amount will be above Tk. 5,00,000/- then Bank’s OBC commission will be charged at .5%.
Against the OBC the Government Tax will be realized on 15% on Commission Amount.
Postage Recovery will be realized Tk. 20/- for each OBC.
