SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENTIt is observed that Murabaha occupied 56 of total financing where Hire Purchase under Shirkatul Melk has 32in the year 2011 It is to state that the early financing mode of all Islamic banks Musharakah due to experiencing some bad occurrences in this mode
has near to 0 investment by the bank where Murabaha Shows steady rate of volume in investment portfolio 55 of total investment HPSM is another preferable mode by the bank at present
Source Annual report of 2008200920102011
The Shariah pre requirements for trading in goods and services are as follows 1 It is required that the parties to a transaction are of sound mind and that they decide to enter into a trade by free will without any coercion2 The object of sale must be halal and it must be in existence or ordinarily available in the market at the time of sale 3 The seller must own the object of sale before it is sold and delivered to a purchasing party4 An unambiguous price must be mutually agreed and paid by the purchaser to conclude the sale
Considering the above requirements it is clear that the most important requirement for trading in goods and services is that the seller must own what they sell to another party Hence in the above-mentioned Murabaha-based financing the real requirement for the financing party is to own and then sell the asset to the customer The duration of ownership is not a shariah concern rather it

should be an economic decision For a trader the less time an item spends in the inventory the more efficient the trade
Fig Investment in different sub-modes of Murabaha
Here in the figure the proportionate investment to different modes under Murabaha where Bai-Muazzal under Murabaha shows higher percentage almost 80 of total investment by SIBL
61 Steps of Murabaha Investment
In the light of the aforementioned principles in the earlier chapters SIBL use the Murabaha as a mode of finance by adopting the following procedure
STEP 1 CLIENT AND BANK SIGN AN AGREEMENT TO ENTER INTO MURABAHA
The client and the Bank sign an over-all agreement whereby the institution promises to sell and the client promises to buy the commodities from time to time on an agreed ratio of profit added to the cost This agreement may specify the limit up to which the facility may be availed

[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
STEP 2 CLIENT APPOINTED AS AGENT TO PURCHASE GOODS ON BANKrsquoS BEHALF
When the customer requires a specific commodity the bank appoints the client as his agent for purchasing the commodity on its behalf and both the parties sign an agreement of agency
STEP 3 BANK GIVES MONEY TO AGENT FOR PURCHASE OF GOODS
The client purchases the commodity on behalf of the institution and takes its possession as an agent of the institution

[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
STEP 4 CLIENT MAKES AN OFFER TO PURCHASE THE GOODS FROM BANK
The client informs the bank that he has purchased the commodity on his behalf and at the same time makes an offer to purchase it from the institution
STEP 5 BANK ACCEPTS THE OFFER AND SALE IS CONCLUDED
The institution accepts the offer and the sale is concluded whereby the ownership as well as the risk of the commodity is transferred to the client
All these five stages are necessary to effect a valid Murabaha If the institution purchases the commodity directly from the supplier (which is preferable) it does not need any agency agreement In this case the second phase will be dropped and at the third stage the institution itself will purchase the commodity from the supplier and the fourth phase will be restricted to making an offer by the client
This is the only feature of Murabaha which can distinguish it from an interest-based transaction Therefore it must be observed with due diligence at all costs otherwise the Murabaha transaction becomes invalid according to Shariah
Different Capacities at Different Steps
At the 1st step understanding of sale and purchase At the 2nd and 3rd steps Relation of principle and agent At the 4th step Relation between the bank and the supplier is that of a buyer and seller

At the 4th and 5th steps Relation of buyer and seller comes into operation between the bank and the client The relation between bank and client is that of debtor and creditor
General Mechanics
Fig Mechanics of Murabaha
The customer approaches the Bank with the request for financing The Bank purchases and receives title of ownership from the Supplier The Bank makes payment to the Supplier The Bank transfers the title over to the customer upon payment The customer makes payment up-front or on a deferred basis
62 Transaction Hierarchy of Murabaha by SIBL
To do a Murabaha transaction the following hierarchy must be insured for fulfilling shariah compliance
1 Murabaha facility agreement2 Purchase requisition order3 Purchase advise4 Information Memorandumdeclaration5 Offer amp acceptance for Murabaha
1 Murabaha Facility Agreement
Purpose
Since conventional bank allow cash financerunning financedemand finance as one year short term loan facilities thus Islamic bank hence SIBL is also required to satisfy that financing limit is available to the customer
SIBL has to prove that the bank deals as financial intermediaries
Party Relationship
Shariah status bilateral promise to witness that bank promised with the customer to ldquofinancerdquo raw material tradable goods to the customer
Bankrsquos Status
Promisor
65 | P a g e
Supplier SIBL Customer
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
Customerrsquos Status
Promisee
Risk Involved
In the absence of any financing agreement ie Murabaha facility agreement the SBP auditors will deem the sale purchase of goods between the bank amp customer as trading has been carried out by SIBL as trader
a Many terms amp conditions need to linked out for examplei Maximum amount of finance available to the customer to maximum
extent of annual raw materialtradable goodsii Maximum tenure of each Murabaha contract needs to be agreed upon
Almost all Islamic banks do not allow Murabaha beyond 180 days tenure The reason being Murabaha contract selling price consist of cost amp profit Once the selling price is fixed cannot be changed
Risk Mitigation
SIBL should execute agency agreement first amp simultaneously Murabaha facility agreement with sanction advice offer letter should be subject to the execution of both above said agreement
2 Purchase Requisition Order
Purpose
To confirm that agent requires purposing some specific goods mention on purchase requisition thus SIBL become able to know what goods are going to be purchased by agent
Party Relationship
SIBL is the principal amp client is agent
Status of Relationship
Agency
Risk Involved
If purchase requisition or purchase order is not submitted by the agent ldquoin timerdquo there is a risk that SIBL may be classified as ldquoacting against lawrdquo This create the difference that the commercial bank not to act as trading house amp if SIBL does not receive any purchase order from the customer as agent and goods are purchased then Islamic Shariah is violated by the bank
Risk Mitigation
66 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
In case of finance related business purchase order application received by SIBL
3 Purchase Advice
Purpose
To restrain the agent to purchase goods without principal authority
Party relationship
SIBL is the principal amp client is agent
Status of Relationship
Agency
Risk Involved
If purchase advice is not issued by SIBL in time before purchase of goods the agent by issuing just a purchase requisition order may purchase some dangerous goods which risk is borne by SIBL
Risk Mitigation
SIBL should issue purchase advice before the goods are purchased by the bank
4 Information MemorandumDeclaration
Purpose
To bind the agent to inform the principal immediately after the goods are possessed by the agent
Party Relationship
SIBL is the principal amp client is agent
Status of Relationship
Agency
Risk Involved
If information memorandum declaration is not issued ldquoin timerdquo immediately after the goods possessed by the agent the goods may be consumed by the agent in its
67 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
possession before the information memorandum declaration is issued by the agent thus once the goods have been consumed that do not exist accordingly consequently no sale purchase of such goods can be executed which do not exist however by neglecting this Shariah principal any act for the sale purchase of such goods will render such type of sale as void
Risk Mitigation
SIBL Compute average raw material consumption period in term of days for each respective client
= Average stock or stock value at any particular point in time
Average consumption of raw material per day
For example
45 days= x
842000360
x = BDT 103808
This 45 days period will be become bench mark under which SIBLrsquos concerned officer must take information memorandum declaration from the agent
However there should be a concrete product policy to monitor thata In case of locally manufactured goods there should not be lapse of 15 days
from the date the pay order demand draft is issued by the bank and declaration is issued by agent
b In case of imported goods there should be 15 days from the date the LC is established by the bank as opening issuing applicant bank amp information memorandum declaration is issued by the agent
5 Offer amp Acceptance For Murabaha
Purpose
To execute sale purchase between the bank amp client for the goods possessed by client as agent of bank
Relationship
Bank is the seller amp client is buyer
Risk Involved
68 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
If sale is not executed in time then bank involve in a risk of executing Murabaha contract for the goods which does not exist The reason being the client feels comfort while consuming the goods in its possession that the issuance of information memorandumdeclaration was the enough sufficient document to consume the goods
Further normally bank wait for receiving of commercial invoicesale tax invoice as an evidence of ownership to execute sale of Murabaha with the customer
Any other document which proves that ownership has been taken by the bank should be used to avoid ldquovoidrdquo contract of Murabaha Such documents in case of local manufactured goods are
a Railwaytruck receipt b Goods dispatch note issued by supplierc Goods received note being prepared at client premises
Whereas in case of import goods receiving of bill of lading is a first class document evidenced the ownership of bank
There are two kinds of possessiona Physicalb Constructive
through this kind of possession over goods is taken through a documents evidencing the transfer of ownership
Risk Mitigation
Immediately after receiving the information memorandumdeclaration from the client Murabaha contract should be executed on the same day based on constructive possession now on this stage following conditions of a valid sale are fulfilled
69 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
Condition of valid sales Parties to the contract for making offer amp acceptance Ownership of the subject matter with the seller Possession over the goods must be with the owner of the goods physical or constructive
(free charge having full information that there is no claim of ant third party over the goods like Mortgage pledge hypothecation charge)Price (saman) Lawful Consideration
63 Murabaha Documentation by SIBL
There are a number of documents involved in a Murabaha financing transaction The most essential of these documents that is produced by SIBL are
Master Murabaha Finance Agreement (MMFA)
Agency Agreement
Order Form
Summary Payment Schedule
Declaration
Master Murabaha Finance Agreement
Itrsquos an agreement between the client and the bank whereby the client agrees to purchase goods from the bank from time to time as per the terms and conditions of this agreement
MMFA is an over all facility agreement under which various Sub-Murabaha may be executed from time to time Hence it needs to be signed once at the time the facility is sanctioned
Agency Agreement
The client is appointed by the bank as its agent to purchase goods This agreement needs to be signed once between the client and the bank The disbursement of funds is done under this agreement Client needs to fill out the list of assets which it will purchase
Order Form Summary Payment Schedule
These documents are required for ach disbursement Sub-Murabaha tranche
Declaration
Declaration is to be signed by the customer immediately after it has purchased the goods This document establishes the actual sale transaction i-e transfer of ownership of goods from the bank to the customer At this stage the specific details of the assets must be known i-e quantity quality etc proper timing of declaration is extremely important

64 Practical Issues in Murabaha-Observation from SIBL
1 Timing of lsquoOffer amp Acceptancersquo
2 Rollover in Murabaha
3 Rebate on Early payment
4 Penalty in Late payment
5 Subject Matter
6 Purchase Evidence
7 Direct Payment
8 Profit recognition
9 Training of Customer amp Bank staff
10 Process of Murabaha differ from product to products
1 Timing of lsquoOffer amp Acceptancersquo
bull A Murabaha financing arrangement consists of a series of documents to be executed at various stages the sequence and timing of which is extremely important
bull Through this client and the bank execute an important step of a valid Murabaha sale ie Offer amp Acceptance
bull This is to be signed by the customer when it has purchased and taken possession of the goods as the Bankrsquos agent
bull Offer amp Acceptance must be signed while the goods are still in existence and have not been used in the production process or sold to some other entity
2 Rollover in Murabaha
bull Rollover in Murabaha is not allowed since each Murabaha transaction is for the purchase of a particular asset A new Murabaha can only be executed for the purchase of new assets
bull It is advisable that whenever practicable there must be a gap of 1-2 days between maturity of the previous Murabaha and disbursement of the new one
3 Rebate on Early Payments
bull If the customer makes early payment and there is no commitment from the institution in respect of any discount in the price of Murabaha than the institution has the sole discretion in allowing them the rebate
71 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
bull It is not recommended to make it a practice and must be avoided in normal course of business Such issue if arises should be brought in the knowledge of Shariah advisor
4 Penalty on Late Payments
bull As soon as the Murabaha is executed the Murabaha price becomes a receivable for the Bank Hence any amount charged over and above the amount will be Riba
bull However it is permissible to have an undertaking from the customer to pay an amount of money or a percentage of the debt to be donated to charitable causes in the event of delay in paymentinstalments
5 Subject Matter of Murabaha
bull Goods must exist at the time of execution of Murabaha
bull Murabaha cannot be done in all commodities eg such as currencies gold silver
bull Murabaha cannot be used for paying utility bills wages overhead expenses etc
bull General rules of sale related to subject matter must be followed
6 Purchase Evidence
bull In order to ensure that the customer actually purchased the assets as claimed the customer is required to submit asset purchase evidence along with Offer amp Acceptance
bull The purchase evidence must confirm that the asset purchase took place after the agency agreement
bull Asset purchase may be in the form of Invoices delivery orders truck receipts etc
6 Purchase Evidence
bull In some cases however it may be too burdensome for the client to submit all the invoices as the number of invoices may run into hundreds
bull For example cotton purchases are generally in small quantities from various sources and hence for each Sub-Murabaha there may be too many invoices to submit It is suggested to furnish considerable sample of invoices along with summary of all purchases
7 Direct Payment in Murabaha
bull In many cases the disbursement is made to the customer as an agent of the bank
bull In order to ensure transparency of the Murabaha it is preferable that disbursement payment be made directly to the supplier
8 Profit Recognition in Murabaha
bull Generally in Murabaha transaction there are in two stages
72 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
bull Investment Stage (Agency to Purchase)
bull Financing Stage (Declaration to payment)
bull The profit for the Murabaha transaction can be recognized after the goods are sold by the bank to the customer
9 Training of Customers amp Bank staff
bull Proper training amp understanding of is very important for
10 Process of Murabaha differ from product to product
bull Application of Murabaha is not simple for all products
bull Its application differs from products to products like
1048633 Sugar cane
1048633 Shares
1048633 Leather
1048633 Cotton
1048633 Gas
1048633 Petrol
Therefore the RMRO dealing with the customer needs to understand and define step wise process flow along with the investment approval for each new customerindustry

67 Accounting Procedure to Murabaha by SIBL
Measurement of asset value at accosting by SIBL Concepts of Financial Accounting for SIBL and Financial Institutions stipulates that historical cost shall be the basis used in measuring and recording the assets at the time of acquisition Therefore the assets possessed by the bank for the purpose of selling them on the basis of Murabaha purchase order shall be measured at the time of their acquisition on an historical cost basis In the cases where the asset value declines below cost whether due to damage destruction or from other unfavorable circumstances such decline shall be reflected in the valuation of the asset at the end of each financial period
In the case of Murabaha to the purchase ordered who is not obliged to fulfill his promise If the bank finds that there is an indication of possible non-recovery of the costs of goods available for
75 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
sale on the basis of Murabaha to the purchase order who is not obliged to fulfill his promise the asset shall be measured at the cash equivalent (ie net realizable) value This shall be achieved by creating a provision for a decline in the asset value to reflect the difference between acquisition cost and the cash equivalent value
Potential Discount to be Obtained after Acquisition of the Asset
(a) In cases where the bank is likely at the time of concluding the contract with the client to obtain a discount on the asset available for sale on the basis of Murabaha or Murabaha to the purchase order and the discount is in fact received subsequently such discount shall not be considered as revenue for the Islamic bank instead the cost of the relevant goods shall be reduced by the amount of the discount Consideration should be given to the impact this will have on both the profits of the current period and future deferred profits
(b) The discount may however be treated as revenue for the bank if this is decided by the Shariah supervisory board of the Islamic bank Such revenue shall be recognized in the income statement
Murabaha Receivables
Short-term or long-term Murabaha receivables shall be recorded at the time of occurrence at their face value Murabaha receivables are measured at the end of the financial period at their cash equivalent value Thus receivables are valued at the amount of debt due from the customers at the end of the financial period less any provision for doubtful debts
Profits Recognition
Profits of Murabaha or Murabaha to the purchase order are recognized at the time of contracting if the sale is for cash or on credit not exceeding the current financial period
Profits of a credit sale which will be paid for either by means of one payment due after the current financial period or by installments over several future financial periods shall be recognized by using one of the following two methods
(a) Proportionate allocation of profits over the period of the credit whereby each financial period shall carry its portion of profits irrespective of whether or not cash is received This is the preferred method
(b) As and when the installments are received This method shall be used based on a decision by the Shariah supervisory board of the bank or if it is required by the Supervisory authorities
Deferred Profits
76 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
Deferred profits shall be offset against Murabaha receivables in the statement of financial position
Early settlement with deduction of part of profit
Deduction of part of profit at the time of settlement If a client accelerates his payment of one or more installments prior to the date specified for such payment the bank may deduct part of the profit to be agreed upon between the bank and the client at the time of settlement The deducted amount shall be credited to the Murabaha receivable account and excluded from the profit recognized in respect of the installments
Deduction of part of the profit after settlement
The same accounting treatment applies if the client accelerates his payments one or more installments prior to the time specified for such payment and the bank did not allow the client a deduction of part of the profit but asked the client to pay the full amount and thereafter the bank reimbursed the client with part of the profit
Procrastination in payment by or insolvency of the client
Procrastination If the client is delinquent in paying his debt installments then any additional amount received by the Islamic bank from the client as a penalty (either by mutual agreement or by court ruling) shall be treated according to what the Shariah supervisory board of the Islamic bank deems appropriate either as
a) Revenue to the Islamic bank or
b) An allocation to a charity fund
Insolvency If it becomes evident that the clients non-payment was due to insolvency then the
bank cannot ask the client to pay any additional amount by way of penalty

Fig Investment in different sub-modes of Murabaha
Here in the figure the proportionate investment to different modes under Murabaha where Bai-Muazzal under Murabaha shows higher percentage almost 80 of total investment by SIBL
61 Steps of Murabaha Investment
In the light of the aforementioned principles in the earlier chapters SIBL use the Murabaha as a mode of finance by adopting the following procedure
STEP 1 CLIENT AND BANK SIGN AN AGREEMENT TO ENTER INTO MURABAHA
The client and the Bank sign an over-all agreement whereby the institution promises to sell and the client promises to buy the commodities from time to time on an agreed ratio of profit added to the cost This agreement may specify the limit up to which the facility may be availed

[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
STEP 2 CLIENT APPOINTED AS AGENT TO PURCHASE GOODS ON BANKrsquoS BEHALF
When the customer requires a specific commodity the bank appoints the client as his agent for purchasing the commodity on its behalf and both the parties sign an agreement of agency
STEP 3 BANK GIVES MONEY TO AGENT FOR PURCHASE OF GOODS
The client purchases the commodity on behalf of the institution and takes its possession as an agent of the institution

[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
STEP 4 CLIENT MAKES AN OFFER TO PURCHASE THE GOODS FROM BANK
The client informs the bank that he has purchased the commodity on his behalf and at the same time makes an offer to purchase it from the institution
STEP 5 BANK ACCEPTS THE OFFER AND SALE IS CONCLUDED
The institution accepts the offer and the sale is concluded whereby the ownership as well as the risk of the commodity is transferred to the client
All these five stages are necessary to effect a valid Murabaha If the institution purchases the commodity directly from the supplier (which is preferable) it does not need any agency agreement In this case the second phase will be dropped and at the third stage the institution itself will purchase the commodity from the supplier and the fourth phase will be restricted to making an offer by the client
This is the only feature of Murabaha which can distinguish it from an interest-based transaction Therefore it must be observed with due diligence at all costs otherwise the Murabaha transaction becomes invalid according to Shariah
Different Capacities at Different Steps
At the 1st step understanding of sale and purchase At the 2nd and 3rd steps Relation of principle and agent At the 4th step Relation between the bank and the supplier is that of a buyer and seller

General Mechanics
Fig Mechanics of Murabaha
The customer approaches the Bank with the request for financing The Bank purchases and receives title of ownership from the Supplier The Bank makes payment to the Supplier The Bank transfers the title over to the customer upon payment The customer makes payment up-front or on a deferred basis
62 Transaction Hierarchy of Murabaha by SIBL
To do a Murabaha transaction the following hierarchy must be insured for fulfilling shariah compliance
1 Murabaha facility agreement2 Purchase requisition order3 Purchase advise4 Information Memorandumdeclaration5 Offer amp acceptance for Murabaha
1 Murabaha Facility Agreement
Purpose
Since conventional bank allow cash financerunning financedemand finance as one year short term loan facilities thus Islamic bank hence SIBL is also required to satisfy that financing limit is available to the customer
SIBL has to prove that the bank deals as financial intermediaries
Party Relationship
Shariah status bilateral promise to witness that bank promised with the customer to ldquofinancerdquo raw material tradable goods to the customer
Bankrsquos Status
Promisor
65 | P a g e
Supplier SIBL Customer
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
Customerrsquos Status
Promisee
Risk Involved
In the absence of any financing agreement ie Murabaha facility agreement the SBP auditors will deem the sale purchase of goods between the bank amp customer as trading has been carried out by SIBL as trader
a Many terms amp conditions need to linked out for examplei Maximum amount of finance available to the customer to maximum
extent of annual raw materialtradable goodsii Maximum tenure of each Murabaha contract needs to be agreed upon
Almost all Islamic banks do not allow Murabaha beyond 180 days tenure The reason being Murabaha contract selling price consist of cost amp profit Once the selling price is fixed cannot be changed
Risk Mitigation
SIBL should execute agency agreement first amp simultaneously Murabaha facility agreement with sanction advice offer letter should be subject to the execution of both above said agreement
2 Purchase Requisition Order
Purpose
To confirm that agent requires purposing some specific goods mention on purchase requisition thus SIBL become able to know what goods are going to be purchased by agent
Party Relationship
SIBL is the principal amp client is agent
Status of Relationship
Agency
Risk Involved
If purchase requisition or purchase order is not submitted by the agent ldquoin timerdquo there is a risk that SIBL may be classified as ldquoacting against lawrdquo This create the difference that the commercial bank not to act as trading house amp if SIBL does not receive any purchase order from the customer as agent and goods are purchased then Islamic Shariah is violated by the bank
Risk Mitigation
66 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
In case of finance related business purchase order application received by SIBL
3 Purchase Advice
Purpose
To restrain the agent to purchase goods without principal authority
Party relationship
SIBL is the principal amp client is agent
Status of Relationship
Agency
Risk Involved
If purchase advice is not issued by SIBL in time before purchase of goods the agent by issuing just a purchase requisition order may purchase some dangerous goods which risk is borne by SIBL
Risk Mitigation
SIBL should issue purchase advice before the goods are purchased by the bank
4 Information MemorandumDeclaration
Purpose
To bind the agent to inform the principal immediately after the goods are possessed by the agent
Party Relationship
SIBL is the principal amp client is agent
Status of Relationship
Agency
Risk Involved
If information memorandum declaration is not issued ldquoin timerdquo immediately after the goods possessed by the agent the goods may be consumed by the agent in its
67 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
possession before the information memorandum declaration is issued by the agent thus once the goods have been consumed that do not exist accordingly consequently no sale purchase of such goods can be executed which do not exist however by neglecting this Shariah principal any act for the sale purchase of such goods will render such type of sale as void
Risk Mitigation
SIBL Compute average raw material consumption period in term of days for each respective client
= Average stock or stock value at any particular point in time
Average consumption of raw material per day
For example
45 days= x
842000360
x = BDT 103808
This 45 days period will be become bench mark under which SIBLrsquos concerned officer must take information memorandum declaration from the agent
However there should be a concrete product policy to monitor thata In case of locally manufactured goods there should not be lapse of 15 days
from the date the pay order demand draft is issued by the bank and declaration is issued by agent
b In case of imported goods there should be 15 days from the date the LC is established by the bank as opening issuing applicant bank amp information memorandum declaration is issued by the agent
5 Offer amp Acceptance For Murabaha
Purpose
To execute sale purchase between the bank amp client for the goods possessed by client as agent of bank
Relationship
Bank is the seller amp client is buyer
Risk Involved
68 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
If sale is not executed in time then bank involve in a risk of executing Murabaha contract for the goods which does not exist The reason being the client feels comfort while consuming the goods in its possession that the issuance of information memorandumdeclaration was the enough sufficient document to consume the goods
Further normally bank wait for receiving of commercial invoicesale tax invoice as an evidence of ownership to execute sale of Murabaha with the customer
Any other document which proves that ownership has been taken by the bank should be used to avoid ldquovoidrdquo contract of Murabaha Such documents in case of local manufactured goods are
a Railwaytruck receipt b Goods dispatch note issued by supplierc Goods received note being prepared at client premises
Whereas in case of import goods receiving of bill of lading is a first class document evidenced the ownership of bank
There are two kinds of possessiona Physicalb Constructive
through this kind of possession over goods is taken through a documents evidencing the transfer of ownership
Risk Mitigation
Immediately after receiving the information memorandumdeclaration from the client Murabaha contract should be executed on the same day based on constructive possession now on this stage following conditions of a valid sale are fulfilled
69 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
Condition of valid sales Parties to the contract for making offer amp acceptance Ownership of the subject matter with the seller Possession over the goods must be with the owner of the goods physical or constructive

63 Murabaha Documentation by SIBL
There are a number of documents involved in a Murabaha financing transaction The most essential of these documents that is produced by SIBL are
Master Murabaha Finance Agreement (MMFA)
Agency Agreement
Order Form
Summary Payment Schedule
Declaration
Master Murabaha Finance Agreement
Itrsquos an agreement between the client and the bank whereby the client agrees to purchase goods from the bank from time to time as per the terms and conditions of this agreement
MMFA is an over all facility agreement under which various Sub-Murabaha may be executed from time to time Hence it needs to be signed once at the time the facility is sanctioned
Agency Agreement
The client is appointed by the bank as its agent to purchase goods This agreement needs to be signed once between the client and the bank The disbursement of funds is done under this agreement Client needs to fill out the list of assets which it will purchase
Order Form Summary Payment Schedule
These documents are required for ach disbursement Sub-Murabaha tranche
Declaration
Declaration is to be signed by the customer immediately after it has purchased the goods This document establishes the actual sale transaction i-e transfer of ownership of goods from the bank to the customer At this stage the specific details of the assets must be known i-e quantity quality etc proper timing of declaration is extremely important

6 Purchase Evidence
7 Direct Payment
8 Profit recognition
9 Training of Customer amp Bank staff
10 Process of Murabaha differ from product to products
1 Timing of lsquoOffer amp Acceptancersquo
bull A Murabaha financing arrangement consists of a series of documents to be executed at various stages the sequence and timing of which is extremely important
bull Through this client and the bank execute an important step of a valid Murabaha sale ie Offer amp Acceptance
bull This is to be signed by the customer when it has purchased and taken possession of the goods as the Bankrsquos agent
bull Offer amp Acceptance must be signed while the goods are still in existence and have not been used in the production process or sold to some other entity
2 Rollover in Murabaha
bull Rollover in Murabaha is not allowed since each Murabaha transaction is for the purchase of a particular asset A new Murabaha can only be executed for the purchase of new assets
bull It is advisable that whenever practicable there must be a gap of 1-2 days between maturity of the previous Murabaha and disbursement of the new one
3 Rebate on Early Payments
bull If the customer makes early payment and there is no commitment from the institution in respect of any discount in the price of Murabaha than the institution has the sole discretion in allowing them the rebate
71 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
bull It is not recommended to make it a practice and must be avoided in normal course of business Such issue if arises should be brought in the knowledge of Shariah advisor
4 Penalty on Late Payments
bull As soon as the Murabaha is executed the Murabaha price becomes a receivable for the Bank Hence any amount charged over and above the amount will be Riba
bull However it is permissible to have an undertaking from the customer to pay an amount of money or a percentage of the debt to be donated to charitable causes in the event of delay in paymentinstalments
5 Subject Matter of Murabaha
bull Goods must exist at the time of execution of Murabaha
bull Murabaha cannot be done in all commodities eg such as currencies gold silver
bull Murabaha cannot be used for paying utility bills wages overhead expenses etc
bull General rules of sale related to subject matter must be followed
6 Purchase Evidence
bull In order to ensure that the customer actually purchased the assets as claimed the customer is required to submit asset purchase evidence along with Offer amp Acceptance
bull The purchase evidence must confirm that the asset purchase took place after the agency agreement
bull Asset purchase may be in the form of Invoices delivery orders truck receipts etc
6 Purchase Evidence
bull In some cases however it may be too burdensome for the client to submit all the invoices as the number of invoices may run into hundreds
bull For example cotton purchases are generally in small quantities from various sources and hence for each Sub-Murabaha there may be too many invoices to submit It is suggested to furnish considerable sample of invoices along with summary of all purchases
7 Direct Payment in Murabaha
bull In many cases the disbursement is made to the customer as an agent of the bank
bull In order to ensure transparency of the Murabaha it is preferable that disbursement payment be made directly to the supplier
8 Profit Recognition in Murabaha
bull Generally in Murabaha transaction there are in two stages
72 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
bull Investment Stage (Agency to Purchase)
bull Financing Stage (Declaration to payment)
bull The profit for the Murabaha transaction can be recognized after the goods are sold by the bank to the customer
9 Training of Customers amp Bank staff
bull Proper training amp understanding of is very important for
10 Process of Murabaha differ from product to product
bull Application of Murabaha is not simple for all products
bull Its application differs from products to products like
1048633 Sugar cane
1048633 Shares
1048633 Leather
1048633 Cotton
1048633 Gas

67 Accounting Procedure to Murabaha by SIBL
Measurement of asset value at accosting by SIBL Concepts of Financial Accounting for SIBL and Financial Institutions stipulates that historical cost shall be the basis used in measuring and recording the assets at the time of acquisition Therefore the assets possessed by the bank for the purpose of selling them on the basis of Murabaha purchase order shall be measured at the time of their acquisition on an historical cost basis In the cases where the asset value declines below cost whether due to damage destruction or from other unfavorable circumstances such decline shall be reflected in the valuation of the asset at the end of each financial period
In the case of Murabaha to the purchase ordered who is not obliged to fulfill his promise If the bank finds that there is an indication of possible non-recovery of the costs of goods available for
75 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
sale on the basis of Murabaha to the purchase order who is not obliged to fulfill his promise the asset shall be measured at the cash equivalent (ie net realizable) value This shall be achieved by creating a provision for a decline in the asset value to reflect the difference between acquisition cost and the cash equivalent value
Potential Discount to be Obtained after Acquisition of the Asset
(a) In cases where the bank is likely at the time of concluding the contract with the client to obtain a discount on the asset available for sale on the basis of Murabaha or Murabaha to the purchase order and the discount is in fact received subsequently such discount shall not be considered as revenue for the Islamic bank instead the cost of the relevant goods shall be reduced by the amount of the discount Consideration should be given to the impact this will have on both the profits of the current period and future deferred profits
(b) The discount may however be treated as revenue for the bank if this is decided by the Shariah supervisory board of the Islamic bank Such revenue shall be recognized in the income statement
Murabaha Receivables
Short-term or long-term Murabaha receivables shall be recorded at the time of occurrence at their face value Murabaha receivables are measured at the end of the financial period at their cash equivalent value Thus receivables are valued at the amount of debt due from the customers at the end of the financial period less any provision for doubtful debts
Profits Recognition
Profits of Murabaha or Murabaha to the purchase order are recognized at the time of contracting if the sale is for cash or on credit not exceeding the current financial period
Profits of a credit sale which will be paid for either by means of one payment due after the current financial period or by installments over several future financial periods shall be recognized by using one of the following two methods
(a) Proportionate allocation of profits over the period of the credit whereby each financial period shall carry its portion of profits irrespective of whether or not cash is received This is the preferred method
(b) As and when the installments are received This method shall be used based on a decision by the Shariah supervisory board of the bank or if it is required by the Supervisory authorities
Deferred Profits
76 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
Deferred profits shall be offset against Murabaha receivables in the statement of financial position
Early settlement with deduction of part of profit
Deduction of part of profit at the time of settlement If a client accelerates his payment of one or more installments prior to the date specified for such payment the bank may deduct part of the profit to be agreed upon between the bank and the client at the time of settlement The deducted amount shall be credited to the Murabaha receivable account and excluded from the profit recognized in respect of the installments
Deduction of part of the profit after settlement
The same accounting treatment applies if the client accelerates his payments one or more installments prior to the time specified for such payment and the bank did not allow the client a deduction of part of the profit but asked the client to pay the full amount and thereafter the bank reimbursed the client with part of the profit
Procrastination in payment by or insolvency of the client
Procrastination If the client is delinquent in paying his debt installments then any additional amount received by the Islamic bank from the client as a penalty (either by mutual agreement or by court ruling) shall be treated according to what the Shariah supervisory board of the Islamic bank deems appropriate either as
a) Revenue to the Islamic bank or
b) An allocation to a charity fund
Insolvency If it becomes evident that the clients non-payment was due to insolvency then the
bank cannot ask the client to pay any additional amount by way of penalty

STEP 2 CLIENT APPOINTED AS AGENT TO PURCHASE GOODS ON BANKrsquoS BEHALF
When the customer requires a specific commodity the bank appoints the client as his agent for purchasing the commodity on its behalf and both the parties sign an agreement of agency
STEP 3 BANK GIVES MONEY TO AGENT FOR PURCHASE OF GOODS
The client purchases the commodity on behalf of the institution and takes its possession as an agent of the institution

STEP 4 CLIENT MAKES AN OFFER TO PURCHASE THE GOODS FROM BANK
The client informs the bank that he has purchased the commodity on his behalf and at the same time makes an offer to purchase it from the institution
STEP 5 BANK ACCEPTS THE OFFER AND SALE IS CONCLUDED
The institution accepts the offer and the sale is concluded whereby the ownership as well as the risk of the commodity is transferred to the client
All these five stages are necessary to effect a valid Murabaha If the institution purchases the commodity directly from the supplier (which is preferable) it does not need any agency agreement In this case the second phase will be dropped and at the third stage the institution itself will purchase the commodity from the supplier and the fourth phase will be restricted to making an offer by the client
This is the only feature of Murabaha which can distinguish it from an interest-based transaction Therefore it must be observed with due diligence at all costs otherwise the Murabaha transaction becomes invalid according to Shariah
Different Capacities at Different Steps
At the 1st step understanding of sale and purchase At the 2nd and 3rd steps Relation of principle and agent At the 4th step Relation between the bank and the supplier is that of a buyer and seller

At the 4th and 5th steps Relation of buyer and seller comes into operation between the bank and the client The relation between bank and client is that of debtor and creditor
General Mechanics
Fig Mechanics of Murabaha
The customer approaches the Bank with the request for financing The Bank purchases and receives title of ownership from the Supplier The Bank makes payment to the Supplier The Bank transfers the title over to the customer upon payment The customer makes payment up-front or on a deferred basis
62 Transaction Hierarchy of Murabaha by SIBL
To do a Murabaha transaction the following hierarchy must be insured for fulfilling shariah compliance
1 Murabaha facility agreement2 Purchase requisition order3 Purchase advise4 Information Memorandumdeclaration5 Offer amp acceptance for Murabaha
1 Murabaha Facility Agreement
Purpose
Since conventional bank allow cash financerunning financedemand finance as one year short term loan facilities thus Islamic bank hence SIBL is also required to satisfy that financing limit is available to the customer
SIBL has to prove that the bank deals as financial intermediaries
Party Relationship
Shariah status bilateral promise to witness that bank promised with the customer to ldquofinancerdquo raw material tradable goods to the customer
Bankrsquos Status

[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
Customerrsquos Status
Promisee
Risk Involved
In the absence of any financing agreement ie Murabaha facility agreement the SBP auditors will deem the sale purchase of goods between the bank amp customer as trading has been carried out by SIBL as trader
a Many terms amp conditions need to linked out for examplei Maximum amount of finance available to the customer to maximum
extent of annual raw materialtradable goodsii Maximum tenure of each Murabaha contract needs to be agreed upon
Almost all Islamic banks do not allow Murabaha beyond 180 days tenure The reason being Murabaha contract selling price consist of cost amp profit Once the selling price is fixed cannot be changed
Risk Mitigation
SIBL should execute agency agreement first amp simultaneously Murabaha facility agreement with sanction advice offer letter should be subject to the execution of both above said agreement
2 Purchase Requisition Order
Purpose
To confirm that agent requires purposing some specific goods mention on purchase requisition thus SIBL become able to know what goods are going to be purchased by agent
Party Relationship
SIBL is the principal amp client is agent
Status of Relationship
Agency
Risk Involved
If purchase requisition or purchase order is not submitted by the agent ldquoin timerdquo there is a risk that SIBL may be classified as ldquoacting against lawrdquo This create the difference that the commercial bank not to act as trading house amp if SIBL does not receive any purchase order from the customer as agent and goods are purchased then Islamic Shariah is violated by the bank
Risk Mitigation
66 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
In case of finance related business purchase order application received by SIBL
3 Purchase Advice
Purpose
To restrain the agent to purchase goods without principal authority
Party relationship
SIBL is the principal amp client is agent
Status of Relationship
Agency
Risk Involved
If purchase advice is not issued by SIBL in time before purchase of goods the agent by issuing just a purchase requisition order may purchase some dangerous goods which risk is borne by SIBL
Risk Mitigation
SIBL should issue purchase advice before the goods are purchased by the bank
4 Information MemorandumDeclaration
Purpose
To bind the agent to inform the principal immediately after the goods are possessed by the agent
Party Relationship
SIBL is the principal amp client is agent
Status of Relationship
Agency
Risk Involved
If information memorandum declaration is not issued ldquoin timerdquo immediately after the goods possessed by the agent the goods may be consumed by the agent in its
67 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
possession before the information memorandum declaration is issued by the agent thus once the goods have been consumed that do not exist accordingly consequently no sale purchase of such goods can be executed which do not exist however by neglecting this Shariah principal any act for the sale purchase of such goods will render such type of sale as void
Risk Mitigation
SIBL Compute average raw material consumption period in term of days for each respective client
= Average stock or stock value at any particular point in time
Average consumption of raw material per day
For example
45 days= x
842000360
x = BDT 103808
This 45 days period will be become bench mark under which SIBLrsquos concerned officer must take information memorandum declaration from the agent
However there should be a concrete product policy to monitor thata In case of locally manufactured goods there should not be lapse of 15 days
from the date the pay order demand draft is issued by the bank and declaration is issued by agent
b In case of imported goods there should be 15 days from the date the LC is established by the bank as opening issuing applicant bank amp information memorandum declaration is issued by the agent
5 Offer amp Acceptance For Murabaha
Purpose
To execute sale purchase between the bank amp client for the goods possessed by client as agent of bank
Relationship
Bank is the seller amp client is buyer
Risk Involved
68 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
If sale is not executed in time then bank involve in a risk of executing Murabaha contract for the goods which does not exist The reason being the client feels comfort while consuming the goods in its possession that the issuance of information memorandumdeclaration was the enough sufficient document to consume the goods
Further normally bank wait for receiving of commercial invoicesale tax invoice as an evidence of ownership to execute sale of Murabaha with the customer
Any other document which proves that ownership has been taken by the bank should be used to avoid ldquovoidrdquo contract of Murabaha Such documents in case of local manufactured goods are
a Railwaytruck receipt b Goods dispatch note issued by supplierc Goods received note being prepared at client premises
Whereas in case of import goods receiving of bill of lading is a first class document evidenced the ownership of bank
There are two kinds of possessiona Physicalb Constructive
through this kind of possession over goods is taken through a documents evidencing the transfer of ownership
Risk Mitigation
Immediately after receiving the information memorandumdeclaration from the client Murabaha contract should be executed on the same day based on constructive possession now on this stage following conditions of a valid sale are fulfilled
69 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
Condition of valid sales Parties to the contract for making offer amp acceptance Ownership of the subject matter with the seller Possession over the goods must be with the owner of the goods physical or constructive
(free charge having full information that there is no claim of ant third party over the goods like Mortgage pledge hypothecation charge)Price (saman) Lawful Consideration
63 Murabaha Documentation by SIBL

3 Rebate on Early payment
4 Penalty in Late payment
5 Subject Matter
6 Purchase Evidence
7 Direct Payment
8 Profit recognition
9 Training of Customer amp Bank staff
10 Process of Murabaha differ from product to products
1 Timing of lsquoOffer amp Acceptancersquo
bull A Murabaha financing arrangement consists of a series of documents to be executed at various stages the sequence and timing of which is extremely important
bull Through this client and the bank execute an important step of a valid Murabaha sale ie Offer amp Acceptance
bull This is to be signed by the customer when it has purchased and taken possession of the goods as the Bankrsquos agent
bull Offer amp Acceptance must be signed while the goods are still in existence and have not been used in the production process or sold to some other entity
2 Rollover in Murabaha
bull Rollover in Murabaha is not allowed since each Murabaha transaction is for the purchase of a particular asset A new Murabaha can only be executed for the purchase of new assets
bull It is advisable that whenever practicable there must be a gap of 1-2 days between maturity of the previous Murabaha and disbursement of the new one
3 Rebate on Early Payments
bull If the customer makes early payment and there is no commitment from the institution in respect of any discount in the price of Murabaha than the institution has the sole discretion in allowing them the rebate
71 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
bull It is not recommended to make it a practice and must be avoided in normal course of business Such issue if arises should be brought in the knowledge of Shariah advisor
4 Penalty on Late Payments
bull As soon as the Murabaha is executed the Murabaha price becomes a receivable for the Bank Hence any amount charged over and above the amount will be Riba
bull However it is permissible to have an undertaking from the customer to pay an amount of money or a percentage of the debt to be donated to charitable causes in the event of delay in paymentinstalments
5 Subject Matter of Murabaha
bull Goods must exist at the time of execution of Murabaha
bull Murabaha cannot be done in all commodities eg such as currencies gold silver
bull Murabaha cannot be used for paying utility bills wages overhead expenses etc
bull General rules of sale related to subject matter must be followed
6 Purchase Evidence
bull In order to ensure that the customer actually purchased the assets as claimed the customer is required to submit asset purchase evidence along with Offer amp Acceptance
bull The purchase evidence must confirm that the asset purchase took place after the agency agreement
bull Asset purchase may be in the form of Invoices delivery orders truck receipts etc
6 Purchase Evidence
bull In some cases however it may be too burdensome for the client to submit all the invoices as the number of invoices may run into hundreds
bull For example cotton purchases are generally in small quantities from various sources and hence for each Sub-Murabaha there may be too many invoices to submit It is suggested to furnish considerable sample of invoices along with summary of all purchases
7 Direct Payment in Murabaha
bull In many cases the disbursement is made to the customer as an agent of the bank
bull In order to ensure transparency of the Murabaha it is preferable that disbursement payment be made directly to the supplier
8 Profit Recognition in Murabaha
bull Generally in Murabaha transaction there are in two stages
72 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
bull Investment Stage (Agency to Purchase)
bull Financing Stage (Declaration to payment)
bull The profit for the Murabaha transaction can be recognized after the goods are sold by the bank to the customer
9 Training of Customers amp Bank staff
bull Proper training amp understanding of is very important for
10 Process of Murabaha differ from product to product
bull Application of Murabaha is not simple for all products
bull Its application differs from products to products like
1048633 Sugar cane
1048633 Shares
1048633 Leather
1048633 Cotton
1048633 Gas

67 Accounting Procedure to Murabaha by SIBL
Measurement of asset value at accosting by SIBL Concepts of Financial Accounting for SIBL and Financial Institutions stipulates that historical cost shall be the basis used in measuring and recording the assets at the time of acquisition Therefore the assets possessed by the bank for the purpose of selling them on the basis of Murabaha purchase order shall be measured at the time of their acquisition on an historical cost basis In the cases where the asset value declines below cost whether due to damage destruction or from other unfavorable circumstances such decline shall be reflected in the valuation of the asset at the end of each financial period
In the case of Murabaha to the purchase ordered who is not obliged to fulfill his promise If the bank finds that there is an indication of possible non-recovery of the costs of goods available for
75 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
sale on the basis of Murabaha to the purchase order who is not obliged to fulfill his promise the asset shall be measured at the cash equivalent (ie net realizable) value This shall be achieved by creating a provision for a decline in the asset value to reflect the difference between acquisition cost and the cash equivalent value
Potential Discount to be Obtained after Acquisition of the Asset
(a) In cases where the bank is likely at the time of concluding the contract with the client to obtain a discount on the asset available for sale on the basis of Murabaha or Murabaha to the purchase order and the discount is in fact received subsequently such discount shall not be considered as revenue for the Islamic bank instead the cost of the relevant goods shall be reduced by the amount of the discount Consideration should be given to the impact this will have on both the profits of the current period and future deferred profits
(b) The discount may however be treated as revenue for the bank if this is decided by the Shariah supervisory board of the Islamic bank Such revenue shall be recognized in the income statement
Murabaha Receivables
Short-term or long-term Murabaha receivables shall be recorded at the time of occurrence at their face value Murabaha receivables are measured at the end of the financial period at their cash equivalent value Thus receivables are valued at the amount of debt due from the customers at the end of the financial period less any provision for doubtful debts
Profits Recognition
Profits of Murabaha or Murabaha to the purchase order are recognized at the time of contracting if the sale is for cash or on credit not exceeding the current financial period
Profits of a credit sale which will be paid for either by means of one payment due after the current financial period or by installments over several future financial periods shall be recognized by using one of the following two methods
(a) Proportionate allocation of profits over the period of the credit whereby each financial period shall carry its portion of profits irrespective of whether or not cash is received This is the preferred method
(b) As and when the installments are received This method shall be used based on a decision by the Shariah supervisory board of the bank or if it is required by the Supervisory authorities
Deferred Profits
76 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
Deferred profits shall be offset against Murabaha receivables in the statement of financial position
Early settlement with deduction of part of profit
Deduction of part of profit at the time of settlement If a client accelerates his payment of one or more installments prior to the date specified for such payment the bank may deduct part of the profit to be agreed upon between the bank and the client at the time of settlement The deducted amount shall be credited to the Murabaha receivable account and excluded from the profit recognized in respect of the installments
Deduction of part of the profit after settlement
The same accounting treatment applies if the client accelerates his payments one or more installments prior to the time specified for such payment and the bank did not allow the client a deduction of part of the profit but asked the client to pay the full amount and thereafter the bank reimbursed the client with part of the profit
Procrastination in payment by or insolvency of the client
Procrastination If the client is delinquent in paying his debt installments then any additional amount received by the Islamic bank from the client as a penalty (either by mutual agreement or by court ruling) shall be treated according to what the Shariah supervisory board of the Islamic bank deems appropriate either as
a) Revenue to the Islamic bank or
b) An allocation to a charity fund
Insolvency If it becomes evident that the clients non-payment was due to insolvency then the
bank cannot ask the client to pay any additional amount by way of penalty

STEP 4 CLIENT MAKES AN OFFER TO PURCHASE THE GOODS FROM BANK
The client informs the bank that he has purchased the commodity on his behalf and at the same time makes an offer to purchase it from the institution
STEP 5 BANK ACCEPTS THE OFFER AND SALE IS CONCLUDED
The institution accepts the offer and the sale is concluded whereby the ownership as well as the risk of the commodity is transferred to the client
All these five stages are necessary to effect a valid Murabaha If the institution purchases the commodity directly from the supplier (which is preferable) it does not need any agency agreement In this case the second phase will be dropped and at the third stage the institution itself will purchase the commodity from the supplier and the fourth phase will be restricted to making an offer by the client
This is the only feature of Murabaha which can distinguish it from an interest-based transaction Therefore it must be observed with due diligence at all costs otherwise the Murabaha transaction becomes invalid according to Shariah
Different Capacities at Different Steps

Risk Involved
In the absence of any financing agreement ie Murabaha facility agreement the SBP auditors will deem the sale purchase of goods between the bank amp customer as trading has been carried out by SIBL as trader
a Many terms amp conditions need to linked out for examplei Maximum amount of finance available to the customer to maximum
extent of annual raw materialtradable goodsii Maximum tenure of each Murabaha contract needs to be agreed upon
Almost all Islamic banks do not allow Murabaha beyond 180 days tenure The reason being Murabaha contract selling price consist of cost amp profit Once the selling price is fixed cannot be changed
Risk Mitigation
SIBL should execute agency agreement first amp simultaneously Murabaha facility agreement with sanction advice offer letter should be subject to the execution of both above said agreement
2 Purchase Requisition Order
Purpose
To confirm that agent requires purposing some specific goods mention on purchase requisition thus SIBL become able to know what goods are going to be purchased by agent
Party Relationship
SIBL is the principal amp client is agent
Status of Relationship

Risk Involved
If purchase advice is not issued by SIBL in time before purchase of goods the agent by issuing just a purchase requisition order may purchase some dangerous goods which risk is borne by SIBL
Risk Mitigation
SIBL should issue purchase advice before the goods are purchased by the bank

To bind the agent to inform the principal immediately after the goods are possessed by the agent
Party Relationship
SIBL is the principal amp client is agent
Status of Relationship

SIBL Compute average raw material consumption period in term of days for each respective client
= Average stock or stock value at any particular point in time
Average consumption of raw material per day
For example
45 days= x
842000360
x = BDT 103808
This 45 days period will be become bench mark under which SIBLrsquos concerned officer must take information memorandum declaration from the agent
However there should be a concrete product policy to monitor thata In case of locally manufactured goods there should not be lapse of 15 days
from the date the pay order demand draft is issued by the bank and declaration is issued by agent
b In case of imported goods there should be 15 days from the date the LC is established by the bank as opening issuing applicant bank amp information memorandum declaration is issued by the agent
5 Offer amp Acceptance For Murabaha
Purpose
To execute sale purchase between the bank amp client for the goods possessed by client as agent of bank
Relationship
Bank is the seller amp client is buyer
Risk Involved
68 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
If sale is not executed in time then bank involve in a risk of executing Murabaha contract for the goods which does not exist The reason being the client feels comfort while consuming the goods in its possession that the issuance of information memorandumdeclaration was the enough sufficient document to consume the goods
Further normally bank wait for receiving of commercial invoicesale tax invoice as an evidence of ownership to execute sale of Murabaha with the customer
Any other document which proves that ownership has been taken by the bank should be used to avoid ldquovoidrdquo contract of Murabaha Such documents in case of local manufactured goods are
a Railwaytruck receipt b Goods dispatch note issued by supplierc Goods received note being prepared at client premises
Whereas in case of import goods receiving of bill of lading is a first class document evidenced the ownership of bank
There are two kinds of possessiona Physicalb Constructive
through this kind of possession over goods is taken through a documents evidencing the transfer of ownership
Risk Mitigation
Immediately after receiving the information memorandumdeclaration from the client Murabaha contract should be executed on the same day based on constructive possession now on this stage following conditions of a valid sale are fulfilled

bull Through this client and the bank execute an important step of a valid Murabaha sale ie Offer amp Acceptance
bull This is to be signed by the customer when it has purchased and taken possession of the goods as the Bankrsquos agent
bull Offer amp Acceptance must be signed while the goods are still in existence and have not been used in the production process or sold to some other entity

bull Rollover in Murabaha is not allowed since each Murabaha transaction is for the purchase of a particular asset A new Murabaha can only be executed for the purchase of new assets
bull It is advisable that whenever practicable there must be a gap of 1-2 days between maturity of the previous Murabaha and disbursement of the new one
3 Rebate on Early Payments
bull If the customer makes early payment and there is no commitment from the institution in respect of any discount in the price of Murabaha than the institution has the sole discretion in allowing them the rebate
71 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
bull It is not recommended to make it a practice and must be avoided in normal course of business Such issue if arises should be brought in the knowledge of Shariah advisor
4 Penalty on Late Payments
bull As soon as the Murabaha is executed the Murabaha price becomes a receivable for the Bank Hence any amount charged over and above the amount will be Riba
bull However it is permissible to have an undertaking from the customer to pay an amount of money or a percentage of the debt to be donated to charitable causes in the event of delay in paymentinstalments
5 Subject Matter of Murabaha
bull Goods must exist at the time of execution of Murabaha
bull Murabaha cannot be done in all commodities eg such as currencies gold silver
bull Murabaha cannot be used for paying utility bills wages overhead expenses etc
bull General rules of sale related to subject matter must be followed

bull The purchase evidence must confirm that the asset purchase took place after the agency agreement
bull Asset purchase may be in the form of Invoices delivery orders truck receipts etc
6 Purchase Evidence
bull In some cases however it may be too burdensome for the client to submit all the invoices as the number of invoices may run into hundreds
bull For example cotton purchases are generally in small quantities from various sources and hence for each Sub-Murabaha there may be too many invoices to submit It is suggested to furnish considerable sample of invoices along with summary of all purchases
7 Direct Payment in Murabaha
bull In many cases the disbursement is made to the customer as an agent of the bank
bull In order to ensure transparency of the Murabaha it is preferable that disbursement payment be made directly to the supplier

72 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
bull Investment Stage (Agency to Purchase)

67 Accounting Procedure to Murabaha by SIBL
Measurement of asset value at accosting by SIBL Concepts of Financial Accounting for SIBL and Financial Institutions stipulates that historical cost shall be the basis used in measuring and recording the assets at the time of acquisition Therefore the assets possessed by the bank for the purpose of selling them on the basis of Murabaha purchase order shall be measured at the time of their acquisition on an historical cost basis In the cases where the asset value declines below cost whether due to damage destruction or from other unfavorable circumstances such decline shall be reflected in the valuation of the asset at the end of each financial period
In the case of Murabaha to the purchase ordered who is not obliged to fulfill his promise If the bank finds that there is an indication of possible non-recovery of the costs of goods available for
75 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
sale on the basis of Murabaha to the purchase order who is not obliged to fulfill his promise the asset shall be measured at the cash equivalent (ie net realizable) value This shall be achieved by creating a provision for a decline in the asset value to reflect the difference between acquisition cost and the cash equivalent value
Potential Discount to be Obtained after Acquisition of the Asset
(a) In cases where the bank is likely at the time of concluding the contract with the client to obtain a discount on the asset available for sale on the basis of Murabaha or Murabaha to the purchase order and the discount is in fact received subsequently such discount shall not be considered as revenue for the Islamic bank instead the cost of the relevant goods shall be reduced by the amount of the discount Consideration should be given to the impact this will have on both the profits of the current period and future deferred profits
(b) The discount may however be treated as revenue for the bank if this is decided by the Shariah supervisory board of the Islamic bank Such revenue shall be recognized in the income statement
Murabaha Receivables
Short-term or long-term Murabaha receivables shall be recorded at the time of occurrence at their face value Murabaha receivables are measured at the end of the financial period at their cash equivalent value Thus receivables are valued at the amount of debt due from the customers at the end of the financial period less any provision for doubtful debts
Profits Recognition
Profits of Murabaha or Murabaha to the purchase order are recognized at the time of contracting if the sale is for cash or on credit not exceeding the current financial period
Profits of a credit sale which will be paid for either by means of one payment due after the current financial period or by installments over several future financial periods shall be recognized by using one of the following two methods
(a) Proportionate allocation of profits over the period of the credit whereby each financial period shall carry its portion of profits irrespective of whether or not cash is received This is the preferred method
(b) As and when the installments are received This method shall be used based on a decision by the Shariah supervisory board of the bank or if it is required by the Supervisory authorities
Deferred Profits
76 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
Deferred profits shall be offset against Murabaha receivables in the statement of financial position
Early settlement with deduction of part of profit
Deduction of part of profit at the time of settlement If a client accelerates his payment of one or more installments prior to the date specified for such payment the bank may deduct part of the profit to be agreed upon between the bank and the client at the time of settlement The deducted amount shall be credited to the Murabaha receivable account and excluded from the profit recognized in respect of the installments
Deduction of part of the profit after settlement
The same accounting treatment applies if the client accelerates his payments one or more installments prior to the time specified for such payment and the bank did not allow the client a deduction of part of the profit but asked the client to pay the full amount and thereafter the bank reimbursed the client with part of the profit
Procrastination in payment by or insolvency of the client
Procrastination If the client is delinquent in paying his debt installments then any additional amount received by the Islamic bank from the client as a penalty (either by mutual agreement or by court ruling) shall be treated according to what the Shariah supervisory board of the Islamic bank deems appropriate either as
a) Revenue to the Islamic bank or
b) An allocation to a charity fund
Insolvency If it becomes evident that the clients non-payment was due to insolvency then the
bank cannot ask the client to pay any additional amount by way of penalty

General Mechanics
Fig Mechanics of Murabaha
The customer approaches the Bank with the request for financing The Bank purchases and receives title of ownership from the Supplier The Bank makes payment to the Supplier The Bank transfers the title over to the customer upon payment The customer makes payment up-front or on a deferred basis
62 Transaction Hierarchy of Murabaha by SIBL
To do a Murabaha transaction the following hierarchy must be insured for fulfilling shariah compliance
1 Murabaha facility agreement2 Purchase requisition order3 Purchase advise4 Information Memorandumdeclaration5 Offer amp acceptance for Murabaha
1 Murabaha Facility Agreement
Purpose
Since conventional bank allow cash financerunning financedemand finance as one year short term loan facilities thus Islamic bank hence SIBL is also required to satisfy that financing limit is available to the customer
SIBL has to prove that the bank deals as financial intermediaries
Party Relationship
Shariah status bilateral promise to witness that bank promised with the customer to ldquofinancerdquo raw material tradable goods to the customer
Bankrsquos Status
Promisor
65 | P a g e
Supplier SIBL Customer
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
Customerrsquos Status
Promisee
Risk Involved
In the absence of any financing agreement ie Murabaha facility agreement the SBP auditors will deem the sale purchase of goods between the bank amp customer as trading has been carried out by SIBL as trader
a Many terms amp conditions need to linked out for examplei Maximum amount of finance available to the customer to maximum
extent of annual raw materialtradable goodsii Maximum tenure of each Murabaha contract needs to be agreed upon
Almost all Islamic banks do not allow Murabaha beyond 180 days tenure The reason being Murabaha contract selling price consist of cost amp profit Once the selling price is fixed cannot be changed
Risk Mitigation
SIBL should execute agency agreement first amp simultaneously Murabaha facility agreement with sanction advice offer letter should be subject to the execution of both above said agreement
2 Purchase Requisition Order
Purpose
To confirm that agent requires purposing some specific goods mention on purchase requisition thus SIBL become able to know what goods are going to be purchased by agent
Party Relationship
SIBL is the principal amp client is agent
Status of Relationship
Agency
Risk Involved
If purchase requisition or purchase order is not submitted by the agent ldquoin timerdquo there is a risk that SIBL may be classified as ldquoacting against lawrdquo This create the difference that the commercial bank not to act as trading house amp if SIBL does not receive any purchase order from the customer as agent and goods are purchased then Islamic Shariah is violated by the bank
Risk Mitigation
66 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
In case of finance related business purchase order application received by SIBL
3 Purchase Advice
Purpose
To restrain the agent to purchase goods without principal authority
Party relationship
SIBL is the principal amp client is agent
Status of Relationship
Agency
Risk Involved
If purchase advice is not issued by SIBL in time before purchase of goods the agent by issuing just a purchase requisition order may purchase some dangerous goods which risk is borne by SIBL
Risk Mitigation
SIBL should issue purchase advice before the goods are purchased by the bank
4 Information MemorandumDeclaration
Purpose
To bind the agent to inform the principal immediately after the goods are possessed by the agent
Party Relationship
SIBL is the principal amp client is agent
Status of Relationship
Agency
Risk Involved
If information memorandum declaration is not issued ldquoin timerdquo immediately after the goods possessed by the agent the goods may be consumed by the agent in its
67 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
possession before the information memorandum declaration is issued by the agent thus once the goods have been consumed that do not exist accordingly consequently no sale purchase of such goods can be executed which do not exist however by neglecting this Shariah principal any act for the sale purchase of such goods will render such type of sale as void
Risk Mitigation
SIBL Compute average raw material consumption period in term of days for each respective client
= Average stock or stock value at any particular point in time
Average consumption of raw material per day
For example
45 days= x
842000360
x = BDT 103808
This 45 days period will be become bench mark under which SIBLrsquos concerned officer must take information memorandum declaration from the agent
However there should be a concrete product policy to monitor thata In case of locally manufactured goods there should not be lapse of 15 days
from the date the pay order demand draft is issued by the bank and declaration is issued by agent
b In case of imported goods there should be 15 days from the date the LC is established by the bank as opening issuing applicant bank amp information memorandum declaration is issued by the agent
5 Offer amp Acceptance For Murabaha
Purpose
To execute sale purchase between the bank amp client for the goods possessed by client as agent of bank
Relationship
Bank is the seller amp client is buyer
Risk Involved
68 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
If sale is not executed in time then bank involve in a risk of executing Murabaha contract for the goods which does not exist The reason being the client feels comfort while consuming the goods in its possession that the issuance of information memorandumdeclaration was the enough sufficient document to consume the goods
Further normally bank wait for receiving of commercial invoicesale tax invoice as an evidence of ownership to execute sale of Murabaha with the customer
Any other document which proves that ownership has been taken by the bank should be used to avoid ldquovoidrdquo contract of Murabaha Such documents in case of local manufactured goods are
a Railwaytruck receipt b Goods dispatch note issued by supplierc Goods received note being prepared at client premises
Whereas in case of import goods receiving of bill of lading is a first class document evidenced the ownership of bank
There are two kinds of possessiona Physicalb Constructive
through this kind of possession over goods is taken through a documents evidencing the transfer of ownership
Risk Mitigation
Immediately after receiving the information memorandumdeclaration from the client Murabaha contract should be executed on the same day based on constructive possession now on this stage following conditions of a valid sale are fulfilled
69 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]

67 Accounting Procedure to Murabaha by SIBL
Measurement of asset value at accosting by SIBL Concepts of Financial Accounting for SIBL and Financial Institutions stipulates that historical cost shall be the basis used in measuring and recording the assets at the time of acquisition Therefore the assets possessed by the bank for the purpose of selling them on the basis of Murabaha purchase order shall be measured at the time of their acquisition on an historical cost basis In the cases where the asset value declines below cost whether due to damage destruction or from other unfavorable circumstances such decline shall be reflected in the valuation of the asset at the end of each financial period
In the case of Murabaha to the purchase ordered who is not obliged to fulfill his promise If the bank finds that there is an indication of possible non-recovery of the costs of goods available for
75 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
sale on the basis of Murabaha to the purchase order who is not obliged to fulfill his promise the asset shall be measured at the cash equivalent (ie net realizable) value This shall be achieved by creating a provision for a decline in the asset value to reflect the difference between acquisition cost and the cash equivalent value
Potential Discount to be Obtained after Acquisition of the Asset
(a) In cases where the bank is likely at the time of concluding the contract with the client to obtain a discount on the asset available for sale on the basis of Murabaha or Murabaha to the purchase order and the discount is in fact received subsequently such discount shall not be considered as revenue for the Islamic bank instead the cost of the relevant goods shall be reduced by the amount of the discount Consideration should be given to the impact this will have on both the profits of the current period and future deferred profits
(b) The discount may however be treated as revenue for the bank if this is decided by the Shariah supervisory board of the Islamic bank Such revenue shall be recognized in the income statement
Murabaha Receivables
Short-term or long-term Murabaha receivables shall be recorded at the time of occurrence at their face value Murabaha receivables are measured at the end of the financial period at their cash equivalent value Thus receivables are valued at the amount of debt due from the customers at the end of the financial period less any provision for doubtful debts
Profits Recognition
Profits of Murabaha or Murabaha to the purchase order are recognized at the time of contracting if the sale is for cash or on credit not exceeding the current financial period
Profits of a credit sale which will be paid for either by means of one payment due after the current financial period or by installments over several future financial periods shall be recognized by using one of the following two methods
(a) Proportionate allocation of profits over the period of the credit whereby each financial period shall carry its portion of profits irrespective of whether or not cash is received This is the preferred method
(b) As and when the installments are received This method shall be used based on a decision by the Shariah supervisory board of the bank or if it is required by the Supervisory authorities
Deferred Profits
76 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
Deferred profits shall be offset against Murabaha receivables in the statement of financial position
Early settlement with deduction of part of profit
Deduction of part of profit at the time of settlement If a client accelerates his payment of one or more installments prior to the date specified for such payment the bank may deduct part of the profit to be agreed upon between the bank and the client at the time of settlement The deducted amount shall be credited to the Murabaha receivable account and excluded from the profit recognized in respect of the installments
Deduction of part of the profit after settlement
The same accounting treatment applies if the client accelerates his payments one or more installments prior to the time specified for such payment and the bank did not allow the client a deduction of part of the profit but asked the client to pay the full amount and thereafter the bank reimbursed the client with part of the profit
Procrastination in payment by or insolvency of the client
Procrastination If the client is delinquent in paying his debt installments then any additional amount received by the Islamic bank from the client as a penalty (either by mutual agreement or by court ruling) shall be treated according to what the Shariah supervisory board of the Islamic bank deems appropriate either as
a) Revenue to the Islamic bank or
b) An allocation to a charity fund
Insolvency If it becomes evident that the clients non-payment was due to insolvency then the
bank cannot ask the client to pay any additional amount by way of penalty

Promisee
Risk Involved
In the absence of any financing agreement ie Murabaha facility agreement the SBP auditors will deem the sale purchase of goods between the bank amp customer as trading has been carried out by SIBL as trader
a Many terms amp conditions need to linked out for examplei Maximum amount of finance available to the customer to maximum
extent of annual raw materialtradable goodsii Maximum tenure of each Murabaha contract needs to be agreed upon
Almost all Islamic banks do not allow Murabaha beyond 180 days tenure The reason being Murabaha contract selling price consist of cost amp profit Once the selling price is fixed cannot be changed
Risk Mitigation
SIBL should execute agency agreement first amp simultaneously Murabaha facility agreement with sanction advice offer letter should be subject to the execution of both above said agreement
2 Purchase Requisition Order

4 Information MemorandumDeclaration
Purpose
To bind the agent to inform the principal immediately after the goods are possessed by the agent
Party Relationship
SIBL is the principal amp client is agent
Status of Relationship
Agency
Risk Involved
If information memorandum declaration is not issued ldquoin timerdquo immediately after the goods possessed by the agent the goods may be consumed by the agent in its
67 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
possession before the information memorandum declaration is issued by the agent thus once the goods have been consumed that do not exist accordingly consequently no sale purchase of such goods can be executed which do not exist however by neglecting this Shariah principal any act for the sale purchase of such goods will render such type of sale as void
Risk Mitigation
SIBL Compute average raw material consumption period in term of days for each respective client
= Average stock or stock value at any particular point in time
Average consumption of raw material per day
For example
45 days= x
842000360
x = BDT 103808
This 45 days period will be become bench mark under which SIBLrsquos concerned officer must take information memorandum declaration from the agent
However there should be a concrete product policy to monitor thata In case of locally manufactured goods there should not be lapse of 15 days
from the date the pay order demand draft is issued by the bank and declaration is issued by agent
b In case of imported goods there should be 15 days from the date the LC is established by the bank as opening issuing applicant bank amp information memorandum declaration is issued by the agent
5 Offer amp Acceptance For Murabaha
Purpose
To execute sale purchase between the bank amp client for the goods possessed by client as agent of bank
Relationship
Bank is the seller amp client is buyer
Risk Involved
68 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
If sale is not executed in time then bank involve in a risk of executing Murabaha contract for the goods which does not exist The reason being the client feels comfort while consuming the goods in its possession that the issuance of information memorandumdeclaration was the enough sufficient document to consume the goods
Further normally bank wait for receiving of commercial invoicesale tax invoice as an evidence of ownership to execute sale of Murabaha with the customer
Any other document which proves that ownership has been taken by the bank should be used to avoid ldquovoidrdquo contract of Murabaha Such documents in case of local manufactured goods are
a Railwaytruck receipt b Goods dispatch note issued by supplierc Goods received note being prepared at client premises
Whereas in case of import goods receiving of bill of lading is a first class document evidenced the ownership of bank
There are two kinds of possessiona Physicalb Constructive
through this kind of possession over goods is taken through a documents evidencing the transfer of ownership
Risk Mitigation
Immediately after receiving the information memorandumdeclaration from the client Murabaha contract should be executed on the same day based on constructive possession now on this stage following conditions of a valid sale are fulfilled

In case of finance related business purchase order application received by SIBL
3 Purchase Advice
Purpose
To restrain the agent to purchase goods without principal authority
Party relationship
SIBL is the principal amp client is agent
Status of Relationship
Agency
Risk Involved
If purchase advice is not issued by SIBL in time before purchase of goods the agent by issuing just a purchase requisition order may purchase some dangerous goods which risk is borne by SIBL
Risk Mitigation
SIBL should issue purchase advice before the goods are purchased by the bank
4 Information MemorandumDeclaration
Purpose
To bind the agent to inform the principal immediately after the goods are possessed by the agent
Party Relationship
SIBL is the principal amp client is agent
Status of Relationship
Agency
Risk Involved
If information memorandum declaration is not issued ldquoin timerdquo immediately after the goods possessed by the agent the goods may be consumed by the agent in its
67 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
possession before the information memorandum declaration is issued by the agent thus once the goods have been consumed that do not exist accordingly consequently no sale purchase of such goods can be executed which do not exist however by neglecting this Shariah principal any act for the sale purchase of such goods will render such type of sale as void
Risk Mitigation
SIBL Compute average raw material consumption period in term of days for each respective client
= Average stock or stock value at any particular point in time
Average consumption of raw material per day
For example
45 days= x
842000360
x = BDT 103808
This 45 days period will be become bench mark under which SIBLrsquos concerned officer must take information memorandum declaration from the agent
However there should be a concrete product policy to monitor thata In case of locally manufactured goods there should not be lapse of 15 days
from the date the pay order demand draft is issued by the bank and declaration is issued by agent
b In case of imported goods there should be 15 days from the date the LC is established by the bank as opening issuing applicant bank amp information memorandum declaration is issued by the agent
5 Offer amp Acceptance For Murabaha
Purpose
To execute sale purchase between the bank amp client for the goods possessed by client as agent of bank
Relationship
Bank is the seller amp client is buyer
Risk Involved
68 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
If sale is not executed in time then bank involve in a risk of executing Murabaha contract for the goods which does not exist The reason being the client feels comfort while consuming the goods in its possession that the issuance of information memorandumdeclaration was the enough sufficient document to consume the goods
Further normally bank wait for receiving of commercial invoicesale tax invoice as an evidence of ownership to execute sale of Murabaha with the customer
Any other document which proves that ownership has been taken by the bank should be used to avoid ldquovoidrdquo contract of Murabaha Such documents in case of local manufactured goods are
a Railwaytruck receipt b Goods dispatch note issued by supplierc Goods received note being prepared at client premises
Whereas in case of import goods receiving of bill of lading is a first class document evidenced the ownership of bank
There are two kinds of possessiona Physicalb Constructive
through this kind of possession over goods is taken through a documents evidencing the transfer of ownership
Risk Mitigation
Immediately after receiving the information memorandumdeclaration from the client Murabaha contract should be executed on the same day based on constructive possession now on this stage following conditions of a valid sale are fulfilled
69 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
Condition of valid sales Parties to the contract for making offer amp acceptance Ownership of the subject matter with the seller Possession over the goods must be with the owner of the goods physical or constructive

bull Through this client and the bank execute an important step of a valid Murabaha sale ie Offer amp Acceptance
bull This is to be signed by the customer when it has purchased and taken possession of the goods as the Bankrsquos agent
bull Offer amp Acceptance must be signed while the goods are still in existence and have not been used in the production process or sold to some other entity
2 Rollover in Murabaha
bull Rollover in Murabaha is not allowed since each Murabaha transaction is for the purchase of a particular asset A new Murabaha can only be executed for the purchase of new assets
bull It is advisable that whenever practicable there must be a gap of 1-2 days between maturity of the previous Murabaha and disbursement of the new one
3 Rebate on Early Payments

bull It is not recommended to make it a practice and must be avoided in normal course of business Such issue if arises should be brought in the knowledge of Shariah advisor
4 Penalty on Late Payments
bull As soon as the Murabaha is executed the Murabaha price becomes a receivable for the Bank Hence any amount charged over and above the amount will be Riba

5 Subject Matter of Murabaha
bull Goods must exist at the time of execution of Murabaha
bull Murabaha cannot be done in all commodities eg such as currencies gold silver

bull The purchase evidence must confirm that the asset purchase took place after the agency agreement
bull Asset purchase may be in the form of Invoices delivery orders truck receipts etc
6 Purchase Evidence
bull In some cases however it may be too burdensome for the client to submit all the invoices as the number of invoices may run into hundreds
bull For example cotton purchases are generally in small quantities from various sources and hence for each Sub-Murabaha there may be too many invoices to submit It is suggested to furnish considerable sample of invoices along with summary of all purchases
7 Direct Payment in Murabaha
bull In many cases the disbursement is made to the customer as an agent of the bank
bull In order to ensure transparency of the Murabaha it is preferable that disbursement payment be made directly to the supplier

x = BDT 103808
This 45 days period will be become bench mark under which SIBLrsquos concerned officer must take information memorandum declaration from the agent
However there should be a concrete product policy to monitor thata In case of locally manufactured goods there should not be lapse of 15 days
from the date the pay order demand draft is issued by the bank and declaration is issued by agent
b In case of imported goods there should be 15 days from the date the LC is established by the bank as opening issuing applicant bank amp information memorandum declaration is issued by the agent

6 Purchase Evidence
bull In some cases however it may be too burdensome for the client to submit all the invoices as the number of invoices may run into hundreds

67 Accounting Procedure to Murabaha by SIBL
Measurement of asset value at accosting by SIBL Concepts of Financial Accounting for SIBL and Financial Institutions stipulates that historical cost shall be the basis used in measuring and recording the assets at the time of acquisition Therefore the assets possessed by the bank for the purpose of selling them on the basis of Murabaha purchase order shall be measured at the time of their acquisition on an historical cost basis In the cases where the asset value declines below cost whether due to damage destruction or from other unfavorable circumstances such decline shall be reflected in the valuation of the asset at the end of each financial period
In the case of Murabaha to the purchase ordered who is not obliged to fulfill his promise If the bank finds that there is an indication of possible non-recovery of the costs of goods available for
75 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
sale on the basis of Murabaha to the purchase order who is not obliged to fulfill his promise the asset shall be measured at the cash equivalent (ie net realizable) value This shall be achieved by creating a provision for a decline in the asset value to reflect the difference between acquisition cost and the cash equivalent value
Potential Discount to be Obtained after Acquisition of the Asset
(a) In cases where the bank is likely at the time of concluding the contract with the client to obtain a discount on the asset available for sale on the basis of Murabaha or Murabaha to the purchase order and the discount is in fact received subsequently such discount shall not be considered as revenue for the Islamic bank instead the cost of the relevant goods shall be reduced by the amount of the discount Consideration should be given to the impact this will have on both the profits of the current period and future deferred profits
(b) The discount may however be treated as revenue for the bank if this is decided by the Shariah supervisory board of the Islamic bank Such revenue shall be recognized in the income statement
Murabaha Receivables
Short-term or long-term Murabaha receivables shall be recorded at the time of occurrence at their face value Murabaha receivables are measured at the end of the financial period at their cash equivalent value Thus receivables are valued at the amount of debt due from the customers at the end of the financial period less any provision for doubtful debts
Profits Recognition
Profits of Murabaha or Murabaha to the purchase order are recognized at the time of contracting if the sale is for cash or on credit not exceeding the current financial period
Profits of a credit sale which will be paid for either by means of one payment due after the current financial period or by installments over several future financial periods shall be recognized by using one of the following two methods
(a) Proportionate allocation of profits over the period of the credit whereby each financial period shall carry its portion of profits irrespective of whether or not cash is received This is the preferred method
(b) As and when the installments are received This method shall be used based on a decision by the Shariah supervisory board of the bank or if it is required by the Supervisory authorities
Deferred Profits
76 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
Deferred profits shall be offset against Murabaha receivables in the statement of financial position
Early settlement with deduction of part of profit
Deduction of part of profit at the time of settlement If a client accelerates his payment of one or more installments prior to the date specified for such payment the bank may deduct part of the profit to be agreed upon between the bank and the client at the time of settlement The deducted amount shall be credited to the Murabaha receivable account and excluded from the profit recognized in respect of the installments
Deduction of part of the profit after settlement
The same accounting treatment applies if the client accelerates his payments one or more installments prior to the time specified for such payment and the bank did not allow the client a deduction of part of the profit but asked the client to pay the full amount and thereafter the bank reimbursed the client with part of the profit
Procrastination in payment by or insolvency of the client
Procrastination If the client is delinquent in paying his debt installments then any additional amount received by the Islamic bank from the client as a penalty (either by mutual agreement or by court ruling) shall be treated according to what the Shariah supervisory board of the Islamic bank deems appropriate either as
a) Revenue to the Islamic bank or
b) An allocation to a charity fund
Insolvency If it becomes evident that the clients non-payment was due to insolvency then the
bank cannot ask the client to pay any additional amount by way of penalty

(b) The discount may however be treated as revenue for the bank if this is decided by the Shariah supervisory board of the Islamic bank Such revenue shall be recognized in the income statement
Murabaha Receivables
Short-term or long-term Murabaha receivables shall be recorded at the time of occurrence at their face value Murabaha receivables are measured at the end of the financial period at their cash equivalent value Thus receivables are valued at the amount of debt due from the customers at the end of the financial period less any provision for doubtful debts

67 Accounting Procedure to Murabaha by SIBL
Measurement of asset value at accosting by SIBL Concepts of Financial Accounting for SIBL and Financial Institutions stipulates that historical cost shall be the basis used in measuring and recording the assets at the time of acquisition Therefore the assets possessed by the bank for the purpose of selling them on the basis of Murabaha purchase order shall be measured at the time of their acquisition on an historical cost basis In the cases where the asset value declines below cost whether due to damage destruction or from other unfavorable circumstances such decline shall be reflected in the valuation of the asset at the end of each financial period
In the case of Murabaha to the purchase ordered who is not obliged to fulfill his promise If the bank finds that there is an indication of possible non-recovery of the costs of goods available for
75 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
sale on the basis of Murabaha to the purchase order who is not obliged to fulfill his promise the asset shall be measured at the cash equivalent (ie net realizable) value This shall be achieved by creating a provision for a decline in the asset value to reflect the difference between acquisition cost and the cash equivalent value
Potential Discount to be Obtained after Acquisition of the Asset
(a) In cases where the bank is likely at the time of concluding the contract with the client to obtain a discount on the asset available for sale on the basis of Murabaha or Murabaha to the purchase order and the discount is in fact received subsequently such discount shall not be considered as revenue for the Islamic bank instead the cost of the relevant goods shall be reduced by the amount of the discount Consideration should be given to the impact this will have on both the profits of the current period and future deferred profits
(b) The discount may however be treated as revenue for the bank if this is decided by the Shariah supervisory board of the Islamic bank Such revenue shall be recognized in the income statement
Murabaha Receivables
Short-term or long-term Murabaha receivables shall be recorded at the time of occurrence at their face value Murabaha receivables are measured at the end of the financial period at their cash equivalent value Thus receivables are valued at the amount of debt due from the customers at the end of the financial period less any provision for doubtful debts
Profits Recognition
Profits of Murabaha or Murabaha to the purchase order are recognized at the time of contracting if the sale is for cash or on credit not exceeding the current financial period
Profits of a credit sale which will be paid for either by means of one payment due after the current financial period or by installments over several future financial periods shall be recognized by using one of the following two methods
(a) Proportionate allocation of profits over the period of the credit whereby each financial period shall carry its portion of profits irrespective of whether or not cash is received This is the preferred method
(b) As and when the installments are received This method shall be used based on a decision by the Shariah supervisory board of the bank or if it is required by the Supervisory authorities
Deferred Profits
76 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
Deferred profits shall be offset against Murabaha receivables in the statement of financial position
Early settlement with deduction of part of profit
Deduction of part of profit at the time of settlement If a client accelerates his payment of one or more installments prior to the date specified for such payment the bank may deduct part of the profit to be agreed upon between the bank and the client at the time of settlement The deducted amount shall be credited to the Murabaha receivable account and excluded from the profit recognized in respect of the installments
Deduction of part of the profit after settlement
The same accounting treatment applies if the client accelerates his payments one or more installments prior to the time specified for such payment and the bank did not allow the client a deduction of part of the profit but asked the client to pay the full amount and thereafter the bank reimbursed the client with part of the profit
Procrastination in payment by or insolvency of the client
Procrastination If the client is delinquent in paying his debt installments then any additional amount received by the Islamic bank from the client as a penalty (either by mutual agreement or by court ruling) shall be treated according to what the Shariah supervisory board of the Islamic bank deems appropriate either as
a) Revenue to the Islamic bank or
b) An allocation to a charity fund
Insolvency If it becomes evident that the clients non-payment was due to insolvency then the
bank cannot ask the client to pay any additional amount by way of penalty

[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
sale on the basis of Murabaha to the purchase order who is not obliged to fulfill his promise the asset shall be measured at the cash equivalent (ie net realizable) value This shall be achieved by creating a provision for a decline in the asset value to reflect the difference between acquisition cost and the cash equivalent value
Potential Discount to be Obtained after Acquisition of the Asset
(a) In cases where the bank is likely at the time of concluding the contract with the client to obtain a discount on the asset available for sale on the basis of Murabaha or Murabaha to the purchase order and the discount is in fact received subsequently such discount shall not be considered as revenue for the Islamic bank instead the cost of the relevant goods shall be reduced by the amount of the discount Consideration should be given to the impact this will have on both the profits of the current period and future deferred profits
(b) The discount may however be treated as revenue for the bank if this is decided by the Shariah supervisory board of the Islamic bank Such revenue shall be recognized in the income statement
Murabaha Receivables
Short-term or long-term Murabaha receivables shall be recorded at the time of occurrence at their face value Murabaha receivables are measured at the end of the financial period at their cash equivalent value Thus receivables are valued at the amount of debt due from the customers at the end of the financial period less any provision for doubtful debts
Profits Recognition
Profits of Murabaha or Murabaha to the purchase order are recognized at the time of contracting if the sale is for cash or on credit not exceeding the current financial period
Profits of a credit sale which will be paid for either by means of one payment due after the current financial period or by installments over several future financial periods shall be recognized by using one of the following two methods
(a) Proportionate allocation of profits over the period of the credit whereby each financial period shall carry its portion of profits irrespective of whether or not cash is received This is the preferred method
(b) As and when the installments are received This method shall be used based on a decision by the Shariah supervisory board of the bank or if it is required by the Supervisory authorities

Deduction of part of the profit after settlement
The same accounting treatment applies if the client accelerates his payments one or more installments prior to the time specified for such payment and the bank did not allow the client a deduction of part of the profit but asked the client to pay the full amount and thereafter the bank reimbursed the client with part of the profit
Procrastination in payment by or insolvency of the client
Procrastination If the client is delinquent in paying his debt installments then any additional amount received by the Islamic bank from the client as a penalty (either by mutual agreement or by court ruling) shall be treated according to what the Shariah supervisory board of the Islamic bank deems appropriate either as
a) Revenue to the Islamic bank or
b) An allocation to a charity fund

67 Accounting Procedure to Murabaha by SIBL
Measurement of asset value at accosting by SIBL Concepts of Financial Accounting for SIBL and Financial Institutions stipulates that historical cost shall be the basis used in measuring and recording the assets at the time of acquisition Therefore the assets possessed by the bank for the purpose of selling them on the basis of Murabaha purchase order shall be measured at the time of their acquisition on an historical cost basis In the cases where the asset value declines below cost whether due to damage destruction or from other unfavorable circumstances such decline shall be reflected in the valuation of the asset at the end of each financial period
In the case of Murabaha to the purchase ordered who is not obliged to fulfill his promise If the bank finds that there is an indication of possible non-recovery of the costs of goods available for
75 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
sale on the basis of Murabaha to the purchase order who is not obliged to fulfill his promise the asset shall be measured at the cash equivalent (ie net realizable) value This shall be achieved by creating a provision for a decline in the asset value to reflect the difference between acquisition cost and the cash equivalent value
Potential Discount to be Obtained after Acquisition of the Asset
(a) In cases where the bank is likely at the time of concluding the contract with the client to obtain a discount on the asset available for sale on the basis of Murabaha or Murabaha to the purchase order and the discount is in fact received subsequently such discount shall not be considered as revenue for the Islamic bank instead the cost of the relevant goods shall be reduced by the amount of the discount Consideration should be given to the impact this will have on both the profits of the current period and future deferred profits
(b) The discount may however be treated as revenue for the bank if this is decided by the Shariah supervisory board of the Islamic bank Such revenue shall be recognized in the income statement
Murabaha Receivables
Short-term or long-term Murabaha receivables shall be recorded at the time of occurrence at their face value Murabaha receivables are measured at the end of the financial period at their cash equivalent value Thus receivables are valued at the amount of debt due from the customers at the end of the financial period less any provision for doubtful debts
Profits Recognition
Profits of Murabaha or Murabaha to the purchase order are recognized at the time of contracting if the sale is for cash or on credit not exceeding the current financial period
Profits of a credit sale which will be paid for either by means of one payment due after the current financial period or by installments over several future financial periods shall be recognized by using one of the following two methods
(a) Proportionate allocation of profits over the period of the credit whereby each financial period shall carry its portion of profits irrespective of whether or not cash is received This is the preferred method
(b) As and when the installments are received This method shall be used based on a decision by the Shariah supervisory board of the bank or if it is required by the Supervisory authorities
Deferred Profits
76 | P a g e
[CHAPTER 6 SIBL EXPERINCE OF MURABAHA INVESTMENT]
Deferred profits shall be offset against Murabaha receivables in the statement of financial position
Early settlement with deduction of part of profit
Deduction of part of profit at the time of settlement If a client accelerates his payment of one or more installments prior to the date specified for such payment the bank may deduct part of the profit to be agreed upon between the bank and the client at the time of settlement The deducted amount shall be credited to the Murabaha receivable account and excluded from the profit recognized in respect of the installments
Deduction of part of the profit after settlement
The same accounting treatment applies if the client accelerates his payments one or more installments prior to the time specified for such payment and the bank did not allow the client a deduction of part of the profit but asked the client to pay the full amount and thereafter the bank reimbursed the client with part of the profit
Procrastination in payment by or insolvency of the client
Procrastination If the client is delinquent in paying his debt installments then any additional amount received by the Islamic bank from the client as a penalty (either by mutual agreement or by court ruling) shall be treated according to what the Shariah supervisory board of the Islamic bank deems appropriate either as
a) Revenue to the Islamic bank or
b) An allocation to a charity fund
Insolvency If it becomes evident that the clients non-payment was due to insolvency then the
bank cannot ask the client to pay any additional amount by way of penalty
