Islamic Banking
Islami Banking Activities
Besides conventional banking, Jamuna Bank Limited is carrying Islami Banking activities based on Islami
Shaiah principles. The first Islami Banking branch of the Bank opened on October 25, 2003 at Nayabazar
in Dhaka. Afterwards it’s second branch opened on November 27, 2004 at Jubilee Road in Chittagong.
Jamuna Bank Limited is committed to conduct business of it’s Islami Banking branches strictly complying
Shariah requirements. To achieve this goal a Shariah Supervisory Committee has been constituted with
renowned Islami scholars of the country and senior banker having Islami Banking experiences in depth
knowledge of conventional and Islami Banking. All activities of Islami Banking branches are carried out
under the guidance of this Committee. A separate division has also been created at Head Office.
Mode of Deposits
i) Al-Wadeeah principle.
ii) Mudaraba principle.
Al-Wadeeah:
Fund which is deposited with Bank by the depositors with clear permission to utilize /invest the same is
called Al-Wadeeah. Islami Banking branches receive deposits in Current Accounts on the basis of this Al-
Wadeeah Principle. Islami Banking branches obtain permission from the Al- Wadeeah depositors to
utilise the Funds at its own responsibility and the depositors would not share any profit or loss
earned/incurred out of using of this funds by the bank. The bank have to pay back the deposits received
on the principle of Al-Wadeeah on demand of the holders. The depositors have to pay govt. taxes and
other charges, if any.
Mudaraba:
Mudaraba is a partnership of labour and capital, where one partner provides full capital and the other
one manages the business. The capital provider is called Sahib-Al-Maal and the user of the capital is
called Mudarib. As per Shariah principles, the Mudarib will conduct the business independently following
Shariah principles. The Sahib-Al-Maal may provide advices, if he deems fit but he can not impose any
decision over the Mudarib. Profit, if any, is divisible between the Sahib-Al-Maal and the Mudarib at a
predetermined ratio, while loss, if any, is borne by the Sahib-Al-Maal. Mudarib can not avail of any
salary or remuneration against his labour as a manager or conductor of the enterprise/business. The
deposits, received by Islami Banking branches under this principle are called Mudaraba Deposits. Here,
the depositors are called Sahib-Al-Maal and the bank is called Mudarib. The Mudaraba deposits include:
JBL has developed various deposit schemes on the basis of this Mudaraba principle for it`s Islami
Banking branches such as:
Scheme Deposits:
Mudaraba is a shared venture between labour and capital. Here Bank provides with entire capital and
the investment client conducts the business. The Bank, provider of capital, is called Sahib-Al-Maal and
the client is called Mudarib.The profit is to be distributed between the Bank and the investment client at
a predetermined ratio while the bank has to bear the entire loss, if any.
Investment in Imports:
The import business is broadly divided into the following three categories:-
1.1 Definition of the Bai-Murabaha: Bai-Murabaha is a contract between a buyer and a seller under
which the seller sells certain specific goods permissible under Islamic Shariah and law of the land to the
buyer at a price determined by charging agreed profit, margin or mark-up over the cost price. In this
case, the buyer either makes cash payment to receive the goods or is allowed to make payment by
instalments or on a fixed future date. The profit mark-up may be fixed in lump sum or in percentage
over the cost price of the goods.
a) The client (buyer) requests the Bank to purchase particular goods and promises to purchase the same
from the bank at a price fixed by charging profit over the cost price.
b) Under the Bai-Murabaha mode of investment there is no scope to increase the price once it is fixed.
c) After buying the goods, the Bank has to bear all the risk until goods are actually delivered to the
client.
In the import business, the importer provides an irrevocable letter of authority to the ank to import
specific goods on behalf of him (the client) from the foreign seller and romises to buy the same from the
Bank. In this case, the Bank is designated as a onsignee in the Bill of lading and later on the Bank hands
over the same to the mporter through endorsement i.e. the ownership of the goods is transferred to the
mporter. As per uniform customs and practices, the seller lodges his claim or places claim for dues to
the buyer's Bank through the bill of exchange and the buyer’s bank discharges the claim on behalf of the
buyer. The above import system is fully approved/ supported by the Islamic Shariah.
In the import business, Bai-Murabaha investment is accomplished through a single deal at the time of
opening L/C, Bills and Shipment. For example:
The importers apply for investment facility against imported goods after shipment for payment of the
invoice values of the goods to the seller/supplier including custom duty, VAT and other expenses. In
such a case, Islami branches allow a Bai-Murabaha investment facility under single deal concept. It is so
called as the Letter of Credit. Bills and the handling of Post-shipment are settled under one agreement
while opening the letter of credit for importing the goods.
1.5 Accounting procedure for purchase price, profit and sale price
i) Conveyance - TA/DA
ii) Commission payable to the agents.
iii) The expenditures in connection with supplier’s payment.
iv) Transportation cost up to the Bank’s godown.
v) Transit Insurance and other expenses.
vi) Godown rent and salary of officials etc. incurred before sale of goods.
Additional expenses
1. Duty
2. VAT
3. License fee
4. Commission for C&F agent etc.
e) Sale price = c + d
f) The net Investment amount is determined after deduction of the down payment (if any ) from figure
at "e" above.
2.1. The term Bai-Muajjal means "deferred payment sale" or "Sale on Credit"
Under this mode of investment a contract is made between the buyer and seller for buying and selling of
goods approved by Islamic Shariah and law of the land on the stipulation to pay the agreed price at a
specific future date or by fixed installments.
Most of the features of Bai-Murabaha and Bai-Muajjal are alike excepting the following:
3. Import under diminishing proprietorship method (Hire Purchase under Shirkatul Meelk-
HPSM)
Capital machineries and other re-usable goods are imported under this mode. It combines three modes:
rent (Ijara), partnership (Shirkat) and buying and selling.
1. The Bank and the client invest their capital jointly through a contract called partnership
(Shirkat).
2. The bank leases its portion at a certain rent.
3. The Bank sells its portion to the client on receipt of the price under this system.
4.1. Definition of Musharaka: Musharaka is a Shariah compliant mode of investment wherein the bank
and the client jointly provide the capital. Here no prefixed profit is earmarked like in Bai-Murabaha or
Bai-Muajjal. Profit, if any, is distributed as per agreement between the client and the bank while the
loss, if any, is shared according to capital ratio.
4.3. Before establishing Letter of Credit, the bank shall receive an application from the client in
prescribed form which shall include the following aspects:
4.4. The Bank shall, thereafter, receive the equity portion of the client and after completion of
documentation shall make payment against the import liability and all expenses related to it as per the
Musharaka agreement. If there is profit, bank shall receive its share of profit as per agreement and in
case of loss, shall bear the same according to capital ratio.
If loss is incurred after performing all duties and responsibilities as per agreement, then the loss would
be borne by the bank and the client according to capital ratio. But if the loss is incurred due to
carelessness, negligence or breach of any condition by the client, then the client would be liable to bear
the loss.
5.1. Definition of Mudaraba: Under the Mudaraba mode of investment, the client or businessman or
capital user does not invest any capital. In this case, the bank alone invests all the required capital and
the entrepreneur (the client) directly manages and looks after the business.
5.2. Under this mode, the bank bears all the expenditures related to imports. In this case, the Bank
supervises the use of capital, system of business operation and income of the business etc. The client
maintains all the registers, documents and accounts concerning buying & selling of the goods.
5.3. In this case, profit, if any, is distributed between the bank and the client as per the agreed ratio and
loss is fully borne by the Bank.
Investment in exports:
To accomplish export process/ order as per the terms and conditions of the letter of credit (L/C) and the
agreement executed between the seller and buyer, an exporter needs financial and other banking
facilities on urgent basis. So, it is one of the important functions of a bank to provide investment and
banking facilities to the exporter at different stages of export business. An exporter needs financial
facilities at two stages of export process such as at pre-shipment stage, and at post-shipment stage.
Hence, financial facilities to export sector may be classified as:
1. Pre-shipment Finance.
2. Post-shipment Finance.
Financial assistance/ facilities complying Shariah principles are provided at both the stages of export
process.
Investment at Pre-Shipment stage as per Islami Shariah:
An exporter needs various financial facilities till shipment of goods. Finance is needed for procurement of
raw materials and to meet transportation and other related cost upto shipment. Pre-shipment facilities
are generally provided for the following purposes:
1. To procure raw-materials.
2. To process the exportable goods.
3. For transportation and packaging.
4. For payment of insurance premium.
5. For payment of water, electricity and gas bills etc.
6. For payment of wages and salary/bonus to employees.
7. For payment of freight of the ship.
Bank extends Back to Back letter of credit (L/C) facility to exporters to procure/import raw-materials for
producing/manufacturing exportable goods at pre-shipment stage under the mode of Bai-Muajjal.
Initially, no financial facility from the Bank is required when the back to back L/C is opened. But if the
exporter fails to pay the L/C value at maturity or on due date, the Bank provides financial facilities to the
client under Bai- Muajjal mode.
To procure/purchase raw-materials for executing export order the Bank provides investment facilities to
the client under the mode of Murabaha TR. In this case, the Bank obtains Trust Receipt signed by the
client and handover the imported goods to the exporter.
3. Bai-Salam :
3.1 Under the Bai-Salam mode of investment, payment is made in advance to purchase the goods and
the supplier makes promise to deliver the goods at a future date.
3.2 Investment under Bai-Salam mode is made to meet other expenses of the exporter excepting the
manufacturing cost of exportable goods. The Bank purchases a portion of the exportable goods under
the Bai-Salam mode and makes advance payment for the same on the condition that arrangements will
be made by the exporter to export the goods purchased by the Bank along with other goods of the
exporter.
3.3 Fixing purchase price of the goods and recovery of bank's investment:
The purchase price is determined by deducting estimated profit of Bank's purchased portion of the
exportable goods. The Bank recovers its dues after realization of export proceeds.
4. Musharaka:
Pre-shipment investment may be made under Musharaka mode of investment if there is any pre-
determined investment arrangement.
Post-Shipment Investment :
Bank provides post-shipment investment facilities through Negotiation (FBN) and purchase of export
bills. It normally negotiates or purchases the export documents if the documents/bills prepared by the
exporter are found in order/correct in all respect. The bank adjusts the liabilities against FBN/FBP after
receiving the export proceeds and earns exchange income from this. This mode of investment is in
compliance with the Islamic Shariah.
