Overall Banking Activities of Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited
Chapter # 1Introduction
The Internship is a four-credit compulsory course for the business students graduating from
Bangladesh University of Business & Technology (BUBT). The objective of this component is to
provide a hands-on experience to a student graduating under different discipline of Bangladesh
University of Business & Technology (BUBT). The Internship takes place in a firm/organization or an
institution. After completing one hundred and twenty credit hours, a BBA student have to do an
internship in any area of business specialization under the concentration like Marketing, Finance,
Management, Human resource etc.
(1.1) Background of the study:Knowledge and learning become perfect when it is associated with theory and practice. Theoretical
knowledge gets its perfection with practical application. As our educational system predominantly text
based, inclusion practical orientation program, as an academic component is as exception to the norm.
As the parties; educational institution and the organization substantially benefit from such a program,
it seems a “win-win situation”. It establishes contracts and networking contracts. Contracts may help
to get a job. That is, students can train and prepare themselves for the job market. A poor country like
Bangladesh has an overwhelming number of unemployed education graduates. As they have no
internship experience they have not been able to gain normal professional experience or establish
networking system, which is important in getting a job. So, practical orientation is a positive
development in professional area. Recognizing the importance of practical experience, School of
Management and Business Administration has introduced a three months practical exposure as a part
of the curriculum of Master of Business Administration program. In such state of affairs the present
aiming at analyzing the experience of practical orientation related to General Banking activities in the
Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited, Banani Branch.

(1.6) Limitations:There were several constraints while preparing this report; only 12 weeks were not sufficient to visit
all the desks of the branch. So some desks were remained unvisited. Moreover, some officers in some
desks were found non-cooperative. Such desks were remained unexposed. The branch also refuses to
provide data on its performance, especially in loans and advances. It is also not possible to go to the
depth of each activities of branch because of time limitation. Therefore, it was very difficult to carry
out the whole analysis.
Chapter # 2
Profile of the Organization (2.1) Profile of the Organization: Shahjalal Bank Limited was established as a public limited company on April 01, 2001 under
company act, 1994. The bank commenced its commercial operation in accordance with Islamic

has increased its service coverage by opening new branches at different strategically important
locations across the country. In order to cover the shortfall in capital adequacy and fulfill other
requirements, the paid up capital has been increased to TK. 466.83 million by injecting TK. 236.20
million by the sponsors in 2004. the sponsors again injected additional TK. 469.00 million by 15 th
May 2005 to make the sponsors contribution to capital TK. 935.83 million. The bank has the plain to

(2.2) Objective:From time immemorial Banks principally did the functions of moneylenders or "Mohajans" but the
functions and scope of modern banking are now-a-days very wide and different. They accept deposits
and lend money like their ancestors, nevertheless, their role as catalytic agent of economic
development encompassing wide range of services is very important. Business commerce and
industries in modern times cannot go without banks. There are people interested to abide by the
injunctions of religions in all sphere of life including economic activities. Human being is value
oriented and social science is not value-neutral. Shahjalal Islami Bank believes in moral and material
development simultaneously. "Interest" or "Usury" has not been appreciated and accepted by "the
Tawrat" of Prophet Moses, "the Bible" of Prophet Jesus and "the Quran" of Hazrat Muhammad (sm).
Efforts are there to do banking without interest Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited avoids "interest" in all
its transactions and provides all available modern banking services to its clients and wants to
contribute in both moral and material development of human being. No sustainable material well
being is possible without spiritual development of mankind. Only material well-being should not be
the objective of development. Socio-economic justice and brotherhood can be implemented better in a
God-fearing society.

(2.6) Business environment:
During 2007, Bangladesh witnessed higher inflation that affected life of common people, labor unrest
in garments sector- the highest contributor in export sector affected economic activities and business
operations.
Higher import cost of commodity prices, price hike in international oil market as well as money and
credit growth resulted in higher inflation. As a result, the economy of the country showed every sign
of recession. The efficient workforce of the Bank and the prudent management developed a seamless
teamwork which pushed the Bank through all the shadows of uncertainty towards the light of sources.
Despite numerous adversities, closed the balance sheet of the Bank with an enormous per-tax profit of
TK. 1216 million with excellent growth rate of 54.44%. while the whole financial sector faced a

To capture the distinctive nature of service performances, it requires to modify the terminology &
extending the mix by adding four elements associated with service delivery; Physical environment,

Chapter # 3Theoretical Aspects
(3.1) Theoretical Background and Business Practice of Islamic Banking:From the viewpoint of Islamic Shariah, the banking system has to avoid interest. Consequently,
financial intermediation in Islamic banking between the bank and the client takes place as a partner
rather than a debtor-creditor. The financial activities of modern conventional banks are based on a
creditor-debtor relationship between depositors and bank on the one hand and between the borrower
and the bank on the other. Interest is regarded by conventional banks as the price of credit reflecting
the opportunity cost of money. As interest is prohibited in Islam, commercial banking in an Islamic
framework could not be based on the creditor debtor relationship. The other aspect of the theoretical
basis of Islamic banking is that the interest free bank is not risk free. This principle is applicable to
two main factors of production, i.e. labor and capital. According to this principle, as no payment is
allowed to labor, unless it is applied to work, no reward for capital should be allowed, unless it is
exposed to business risk. From these two principles of the theoretical basis of Islamic banking, it may
be said that Islamic financial relationships are of a participatory nature (Ahmad, 1993). Based on the
theoretical background, business practices of Islamic bank, especially sources and uses of bank’s
funds, are characterized by the following modes or techniques.
(3.2) DEFINATION OF ISLAMIC BANKING:The General secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Conference ( OIC) defines an Islamic bank as a
financial institution whose statuses, rules and procedures expressly state its commitment to the
principles of Islamic Sharish and to the banning of the receipt and payment of riba ( interest ) on any
of its operation. Islamic Banking Act of Malaysia (Act No.273a) has given the following definition.
Islamic banking means any company which carries on Islamic banking business and hold a valid
license; and all the offices and branches in Malaysia of such a bank shall be deemed to be one bank
Islamic banking business means banking business whose aims and operations do not involve any
element which is not approved by the Religion of Islam.
Therefore, if a bank by definition, avoids interest on its all transactions, but dose not keep itself away
from other Haram (forbidden) transactions, like investment to pork meat industry, alcoholic beverage
industry, gambling, etc. is not an Islamic, but all Islamic banks must be interest free.
Islamic bank, thus, can also be defined as a financial institution which dose not pay or receive interest
on any of its operations in any form and its all activities conform to the principles of Islamic Shariah.
(3.3) THE MAIN OBJECTTIVES OF ISLAMIC BANKING: Common objectives of all Islamic Banks are said to be as follows:
To abolish Riba
To establish Baiya (trad, commerce and industry)
To mobilize savings for productive purpose
To earn reasonable profit through Halal (permissible) transactions
To establish Maruf (good) and Ihsan (kindness)
To create more employment opportunities by increasing economic activities
To distribute income and wealth equitably
Not to allow concentration of wealth
Generally to serve all classes of people, especially to favors the weaker sectors.
To establish a balanced and welfare society
The above objectives are also the objectives of Islamic economics, so, hundred percent of these
objectives cannot be achieved by Islamic banking operations alone. Islamic banking can play an
important role to achieve these objectives for the establishment of a welfare economy.
(3.4) Banking System of Bangladesh:The banking system of Bangladesh is composed of a variety of banks working as Nationalized
Commercial Banks (NCBs), Private Banks, Foreign Banks, Specialised Banks and Development
Banks. However, 28 out of 50 banks in Bangladesh are private, of which only 5, namely Islami Bank
Bangladesh Limited, Exim Bank Limited,
Al-rafah Islami Bank Limited, Social Investment Bank Limited, and The Oriental Bank Ltd have
been operating as Islamic banks. Besides these full-fledged Islamic banks, some conventional banks
in the private sector have opened full-fledged Islamic banking branches and Islamic Banking Counter
respectively to deal with the Islamic banking business parallel to their conventional operations.
(3.5) Banking Environment in Bangladesh:Bangladesh appeared as a new nation on the world map in the year 1971. After independence financial
institutions, especially banks played a vital role in re-constructing the war-torn economy of
Bangladesh. As reported by BSB (P. 29, 1993), “the banking system of Bangladesh is a mixed one
comprising nationalized, private and foreign commercial banks. Bangladesh Bank is the central bank
of the country and is in charge of monetary policies of the Government and controls all commercial
banks.” Immediately after independence the government of Bangladesh nationalized most of the
banking institutions, though, within a short period, due to the failure in administering them properly,
many of them were returned to their owners. The banking sector is one of the fast growing sectors of
economy in Bangladesh. At present there are 34 banks working in the financial market of the country,
including five Islamic banks and a number of foreign banks.
Central Banks and the Islamic Banks and submitted a report in 1981 on the “Promotion, Regulation
and Supervision of Islamic Banks”. The report highlighted the need to provide for central bank
assistance to the Islamic banks on a basis compatible with the Shariah. The report also discussed
many monetary aspects such as liquidity requirements, reserve requirements, supervision of Islamic
banking activities, and fiscal treatment of income from participation, ownership, capital requirements,
and the maintenance of sound relationships between capital, reserves and total assets. The report
recommended the fostering of interest-free financial instruments to enable the Islamic banks to meet
the statutory liquidity requirements of the central banks. A study regarding “The Relationship between
Central Banks and Islamic Banks” prepared by IAIB was submitted to the third Expert Level Meeting
on Islamic Banking Studies (Dhaka, 1989).
(3.6) Role of Bangladesh Bank in Promoting Islamic Banking in Bangladesh:Though there is no complete Islamic Banking Act for controlling, guiding and supervising the Islamic
banks in Bangladesh, some Islamic banking provisions have already been incorporated in the
amended Banking Companies Act, 1991 (Act No. 14 of 1991). Bangladesh Bank did not set up any
separate Department at its Head Office to control, guide and supervise the operation of the Islamic
banks. Inspection and supervision of the Islamic banking operations are conducted by the Bangladesh
Bank as per the general guidelines framed for the conventional banks. So, ensuring implementation of
Shariah principles in the Islamic banks are being conducted by their own Shariah Councils. The role
of Bangladesh Bank in controlling, guiding and supervising the Islamic Banks in Bangladesh in
accordance with Islamic Shariah is very minimal. In observing the Shariah implementation status of
the Islamic banks, Bangladesh Bank examines only the report of the respective banks’ Shariah
Councils. However, the inspectors and supervisors of Bangladesh Bank are not equally familiar with
the technicalities of the different operational methodologies of the Islamic banking. This is because of
the fact that there is no separate Department to look into this important matter. A committee of experts
set up by the Governors of Central Banks and Monetary Authorities of the OIC countries examined
the whole range of relationships between the
(3.7) Difference between Islamic Banking and Conventional Banking: In Islamic Banking accounting the main difference with conventional Banking is that Islamic
Banking can not deal with interest transaction and also con not deal with Haram Business.

(3.8) 7P’s of marketing mix :
7P’s is a framework which acts as a guideline for marketers to implement a marketing concept. It
consists of a set of major decision areas that a company needs to manage in order to at least satisfy
consumer needs.
The traditional marketing mix contains of four major elements, the "4-Ps of marketing". As defined by
Kotler et al. (1999):
1. Product : "Anything that can be offered to a market for attention, acquisition, use or
consumption that might satisfy a want or need. In includes physical ob-jects, services,
persons, places, organizations and ideas."
2. Price : "The amount of money charged for a product or service, or the sum of the values that
consumers exchange for the benefits of having or using the product or service."
3. Promotion : "Activities that communicate the product or service and its merits to target
customers and persuade them to buy."
4. Place : "All the company activities that make the product or service available to target
customers."
Four P’s Four C’s
Product Customer solution
Price Customer cost
Place Convenience
Promotion Communication
The set of controllable tactical marketing tools – product, price, place and promotion – that firm
blends to produce the response it wants in the target market.The four P’s are very crucial in the
decision making areas for goods oriented .
organizations. Because success depends on the proper implementation of these P’s along with their
associated variables. Thus it is for this reason that the marketers converted the four P’s into four C’s.
Consumer wants and needs (vs. Products)
You can't develop products and then try to sell them to a mass market. You have to study consumer
wants and needs and then attract consumers one by one with something each one wants.
Cost to satisfy (vs. Price)
You have to realize that price - what you sell the product for - is only one part of the cost to satisfy. If
you sell meals, for example, you have to consider the cost of driving to your restaurant what if you
provided a delivery service? Pricing is one of the most difficult decisions to make - selling at the
lowest price is not always the best option. If you rely strictly on price to compete you are more
vulnerable to competition.
Convenience to buy (vs. Place)
You must think of convenience to buy instead of place. You have to know how each subset of the
market prefers to buy - on the Internet, from a catalogue, on the phone, using credit cards, etc.
Communication (vs. Promotion)
You have to consider communication instead of promotion. Promotion is manipulative - it’s a
statement from the seller. Communication requires a give and take between the buyer and seller - This
is much more subtle. Be creative and you can make any advertising "interactive". Use phone numbers,
your web site address, etc. to help here. "Orange Wednesday" is a good example.
Developing a brand takes into account these considerations. Developing a brand is developing a
promise. When you take into consideration the "4 C’s" noted above you begin the process of
developing a brand!
The marketing mix is probably the most famous phrase in marketing. The elements are the marketing
'tactics'. Also known as the 'four Ps', Marketing decisions generally fall into the following four
controllable categories:
Product
Price
Place (distribution)
Promotion
Figure-3.1
Product: The product is the most important aspect of the marketing mix. The product can be a service
or even a holiday destination. Products have both tangible and intangible benefits. Tangible benefits
include benefits which can be measured such as the top speed of a car. Intangible benefits are benefits
that cannot be measured such as the enjoyment the customer will get from the product. It is important
that the product is changed as necessary to bring it up to date and prevent it from being overtaken by
competitors.
Figure: 3-2
Exactly what product or service are you going to sell to this market? Define it in terms of what it does
for your customer. How does it help your customer to achieve, avoid or preserve something?
You must be clear about the benefit you offer and how the customer's life or work will be improved if
he or she buys what you sell
The term "product" refers to tangible, physical products as well as services. Here are some examples
of the product decisions to be made:
Branding
Functionality
Quality level
Products line
Packaging
Repairs and Support
Quality level
ProQuality level line
Branding
Products line
Packaging
Repairs and Support
Securities
Product
Securities
Price:
It is very important that the correct price is charged for a product. If the price is too high consumers
will avoid the product as they will believe it to be too expensive yet if the product is priced too low
they may believe that there is something wrong with the product for it to be so cheap. Also if the
company charges too low a price, it may not cover its costs. There are many different pricing
strategies that companies can use to decide on a price for their product including market and
psychological pricing methods.
Error: Reference source not found
Exactly how much are you going to charge for your product or service, and on what basis? How are
you going to price it to sell at retail? How are you going to sell it at wholesale? How are you going to
charge for volume discounts? Is your price correct based on your costs and the prices of your
competitors?
Some examples of pricing decisions to be made include:
Pricing strategy (scheme, penetration, etc.)
Suggested retail price
Volume discounts and wholesale pricing
Cash and early payment discounts/ bonus
Seasonal pricing
X
Bundling
Price flexibility
Price discrimination
Place:
The place is where you can expect to find your customer and consequently, where the sale is realized.
Knowing this place, you have to look for a distribution channel in order to reach your customer.
The place is not where is located your business but where our customers are. For a retailer it is the
same but for a boat producer located in Philippines the real place is the entire world. Do not confuse
positioning and place. Here place means the real physical position of the customer in a geographic
area or along a distribution channel.
Distribution is about getting the products to the customer. Some examples of distribution decisions
include:
Distribution channels
Market coverage (inclusive, selective, or exclusive distribution)
Specific channel members
Inventory management
Intermediaries
Distribution centers
Order processing
Transactions
Reverse logistics
Promotion:
In the context of the marketing mix, promotion represents the various aspects of marketing
communication, that is, the communication of information about the product with the goal of
generating a positive customer response. Marketing communication decisions include:
Promotional strategy (push, pull, etc.)
Advertising
Personal selling & sales force
Sales promotions
Public relations & publicity
Marketing communications budget
However, the strategies for the four P’s require some modifications when applied to services. For
example, traditionally promotion is thought of as involving decisions related to sales, advertising,
sales promotions and publicity. In services these factors are also important, but because services are
produced and consumed simultaneously, service delivery people are involved in real-time promotion
of the service even if their jobs are typically defined in terms of the operational function they perform.
That is why, in case of service oriented organizations, marketers have to think and emphasize on three
additional P’s known as the extended three P’s. They are:
a) People
b) Process
c) Physical Evidence
People:
All human actors who play a part in service delivery and
thus influence the buyer’s perceptions: namely, the firm’s
personnel, the customer and other customers in the service
environment. Teamwork, training, recruiting and
motivating employees are the associated variables. How
people are dressed, their personal appearance, their
attitudes and behaviors all influence the customer’s
perceptions of the service. In many service situations,
customers themselves can also
influence service delivery, thus affecting service quality and their own satisfaction. For example, the
customer greatly affects the quality of service they receive when they either comply or don’t comply
with the service by the service provider.
Process:
The actual procedures, mechanisms and flow
of activities by which the service is
delivered. In other words, it is the service
delivery and operating system which also
give customers evidence on which to judge
the service. Customers can judge from a
Figure: 3-5
Figure: 3-4
variety of standardized and customized as well as simple and complex processes of various service
organizations.The success of a service organization depends heavily on the nature of the service
which it provides. Thus the additional three P’s are extremely important. In our report we will
represent how a service organization can perform better than its competitors by utilizing the extended
three P’s. We will demonstrate MTBL rising up to the dominant position that it is in now by aligning
with the extended P’s and hence, strongly reinforcing its value image in the minds of its customers.
Physical Evidence:
The environment in which the service is delivered and
where the firm and customer interact and any tangible
representations that facilitate performance or
communication of the service such as brochures,
business cards, facility design and equipments. When
customers have little on which to judge the actual
quality of service they will rely on these cues, just as
they rely on the cues provided by the people and the
service process. Physical evidence cues provide
excellent opportunities for the firm to send consistent
and strong regarding the organization’s purpose, the intended market segments and the nature of the
service
Chapter # 4Analysis and Findings
(4.1) Types of Accounts of SJIBL:A bank is essentially an intermediary of short-term investment/funds. It can carry out extensive
lending/investment operations only when it can effectively mobilize the savings of the community. A
good banker is one who effectively mobilizes the savings of the community as well as makes such
use of savings by making it available to productive and priority sectors of the economy thereby
fostering the growth and development of the nations’ economy.
Accounts are opened under the following two modes:
1. Al-Wadeeah ( Current Account)
2. Al-Mudaraba (Deposit Account)
Figure: 3-6
1. Al-Wadeeah (Current Account): The word ‘Al-Wadeeah’ has been derived from the Arabic
word ‘Wada’yn which means to keep/to deposit/to give up/Amanat. As per Shariah , Amanat means
to keep something (goods/money/others) to any reliable person/institution for safe and secured
preservation of the same keeping its ownership unchanged and which will be returned to the owner of
the fund on demand as it is/in original shape. In case of Amanat Bank/any other institution cannot
use, invest and amalgamate the funds without the prior permission of the owner of the Amanat.
The depositor can deposit any amount in this account
The depositor can withdraw any amount by cheque
No profit is allowed in this account
The depositor shall also not bear any loss
Cheques, bills etc collected in this account against commission
Govt. excise and incidental charge realize from this a/c as per rule.
2. Al-Mudaraba (Deposit Account): The word Mudaraba derived from the Arabic word
‘Darb/Darabun’. Literally it means movement to earn profit (munafa). It is a form of partnership
where one of the parties called the ‘Shahib-al-mal’ provides a specified amount of capital and acts
like a sleeping or dormant partner, while the other party called the Mudarib (entrepreneur), provides
the entrepreneurship and management for carrying on any venture, trade, industry or service with the
objective of earning profit. The Mudarib is required to work with honesty and sincerity and to exert
the maximum possible care and precaution in the exercise of the functions.

applicants, examines and scrutinizes the applications and then selects final customers. Selection of

Customer: If the customer intentionally wants to close the account he/she has to write an
application forwarding the Manager with reasons behind the closure of the account.
(4.8) Cash Section:
A banker’s transactions are mainly of three types. They include:
Cash
Transfer &
Clearing
The cash section of any bank plays very significant role in general banking department because, it
deals with most liquid assets. Basically cash department is the most vital and sensitive department of
the branch which deals with all kinds of transaction in cash. All cash receipts and payments are made
through this department. The IBBL (ge Branch) is equipped with electronic machinery with fully
computerized system which delivers quick service to its valued customers. This section receives cash
from depositors and pay cash against cheques, draft, Pay order (PO), etc over the counter. This
section accepts cheques from the depositors for payment in cash. The drawer who wants to receive
money against cheque comes to the payment counter and presents the cheque to the officer. He
verifies the following information:
I. Date of the cheque
II. Signature of the account holder
III. Material alteration
IV. Whether the cheque is crossed or not
V. Whether the cheque is endorsed or not
VI. Whether the amount in figure and in word corresponds with each one
CASH
Receiving Cash Disbursing Cash
Then the officer checks the cheque from the computer for further verification. Here is the following
information that is checked.
I. Whether there is sufficient balance or not
II. Whether there is stop payment instruction or not
III. Whether there is any legal obstruction or not
The cash section deals with all type of negotiable instruments. It also includes the Vault which is
used as the store of the cash instruments. The vault is insured up to a certain amount, which is called
the vault limit; the excess cash is then transferred to Bangladesh Bank. The SJIBL, Uttara Branch
Vault limit is 1 crore. When the excess cash is transferred, the cash officer issues IBDA. The vault
counter is around 35 lacs.
Any client who wants to deposit money will fill up the deposit slip and give the form along with the
money to the cash officer over the counter. The cash officer counts the cash and compares with the
figure written in the deposit slip. He then puts his signature on the slip along with the ‘cash received’
seal and records in the cash receive register and also in the computer against the account holder.
(4.8) Bills & Clearing Section:A cheque is a bill of exchange drawn on a specified banker and not expressed to be payable
otherwise than on demand. [Section-6, Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881]
A cheque may be an open cheque (which can be presented for payment by the holder) or a crossed
cheque (which can be paid only through a collecting banker.)
The picture below (Fig.1) shows a typical cheque issued by banks.
Cheques of its
customers are
received for
collection from other banks. In case of receiving cheques, following points should be checked very
carefully:
The cheques should not carry a date older than the receiving date for more than 6
months. In that case it will be a stale cheque and it will not be allowed for collection.
The amount in figure and words in both sides of the pay-in-slip should be same.
The name mentioned in the cheque should be same in both side of the pay-in-slip and
it should be the same with the name mentioned in the cheque
The cheque must be crossed
The place where banks meet and settle their dues is the clearing house. The clearing house of the
IBBL, Gulshan Branch, and 42 Motijheel is the local office.
(4.9) Types of cheque: Inward clearing cheques: Inward cheques are those ones drawn on the respective branch
which have been presented on other banks and will be cleared/honored through the clearing
house. For example, the cheque drawn on SJIBL, Head Office.
Outward Cheques: These cheques are received on the counter from other banks. There are
3 types:
1. Drawn on another branch of SJIBL. These are called Outward Bills for Collection (OBC).
2. Drawn on another bank, which is situated in the clearing house area. This cheques are called
clearing cheque.
3. Drawn on another bank, which is situated outside the clearing area. This cheques are also
called as OBC.
In the first case, these cheques are directly sent to the respective branch and requests them to send
IBCA (Inter Bank Credit Advice) by which a branch credits the account of another branch. No
clearing house formalities are necessary here. When IBCA comes, then customer’s accounts are
credited of the amount for the cheque.
In the second case, the cheques are sent to the clearing house. When the drawee bank honors the
cheque then the account of the depositor against the cheque is credited.
In the third case, two procedures exist. First way, if the bank exists within the clearing house area of
the drawer bank, then we send the cheque to that branch of our bank and that branch collects the
proceeds through clearing house formalities and sends an IBCA to us. In the second case if there is
no branch of our bank, then we directly send the cheque to the drawee bank and request them to send
the cheque to the proceeds by TT, DD or by other means.
4. 9.1) Outward Bills for Collection (OBC)
OBC are those cheques drawn on other banks which are not within the same clearing house. An
officer gives OBC seal on this type of cheques and later sends a letter to the manager of the branch of
the same bank located in the branch on which cheque has been drawn. After collection of that bill,
branch advice the concerned branch in which cheque has been presented to credit the customer
account through IBCA. In absence of the branch, officer sends a letter to the manager of the bank on
which the cheque is drawn. That bank will send pay order in the name of the branch. This is the
procedure of OBC mechanism.
4.9.2) Inward Bills for Collection (IBC)
All clearing cheques are not received on the counter. Some cheques are received from other
source for collection. These cheques are received from other branch of IBBL. These cheques are
settled by sending IBCA.
(4.10) Remittance:
Error: Reference source not found
Remittance means transmission/transfer of money from one place to another. Local remittance
represents remittance that takes place within the territory of a country.
Banks have a wide network of branches all over the country and offer various types of remittance
facilities to the public/customer/client etc.
Virtually there are three types of remittances as under:
DD- Demand Draft
TT – Telegraphic Transfer
PO - Payment Order
X
(4.11) Demand Draft:According to Section85 (A) of the negotiable instruments Act, a demand draft is “an order to
pay money drawn by one office of the bank upon other office of the same bank for a sum of money
payable to order on demand.”
The followings are essential features of a demand draft issued by the bank:
1. It is a negotiable instrument
2. It is drawn by one office of a bank upon another office of the same bank
3. It is payable on demand.
4. Its payment is to be made to the person whose name is mentioned in the instrument or
according to order. In other words, it cannot be made payable to the bearer.

(4.20)MODES OF ADVANCE OF THE CONVENTIONAL BANKS:Conventional banks engage in the following types of financing arrangements:
Loans The most obvious form of financing by a conventional bank is the loan arrangement. The bank
advances (loans) a lump sum to an individual (the borrower) for a set length of time at either a fixed
or viable rate of interest. The borrower repays the loan with equal installments over the prescribed
term or in one lump sum at the end of the term. There are no checks issued in this type of
relationship.
OverdraftsThe extension of financing through overdrafts can only occur when there is an existing demand
deposit account. An overdraft occurs when the amount of a check presented for payment to the bank
exceeds the clients deposit balance. The banks may choose to pay on the item, thereby causing a
negative balance in the client’s account. This negative balance is effectively an extension of
financing and can be a prior arrangement with the bank. In addition, overdraft facilities may be
extended against deposit certificates and/or government promissory notes.
Cash credits
Cash credit is a popular mode of borrowing by traders, industrialists and agriculturalists. It is a
separate account by itself and does not require having any other account with the bank. It resembles
the use of overdrafts on a checking account. It is an arrangement whereby the borrower may
withdraw funds borrower may not exceed a predetermined limit and must deposit cash back into the
account as funds become available from daily operations. Interest is charged on the daily balance in
the account.
Medium term loans This type of loan is advanced to industries and agriculture for fixed capital requirements. These
loans are also granted to traders for purchase of fixed assets, to transport operators for purchase of
vehicles, and to self-employed persons for purchase of equipment. These loans are usually extended
for a term of 3 to 7 years and in special cases up to 10 years and are generally repayable by
installments. Since it will take a year or two to derive the full benefits of expansion or renovation,
installments for repayment may commence after one or two years of the disbursement of the loan.
Interest is charged on annual basis.
Hire-purchase advances Under this arrangement, conventional banks grant advances to its clients engaged in hire-purchase
business relating to transports, refrigerators, and televisions, for example. This type of financing is
usually repaid with installments including principal and interest. The bank generally requires
immovable property as collateral against this type of financing.
Bills purchased/discounted Export-Import businesses are performed through opening of L/Cs with Bank. The client, while
opening the L/C, comes to an agreement with the bank that the latter will repay the bill received on
the farmer's behalf on a certain date onward in exchange for a specific rate of interest determined at
the time of agreement. If the bill happens to reach well ahead of the date mentioned, the bank may
purchase the bill, if requested, with a discount. In this case, the bank makes the return twice: first, by
charging interest and then by discounting the bill.

Chapter # 6Major Findings & Recommendation
(6.1) Major Findings:After completing the observation I observed some major finding or problem those are follows:
Status and recognition of Shariah Council
No adequate disclosure in the Balance sheet
No separate computer software
Non- existence of separate Books and forms
Follow common guides and circulars
Uses of surplus and deficit funds
Lack of Trading and motivation
Lack of Maintenance of SLR and CRR
No separate product / Service
Service personnel are working under pressure because they have to deal with large number of
customer every day.
Customers need to wait for long time.
Office Hour not Flexible.
Branch premises is not large enough for the customer
(6.2) Recommendation:Although this branch is making a huge amount of profit and generating a large volume of deposit, a
number of problem have been dictated while I working this branch. Based on my work experience at
SJIBL, Banani branch, I would like to put my some recommendations:
Bank need to increase its quality of customer service and it should Separate form other
banking activity.
Branch should be innovative and diversified in its service and well behave with their
customer.
Need modern technology, without using modern technology no bank can even think of
remaining in the business in near future. So the bank must decide right now how it equip its
branches with modern technology.
Information system should be developed. Bank should be using internet not only for local but
also international correspondence.
Chain of doing job in the branch should be made clear. In the branch chain of completing a
work is not clearly, one employee sometimes performs same duty and in another time
different employee performs it, So no employee can be held liable for defective work or for
delay in work.
Need to speed up processing of investment proposal to send in investment division that they
result early.
They’re being no restriction customers clients are found to move hither and thither inside the
bank premises. This hinders the smooth functioning and amount to security of the bank office
should more careful about this.
Computer division need to be up date and extensive for the greater welfare of the branch.
Bank should be increase their branch all over the Bangladesh as soon as possible
Bank should more invest in agricultural sector. Should give Micro credit for small
entrepreneurs
Bank should emphasize on marketing division through media.
Bank should take officer who are subject related that can understand Banking with in a short
time they can progress a banking activity rather than other officer.
Bank should more concentrate on foreign exchange.
Conclusion:Interest free banking system is no more a concept. It is now a Reality, a dynamic system, embodying
a set of superior banking mechanism. More than 300 Islamic bank and financial institutions are
operating in different Countries throughout the world with a marked success from this inception in
our country in 1983. Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited has been operating with real and confidence in
corporation with other conventional banks. Bringing a new concept in such business sector, which is
growing to rapidly in the world, is rally bold step. As a large Islamic commercial bank, Islamic bank
took various steps to create employment and socio-economic development for the poor through
Islamic shariah. During the three months internship program at Banani, Branch all the desks have
been observed mire or less. Gaining knowledge of practical banking and to compare this practical
knowledge with theoretical knowledge. Though all departments and sections are covered in the
internship program, it is not possible to go to the dept of each activities of branch because of time
limitation. So, objective of this internship program have not been fulfilled with complete satisfaction.
However, highest effort has been given to achieve the objective the internship program. During the
internship, it is found that the branch provides all the type of banking services as well as some
specialized financing activities to the economy. They train me as their colic and willingly. At there
have not enough large scale customer but there have many small type of customer who deposit their
money. In this branch minimum 150 small scale customer open account daily. In this branch there
have also low scope of investment. In this branch deposit investment has balance position. In foreign
Exchange desk daily two L/C opened. Overall I can say that this branch increasing their activity and
fulfill their target that given from Head office.
