3.7 How to Investment is Operated in Union Bank Ltd.
The Union Bank Ltd deploys their funds as per different mode of investment financing
approved by Islamic Shari’ah. Most of the investment is on Bai-Mode. In this mode bank
sell specified goods to the clients on cost plus agreed upon profit or at a negotiable price
payable after a certain fixed periods. If the client fails to pay the price within the fixed
time the Islamic bank cannot impose additional amount as income of the bank. But
conventional banks can continue to charge interest even they can charge penal interest as
income of the bank. The other ideal modes of Union Bank Ltd are Musharaka &
Mudaraba. In Musharaka, Islamic banks share the profit/loss of the business with the
client. In Mudaraba mode Islamic bank shares the profit with the client. If any loss
accrues all the loss is born to the bank. On the other hand, the earning of the conventional
are prefixed and certain which continue till final payment. As business partners the asset
quality of Union Bank Ltd is different and better. So the classification & provisioning
rules should be separate for Union Bank Ltd. The special feature of the investment policy
of Islamic bank is to invest based on profit and loss sharing system in accordance with
the tenets and principles of Islamic Shari’ah. Earning of the profit is not only motives
and objective of Islamic investment policy rather emphasis is given in attainting social
goods and creating employment opportunities. In this view we can conclude that
investment models of Islamic banking system have distinguished features over the
conventional banking system. In conventional banking loan is garneted on the basis of
interest, which id fixed. On Islamic Banking system the investment is going on with the
profit-loss sharing system.

that the bank should try to keep it.

rate rising over the years, the bank should try to keep a steady growth rate in case
of this mode.
