WHAT IS INTERNSHIP?

Of these, there are four state owned commercial banks (NCB), 5 specialized banks, 11 foreign banks, and 26 domestic private banks, 4 Islamic banks currently operating in Bangladesh.
FIGURE: 1 Generally, the commercial banks and finance companies provide a myriad of banking products/services to cater to the needs of their customers. However, the Bangladesh banking industry is characterized by the tight banking rules and regulations set by the Bangladesh Bank, All banks and financial institutions are highly governed and controlled under the Banking Companies Act-1993.
The range of banking products and financial services is also limited in scope; all local banks must maintain a 4% Cash Reserve Requirement (CRR), which is non-interest bearing and a 16% Secondary Liquidity Requirement (SLR). With the liberalization of markets, competition among the banking products and financial services seems to be growing more intense each day. In addition, the banking products offered in Bangladesh are fairly homogeneous in nature due to the tight regulations imposed by the central bank. Competing through differentiation is increasingly difficult and other banks quickly imitate any innovative banking service.
Scope means the area on which the study has to be done. The study is only related in First Security Islami Bank Limited, chawkbazar Branch, Chittagong. This report focuses on the Overview of the First Security Islami Bank Limited and mainly related with Lending Policy and recovery system.

ABOUT

THE
Definition of Bank:
We can define A bank as an institution, usually incorporated with power to issue its promissory notes intended to circulate as money (known as bank notes); or to receive the money of others on general deposit, to form a joint fund that shall be used by the institution, for its own benefit, for one or more of the purposes of making temporary loans and discounts; of dealing in notes, foreign and domestic bills of exchange, coin, bullion, credits, and the remission of money; or with both these powers, and with the privileges, in addition to these basic powers, of receiving special deposits and making collections for the holders of negotiable paper, if the institution sees fit to engage in such business." Generally there are two main way of operating commercial bank. They are conventional banking and Islamic banking system.
Islamic Banking:
The Islamic banking has been defined in a number of ways. The definition that is given approved by Organization of Islamic Conference is most popular. According to The OIC, The 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 receipt and payment of interest on any of its operations. It appears from the definition that Islamic banking is a system of financial intermediation that avoids receipt and payment of interest in its transactions and conducts its operation ina way that it helps achieve the objectives of an Islamic economy. And also it is operated on the basis of Mudaraba theory. According to Mudaraba theory, the relationship between bank and clients is not debtors-creditors, it is a relationship of trusteeship.

Leading money and getting it back with interest is the fundamental function of the conventional banks. It can charge additional money in case of defaulters. For interest-based commercial banks, borrowing from the money market is relatively easier. The conventional banks give greater emphasis on creditworthiness of the clients. A conventional bank has to guarantee its deposits. The status of a conventional bank, in relation to its clients, is that of creditor and debtors. The conventional Banking system has the recycling system. They charge interest on interest.

Remittance?
A remittance is a transfer of money by a foreign worker to his or her home country.Remittances are playing an increasingly large role in the economies of many countries, contributing to economic growth and to the livelihoods of less prosperous people (though generally not the poorest of the poor). According to World Bank estimates, remittances totaled US$414 billion in 2009, of which US$316 billion went to developing countries that involved 192 third of their GDP. million migrant workers. For some individual recipient countries, remittances can be as high as a As remittance receivers often have a higher propensity to own a bank account, remittances promote access to financial services for the sender and recipient, an essential aspect of leveraging remittances to promote economic development. The top recipients in terms of the share of remittances in GDP included many smaller economies such as Tajikistan (45%), Moldova (38%), and Honduras (25%).
FOREIGN REMITTANCE:
Foreign Remittance refers to the transfer of funds from one country to another, which may be within the country or between two countries through banking channel, post office or the informal channel.

Purchase of foreign currencies constitutes inward foreign remittance & sale of foreign currencies constitutes outward foreign currencies. Foreign remittance is very important for the country as valuable foreign remittance is involved in the transfer mechanism. From the year 1990, Prepared By Md Elias Alam 34
Monitoring the flow 0f foreign remittance On Bangladesh the role of FSIBL financial liberalization has been started which is still going on. Due to liberalization, restrictions on foreign remittance become ease. Bangladesh taka is convertible for current account transactions on March 24, 1994 with the view to achieve better exchange rate management system. And from April 1994 Bangladesh Government has accepted the status of Article V111 of international monetary fund. National Credit & Commerce Bank Ltd.

Consumption smoothing Many recipients of remittances, especially in rural areas, have highly variable incomes. Remittances allow better matching of incomes and spending, the misalignment of which otherwise threatens survival and/or the taking on of debt. Education In many developing countries, education is expensive at all levels, whatever the formal commitments of the State. Remittances can allow for the payment of school fees and can provide the wherewithal for children to attend school rather than working for family survival. Housing The use of remittances for the construction, upgrading and repair of houses is prominent in many widely different circumstances. Health Remittances can be employed to access preventive and ameliorative health care. As with education, affordable health care is often unavailable in many remittance recipient countries. Social spending Day-to-day needs include various social
expenditures that are culturally unavoidable. Remittances can be employed to meet marriage expenses and religious obligations and, less happily but even more unavoidable, funeral and related costs.

To dollar or other currency deposits abroad (1-2%) and they are sending their money for these higher returns. Of course, the risk is higher in Bangladesh and so it might be more Bangladeshi who are taking this risk than foreigners, but the possibility that something like this might be happening, and thus bringing in hot money which could leave the country if the underlying interest rate differentials changed or other factors changed. The risk adjusted returns, even after allowing for possibility of exchange restrictions or risk of nationalization might still be positive and Prepared By Md Elias Alam 47
Monitoring the flow 0f foreign remittance On Bangladesh the role of FSIBL significant. Another possibility. Since all foreign remittance that
Bangladesh gets is considered to be white money and there are no questions asked about source of funds, and there are no taxes on it as well, at least on entry, there might be people in Bangladesh who earn through non-documented sources evade taxes and then just whiten the money by taking it out through bangle and bringing it back as foreign currency. I. made Rs 10 million form my work in Bangladesh, but evaded paying taxes on it, which is not uncommon in Bangladesh but now need to whiten the money so that I can bring into legitimate and documented economy send the money, Through hundi, to UAE and then have it remitted back tome in dollars. I. do pay some transaction cost for it, but all of the money gets legitimacy and so the transaction cost is a small amount to pay for this whitening. Now the FBR cannot do anything about it either. If this happens the question really is about the size of such flows. How big are they and do they help us explain the growth in foreign remittance or a significant part of it? There is the further question of what impact this has on our GNP figures and so on, but that is of more academic interest and not related to the question at hand. Foreign remittance is, right now, saving us from major troubles. If our import bill starts increasing. Which can if oil prices go higher or remain high, or if our imports start picking up, then remittance flows become even more important to keep us in good stead? Given our budget. Deficits and debt stock, these flows are the main source of foreign capital for us. And remittance has been showing robust and sustained growth. But it is not clear where this growth is coming from. This is essential for us to understand if we are to figure out whether the increased flows are good for us or not and how to ensure that they continue if they are. And if they are not hypotheses but if there is any Truth to them, and that is an empirical question. This year we are expecting more than $10 billion in foreign remittance. A very large number of Bangladesh are currently working & living in countries that are not their home, and sending funds regularly back to Prepared By Md Elias Alam 48

Foreign remittance is making a huge Contribution towards macroeconomic stability, or any semblance of it, in Bangladesh currently. It is allowing us to keep foreign reserves looking ok & keeping Exchange rate steady. Right now our import bill, due to economic Slowdown, is also low & this, in addition to the remittance inflows, is giving the breathing space that we see on foreign account side. With large deficits, large debt stock, few international lenders willing to give us loans, existing IMF programmer held in abeyance, this breathing space is important. But there are interesting things to think about regarding remittance Flows as well. Remittance started increasing substantially only a few Years ago. Initially it was speculated that the significant increases in Remittance were the result of one time increases where Bangladesh were, After 9/11 & the crack down on Handy as well as harder living conditions outside of BANGLADESH, shifting back their wealth & savings to Bangladesh. This was specially the case as remittance increases even when the world Economy went into a recession. But if this was indeed the case increases in remittance should have stopped & things should have gone to pre increase days. But to the contrary, we continue to see healthy growth in remittances. This calls for some explanation and someone, State Bank research department or other macroeconomic researchers, should look into this. It is important to understand what sort of money is coming in as remittance & why because in some cases this might not be the kind of money.
BANGLADESH wants to attract too much of: if it is hot Money and is coming in for speculative reasons, for example, it could flow out as easily as well & this could get the economy in really hot waters. So we should be looking at who is sending the money, what is the source of the Bangladesh one can speculate & have hypotheses as to why this could be happening. It is not the case that the world economy has improved or there is a boom in the countries where Bangladesh live &/or a lot of new Prepared By Md Elias Alam 49

For example, in 2008, Bangladesh exported $13.97 billion worth of goods & services & in turn imported $19.59 billion worth of goods & services. This gave a deficit of $5.62 billion in Bangladesh Balance of payment (BOP). Remittance has been a key driver of economic growth & poverty reduction in Bangladesh. The migrants send back billons of dollars & the country can then use these resources for investment for industrial development, improvement of educational facilities & services & extend & improve its health services.

Recommendations
The existing credit policy is good enough to run the bank. But as the competition is increasing day by day the bank should take some measures so that they can distinguish it from the others. The credit management of First Security Islami Bank Ltd. can follow the following suggestion to improve their performance and distinguish from others: 1. Giving authority to the Branch officials to take decisions to sanction a loan. Right now, for every loan decision is made by Head office. But to faster the speed of loan sanction the branch should be authorized to take decision. 2. Rebate charge on loan should be increased so that more customers are attracted to make loan. 3. The period of loan should be extended. 4. The bank management can give permission to its branches to design or change lending products on the basis of local demand. 5. The bank should recruit some young and energetic executives to ensure timely recovery of disbursed consumer credit loan. 6. The clients of loan should be facilitated with online Banks and other benefits. 7. FSIBL should upgrade its website regularly and provide details information of loan Scheme. 8. FSIBL Bank may also promote its loan program through different advertising tools i.e. TV adds, News paper adds etc.

But if the interest rate decreases than the default loan will also decrease. 10. To risk grade the credit, the bank can follow other models besides the credit risk grading model. Because the credit risk grading model is not hundred percent up to the mark. 11. The bank management should always be concerned about the change in industry so that they can notice the change and take proper actions to adopt the situation. The credit management of Southeast Bank Ltd. can follow the abovementioned suggestion to improve their performance so that they can be competitive in the market and can gain some competitive advantage.

Even though I tried my best level to make the informative, this report contain many errors, there may be some printing mistakes no doubt for this reason I apologize.
