ABSTRACT

Modern banking system was introduced into the Muslim countries at a time when they were
politically and economically at low ebb, in the late 19th century. With the passage of time,
however, and other socio-economic forces demanding more involvement in national economic
and financial activities, avoiding the interaction with the banks became impossible. As countries
became independent, the need to engage in banking activities became unavoidable and urgent.
Governments, businesses and individuals began to transact business with the banks, with or
without liking it. This state of affairs drew the attention and concern of Muslim intellectuals. The
story of interest-free or Islamic banking begins here. The history of interest-free banking can be
divided into two parts. First, when it still remained an idea; second, when it became a reality.
The literature of the period begins with evaluations and ends with attempts at finding ways and
means of correcting and overcoming the problems encountered by the existing banks. During the
last few decades interest-free banking attracted more attention, partly because of the political
interest it created in Pakistan and partly because of the emergence of young Muslim economists.

Meezan bank is the first Islamic bank and is therefore recognized as one of the pioneer banks
that promotes Riba-free (interest free) banking activities all over the country. The bank has
developed an extraordinary research and development capability by combining investment
bankers, commercial bankers, Shariah scholars and legal experts to develop innovative, viable,
and competitive value propositions that not only meet the requirements of today’s complex
financial world, but do so with the world-class service excellence which our customers demand,
all within the bounds of Shariah.

CHAPTER 2

INTRODUCTION TO BANKING
WHAT IS BANK?
Before going to start we must know that what is bank? Like many other subjects and social
sciences no any precise definition can be given for the study of banking also. Different authors
have defined and described this subject, keeping in view the particular functions of banking.
Mr. Paget says “No one and no body corporate can be a banker who does not open:
1 Current Account
2 Pays cheques drawn upon him
3 Collects cheques for the customers
Mr. Kinly says “Bank is an institution which receives deposits and advances loans”.
The definition laid down in the Banking Companies Act 1962 is “Bankers means a person,
transacting the business of accepting for the purpose of lending or investment, of deposits of
money from public, repayable on demand or otherwise and withdrawals by cheques, drafts or
orders or otherwise and includes any Post Office Saving Bank.”
In view of the above definitions, in simple words a bank can be defined as an institution dealing
in money, accepting deposits and advancing loans.
Definition
There are different opinions about the origin of the word “Bank”. According to some authors the

HAZARA UNIVERSITY MANSEHRA.


word bank is derived from Latin word “Bancus” or “Banque” which means a bench. The
explanation of this origin is attributed to the fact that the Jews in Lombardy transected the
business of money exchange on benches in the market place. When the business failed, the
people destroy the bench. Incidentally the word bankrupt is said to have been evolved from this
practice.

Origin:
The opponents of this opinion argue that if it was so, then how is it that the Italian
moneychangers were never called Bunchier in the middle ages. Other authorities hold the
opinion that Bank is derived from German word back which mean joint stock fund. Later on,
when the German occupied major part of Italy, the Back was italicized into Bank.

CHAPTER 3

INTRODUCTION TO ISLAMIC BANKING

3.1 Islamic Finance


Islamic finance was practiced predominantly in the Muslim world throughout the middle Ages,
fostering trade and business activities with development of credit . In Spain and the
Mediterranean and Baltic states , Islamic merchants became indispensable middleman for trading
activities. In fact European financier and businessmen later adopted many concepts, techniques,
and instruments of Islamic finance. The financial system is founded on the absolute prohibition
of the payment or receipt of any predetermined. granted rate of return .this closes the door to the
concept of interest and precludes the use of debt- based instrument . The system encourages risk
sharing promotes entrepreneurship, discourages speculative behavior, and emphasizes the
sanctity of contracts .

3.2 The Islamic Economic System


One of the forms of capitalism, which has been flourishing in non Islamic societies , is the
interest based investment . There are normally two participant in such transaction . one is the
investor who provides capital on loan and other manager who run the business . The investor has
no concern whether the business run in to profit or loss he automatically get interest .

Distribution Of Wealth
The distribution of wealth is one of most important and controversial subject concerning the
economic life of man which has given birth to global revolution in today’s world and affected
every sphere of human activity from international policies down to the private life of the
individual .

3.3 The Importance Of The Economic Goals


Islam is opposed to monasticism, and views the economic activities of man quite lawful,

HAZARA UNIVERSITY MANSEHRA.


meritorious and sometimes even obligatory and necessary . it approves of the economic progress
of man , and consider lawful or righteous livelihood an obligation of the secondary order .
Notwithstanding all thus, it is no less truth that it does not consider economic activity to be the
basic problem of man .

3.4 Capitalist View / Islamic theory :

1 Capital :

Defined as “the produced means of production” a commodity which has already


undergone one process of human production, and is again being used as a means process of
production .

2 Labor :

That is to say exertions on part of man .

3 Land :

Defined as “natural resources” those thing which are being used as means of
production without having previously undergone my process of human production .

4 Entrepreneur Or Organization:

The fourth factor that brings together the other three factors, exploits them and bears
risk of profit and loss in production .

3.5) The Islamic View :

From Islamic point of view there are two kinds of people who have right to wealth .

HAZARA UNIVERSITY MANSEHRA.


5 Those who have primary right that is to say, those who have a right to wealth directly in
consequence of participation in the production. In other words it is those very factors of
production which have taken a part in the process of producing some kind of wealth .
6 Those who have a secondary right, that is to say, those who have not taken a direct part in
the process of production, but it has been enjoined upon the producers to make them co-
sharers in their wealth .

3.6 Capital Can Be Invested In a Business Venture

1 Private Business
The man who invest capital may himself run the business without the help of any partners or
shareholders. In this case the return which he gets may be called profit from the legal or
popular point of view, but in economic terms, this reward would be made up of .
2 Profit in as much as capital has been invested .
3 Wages, as earning of management .

4 Partnership;
The second form of investment is that several persons may jointly invest capital, jointly
manage the business and jointly bear the risk of profit and loss. In the terminology of the
Fiqh, such a venture is called Shirkat-Aqd or Partnership in contract .

1 Co-operation Of Capital And Organization (Mudarabah)


The third form of investment is that one person may invest capital while another may manage
the business, and each may have a share in the in the profit . In the terminology of Fiqh, it is
called Mudarabah.The person who invest his capital Rabb-ul-Mal will get his share in the
form of profit while the person who has actually managed the business will get it in the form
of wages .

HAZARA UNIVERSITY MANSEHRA.


3.7) Riba

2 Definition of Riba
The word Riba means excess, increase or addition, which correctly interpreted according to
Shariah terminology, implies any excess compensation without due consideration .
3 This definition of Riba is derived from Quran and is unanimously accepted by all Islamic
scholars
.
4 TYPES OF RIBA
There are two types of Riba .
1. Riba An Nasiyah
2 .Riba Al Fadl
Riba An Nasiyah :
Defined as excess, which result from predetermined interest which a lender receives
over and above the principle (Ras ul Maal).

1 Riba Al Fadl :
Defined as excess compensation without any consideration resulting from a sale of goods .
Riba Al Fadl will be covered in greater detail later .

3.8) Commercial Interest And Usury :


In 17th century two new technical terms of interest emerged after the established of banking
system.

2 Tijarti Sood :
Interest paid on loan taken for productive &profitable purposes .
3 Sarfi Sood :

evidenced by timely payment of all obligations .Customers with a turnover of less than Rs.800
million in this business segment, that includes small and
medium scale enterprises (SME) . The (SME) target with an annual turnover of Rs. 300 million
and total financing is 75 million .

Consumer Finance :
Consumer Finance is responsible for managing the retail assets products of auto finance----Car
Ijarah and house mortgage ---- Easy Home . With pioneering and prime- mover initiatives in
both products, the department has now established itself on sound business infrastructures,
penetrated key market segments, and built recognizable brand identities in not only the Islamic
but the overall banking sector .
Car Ijarah application is usually processed within two days, while the document intensive and
complex process of Easy Home – home mortgage based on the concept of Diminishing
Musharakah is available in a record setting average of 15 days .

HAZARA UNIVERSITY MANSEHRA.


6.1 Treasury & Financial Institutions :
2009 was an eventful year .Rising interest rates, coupled with a freeze in the local stock
market for more than three months resulted in a severe loss of confidence and led to a liquidity
crunch in the last quarter .
Meezan Bank remained unaffected by this crises , rather becoming a formidable player in the
local money market , placing funds with major banks and non banking financial institutions
using Shariah – approved structures. Treasury was not only able to deploy its excess liquidity,
but also benefit from the SLR eligible security that was in its custody for the period .

6.2 Economic Overview:


2009 was a tumultuous year of the world financial sector , starting with Sub-prime mortgage
crisis in US that eventually led to the collapse of the financial giant Lehman Brothers and started
the biggest downturn faced by the financial industry since the Grat Depression of 1992. Relative
to this cataclysmic crisis faced by the international financial markets, the Pakistan banking sector
has remained relatively stable.
They external current account deficit grew to US$ 14 billion, equivalent to 8.4% of GDP
which is approximately three and a half percentage points higher than the initial projection for
the year 2009 and more than twice of last year’s level in absoluter terms. As a result, foreign
exchange reserve dropped sharply and the Pak Rupee depreciated buy over 30% during the year.
Initial results are satisfactory and gave stabilized the commodities, has provided significant relief
to the economy, as a result of which foreign exchange reserves are also now stable and inflation,
although still high, has also decreased to levels of around 20%

Operating Results
Despite the gloomy economic outlook, Meezan continued with its branch expansion
strategy, By the Grace of Allah, the Bank now has 166 branches located in 40 cities in Pakistan,
an addition of 66 branches including 35 sub branches during 2009, This significant achievement
of establishing an extensive network within a short span of 7 years enabled Meezan Bank to
maintain its leading position an among the Islamic Banks operating in Pakistan. As a result the

Bank was able to record strong growth in deposits, that increased by 29%-compared to the
banking sector as whole that grew by approximately 6% during the year. A grew financial

SWOT ANALYSIS

• The largest Islamic Bank in Pakistan with a network of over 204 branches in 54 cities.
And ending this year they have increase his branches in Pakistan to 280 branches.
• Strong growth of its Islamic banking SBU.

• The members of the Shariah Supervisory Board of Meezan Bank are Internationally-
renowned scholars, serving on the boards of many Islamic banks operating in different
countries.

• Meezan Providence Certificate is a long-term investment certificate specially designed to


cater to the needs of corporate and business concerns for purposes of investing their
Provident, Pension and Gratuity Funds. As any prudent investor, your main concerns
would be total security along with the best returns possible, especially as these funds are
a trust from your employees and one that bears an important responsibility.

• Karachi, August 20, 2008: Meezan Bank, the largest Islamic Bank in Pakistan has been
conferred the Best Islamic Bank Award by Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce and
Industry.

HAZARA UNIVERSITY MANSEHRA.


• Healthy working environment
• Strong shareholding

9.2 Weaknesses

• High charges for different activities such as online or Demand Draft as compared to
competitors.

• lack of promotions and advertising of their products and services.

• Lengthy & extensive documentation

• Centralized procedures making process slow

• Weak marketing strategy, Target market not identified

• Offering fewer services than the competitors

• Risk Averse, approach of Head office.

• The Islamic economic system is not something that can work in isolation of the geo-
political and legislative system, as well as, and more importantly the society's behaviors
towards the injunctions of Islamic Shariah in personal and collective matters.
Accordingly, one can easily imagine that in an economy whereby most of the
businessmen are not honest in fairly presenting the financial statements of their
businesses, how difficult it is to introduce a profit-and-loss sharing based financial
solution.

• Meezan Bank Limited has no Credit card facility

• Restricted Shariah based policies

HAZARA UNIVERSITY MANSEHRA.


9.3 Opportunities

• House financing sector can be targeted to maximize the profit.

• Growing demand of Islamic financial product and services.

• Venturing into Islamic groups out side the countries as opportunity to expand business in
UAE and Golf states. i-e financial institutions.

• Coming up with. Products for the SME to targeting the medium level customers.

• Doing business with companies having Islamic mindset. I-e Islamic financial Institutions.

• Increase branch network within the country.

9.4 Threats

• New competitors setting up their Islamic banking sections and they have the
infrastructure, skill, ability, resources & attitude to capture the market more than the
Meezan bank.

• High Interest Rate from SBP

• SBP has not special policy regarding Islamic Banking.

• Disassociation of Maulana Taqi Usmani from the Shariah advisory board of Meezan
Bank.

• Govt. policies are mostly for conventional banking system not for specially designed for
Islamic banking.

• Change in Government's attitude towards Islamic banking.

• Fears on the credibility of Islamic banking ethical compliance and monitoring systems.

HAZARA UNIVERSITY MANSEHRA.


Reviewing this SWOT analysis from time to time would help evaluate the bank's position. It
would help the management in comparing their strengths of the past with those of the present and
to what extent the management has been able to overcome the weaknesses.

One of the most important aims of the student life is to express him / her correctly and
adequately. This was believed in my mind when I first decided to go to Islamic Meezan Bank
Limited to complete my internship program.

The organization has been not growing both in size and profit for past few years and
but repute in the market is good. The employee turnover is very high which they have to cut
down as they are losing a number of good trained employees due to its poor policy. The year
2008 is expected to offer increased competition in the secured assets business as more Islamic
banks are in the market. With their focused strategy and product development initiatives planned
for the year, Meezan Bank is strongly positioned to meet these challenges. The bank has very
well repute in the market. Overall bank is going well and doing a good business but there are few
problems for that I have tried to give few recommendations that might help company to improve.
So finally this internship program has helped me a lot in gaining practical knowledge of job that
will help me in the practical life once I complete my BBA.

CHAPTER 11

RECOMMENDATIONS

On the basis of my experience with bank during the course of internship, I recommend following
suggestions:

11.1 PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL:

In the case of performance appraisal, management should evaluate the performance of the
employees on merit and recommend their increments and promotions only on the basis of real
performance. Employees should be treated unbiased and appraisal should be performance based
not favoritism and likeness based. This not only appreciates the employee but also improves his
work and satisfaction, his practice will surely encourage and motivate the employees for
improving their individual performances, which will lead towards overall improve in the
situation.

11.2 PROPER JOB ROTATION:

Employees should be rotated after certain periods in order to enhance their capabilities and make
them able to compete in the changing environment of the market. In this way, they will feel
interested during working in different departments. The best way to improve employee’s
performance is to revolve them within organization often a specified period of time. They will
not only have leaning and training opportunities butt also they feel attractiveness in doing new
job and his performance improves.

11.3 FAIR BENEFITS:

Although most of the employees are unsatisfied but even then turnover rate is low. This is due to
the reason that some of them are on contractual bases so that they cannot avail market offered
opportunities. On the other side they may not be getting better opportunities. Although the return
is low for them yet it is reasonable, that’s why they are still hero. They should be awarded with
more benefits to improve their performance and overall productivity, as satisfaction of internal
customers leads towards satisfaction of external employees.

11.4 OVER LOAD OF WORK:

The problem, which I have noticed faced by the employees in absence of an employee, can be
removed by hiring two employees in each department. In absence of any of the employee other
will be able to do whole work and employee from other department have not to interfere in this
department This will decrease over load of work.
Problem of shortage of employees can also be removed by adopting the above- mentioned
recommendation.

11.5 CREDIBILITY OF CUSTMERS:

Cheques, which are drawn on Meezan Bank branch and returned unpaid in clearing, are not
reflected in the statement of account of the customers. These cheques must be reflected in the
accounts so that credibility of the customers may be assessed.

11.6 CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP:

Knowing the customers and their needs is the key to business success. By attitude the manager
can improve the relationship with the customers. By having the understanding, what a customer
wants, the manager can improve the relationship with the customers.

Meezan Bank should understand that the commitment to satisfy customer’s needs must be
fulfilled within a professional and ethical framework. They should observe a culture of high
ethical standards, based upon development of right attitude.
Although Meezan Bank has been improving its corporate behavior, even then they should
continue their effort for better corporate behavior. There is a need of improving customer
relations in Meezan Bank. For attitude improvement special courses should be arranged under
specialized teachers, through lectures, seminars and other interactive techniques. It will cost the
bank but will be more profitable for the bank in the long run.
11.7 EMPOWERMENT OF EMPLOYEES:

Commitment is a function of empowerment down the line, therefore, the future of Meezan Bank
lies in the fact that they should remain committed and necessary empowerment should flow
regularly to lower levels of hierarchy, so that the performance delivery is made more flexible.
With the empowerment of lower level employees they will feel secure in the organization and
they will work with devotion for the betterment of the organization.

11.8 MARKETING CULTURE:

The employees should be given special training for marketing. Proper action should be taken for
marketing so that the increased sale of different products will result in increase of the profit of
the bank. The employees of the bank should be trained with the basic concepts of the marketing
under the guidance of the experts.

11.9 HEALTHY ACTIVITIES:

There is lack of healthy and entertainment activities like excursions on weekend, parties and
other important days, celebration in their tidy life. Such activities should be encouraged at once
in a month.

FINDINGS:-

Meezan Bank Limited provides so much facilities to their customers but some problems also
arise with these facilities.
1) Space of the bank is very limited.
2) Generator is available but its not working due to which the problem of light arise and due
to which the working of the bank stop and customer faced so much problems.
3) UPS is also available but it work hardly for 2 min’s.
4) Parking area is not available for both customers and employees.
5) Water problems.
SUGGESTION

should maintain their electric problem.
3) There should be proper parking system for employees and customer.
4) As it is well know organization a minor problem like availability of drinking water
should not be there.
