General Banking: Overall Process of Telegraphic Transfer (TT)

Chapter-One: Introduction

Origin of Report:

This report is based on an internship program. IBTRA arranges internship program to gather practical knowledge about banking activities followed by IBBL for University students as Universities conducted with different organization after the completion of theoretical courses of program of Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA). A group of interns must carry out a specific project, which is assigned by the IBTRA. In this particular report, I am an internee of the previously mentioned program and the concerned organization is Islamic Bank Bangladesh Limited (IBBL) which is a prominent private and the first Bank of Bangladesh that based on Islamic Shariah. Hence I am placed in Darus Salam Road Branch of Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited from January 25 to April 11 2007. In way of delegation, responsibility of carrying out the study has conferred upon the concerned interns.
 

Report Background:

The practical orientation in different organization is the final term requirement of BBA program. Hence I am selected for the Islamic Bank Bangladesh Limited (IBBL). As instructed by Janab Md. Habibur Rahman I am assigned to work in Islamic Bank Bangladesh Limited, Darus Salam Road Branch. And since then I had started our practical orientation program in General Banking, Investment & Foreign Exchange department of that particular branch of IBBL and successfully complete with lots of solid work experience. And based on that I prepared this report where I tried to mention every single point that I gather from there.
 

Report Objective:

The first objective of writing the report is fulfilling the partial requirement of the BBA program. In this report, I have attempted to give an overview of Islamic Bank Bangladesh Limited in general banking, specially the process of TT. The study aims at some objectives, which are as follows:
O         Understanding  the  differences  between  Islamic  banking  system   and  Commercial banking systems.
O         Understanding how an Islamic Bank runs its business without interest.
O         How an Islami Bank earns its profits through investment .
O         What are its general banking systems.
O        The overall process of Telegraphic Transfer (TT).
O       Understanding the knowledge of Islam.
O        Identifying the problem of Islami Bank.
O        Recommending the problem.
O       Understanding the overall picture of IBBL.
 

Methodology:

 
IBBL is one of the largest and successful banks in Bangladesh. The report is based on both primary and secondary research.


Primary Source:
Primary data was collected form the employees and staffs.


Secondary Source:
The secondary data has been collected from the Annual Report, Magazines and Journals.
Population:
All the Branches of IBBL located in everywhere in Bangladesh has been taken into consideration as population.
Sample:
Islami Bank Bangladesh Ltd, Darus Salam Road Branch is the vivacious sample.
Data Collection Method:
For the organization, part information has been collected through different published articles, journal.
Formal questionnaire for data collection is not used. Information is collected through informal discussions with Relationship managers & respective Unit heads.


Data Analysis:
 
In the organization part information is provided in a descriptive manner.
 

Scope of Study:

The scope of the organization part covers the organizational structure, background, and objectives, functional departmentalization and business performance of IBBL as a whole and the main part covers operational set-up of IBBL.
 

Limitation:

Objective of the practical orientation program is to have practical exposure for the students. My permanent status was for only two months, which was somehow not sufficient enough to gather adequate experience of such vast banking business. After working whole day in the office it was very much difficult and also impossible to study again the theoretical aspects of banking. Finally as the banks renovation activities was going on so the physical working condition was not healthy enough that we thought it would be.
 
Other limitation-
O         Eight weeks of time is not enough for the study.
O         The staffs of the branch were some time so busy that they could not help us all time.
O         Preparing internship report is really troublesome.
O         This type of report preparation is expensive.
O         Collection of data was not smooth.
O         Analyzing with financial data is much more confusing and complicated than any  other data.

Definition of Islamic Bank:

According to Islamic Banking Act 1983 of Malaysia: “An Islamic Bank is a company which carrying 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 of Islam.”
 

Historical Background of Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited:

In August 1974, Bangladesh signed the charter of Islamic Development Bank and committed itself to reorganize its economic and financial system as per Islamic Shariah. For the favorable attitude of the government of the people’s republic of Bangladesh, at present six Islamic Banks operate in Bangladesh Financial   market. These are:

iii)               Al – Arafah Islami Bank Ltd.
iii)                Social Investment Bank Ltd.

v)                  Exim Bank Ltd.
Besides Prime Bank, Dhaka Bank, South East Bank, the Premier Bank, the Jamuna Bank, HSBC Bank and Standard Chartered Bank also have opened Islamic banking branches.
Islami Bank Bangladesh Ltd.  was incorporated as the first shariah based interest free bank in south  East Asia on the 13 march, 1983 as a Public Company with limited liability under the Companies Act, 1913, started limited operation on 30 March, 1983 and introduced a full package of banking services in August, 1983. Its board objective is banking business under shariah. Its registered office is located in Dhaka with prior permission from the Bangladesh Bank, it open branches anywhere within and outside the country.

Its overseas capital is owned by Islamic Development Bank (IDB), nine other institutions and three individuals of Arab nationality, while the local capital is owned by Government of Bangladesh (GOB), Investment Corporation of Bangladesh (ICB), four non – profit private institutions and a good number of private individuals.

2.4 Functions of Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited:
The most important objective of Islamic banking system is to establish equity and justice in arena of business and ensure equitable distribution of wealth and income. The sources of fund of the Islamic Bank include paid up capital and deposits. Deposits mobilized by the Islamic Bank may be categorized into three: Current deposits, ordinary savings deposits and investment term deposits (Chakma, Islami and Karmker, 1995). Like conventional banking no return is payable on current deposits while ordinary savings deposit holders are entitled to profit earned according to the return realized by the Bank on investment / use of proceeds of such deposits (chakma, Islami and Karmker, 1995). Investment on term deposit holders are entitled to proceeds from investment on the basis of signed agreement.
Islamic Bank’s modes of financing can be broadly classified into equity and debt instruments. While equity instruments are Mudarabah and Musharakah, debt-instruments arise from sale transactions. These fixed income instruments include Murabahah (cost-plus or mark-up sale), Bai-muajjal (price-deffered sale), Istisna / Salam (object deffered sale or prepaid sale) and Ijarah (leasing) (khan, 1991, Khalf and Khan, 1992, Ahmed, 2004 and Usmani, 1999). I outline the basic concepts and properties of this mode of investment below:
a)     Musharakah: Sharikah is a partnership between parties in which financial capital and / or labor act as shared inputs and profit is distributed according to the capital share of the partners or in some agreed upon ratio. The loss, however, is distributed according to the share of the capital. Though there can be different kinds of partnerships based on money, labor, and reputation, one case of Sharikah is participation financing or Musharakah in which partners share both in capital and management of the business enterprise. Thus partners in Musharakah have both control right and claims to the profit.
b)    Mudarabah (or qirad or muqadarah) : Mudarabah is similar to the concept of silent partnership in which financial capital is provided by one or more partner(s) (Rab ul mal) and the work is carried out by the other partner(s) Mudarib. The funds are used in some activity for a fixed period of time (Siddiqi, 1987). The financiers and the managers of the project share the profits in an agreed upon ratio. The loss, however, is borne by the financiers according to their share in the capital. The manager’s loss is not getting any reward for his services, as the ‘Rab ul mal’ is sleeping partner; he/she has a claim on profit without any say in the management of the firm.
c)   Murabahah / Bai Muajjal: Murabahah is a sale contract at a mark-up. The seller adds a profit component (mark-up) to the cost of the item being sold. When the purchase is on credit and the payment for a good / asset is delayed, the contract is called Bai-muajjal. A variant would be a sale where the payments are made in installments. These contracts create debt that can have both short and long –term tenors. In these debt contracts, the supplier of the good has claims on a fixed amount that must be paid before arriving at profits.
d) Salam / Istisna: ‘Salam sale’ is an advance purchase or product-deferred                                                                                              sale of generic goods. In a Salam contract, the buyer of a product pays in advance for goods that is produced and delivered later. The contract applies mainly for agricultural goods.
Istisna contract is similar to the Salam contract with the difference that in Istisna the goods are produced according to the specifications given by the buyer. This applies mainly to manufactured goods and           real estate. Furthermore, in Istisna the payments can be made in installments over time with the progression of the production.
 
Note that in case of a firm Istisna can be used in a couple of ways. First, the firm can get funds to finance its working capital needs. This Istisna contract is a debt contract that can be used only if the financier is willing to purchase the goods at the stipulated time of delivery. The second approach would be for the firm to ask the financier to provide asset (like real estate) and the payments are made over a period of time in future. In this case the financier may need to have a parallel Istisna and sub-contract the project to a third party for its completion.
 
e) Ijarah: Ijarah is a lease contract in which the lessee pays rent to the lesser for use of asset (usufruct). In Ijarah the ownership and the right to use an asset (usufruct) are separated. It falls under a sale-based contract as it involves the sale of asset (usufructs). A lease contract that results in the transfer of an asset to the lessee at the end of the contract is called ‘Ijarah  wa iqtina’ or ‘Ijarah muntahia bittamleek’.
‘Ijarah wa iqtina’ combine sale and leasing contracts and use the hire-purchase or rent-sharing principles. The ownership of the asset is transferred to the lessee as payments for the asset are also made along with the rent. After the contract period is over, the lessee assumes the ownership of the asset.
 

Profile of the Organization:

 
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 Quran and the Sunnah.

The Bank’s ability to keep its return on asset (ROA) well above the industry’s average reflected its resilience to possible shocks in the banking system. Concerns over massive NPLs and under provisioning are common amongst local banks. But this seems well resolved in IBBL. IBBL’s good performance and solid capital base have indeed provided refreshing change found within a banking system saddled and held back by huge NPLs” the above agency continued to comment to comment in the same issue.

To Open A New Account:

This is a period of keen competition among banks. Most of the commercial banks compete with one another in tapping the savings of the public by means of purchasing of different types of financial product. These products are known as secondary securities, which shows claim against the financial institutions. Popularly these products are known as deposit; of different kinds and of various maturities. The most popular products are current-deposit (CD), savings bank deposit (SD), fixed deposit, short-term deposit etc.
 

General Practice at Regarding Accounts:

 

Account Opening Register:

 
After fulfilling all the requirements for opening account necessary entries are given in the account opening register. There are several registers for several accounts as MSA, AWCA and MTDR etc. Date of opening, name of the account holder, nature of the business, address, initial deposit and introducer’s information are recorded in that register. New accounts number is given from the list of new numbers provided by the computer department.
 

Check Book:

Checkbook is issued to the new customer after seven days of opening account. Two separate checkbooks are given for current and saving accounts. AWCA accounts check book consists 25 and 50 leafs, while MSA account checkbook has 10 leafs. There has a check book issue register in this regard; where check book number, leaf number, date issue etc. information are kept on the register. All the necessary numbers are the sent to the computer department to give entry in the program.
 

Incidental Charge:

Taka 10 or 50 = each for twice a year is debited from customers AWCA account for rendering service to him. Taka 50 = each is debited from customers account for providing him solvency certificate.
 

Profit:

Profit is the price of product, which is determined by the market forces. Every bank offers a competitive price to attract depositors.
 

General Characteristics of Deposit Account:

 

Al-Wayadia Current A/C (AWCA):

AWCA accounts are unproductive in nature as far as banks loan able investment fund is concerned sufficient fund has to be kept in liquid form, as current deposits are demand liabilities. Thus huge portion of this fund becomes nonperforming. For this reason banks do not pay any of AWCA account holder. Business and companies are the main customers of this product.
 

Mudaraba Savings Account (MSA):

As per Bangladesh Bank instruction 90% of SA deposits are treated as time liability and 10% of it as demand liability. In EBL there is a restriction about drawing money from SB account but anytime holder may draw money of any amount with prior notice, generally householder and individuals are the clients of this account.
 

Mudaraba Short Notice A/C (MSN):

MSNA accounts can be treated as semi term deposit. Deposit should be kept in these accounts for at least seven days to get interest of MSNA accounts is less then SB accounts. 5.5% generally profit, but may increase to 6% or more depending on the fund. Check book is issued them but frequent use of checkbook is discouraged. Government organization, big corporate house and banks are generally the clients of this account. The volume of this account is generally large and notice has to be given to draw money.
 

Mudaraba Term Deposit Receipt (MTDR):

Fixed deposit is of two kind midterm deposit (MTD) and term deposit (TD) instrument whose maturity period is within one year are know as midterm deposit MTD and those above one year are considered as term deposit (TD). Calculation of profit TDR and provisioning regarding this is quite complicated issue. Profit is calculation at each maturity date and provision is made on that. Also at the month and provision of profit is mode.

Analysis of Deposit (Department of General  Banking  of IBBL):

On the date of 30.06.2004, among the total deposit of the banking sector, 51.08% comes from nationalized commercial bank and specialized bank. 41.99% comes from private commercial bank (including also 10.02% of IBBL). And 6.93% comes from foreign commercial bank, whereas it was respectively 54.29%, 38.72%, and 6.99% on 30.06.2003.
Here we see that, in the year 2004, contribution of private commercial bank to the deposit of the banking sector has been increased. Among all private commercial bank, contribution of IBBL is very high, which is
10.02      *100
41.99
= 23.86%.
At that time, there was 30 private commercial bank.

Chapter-Six: Problems and Prospects of IBBL

PROBLEMS OF ISLAMI BANK:

 
The Islami Bank have and continue to take considerable problems in their operations and other matters related to their relations with other banks and institutions ranging from managerial, financial and regulatory to legal extent, such as:
 
1)      Shortage of professionals conversant with Islami Banking.
 
2)      Total lack of familiarity by international financial and non-financial sector with Islami Products.
3)     Severe competition in the financial sector.
 
3)      Inadequate track record of Islami banking itself in particular and Islami Banks in general.
4)      Lack of professional image in the market.
 
5)      Absence of infrastructure for Islami trade financing on international basis.
 
6)      An offshore banking unit status of some of the major Islami Institutions without prospects of doing business in the home market.
 
7)      Economic slow down and political situation in some of the countries.
 
8)      Non-acceptance by national laws of many countries of the provisions of Shariah, and
 
9)      Relatively under-developed corporate sector and capital market in Islami countries.
 
PROSPECTS OF ISLAMI BANKING IN BANGLADESH:
 
 
In spite of the present limitations, Islami banking system has tremendous potential and prospect in Bangladesh.
 
1)   The successful lunching and operations of Islamic banks has established the fact that banking without interest is feasible
.
2)   The lunching of Islami bank has shown the Islami money market in the country.
 
3)   Islami banks have brought together many depositor sand entrepreneurs under their fold and coverage, these depositors and entrepreneurs so long avoided interest- based banking on grounds of religious injunctions.
 
 
We see that the IBBL is growing very rapidly in our country. But our rules and regulation for banking systems is not Shariah based. So, when the govt. makes a rules &regulation
For Islamic banking it will be growing more rapidly than present time.
 
 
The gradual and successful  globalization of Islamic banking coupled with growing awareness ness of the people about its financial and social benefits makes its
Clear that the next century is going to be the century of Islamic banking.

Chapter-Seven: CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

Conclusion

Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited (IBBL) was incorporated on 13, March, 1983 as a public company with limited liability under the companies act, 1913. The bank started functioning with effect from 30, March, 1983. IBBL is the first interest (riba) free banking in South Asia. The establishment of this bank conducted new age in Bangladesh, the 3rd largest Muslim country in the world.
 
The bank is committed to run all its activities as per Islamic Shariah. IBBL through its steady process and continued success has, by now, earned the reputation of being one of the leading private sector banks of the country. The bank has shown steady process in this important sector. Main items of import (by the help of IBBL) are machinery, garments, fabrics and accessories, ships for scarping, rice pharmaceuticals etc. Whereas main items of exports are jute goods, readymade garments, leather, frozen fish, fertilizer, etc. Still now hear about 301 Islamic banking and financial institutions in about 49 countries of Asia, Africa, Europe, America and countries like Pakistan, U.K., U.S.A., Germany, Argentina, Denmark, Luxembourg, Switzerland and India have been established. The banking system of Pakistan and Iran was totally remodeled on the basis of Islamic Shariah services.
 
IBBL will be more effective in our economy by lunching new financial products to attract deposit as Consumer Credit Scheme, Pension Scheme, Child Education Scheme,  Plastic Money ATM and Online service etc .
 

Recommendation

After observing the operation procedure of IBBL, I recommend the following:
 
IBBL should launch more online service.
 
IBBL should launch new financial products to attract deposit, as Consumer Credit Scheme, Child Education Scheme, and Plastic Money etc. IBBL can also lunch ATM as diversification.
 
Marketing Division:
To increase the faith of former mentioned depositors and people, IBBL should convince them in the best manner, so that market share can be captured. A separate marketing division should be set up for this matter.
 
Diversify Assets Portfolio:
Leading portfolio of IBBL should be diversified. Not to concentrate or give weight only in working capital financing.
 
IT’S Facilities:
IT facilities of IBBL are not satisfactory good. Computer system which owned by branch are not up to date, not sufficient and moreover some of computer system not work properly when they are needed. There is no sufficient and high bandwidth Internet connection available in the bank. So, IBBL should develop Information Technology to ensure better service for the customer and support communication with outside.
