effect from September 27, 1995. It is committed to conduct all Financial Activities

banking and Investment activities on the basis of interest free profit and loss sharing

system. In doing so it has unveiled a new horizon and unhered in a new silver lining of

hope towards materializing a long cherished dream of the people Bangladesh for doing

their Banking transaction in line with what is prescribed by Islam. With the active co-

operation and participation of Islamic Development Bank (IDB) and some other Islamic

Banks, financial institutions and government bodies, Al-Arafah Islami Bank Limited has

new earned the unique position of a leading private commercial bank in Bangladesh.

1.4 Scope of the Report

As I was working in the Al-Arafah Islami Bank Limited, Mirpur Branch, I got the

opportunity to learn different part of banking system. My supervisor divided the whole

banking in two parts so that I can get the opportunity to work in both the divisions,

General Banking division and Investment division to analyze the whole financial

activities. As there is no Foreign Exchange division, I did not get any practical

knowledge about this division. But my supervisor gives me a overall briefing about

foreign exchange division.

1.5 Methodology of the Report:

1.6 Time schedule

Data collection …………………….……30 days

Data analysis………………………….……..20 days

Report writing………………………………..20 days

Revise ………………………………………...10 days

Finalize………………………………… …..10 days

Total ……………………… …..…90 days

1.7 Limitations of the Report:

During my internship period, the problems that I faced are mentioned below:

Top level management officers are busy: In banking system, data is more important to evaluate the performance of the certain bank but data is managed strictly by the top level management and they are also busy.

Time limitation:

The major limitation is time binding. Experience comes from learning but learning takes time. Adequate time is required for learning. Three month is sufficient to learn but banking system is more complex that require more time to learn completely.

Secrecy problem:

Every organization follows its own secrecy. For a financial institution, it is very risky to disclose the secret information to others.

Lack of co-operation:

Few officers sometimes feel disturbed as they were busy in their job. Sometimes they did not want to supervise me out of their official works.

Inadequate data:

Some desired information could not be collected due to confidentially of business and the limited services of the branch.

All of the above limitations are seriously hampered my internship report

Literature Review of AIBL

3.1 Meaning of Islamic Banking

The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) in its Foreign

Ministers Conference held in Senegal in 1978 approved the definition of Islamic Bank as

“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 Islamic Banking Act of Malaysia, an Islamic Bank is a “company, which

carries on Islamic Banking business, Islamic Banking business means banking business

whose aims and operations do not involve any element which is not approved by the

religion Islam.”

Dr. Ziauddin Ahmed Says, “Islamic banking is essentially a normative concept and could

be defined as conduct of banking in consonance with the ethos of the value system of

Islam.”

It appears from the above definitions that Islamic banking is a system of financial

intermediation that avoids receipt and payment of interest in its transactions and

conducts its operations in a way that it helps achieve the objectives of an Islamic

economy. Alternatively, this is a banking system whose operation is based on Islamic

principles of transactions of which profit and loss sharing is major feature, ensuring

justice and equity in the economy. That is why Islamic banks are often known as profit

and loss sharing banks.

3.2 Islamic Banking Movement Throughout the world

The expansion and unfolding of Islamic banking along with traditional interest based

banking is a recent phenomenon. Islamic banking is an inseparable part of Islamic

economy. During fifties it was only a subject matter of research and was limited to the

writings of scholars and philosophers. During the sixties actual experiments were made

www.AssignmentPoint.com

Page 25: Al Arafah Islami Bank Ltd.

and in the seventies Islamic banking institutions started gaining strength. The eighties

and nineties are and the period of consolidation and now Islamic banking is coming up

as the only welfare banking system of the modern world.

Ahmad al Najjar played the pioneering role in establishing the first Islamic bank in the

modern world in 1963 at Mitgamar, Egypt.

Consequently, Islamic banking movement achieved steady progress and assumed

significant dimension and role with the establishment of the Nasser Social Bank (1972).

Dubai Islamic Bank (1975), Islamic Development Bank (1975) Faysal Islamic Bank in

Egypt and Sudan (1977), Jordan Islamic Bank for Finance and Investment was

established in Jordan in (1978), Turkey in (1983). Pakistan declared all banks as Islamic

in 1978 and Iran declared in 1984. Emergence of development Bank as an International

Financial Institution with a view to institutions was considered as a milestone in the

history of Islamic banking.

As on today, more than 300 Islamic financial institutions in about 50 countries operation

throughout the world covering both Muslim and non- Muslim countries of various socio

economic environment.

3.3 Objectives of Islamic Bank

The objective of Islamic banking is not only to earn profit but also to do good and

welfare to the people. Islam upholds the concept that money, income and property belong

to Allah and this wealth is to be used for the god of the society.

The main objective of Islamic Banking is— To conduct interest free Banking.

To establish Participatory Banking instead of Banking on debtor- creditor

relationship.

To invest through different modes permitted under Islamic Shariah.

To accept deposits on profit-loss sharing basis.

the land) to buyer at a cost plus agreed profit payable in cash or on any fixed future date

in lump sum or by installments. The profit marked –up may be fixed in lump sum or in

percentage of the cost price of the goods.

Bai- Muajjal:

www.AssignmentPoint.com

Page 29: Al Arafah Islami Bank Ltd.

Bai- Muajjal may be defined as a contract between a buyer and a seller under which the

seller sells certain specific goods (permissible under Islamic Shariah and the law of the

land) to buyer at a cost plus agreed profit payable on a certain fixed future date in lump

sum or within a fixed period by installments. The seller may also sell goods purchased

by him as per order and specification of the buyer.

Ijara Bil-Bie (Hire Purchase)

The hire purchase method of financing enables a bank to finance the purchase of

movable and immovable assets. It is a joint ownership agreement subject to the provision

of security/surety provided by the client. In addition to the repayment of the principal

amount, the bank receives a share in the net rental value after allowing for necessary

deduction on account of depreciation of asset. This payment is made after adjusting the

bank’s outstanding share of the asset, which reduces with each installment payment made

by the client. The cost of insurance of the asset is shared by the bank and the other party

in proportion of their capital contribution to the asset. After the full payment has been

made, the client becomes the owner of the asset. Until full payment has been made the

client is only entitled to the use of the asset.

Since this mode of Financing involves inflow of cash over a considerable period of time,

the discounting techniques can be applied to evaluate the acceptability of the project.

Each and every expected installment payment should be converted to present value by

applying the appropriate discount rate. The next step would be to sum up the present

value of the streams of cash inflows and compare it with the purchase price. A proposal

yielding a positive net present value would be accepted and otherwise rejected. The same

concept applies while applying the IRR method, whereby the minimum expected rate of

return is calculated which would equate the present value of cash inflows with the initial

cash outflow. An investment proposal failing to yield this minimum required rate of

Investment Division:

The special feature of the investment policy of the Bank is to invest on the basis of profit –

loss sharing system in accordance with the tenents and principles of Islamic Shariah.

Earning is not only motive and objective of the Bak’s Investment policy rather emphasis

is givien in attaining social goal and objective in creating employment opportunities.

Trading Modes of Investment:

Bai- Murabaha:

Bai –Murabaha may be define as a contract between a buyer and a seller under which the seller sells certain specific goods (permissible under Islamic Shariah and the law of the land) to buyer at a cost plus agreed profit payable in cash or on any fixed future date in lump sum or by installments. The profit marked –up may be fixed in lump sum or in percentage of the cost price of the goods.

Bai- Muajjal:

Bai- Muajjal may be defined as a contract between a buyer and a seller under which the

seller sells certain specific goods (permissible under Islamic Shariah and the law of the

land) to buyer at a cost plus agreed profit payable on a certain fixed future date in lump

sum or within a fixed period by installments. The seller may also sell goods purchased

by him as per order and specification of the buyer.

Ijara Bil-Bie (Hire Purchase)

The hire purchase method of financing enables a bank to finance the purchase of

movable and immovable assets. It is a joint ownership agreement subject to the provision

of security/surety provided by the client. In addition to the repayment of the principal

amount, the bank receives a share in the net rental value after allowing for necessary

deduction on account of depreciation of asset. This payment is made after adjusting the

bank’s outstanding share of the asset, which reduces with each installment payment made

by the client. The cost of insurance of the asset is shared by the bank and the other party

in proportion of their capital contribution to the asset. After the full payment has been

www.AssignmentPoint.com

Page 45: Al Arafah Islami Bank Ltd.

made, the client becomes the owner of the asset. Until full payment has been made the

client is only entitled to the use of the asset.

Since this mode of Financing involves inflow of cash over a considerable period of time,

the discounting techniques can be applied to evaluate the acceptability of the project.

Each and every expected installment payment should be converted to present value by

applying the appropriate discount rate. The next step would be to sum up the present

value of the streams of cash inflows and compare it with the purchase price. A proposal

yielding a positive net present value would be accepted and otherwise rejected. The same

concept applies while applying the IRR method, whereby the minimum expected rate of

return is calculated which would equate the present value of cash inflows with the initial

cash outflow. An investment proposal failing to yield this minimum required rate of

return should be rejected.

Other special Investment Scheme: Masque Based Investment Scheme Vachels Investment Scheme Consumer Investment Scheme Small investment Scheme

4.9 SWOT Analysis of AIBL

SWOT analysis provides an opinion and adjustment whether organizations currently

position is satisfactory or not.

Strengths

All the level of the management is solely directed to maintain a culture for the

betterment of the quality of the service.

The bank has earned customer loyalty as organizational loyalty.

Skilled personals have developed professional relationships with their customers

and clients, which is an emotional tie on regular business.

AIBL is always trying to add new and modern equipments.

Employees are sharing good atmosphere in AIBL so that it gave them reason to

work efficiently and to become dedicated in banking.

AIBL maintain corresponding relationship with many foreign banks so that it is

an effective measure for the smooth business.

The top management officials all have had reputed of banking experience, skill

and proficiency.

Weaknesses

The advertising and promotional activities of this bank are up to the mark.

Reference appointment is very much effective in AIBL. As a result of this there are

many who are only drawing salaries at the end of the month but making a

minimum contribution towards the organization.

There are some officers who work hard but are not appreciated by the authority.

AIBL has not set up proper network system among branches.

A remarkable portion of the total human resources is inefficient.

www.AssignmentPoint.com

Page 48: Al Arafah Islami Bank Ltd.

The bank does not have any research and development division.

Opportunities

The bank can introduce more innovative and modern customer service to better

survive in the competition.

They can also offer micro credit business for individual and small business.

It is high time that they should move toward the online banking operation;

because some banks are already introduce the online banking operation.

Bank will be able to accommodate knowledgeable. Skilled, experience and hard

working person by offering attractive remunerations and fringe benefits with nice

working environment.

By expending the financial policy with credit facility customer are very much

secure in business environment.

Threats

Central bank (Bangladesh bank) is always supervising the local and foreign

banks in Bangladesh and sometimes it is hampering the normal operation of

private bank.

Through the innovation working is in continuous process, but the other rival

banks are copying it within the short time.

The world in advancing toward technology very fast. Though AIBL taken effort to

join the stream, it is not possible to complete the mission due to the poor

technological infrastructure of our country.

They are carrying our aggressive campaign to attract lucrative corporate client

as well as big time depositor.

Local competitors can also capture a huge market share by offering similar

products and services provided by the bank.

5.1 Conclusion

Banks have their own unique strategy, which leads to their objectives. Some wishes to

grow faster and achieve some long –range growth. On the other hand some banks want

to lead a quite life minimizing risk and convey an image of a sound bank. AIBL is pretty

new in its operation. Even though the financial analysis on the banks performance seems

the banks doing very well in the banking industry of Bangladesh, and has prosperous

future.

AIBL has established goodwill through innovative products and services. Technological

development has opened up a new dimension in the development of creative products,

efficient services and customer satisfaction. The Bank must cope with this technological

advancement its present status.

AIBL is more capable of contributing towards economic development compared with

other conventional banks by dint of commanding most of their funds. The bank sanctions

investment in productive project leading to increase in production and development and

also in export and import business. It may be expected that by establishing a network

over the country and by increasing resources this bank will be able to play a

considerable role in the portfolio of development of financing. Investment management

policies and techniques used in SJIBL is comparable to international standers. The

officials follow the policy very strictly. They are choosy and conservative in sanctioning

loan.

The aim of the internship program is to gain knowledge of practical banking and to

compare this practical knowledge with theoretical knowledge. During the 12 weeks

internship program, it is not possible to go to the depth or each activities of division

because of time limitation. So, objectives of this internship program have not been

fulfilled with complete satisfaction. However, highest effort has been given to achieve the

objectives of the internship program. I think this report may show a guideline to AIBL for

its future planning and its successful operation to achieve its goal in the competitive

environment.
