INTRODUCTION OF SECTOR
Evolution of Banking
It has not so far been decided as to how the word ‘bank’ originated. Some authors say
that this word is derived from the word ‘bancues’ or ‘banque’ which mean a bench. The
explanation of this origin is attributed to the fact that the Jews in Lombardy transacted the
business of money exchange on benches in the market-place; and when the business
failed, the ‘banco’ was destroyed by the people incidentally the word ‘bankrupt’ is said
to have been evolved from this practice the opponents on this opinion argue that if it was
so, then how is it that the Italians money changer were never called ‘Banchierei’ in the
middle ages?
Other authorities hold the opinion that the word ‘bank’ is derived from the German word
‘back’ which means ‘joint stock fund’. Latter on when the Germans occupied major part
of Italy the word ‘back’ was Italianized into ‘bank’.
The term bank is being used for a long time yet it has no precise definition. The basic
reason is that the banks perform not just one but many types of functions. Originally the
banks were supposed to make short term loans to the traders only. The banks now not
only make short term loans to the formers, traders, industrialist etc. But also invest in a
wide variety of long term earning assets.
Modern Banking
Banking in its modern form and structure stared in Britain when many of the Lombardy
merchants came to England in the fourteenth century and settled in the parts of the city of
the London now called Lombard Street.
The king Edward –III established the Office of Royal Exchanger for changing foreign
money at a profit for the benefit of the Crown
In 1854 the joint Stock Companies Act opened an era of corporations; and the
Limited
Liability Act, 1855, restricted the liability of the share holder of the limited company.

5. Agriculture bank.
6. Investment bank
7. Saving bank.
Central Bank
The first central bank was Riksbank of Sweden established in 1668. This bank is leader of
all other banks. It does not compete for the profit.
Every country has its central bank or state bank. Its major function is to carry out a
country’s monetary policy with an aim to safeguard its financial and economic stability. It
has the monopoly of note issue. It is also the custodian of money market. State bank is the
bank and lender to the government.
The first commercial bank was the Bank of Venus which was established in 1771 in Italy.
Commercial banks are profit earning concerns. They receive deposits and advance loans
to the borrows. They greatly help in financing for internal and external trade of the
country. The commercial banks received deposits from the general public, which are
repayable on demand upon written orders of the depositors. As their most distinctive
feature the commercial banks maintain the checking accounts for the constitutions.
The commercial banks are also distinguished for providing short-term finance to trade,
commerce and industry to enable these sectors to expand their productive activities
Exchange Banks
The main function of the exchange bank is to finance the foreign trade by the purchase
and sale of foreign currencies in the form of drafts, bills of exchange, telegraphic
transfers. They also perform the function of commercial bank. Receiving deposits and
advancing loans.
Industrial Banks
During the late 18th and early 19th centuries the trade between countries was financed by
bill of exchange by well-reputed merchant’s houses for which they would charges a
commission for their services Commercial bank cannot afford to block their funds in long
term investments. The industrial banks receive long term deposits and finance the
industries by providing them long term credits. In Pakistan the Industrial bank named as
Industrial Development Bank of Pakistan (I.D.B.P) was established in 1961 for this
purpose.
Agricultural Banks
Agricultural bank provides short and long period loans for financing agriculture. The
agriculturists need short and long term loans for meeting their day to day and long term
requirements for making permanent improvement in the land. In Pakistan Agricultural
Bank is named as Agricultural Development bank of Pakistan (A.D.B.P) and it was
established in 1961
Investment Banks
These banks assists business houses and governmental bodies to raise money through the
sale of stocks and bond for usually long term purposes these banks perform the usual
functions of raising deposits of idle money from the public and finance the business
houses other bodies.
These are the institutions which are sponsored by the government for having facilities to
the people and small means. These banks collect small saving of people and allow them
to withdraw in small amounts. Also another institution i.e. National Savings is working in
the same capacity. The basic purpose of these banks is to inculcate the habit of saving in
the people. The savings banks deposits are not repayable upon only the written order of
depositor but the depositor of his agent has to appear personally at the saving banks to
make withdrawal and for this purpose he must present a pass book a certificate of deposit
or some similar documents to prove his right to receive his payments. Post office savings
banks and savings accounts at national saving organizations are well known national
saving banks in Pakistan.
Banking is the business of providing financial services to consumers and businesses. The
basic services a bank provides are checking accounts, which can be used like money to
make payments and purchase goods and services; savings accounts and time deposits that
can be used to save money for future use; loans that consumers and businesses can use to
purchase goods and services; and basic cash management services such as check cashing
and foreign currency exchange. Four types of banks specialize in offering these basic
banking services: commercial banks, savings and loan associations, savings banks, and
credit unions. A broader definition of a bank is any financial institution that receives,
collects, transfers, pays, exchanges, lends, invests, or safeguards money for its customers.
This broader definition includes many other financial institutions that are not usually
thought of as banks but which nevertheless provide one or more of these broadly defined
banking services. These institutions include finance companies, investment companies,
investment banks, insurance companies, pension funds, security brokers and dealers,
mortgage companies and real-estate investment trusts
Importance of Banks
The book keeping details of banks and loans are rarely exciting and often confusing but
they of demonstrate convincingly that banks can create money. This implies that banks
must have some direct influence on economic activity because all of our market
transactions involve the use of money. Now, the question arises how the bank can help in
creating money. This can be easily explained with the help of the core concept of basic
money supply. Money supply is equal to the cash prevailing in the economy and the sum
of checking accounts and traveler cheque etc. We know that banks have a required
reservation applicable in their advancing of money. By the concept of advancing money
up till the level of required reserves, banks can more advances than their deposits. In this
way they increase the money supply.
The importance of banks also becomes clear when they are used as a medium of low risk
transactions of money. With the help of banking system, you can transfer your money by
sitting in Multan to a person in New York. All the commercial banks functions that have
been discussed previously add to the reporters of the banks in general and commercial
banks in specific.
The Hindus in order to ruin the economy of the newly born State closed down most of the
head offices and the branches of scheduled and non-scheduled banks in Pakistan. The
number of scheduled bank’s branches was reduced from 619 to 213 in both the wings of
the country after independence. The non-scheduled banks also suffered a severe jolt and
their number was reduced from 411 to 106 over the same period. West Pakistan from
where there was greater exodus of non-Muslims to India suffered a great deal, as a
number of branches fell down (from 487 to 69). In the East Pakistan though the number
of branches were not closed in such a great number as in West Pakistan, large portion of
the deposits were with drawn from the banks and transferred to India by the non Muslims.
The mass scale closure of branches and withdrawal of the deposits caused a dead lock in
the banking business in Pakistan. The government of Pakistan was quite aware of the
serious banking situation caused by the withdrawal of deposits and wholesale migration
of banking staffs to India. It took up the challenge and started reorganizing the crippled
banking immediately after partition. A moratorium of free months was also allowed to
banks that had financial difficulty due to sudden withdrawal of deposits.
Each bank has to open at least one central office in Pakistan where it could consolidate
work of all its branches and start paying out to depositors. The government took some
effective measures for providing banking training facilities to Muslims. There were some
complaints that Hindu banks were not honoring the cheques of Pakistani national and
were also refusing to give securities kept in their custody.
An inter dominion agreement was reached between India and Pakistan in April 1949. The
main provisions of the agreement were as under: The inter dominion agreement could
not be fully imported. India delayed the transfer of Muslim deposits to Pakistan. The non-
devaluations decision of Pakistan government further led to the suspension of remittance
facilities through normal banking channels. Due to panicky withdrawal of deposits; some
banks went into liquidation and the payments could not be made to the depositors.
• The State Bank of Pakistan, which is the central bank of the country, was established
in July 1948.
• The National Bank of Pakistan was established on 1949, to serve as an agent to the
SBP.
• The Industrial Development Bank of Pakistan was set up on August 1, 1961 with a
Paid up Capital of Rs; five crore. The Agricultural Development Bank of Pakistan
(ADBP) was set up in 1961. It provides short, medium and long term loans to the
farmers. In Jan, 1974 the entire commercial banks were nationalized. The weaker
commercial banks were merged with the stronger once and in all five major banking
companies were formed. MCB and ABL have again been privatized.
• Pakistan banking council was set up for coordinating the activities of the nationalized
commercial banks. The banking council formulates the policies and guidelines for the
banks.
• Interest has been eliminated from the banking transaction from July 1, 1985. The
banks are now accepting saving deposits on Profit and Loss sharing bases. Modaraba
and Leasing Companies are also operating in Pakistan.
• The banks nationalized, due to weaknesses such as over staffing, deterioration in
customer services, raising bad debts, loan on political bases etc, are being gradually
denationalized. MCB was privatized in April 1991. The shares of ABL have also been
sold to its 7500 workers. Permission to open ten banks in the private sector has also
been given.
• The permission to open an Investment bank has also been given. It will go a long way
is providing capital for the industrial projects.
• The government of Pakistan has also liberalized the exchange and payment
procedure. The Pakistani firms and companies can now maintain Foreign Currency
accounts in Pakistan on the same bases as known Pakistanis.
Introduction
An Islamic bank is a financial institution that operates the objective to implement and
materialize the economic and financial principles of Islam in the banking area.
The organization of Islamic conference (OIC) defines Islamic bank as “a financial
institution whose rules status and procedures expressly states 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 1983 of Malaysia an Islamic bank is a “company which
caries on Islamic business… Islamic banking business means banking business whose
aims and operations do not involve any element which is not approved by the religion
Islam.”
Objectives
The objective of Islamic banking is not only to earn profit, but to do good and bring
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 good of the society.
Islamic banks operate on Islamic principles of profit and loss sharing and other approved
modes of investment. Its strictly avoid interest which is the root of all exploitation and is
responsible for large scale inflation and unemployment.
An Islamic bank is committed to do away with disparity and establish justice in the
economy, trade, commerce and industry; build socio economic infrastructure and create
employment opportunities.
The history of Islamic banking can be divided in to two parts. First when it still remained
an idea second- When it remained a reality- by private initiative in some counties and by
law in others.
The scholar of recent past early fifties started writing for Islamic banking in place of
interest free banking. In the next two decades Islamic banking attracted more attention.
Early seventies saw the institutional environment conference of the finance ministers of
Islamic countries was held. The involvement of institutions and government led to the
The first private Islamic bank, the “Dubai Islamic bank” was also setup in 1975 by a
group of Muslim businessmen from several countries. Two more private banks were
founded in 1977 under the name of Faisal Islamic bank in Egypt and Sudan. In the same
year the Kuwaiti governments setup the Kuwait finance house.
In the ten years since the establishment of the first private commercial bank in Dubai,
more than 50 Islamic banks have coming into being. Though nearly all of them are in
Muslim countries, there are some in Western Europe as well: in Denmark, Luxemburg,
Switzerland and the united kingdom.
In most countries the establishment of Islamic banking had been by private initiative and
was confined to that bank. In Iran and Pakistan, however, it was by government initiative
and covered all banks in the country. The governments in both these countries took steps
in 1981 to introduce Islamic banking.
49. Yemen.
Most of the Islamic Banks operate on Bai- Murabaha, Bai Muazzal, Bai- Salam, Istisna,
Hire Purchase/ Leasing mode of Investment i.e. Islamic Banks always prefer to run on
markup/ guaranteed profit basis having Shariah coverage. For this reason some times the
conventional Economists and General people failed to understand the real difference
between Islamic Banking and conventional Banking.
Mudaraba and Musharaka modes of Investment are ideal but Islamic Banks are not going
in these two modes, the reasons for the above are as follows: There is no systemic
analysis and research and no real efforts to introduce above mentioned two modes but the
practitioners blame the following factors:-
a) There is lack of committed entrepreneur
b) There is lack of committed professional who can create new
c) Instruments.
d) There is lack of committed sponsors who can pressurize the professionals
e) There is shortage of skilled professionals.
Due to the restrictions of Shariah we can not cover the risk of Exchange fluctuation by
forward contract as Forward Booking is not permitted by Shariah. As per Shariah,
currency, transaction is to be made under certain terms and conditions laid down for
“sarf” by Shariah, such as spot possession of both the currencies by both the parties
which is not available in forward Booking. It is also prohibited to deal in the forward
money market even if the purpose is hedging to avoid loss of profit on a particular
transaction effected in a currency whose value is expected to be declined. This problem
requires a solution by Shariah experts.
This is another problem of Islamic Bank where the exporters immediately after export of
the goods approach to the bank for fund before maturity of the bills to meet their daily
needs. Here the Bank has to deploy billions of Taka each year but how and on what mode
of investment? The Bank can not take anything by providing fund to the exporter except
collection fee for collection of the Bill, which is very poor.
The first problem is that despite the growth of Islamic banks over the last 30 years, many
people in the Muslim and non-Muslim world do not understand what Islamic banking
actually is. The basic principle is clear, that it is contrary to Islamic law to make money
out of money and that wealth should accumulate from trade and ownership of real assets.
However, there does not appear to be a single definition of what is or not an Islamic-
banking product; or there is not a single definition of Islamic banking. A major issue here
is that it is the Shariah Councils or Boards at individual Islamic banks that actually define
what is and what not Islamic banking is, and what is and what is not the acceptable way
to do business, which in turn can complicate assessment of risk for both the bank and its
customer.
Portfolio Management:
The behavior of economic agents in any country is determined partly by past experience
and present constraints. The Islamic banks are still growing in experience in many
countries. Regarding constraints, Islamic banks in different countries do not freely choose
arrangements, which best suit, their need. As a result, their activities are not demand-
oriented and do not react flexibly to structural shifts in the economic setting as well as to
changes in preferences It is known to the bank management that a certain portion of the
short-term fund is normally not withdrawn at maturity; these funds are used for medium
or long-term financing. However, a precondition for this maturity transformation is that
the bank be able to obtain liquidity from external sources in case or unexpected
withdrawals.
The relationship between Islamic banks and monetary authorities is a delicate one. The
central bank exercises authority over Islamic banks under laws and regulations
engineered to control and supervise both traditional banks. Whatever the goals and
functions are, Islamic banks came into existence in an environment where the laws,
institutions training and attitude are set to serve an economy based on the principles of
interest.
Many Islamic banks lack liquidity instruments such as treasury bills and other marketable
securities, which could be utilized either to cover liquidity shortages or to manage excess
liquidity. This problem is aggravated since many Islamic banks work under operational
procedures different from those of the central banks; the resulting non-compatibility
prevents the central banks from controlling or giving support to Islamic banks if a
liquidity gap should occur. So the issue of liquidity management must come under active
discussion and scrutiny by the authorities involved is Islamic banking.
Many Islamic banks do not have the diversity of products essential to satisfy the growing
need of their clients. The importance of using proper advanced technology in upgrading
the acceptability of a product and diversifying its application cannot be over emphasized.
Given the potentiality of advanced technology, Islamic banks must have to come to terms
with rapid changes in technology, and redesign the management and decision-making
structures and, above, all introduce modern technology in its operations. \
The need for professional bankers or managers for Islamic banks cannot be over
emphasized. Some banks are currently run by direct involvement of the owner himself, or
by managers who have not had much exposure to Islamic banking activities, nor are
conversant with conventional banking methods. Consequently, many Islamic banks are
not able to face challenges and stiff competition. There is a need to institute
professionalism in banking practice to enhance management capacity by competent
bankers committed to their profession. Because, the professionals working in Islamic
banking system have to face bigger challenge, as they must have a better understanding of
industry, technology and the management of the business venture they entrust to their
clients.
INTRODUCTION OF ORGANIZATION
278. “O ye who believe! Fear Allah, and give up what remains of your demand for
usury, if ye are Indeed believers”
279. “If ye do not, take notice of war from Allah and His Messenger: but if ye
repent, ye shall have your capital sums; neither will you deal with others unjustly,
nor shall you be dealt with unjustly”
Riba gives birth to an economic system that is unjust; one that favors the rich at the
expense of the poor. Rather than reward for effort and entrepreneurship with profit.
Islamic Finance attempts to create a fair economic system. It works on the principle of
profit and loss sharing.
Islamic banks enter into trade and investment to earn Halal profit as they neither take
deposits/funds on interest nor do they advance loans on interest. They have to purchase
and sell assets in order to make profit from the higher sale prices or enter into investment
arena. The most common sale contracts used by Islamic banks are Murabaha, Salam,
Istisna, sale on deferred payment basis while Ijara is the sale of the usufruct of an asset
owned by the bank. For investment, the Islamic banks have Mudaraba, Musharaka and
Wakala structures.

Features:
All human beings are invariably exposed to the likelihood of meeting catastrophes and
disasters giving rise to misfortunes and sufferings such as death, loss of limbs, accident,
destruction of business or wealth, etc. Notwithstanding belief of all Muslims in Allah and
Qadha-o-Qadr, Islam provides that one must find ways and means to avoid such
catastrophe and disaster wherever possible, and to lighten his or his family's burden
should such event occur. One possible resort in this contest is insurance cover as
available in the conventional system.
Different views have been expressed about the status of conventional insurance from the
point of view of Islam. An overwhelming majority of the Shariah scholars believe that it
is unlawful due to involvement of Riba (interest), Maisir (gambling) and Gharar
(uncertainty).@ As such, a consensus has been evolved about its prohibition in the light of
the principles of the Shariah.
Takaful, Islamic alternative to insurance is based on the concept of social solidarity,
cooperation and mutual indemnification of losses of members. It is a pact among group
members who agree to jointly indemnify the loss or damage that may inflict upon any of
them out of the funds they donate collectively. As per practice of the Takaful companies,
a part of contributions (premiums) under Takaful system falls under the category of
donation in order to spread liability with the objective of common good. The remaining
part of the premium is given on the basis of Mudaraba. Therefore, structure of Takaful
that comprises the contracts of Mudarabah, Tabarru´ (to donate for benefit of others) and
mutual sharing of losses, is made so as to eliminate the element of absolute uncertainty so
far as determination of contributions is concerned. There would be some uncertainty in
even Takaful system but that would be of commercial nature pertaining to the result of
the business conducted by the company. As such there could be only Gharar-e-Yaseer -
greatly minimized and, therefore, acceptable from Shariah standard.
Takaful is not a new concept in Islamic commercial law. Islam accepts the right of
human beings to protect their religion (belief), life, dignitary and honour, property and the
talent. The contemporary jurists acknowledge that the principle of shared responsibility in
the system of ‘Aaqilah’ (kins or the persons of relationship) laid the foundation of
Takaful. Mutual help and indemnification was a custom in some tribes at the time of the
Holy Prophet (pbuh). In case of any natural calamity, every body used to contribute

Islamic banking is a very young concept. Yet it has already been implemented as the only
system in two Muslim countries; there are Islamic banks in many Muslim countries and a
few in non-Muslim countries as well. Despite the successful acceptance there are
problems. These problems are mainly in the area of financing.
With only minor changes in their practices, Islamic banks can get rid of all their
cumbersome, burdensome and sometimes doubtful forms of financing and offer a clean
and efficient interest-free banking. All the necessary ingredients are already there. The
modified system will make use of only two forms of financing loans with a service charge
and Mudaraba participatory financing both of which are fully accepted by all Muslim
writers on the subject.
Such a system will offer an effective banking system where Islamic banking is obligatory
and a powerful alternative to conventional banking where both co-exist. Additionally,
such a system will have no problem in obtaining authorization to operate in non-Muslim
countries.
Participatory financing is a unique feature of Islamic banking, and can offer responsible
financing to socially and economically relevant development projects. This is an
additional service Islamic banks offer over and above the traditional services provided by
conventional commercial banks.
