Introduction

1.1 Introduction

Banks are financial institutions engaged in boosting national savings and capital formation as
well as constitutes infrastructure through financing of various development projects. In
performing multi-dimensional activities like borrowing and lending of money, drawing,
collecting and discounting bills, transferring fund, safe deposit, vault/locker service, foreign
exchange transaction etc. Today’s customers want service and information to be provided at all
times and places.

After 1983, in our country, there were two types of banks: nationalized and private banks. With
the passage of time, second generation and third generation private banks were established. In
the last decade, promoters tried to upgrade the banking system mainly from the manual system
with the technology-based system. Islamic Bank Bangladesh Limited having 294 branches all
over the country and one of the oldest private banks in our country is always very aware of
developing its banking system.

As Bangladesh is one of the largest Muslim countries in the world, the people of this country are
deeply committed to Islamic way of life as enshrined in the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah. The
establishment of Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited on March 13, 1983, is the true reflection of
this inner urge of its people, which started functioning with effect from March 30, 1983. This

Page | 6

Bank is the first of its kind in Southeast Asia. It is committed to conduct all banking and
investment activities on the basis of interest-free profit-loss sharing system.

With the active co-operation and participation of Islamic Development Bank (IDB) and some
other Islamic banks, financial institutions, government bodies and eminent personalities of the
Middle East and the Gulf countries, Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited has by now earned the
unique position of a leading private commercial bank in Bangladesh.

1.2 Background of the Study

Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited has significantly contributed in flow of international


transactions. Among the private commercial bank of our country IBBL is being kept the first
position in earnings the operating profit. Why I have chosen this topic, because to focus the
general banking performance of IBBL & its activities as based on Islamic Shariah.

This study is done to evaluate the overall activities of IBBL. Findings of the study may benefit
the organization itself to take strategic decision on its future plan to enhance the volume of
general banking. It may also benefit the readers as well as researchers who have particular
interests in international trade finance.

1.3 Origin of the Report

As a part of the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) course requirement, it is a 12 weeks


loge internship program to introduce the students with the real life business administration. I
took the internship with Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited which stands a prominent name in
banking industry. I am proud to work as an internee with IBBL and this experience will surely
help me in my future career. This advance working report has been prepared as a part of the

Page | 7
General Banking of IBBL
Shovon
internship program. Being an intern the main challenge was to translate the theoretical concepts
into real life experience. The internship program and the study have following purpose:

 To get organize detail knowledge on the job responsibility.


 To compare the real scenario with the lessons learned at BUBT.
 To experience the real business world.
 To fulfill the requirement of BBA program.

1.4 Scope of the Study

In my internship program, the scope of the work was as immense as I was assigned to work in
every department of the bank in MIRPUR BRANCH. I have tried to observe and understand the
all banking activities especially general banking activities and other day to day functions perform
in this branch. I also tried to understand different topic from the bank personnel.

1.5 Objectives of the Study

The broad objective

The main objective is to analyze the performance of general banking of Islami Bank Bangladesh
Limited.

The specific objectives

 To scrutinize the account opening, account closing, cash receipt & payment process,

IBBL, SIBL & AIBL.
 To analyze the customer’s perception regarding the general banking of IBBL.

1.6 Methodology of the study

Methods followed to perform a job to complete a task are called methodology. In conducting this
study the following methodology was adopted in collecting data & information, preparation of
report.

The methodology of report is given below:

1. Research Design

The study, General Banking of Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited is descriptive in nature that
focuses on the function of general banking of IBBL. To perform the study data sources were
identified and collected, they were classified, analyzed, interpreted and presented in a systematic
manner and key points were found out.

2. Sources of data collection

For preparing the report I have collected data both from primary and secondary sources of data.
And both data sources are equally important for research purpose and preparation of the report.

 Direct observations
 Face to face conversation with the client

Page | 10
General Banking of IBBL
Shovon

6. Data Analysis
The primary data regarding customer perception about using general banking of IBBL are
analyzed using frequency distribution technique.

1.7 Limitations of the Study

The main limitation here is as an internee I could not share all the information every time for the
organization internal security. There are some other limitations these limitations are as follows:

 The major limitation faced in preparing this report was the sensitivity of the data. As it is a
highly competitive market, if the margin information is released to other competitors, it may
have a negative impact on their business.
 Time limitation is also a big factor. The duration of my internship Program was only two
months. But this allocated time is not enough for a complete and fruitful study.

 I was not assigned for a specific task in each day. So I was not able to understand
banking activities deeply.

Page | 11
General Banking of IBBL
Shovon
 The Bank was a busy one having heavy rush of people, whom officers need to deal with.
So allocation of time for an internee is very much difficult for the officers of the bank.

 Confidentiality of data was another important barrier that was confronted during the conduct
of this study. Every organization has their own secrecy that is not revealed to others. While
collecting data on IBBL, personnel did not disclose enough information for the sake of
confidentiality of the organization.
 In many case, up to date information was not published.

2.5 Features of IBBL

An Islamic bank has several distinctive features as compared to its conventional counterpart.

Chapra (1985, PP.154-57) has outlined six essential differences as below:

Abolition of interest (Riba): Since Riba is prohibited in the Quran and interest in all its forms is

akin to Riba, as confirmed by Fuqaha and Muslim economists with rare exceptions, the first

distinguishing feature of an Islamic bank must be that it is interest-free.

Page | 15
General Banking of IBBL
Shovon
 Adherence to public interest: Activity of commercial banks being primarily based on the

use of public funds, public interest rather than individual or group interest will be served

by Islamic commercial banks. The Islamic banks should use all deposits, which come

from the public for serving public interest and realizing the relevant socio-economic

goals of Islam. They should play a goal-oriented rather than merely a profit-maximizing

role and should adjust themselves to the different needs of the Islamic economy.

 Multi-purpose bank: Another substantial distinguishing feature is that Islamic banks will

be universal or multi-purpose banks and not purely commercial banks. These banks are

conceived to be a crossbreed of commercial and investment banks, investment trusts and

investment -management institutions, and would offer a variety of services to their

customers. A substantial part of their financing would be for specific projects or ventures.

Their equity-oriented investments would not permit them to borrow short-term funds and

lend to long-term investments. This should make them less crisis-prone compared to their

capitalist counterparts, since they would have to make a greater effort to match the

maturity of their liabilities with the maturity of their assets.

 More careful evaluation of investment demand: Another very important feature of an

Islamic bank is its very careful attitude towards evaluation of applications for equity

oriented financing. It is customary that conventional banks evaluate applications,

consider collateral and avoid risk as much as possible. Their main concern does not go

beyond ensuring the security of their principal and interest receipts. Since the Islamic

bank has a built in mechanism of risk sharing, it would need to be more careful in how it

Page | 16
General Banking of IBBL
Shovon
evaluates financing requests. It adds a healthy dimension in the whole lending business

and eliminates a whole range of undesirable lending practices.

2.6 Special Features of IBBL

Principles.

 Investment is made through different modes as per Islamic Shariah.

Theoretical Aspects

3.1 Definition of Bank and Banking

Page | 27
General Banking of IBBL
Shovon
Bank is an institution that deals in money and its substitutes and provides crucial financial
services. The principal type of baking in the modern industrial world is commercial banking and
central banking. Banking Means "Accepting Deposits for the purpose of lending or Investment
of deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand or otherwise and withdraw by
cheque, draft or otherwise." The concise oxford dictionary has defined a bank as "Establishment
for custody of money which it pays out on customers order." In fact, this is the function which
the bank performed when banking originated. "Banking in the most general sense, is meant the
business of receiving, conserving & utilizing the funds of community or of any special section of
it."

3.2 Definition of Islamic Bank

According to Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC), “Islamic bank is a financial institution


whose statutes, rules and procedures expressly state its commitment to the principles of Islamic
Shariah and to the banning of the receipt and payment of interest on any of its operations.”

According to Dr. Ziauddin Ahmed “Islamic Bank is essentially a normative concept and could be
defined as conduct of banking in consonance with the ethos of the value system of Islam.

"An Islamic bank is a financial institution whose status, rules and procedures expressly state its
commitment to the principle of Islamic Shariah and to the banning of the receipt and payment of
interest on any of its operations"

(Ali & Sarkar 1995, pp.20-25)

3.3 Objectives of Islamic Banking

3.4 Difference between Conventional and Islamic Banking


Conventional banking is essentially based on the debtor-creditor relationship between the
depositors and the bank on the one hand, and between the borrowers and the bank on the other.
Interest is considered to be the price of credit, reflecting the opportunity cost of money.

Islam, on the other hand, considers a loan to be given or taken, free of charge, to meet any
contingency.  Thus in Islamic Banking, the creditor should not take advantage of the borrower.
When money is lent out on the basis of interest, more often it happens that it leads to some kind
of injustice. The first Islamic principle underlying such kinds of transactions is that "deal not
unjustly, and ye shall not be dealt with unjustly" [2:279]. Hence, commercial banking in an
Islamic framework is not based on the debtor-creditor relationship.

For the interest of the readers, the distinguishing features of the conventional banking and
Islamic banking are shown in terms of a box diagram as shown below:

3.5 RIBA and its basic features

Page | 30
General Banking of IBBL
Shovon

The word used by the Quran concerning 'interest' is Riba. The literal meanings of Riba are
money increase, increase of anything or increment of anything from its original amount
(Maududi 1979, p.84).

However, all increases are not considered as Riba in Islam. Money may increase in business
activities as well. This increase is not at all considered as Riba. The increase, instead of being
prohibited (Haram), is approved (Halal) in Islam. Islam prohibits only those increases that are
charged on the loan with a prefixed rate.

Abu Bakr al Jasas writes, "During the period of Ignorance the lender and borrower came to an
agreement that the borrower would pay back within a specified period the principal amount
along with the agreed upon excess."

Ibne Hajar Askalani says, "Excess goods or money charged on and above principal amount is
Riba."

Thus, any prefixed extra amount charged on a specific amount of money or goods lent out is
called Riba.

The most important characteristic of Riba is that it is the positive and definite result of money
when changed. In other words, when money begets money, without being exchanged for goods
or services, it is called Riba. Its basic characteristics are:

 It must be related to loan;


 A prefixed amount of money to be paid when due;
 A time is fixed for the repayment; and
 All these elements for repayment are taken as conditions for loan.

3.6 Difference between RIBA and Profit

structure of the country. So we can say the whole economy of the country in linked up with its
banking system. IBBL is the bank which is highly potential commercial Bank of Bangladesh.
This bank performs hundreds of important activities both for the public and for the government
as a whole.

Islami bank is a well-organized and promising private bank in Bangladesh which believes in
advancement of growth by providing quality services. In our country, from 1983 IBBL has been
operating with great confidence. As a large Islamic commercial bank, it took various steps to
create employment and socio-economic development for the downtrodden people through
Islamic rules and regulations.

Islami Banks are those who do not charge interest, rather they do business on profit sharing
basis. Islamic bank provides noteworthy facilities to the clients than that of the conventional
banks. This bank is trying to operate their activities according to Islamic Shariah. From this
discussion it proves that interest is a curse. We have to take necessary steps to remove all
problems that stand as a great obstacle before Islamic banks as early as possible for the
development of Islamic banks.
