“A STUDY ON PRODUCT SERVICES OF ISLAMI BANK BANGLADESH LIMITED”
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
There are mainly two objectives behind the preparation of this report such as primary objectives and secondary objectives. These are discussed as under:
Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of this report are as below:
- To make a bridge between the gap of theoretical and practical knowledge.
- To have an overall idea about Islamic Banking System that is based on Al-Quran and Sunnah.
- To know about the interest free Banking System within the Islamic Shariah and how it could be processed.
1.4 METHODOLOGY
The word methods come from the Greek words ‘Meta’ and ‘hoods’ meaning a way (Geddie, 1965). Broadly, a method or methodology is “The underlying principles and rules of organization of a philosophical system of inquiry procedure” (Urdong, 1968). A method involves a process or technique in which various stages or steps of collecting data/ information are explained and the analytical techniques are defined. A dictionary of social sciences observes, “Methodology is the systematic and logical study of the principles guiding scientific investigation” (Gould and Kolb, 1964). In sample a method is the way of doing something.
For collaborating the data and information collected through primary and secondary sources we have used both qualitative and quantitative method, which contains the past, present, and future situation of “Islamic Bank Bangladesh Limited”. During this study we followed some methodology to find out the fact and feature of the Bank.
Source of Data/ Information:
I have collected my information/data from the following sources, which helped me to make this report. The source can divide into two parts. Such as-
- Primary source and
- Secondary source
I used both the sources.
Primary Sources:
Primary sources include interviews and conversation with officers and executives of the Bank of different divisions and departments.
Secondary Sources:
Secondary sources of information include annual report, general report, project profile, journals, periodicals, Bank manual, selected books and other publications etc.
Analysis of data:
Two approaches have been mainly used in this report.
· Conceptual Approach
· Empirical Approach
These two approaches are discussed below:
Conceptual Approach:
A theoretical section is given in this report (i.e. the organization part) to give an insight to the various information concerning the financial function. It is given in relevance with the organization in context i.e. Islamic Bank Bangladesh Limited. A background of IBBL is given to facilitate the understanding of this report. Every single portion is discussed in order to understand the empirical section.
Empirical Approach: This refers to the information that has been directly collected and interpreted from the survey of Islamic Bank Bangladesh Limited. The report is prepared by interviewing the officials of IBBL. The reports of IBBL and documents are also been to do.
1.5 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The officers are very co-operative but they are too busy to give me time to get knowledge about practical activities. Moreover they have to deal in a very competitive environment based on money related activities. That has to prepare this report alone.
Every task has some limitations. Faced some usual constraints during the course of my internship. These are as follows:
Short of time:
Had to complete this report writing within a shorter period of time since many days have passed during the training session. So the time constraint of the study hindering the course of vast area and time for preparing a report within the mentioned period is really difficult.
Busy working environment:
The officials had some times been unable to provide information because of their huge routine work.
Lack of sufficient well informed officials:
Many officials of the branch are not well informed about different systems of IBBL. They know but less.

3.3 SUPERIORITY OF ISLAMIC BANKING OVER CONVENTIONAL BANKING
Islamic bank is superior over the traditional bank for the following reasons:
Abolition of interest based loan market.
There in no fixed cost of capital.
Risk Sharing
Emphasis on productivity as compared to credit worthiness.
Increasing rate of growth.
Stimulation for accelerating saving and capital formation.
Establishment of Adal to attain Ehsan and Falah in this life and the life hereafter.
3.4 ISLAMIC BANKING DECISION DIFFER WITH CONVENTIONAL BANKING
Investment decision Conventional Banking:
The bank makes a loan at a fixed rate, which includes a mark-up to cover its cost of capital. The bank is not worried about the rate of return on the project. In other words, in conventional banking, the rate of return to the bank is fixed regardless of the success of the project, which is the opposite of what happens in a PLS banking system. Under the conventional banking framework, as depicted in Fig-la, the bank charges a fixed rate of interest to finance only those projects which have rates of return greater than or equal to the rate of interest. Thus, the conventional banking system could be termed a Fixed Return System.
Investment decision of Islami Banking:
Under the profit-loss sharing system of investment financing, the bank receives a variable rate of return as it shares a percentage of profits earned by the borrower. Though there is a consensus as to sharing losses in proportion to capital participation, some of the Muslim economists think that the ratio may vary with the application of different types of modes of financing. Thus, the Profit-loss-sharing system of investment financing may be termed a Variable Return System.

5.4 PROCEDURE FOR INVESTMENT UNDER ISTISNA’A SALE
Definition
The Istisna’a sale is a contract in which the price is paid in advance at the time of the contract and the object of sale is manufactured and delivered later. It is a contract with a manufacturer to make something and it is a contract on a commodity on liability with the provision of work. IBBL can utilize Istisna’a in two ways.
- It is permissible for the bank to buy a commodity on Istisna’a contract then sell it after receipt for cash or deferred payment.
- It is also permissible for the bank to enter into a Istisna’a contract in the capacity of seller to those who demand a purchase of a particular commodity and then draw a parallel Istisna’a contract in the capacity of a buyer with another party to manufacture the commodity agreed upon in the first contract.
Steps of Istisna’a Sale:
1.Istisna’a Sale Contract: The Buyer expresses his desire to buy a commodity and brings a request to purchase the commodity to the bank. The method of payment, whether cash or deferred is set forth in the agreement. The bank agrees to deliver the commodity to the buyer at some agreed upon time in the future.
2.Delivery and Receipt of the Commodity: The seller in the parallel Istisna’a agreement, delivers the commodity to the bank on the agreed upon date. The bank, in turn, delivers the product to the buyer of the original Istisna’a contract, in accordance with the original agreement. In this way, all parties fulfill their obligations to the contract.
Application of Istisna’a Sale:
The Istisna’a contract allows IBBL to finance the public needs and the vital interests of the society to develop the Islamic economy in accordance with Islamic teachings. For example Istisna’a contracts are used to finance high technology industries such as the aviation, locomotive and ship building industries. In addition, this type of business transaction is also used in the production of large machinery and equipment manufactured in factories and workshops. Finally, the Istisna’a contract is also applied in the construction industry such as apartment buildings, hospitals, schools, and universities to whatever that makes the network for modern life.
