International trade plays a vital role in the economic growth of every country. Export business increases foreign exchange earnings, strengthens industries, and creates employment opportunities.

FINAL NOTE

Thank you for reading this practical guide.

Knowledge grows when shared honestly and professionally.

Back-to-Back Credit (Back-to-Back Letter of Credit)

A Back-to-Back Credit, commonly known as a Back-to-Back Letter of Credit (LC), is a facility provided by banks to exporters for opening an Import LC against the security of an Export LC already received from a foreign buyer.

This type of credit is widely used in export-oriented industries, especially in the garment and textile sector.

Basic Concept

When an exporter receives an Export LC from an overseas buyer, the exporter may still require imported raw materials or accessories to complete the export order. These materials may include:

Buttons
Zippers
Labels
Packing materials
Cloth accessories
Specialized fabrics

The exporter approaches his bank and requests the opening of an Import LC in favor of suppliers of these goods.

The bank opens the Import LC on the strength and security of the original Export LC already available with the bank.

Therefore:

The first LC is the Export LC received from the foreign buyer.
The second LC is the Import LC opened for purchasing raw materials.

Since the second LC is opened against the first LC, the arrangement is called a “Back-to-Back Credit.”

Practical Example

Suppose a garment exporter in Karachi receives an Export LC of USD 100,000 from a buyer in Germany for exporting ready-made garments.

To manufacture the garments, the exporter requires:

buttons from China,
zippers from Japan,
labels from Hong Kong.

The exporter requests his bank to open Import LCs for these accessories against the Export LC already received.

The bank evaluates the export order and opens the required Import LCs. These Import LCs are known as Back-to-Back Credits.

Important Banking Considerations

Before opening a Back-to-Back LC, the bank generally checks:

Authenticity of the Export LC
Creditworthiness of the exporter
Shipment dates and expiry dates
Margin and security requirements
Value of import items compared with export order
Timely realization of export proceeds

Advantages of Back-to-Back Credit

Helps exporters arrange raw materials easily
Encourages export business
Supports export-oriented industries
Reduces financial burden on exporters
Facilitates smooth completion of export orders

Conclusion

Back-to-Back Credit is an important foreign trade financing facility that enables exporters to import necessary materials against confirmed export orders. It plays a significant role in promoting exports and supporting international trade operations.

Practical Banking Operations – A 43-Year Banker’s Guide

Chapter 1: Introduction to Banking Operations

Banking is the backbone of trade, commerce, and economic growth. Over my 43-year career in nine major banks, I have handled thousands of transactions, ranging from local deposits to complex international trade finance. This book aims to provide practical knowledge for bankers, finance professionals, students, and business owners who want to understand how banking operations work in real-world scenarios.

Banking operations cover a wide range of activities, including:

Customer Account Management: Opening, maintaining, and closing accounts while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
Payments and Collections: Handling cash, cheques, electronic transfers, and remittances efficiently and securely.
Trade Finance: Managing letters of credit, bills of exchange, import/export financing, and risk management in international trade.
Credit Operations: Evaluating loan applications, sanctioning credit, and monitoring repayments.
Treasury & Forex Operations: Managing foreign currency transactions, remittances, and market risks.
Compliance & Risk Management: Ensuring that all operations adhere to banking laws, regulations, and internal policies.

In this book, I focus especially on Letters of Credit, Trade Finance, and Bills of Exchange, as these are the pillars of international banking operations. While theory is important, the strength of this guide lies in practical examples, step-by-step processes, and real-life experiences that I have encountered throughout my career.

By the end of this book, readers will have a clear understanding of:

How to handle complex banking instruments confidently.
Procedures for trade finance operations, including documentation, compliance, and settlement.
Practical steps for bills of exchange, endorsements, and collection.
Real-world banking insights that are often not taught in textbooks.

This book is designed to be practical, accessible, and easy to follow, with each chapter building on the knowledge of the previous one. Whether you are a new banker, a business owner, or a student of finance, this guide will equip you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to navigate the world of banking operations.

Account number = Local format

Final Words
Using correct IBAN ensures smooth international transfers.

What Is SWIFT Code and Why It Is Important in Banking

Introduction
SWIFT code is a unique identification code for banks used in international transactions. Every bank involved in international transfers has its own SWIFT code.

With my 43 years of banking experience, I will explain it in simple words.

What Is SWIFT Code?
SWIFT stands for Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication. It is an international network that allows banks to exchange secure financial messages.

Why SWIFT Code Is Important
Identifies bank branch
Ensures correct routing
Prevents delays
Improves security

Where Customers Find SWIFT Code
Bank statement
Cheque book
Bank website
From branch

Example of SWIFT Code
HBLPKKAXXX
HBL = Bank
PK = Pakistan
KA = Karachi
XXX = Branch

Common Mistakes
Wrong code
Old code
Missing branch code

Final Words
Always confirm SWIFT code before sending money to avoid delay.

How International Bank Transfers Work (From Sender to Receiver)

Introduction

International bank transfer is a common banking service used for sending money from one country to another. Customers often ask how their money travels and how long it takes.

With my 43 years of banking experience, I will explain the complete process in simple words.

What Is an International Bank Transfer?

It is the movement of money from a sender’s bank in one country to a receiver’s bank in another country using secure banking networks.

Information Required

Sender name
Receiver name
Receiver account number
Bank name
SWIFT code
Amount

Step-by-Step Process

Sender submits transfer request
Sender bank verifies details
Sender bank sends SWIFT message
Correspondent bank processes
Receiver bank credits account

How Long It Takes

Normally: 1 to 3 working days
Sometimes: Up to 5 days

Charges Involved

Sending bank charges
Intermediary bank charges
Receiving bank charges

Common Problems

Wrong account number
Wrong SWIFT code
Compliance checks

Final Words

International transfers are safe and reliable when correct details are provided.

If you are a banking student or junior officer in the USA or any country, this guide will help you understand real-world international remittance operations.

DAY 4

Difference Between Demand Draft, Pay Order, and Banker’s Cheque

Introduction

Customers often confuse these three instruments. Every banker should clearly understand their differences.

1) Demand Draft (DD)

Used for outstation payments
Issued by one branch, payable at another
Safer than cash

2) Pay Order (PO)

Used for same-city payments
Issued and payable by same branch
Common for fees and small payments

3) Banker’s Cheque

Similar to Pay Order
Used for urgent payments
High security

Comparison Table (Simple)

Demand Draft → Outstation
Pay Order → Same city
Banker’s Cheque → Same city

Why Banks Use These Instruments

Reduce cash handling
Prevent fraud
Provide proof of payment

Irrevocable Credit and Revocable Credit

In international trade, buyers and sellers often use a Letter of Credit (L/C) issued by a bank to ensure safe payment. Two important types of credit are Irrevocable Credit and Revocable Credit.

1. Revocable Credit

A Revocable Credit is a type of Letter of Credit that can be amended or cancelled by the issuing bank at any time without prior notice to the beneficiary (exporter).

In this type of credit, the buyer and the issuing bank have the power to change the terms or cancel the credit before payment is made. Because of this uncertainty, the exporter does not get full protection.

Due to the high risk for the seller, revocable credits are rarely used in modern international trade.

Key features of Revocable Credit:

The issuing bank can modify or cancel the credit at any time.
No prior consent of the beneficiary is required.
It provides less security to the exporter.
Rarely used under modern banking practice.

2. Irrevocable Credit

An Irrevocable Credit is a Letter of Credit that cannot be amended or cancelled without the agreement of all parties involved, including the issuing bank, the confirming bank (if any), and the beneficiary.

This type of credit provides strong protection to the exporter because once the credit is issued, the bank must honor the payment if the exporter presents the required documents according to the terms of the credit.

Today, under the rules of International Chamber of Commerce and UCP 600, almost all Letters of Credit are treated as Irrevocable Credits unless otherwise stated.

Key features of Irrevocable Credit:

Cannot be cancelled or amended without consent of all parties.
Provides strong security to the exporter.
Widely used in international trade.
Payment is guaranteed if documents comply with credit terms.

Currency Basket in the International Market

Author: Mukhtar Ahmed Khan

Introduction

In the international market, the concept of a currency basket has always been an essential tool for managing exchange rate risks, stabilizing currencies, and guiding monetary policy. During my professional training at the UBL Staff College in 1988, I learned the fundamental principles of currency selection in international trade and money markets. At that time, there were certain currencies that were considered "hot" — that is, highly liquid, widely accepted, and easily convertible in global financial markets. These currencies formed the backbone of what we called the currency basket.

The idea of a currency basket is simple yet powerful. Instead of relying on a single foreign currency for international trade, central banks, financial institutions, and large corporations combine a group of selected currencies. This reduces the risk associated with fluctuations in any one currency and provides a more stable benchmark for international transactions.

The Hot Currencies of the 1980s

During my training in 1988, the international money market was much simpler compared to today’s complex global financial system. There were a few currencies that dominated trade and investment because they were strong, stable, and easily convertible. These currencies were widely recognized and trusted by traders, bankers, and governments.

The primary currencies included:

US Dollar (USD) – The global reserve currency, widely used in trade and finance.
British Pound (GBP) – A traditional currency with deep historical significance and global acceptance.
Japanese Yen (JPY) – Representing a major industrial and economic power in Asia.
Swiss Franc (CHF) – Known for stability and considered a “safe haven” currency.
Deutsche Mark (DM) – Germany’s currency, strong in trade and financial transactions.
Italian Lira (ITL) – Widely used in European trade during that era.
Other Select Currencies – There were a few more, though my memory recalls them less clearly, which were also part of the hot currency group because of their convertibility and acceptance in international settlements.

These currencies were actively monitored, exchanged, and traded in money markets. They formed the practical basis for a currency basket, which could be used to measure value, stabilize exchange rates, and guide import-export operations.

Why Use a Currency Basket?

Using a currency basket has several advantages:

Risk Diversification: Relying on multiple currencies reduces exposure to fluctuations of a single currency. For example, if the US Dollar weakens, the other currencies in the basket can compensate.
Stability in Trade: A basket ensures that international transactions are more predictable, making pricing and accounting smoother.
Policy Reference: Central banks can peg their national currency to a basket rather than a single foreign currency, offering greater flexibility and resilience.
Global Acceptance: Hot currencies are those that traders and governments trust and accept worldwide, ensuring liquidity and ease of conversion.

Application in the 1980s Money Market

In those days, money markets were less automated and highly dependent on the knowledge of hot currencies. During my training, we learned that only certain currencies could be confidently included in a currency basket. This required:

Monitoring international demand and supply of currencies.
Understanding convertibility – how easily a currency could be exchanged for others.
Assessing global stability – avoiding currencies prone to sudden devaluation.

The practical lesson was clear: choosing the right currencies for the basket was critical for both trade and monetary stability. A poorly selected basket could lead to losses, inefficiencies, or unpredictability in international transactions.

Conclusion

The concept of a currency basket is not new, and its relevance in international trade has only increased over the decades. My experience in the Staff College in 1988 taught me that a currency basket is a carefully chosen group of strong, liquid currencies, designed to minimize risk and maximize reliability in global finance.

Even today, the principles remain the same: diversification, convertibility, and trustworthiness of the selected currencies are the keys to creating a functional and effective currency basket.

This understanding, developed in the early days of my banking career, has been a guiding principle in my professional life and forms the foundation of modern foreign exchange management.

Principles of International Trade AND 15 Basic Points to Learn**

**Author: Mukhtar Ahmed Khan**

1. Introduction to International Trade**

International trade refers to the exchange of goods and services between countries. It allows businesses to expand beyond local markets and access a wider customer base. Through international trade, countries can specialize in producing goods where they have an advantage and import items that are not available domestically. This leads to better resource utilization and economic growth.

In today’s globalized world, international trade plays a vital role in strengthening economies, creating employment, and improving living standards. However, it also requires proper understanding of regulations, currency systems, and trade practices to operate successfully.

---

2. Export Market – How and Where to Start**

Entering an export market requires careful planning and research. Businesses must first identify countries where there is demand for their products. This can be done through market surveys, trade reports, and customer analysis.

It is important to understand cultural preferences, pricing structures, and competition in the target market. A small exporter can start with nearby countries or markets with easier entry requirements, gradually expanding as experience grows.

3. Sources of Information**

Reliable information is essential for successful international trade. Exporters can gather data from government trade departments, chambers of commerce, trade fairs, and online trade platforms.

Banks and financial institutions also provide valuable insights into foreign markets and trade practices. Accurate information helps businesses make informed decisions and avoid unnecessary risks.

4. Methods of Selling Abroad**

There are several methods used in international trade to ensure secure transactions. The most common include:

* Letter of Credit (LC)

* Documentary Collections

* Open Account Transactions

Each method has its own level of risk and security. For example, an LC provides strong protection to both buyer and seller, while open account transactions are based on trust and long-term relationships.

5. Permissions Exporters May Require**

Exporters must comply with legal and regulatory requirements before selling goods internationally. This may include export licenses, permits, and certifications depending on the product and destination country.

Failure to obtain proper permissions can result in delays, penalties, or cancellation of shipments. Therefore, understanding regulatory requirements is a key responsibility of exporters.

6. Learn Market Conditions**

Before entering any market, it is important to study its economic and business environment. This includes understanding demand trends, customer preferences, pricing levels, and competitor activity.

Currency exchange rates and political conditions also influence trade decisions. A well-informed exporter can adjust strategies according to market conditions and improve chances of success.

7. Risk Assessment and Decision Making

International trade involves various risks such as non-payment, currency fluctuations, and political instability. Exporters must evaluate these risks before entering into any agreement.

Proper planning, use of secure payment methods, and insurance coverage can help reduce risks. Sound decision-making ensures long-term stability and profitability in international business.

8. Export Services Provided by Banks**

Banks play a crucial role in facilitating international trade. They offer services such as trade finance, foreign exchange transactions, letters of credit, and bank guarantees.

These services help exporters manage cash flow, reduce risk, and ensure smooth transactions. Banks also provide advisory support to guide businesses in complex trade operations.

9. Introduction of Foreign Banks**

Foreign banks support international trade by providing global financial services. They assist businesses in handling cross-border transactions, currency exchange, and trade financing.

Institutions in major financial centers, such as London, play an important role in global trade by connecting markets and facilitating international payments.

10. The Bank of England

The Bank of England is the central bank of the United Kingdom and plays a key role in maintaining financial stability. It regulates monetary policy, controls inflation, and supports the banking system.

Its policies influence global financial markets and international trade activities, making it an important institution in the world economy.

11. Clearing Banks Working Abroad**

Clearing banks handle the settlement of financial transactions between different banks. In international trade, they ensure that payments are processed efficiently and securely.

They play a vital role in handling letters of credit, remittances, and interbank settlements across countries.

12. Overseas Branches of International Banks and Joint Stock Banks**

International banks establish overseas branches to support global trade activities. These branches provide financial services to exporters and importers in different countries.

Joint stock banks, owned by shareholders, also participate in trade financing and investment activities, helping businesses grow internationally.

-13. Merchant and Investment Banks**

Merchant banks specialize in trade finance and advisory services. They assist companies in raising capital and managing financial transactions.

Investment banks, on the other hand, focus on large-scale financial activities such as mergers, acquisitions, and capital market operations. Both play important roles in international trade.

14. Other Financial Institutions**

Apart from banks, several other institutions support international trade. These include export credit agencies, development banks, and insurance companies.

They provide financial assistance, risk coverage, and guarantees to exporters, enabling them to operate confidently in foreign markets.

15. Banking Groups**

Banking groups consist of multiple banks operating under a unified management system. These groups offer a wide range of financial services across different countries.

Their global presence allows them to support international trade efficiently by providing integrated solutions, including financing, risk management, and advisory service

Chapter 1: Introduction to Bank Guarantees

A Bank Guarantee is a written commitment issued by a bank on behalf of its customer (applicant), assuring the beneficiary that the bank will pay a specified amount if the customer fails to fulfill contractual obligations.

Bank Guarantees play a vital role in both domestic and international trade. They provide security and confidence to the beneficiary, ensuring that financial or performance obligations will be honored.

Unlike Letters of Credit, which are used for payment in trade transactions, Bank Guarantees are primarily used as a risk mitigation tool. They act as a safety mechanism, protecting the beneficiary against default or non-performance.

In practical banking operations, guarantees are widely used in:

Construction projects
Government contracts
Import/export transactions
Business agreements

A banker must clearly understand the nature, wording, and risks involved in issuing guarantees, as improper handling may expose the bank to financial loss.

With over 43 years of banking experience, I have observed that careful evaluation and proper documentation are the keys to safe and effective guarantee operations

**Banking Knowledge Series**

**Finance Against Pledge and Hypothecation**

In banking practice, businesses often obtain short-term finance from banks against their goods or stock. Two commonly used methods are **Pledge** and **Hypothecation**. Both are forms of secured lending, but they differ in control and security strength.

**1. Finance Against Pledge**

In a pledge arrangement, the borrower physically delivers the goods or commodities to the bank as security for the loan. The bank takes **possession of the goods** and keeps them in its custody or in an approved warehouse under the bank’s control.

Since the bank has direct possession of the pledged goods, the risk is lower. If the borrower fails to repay the loan, the bank has the legal right to **sell the pledged goods** and recover its dues.

For this reason, pledge is considered a **stronger and safer form of security for banks**.

**2. Finance Against Hypothecation**

In hypothecation, the borrower offers goods or stock as security but **retains possession of the goods**. The bank only has a charge over the assets but does not physically control them.

Because the goods remain with the borrower, the bank relies on **stock statements, inspections, and trust** to monitor the security. If the borrower misuses or sells the goods without repayment, the bank's position becomes weaker.

Therefore, hypothecation is generally considered a **weaker form of security compared with pledge**.

**Key Difference**

The major difference between pledge and hypothecation is **possession of the goods**:

* In **Pledge**, the bank has possession of the goods.

* In **Hypothecation**, the borrower keeps possession.

Because of this, pledge provides **stronger protection to the bank**, while hypothecation involves **higher risk**.

**Conclusion**

Both pledge and hypothecation are important tools used by banks to provide working capital finance to businesses. However, from a banker’s perspective, **pledge is a safer form of security**, while hypothecation requires careful monitoring through stock statements and inspections.

**What is a Bill of Exchange?**

A Bill of Exchange is an important financial instrument widely used in banking and commercial transactions. It is a **written order** by one person directing another person to pay a specified sum of money to a third party either on demand or at a fixed future date.

In simple words, a Bill of Exchange is a **document that guarantees payment** between parties involved in a business transaction.

**Parties Involved in a Bill of Exchange**

There are normally three parties involved:

1. **Drawer** – The person who writes or issues the bill.

2. **Drawee** – The person who is directed to pay the money.

3. **Payee** – The person who receives the payment.

For example, when a seller supplies goods to a buyer on credit, the seller may draw a Bill of Exchange on the buyer asking him to pay the amount after a certain period, such as 30 or 60 days.

**How a Bill of Exchange Works**

When the bill is presented to the buyer (drawee), the buyer accepts the bill by signing it. After acceptance, it becomes a legal commitment to pay the specified amount on the due date.

Banks also play an important role in Bills of Exchange. Sometimes the holder of the bill can present it to a bank for **discounting**, meaning the bank pays the amount earlier after deducting a small charge.

**Types of Bills of Exchange**

There are generally two types:

* **Trade Bill** – Used in commercial trade between buyer and seller.

* **Accommodation Bill** – Issued without a genuine trade transaction, mainly to help someone obtain finance.

**Importance in Banking and Trade**

Bills of Exchange have been used for many years in international and domestic trade. They help businesses buy and sell goods on credit while providing legal assurance of payment.

**Conclusion**

A Bill of Exchange is a reliable and legally recognized document that facilitates credit transactions and promotes trust between buyers and sellers. It also enables banks to support trade through financing and discounting facilities.

THE LONDON'S FINANCIAL MARKET

STOCK MARKET WHERE ALL CENTRAL BANKS , RESERVE BANKS AND BROKER AND REPRESENTATIVE OF AUTHORISE DEALERS TRADE(SALE AND BUY) FOR SHORT TERMS

OF TREASURY BILLS/BONDS/DEBENTURE/INVESTMENT BOND. SHORT TERMS , LESS THEN 1 YEAR.

Hello My dear Friends

Asslam o Alykum

I am your host Mukhtar Ahmed Khan welcome to my channel to explain you or letting you to know about

MONEY MARKET A money market refers to a sector of the financial market where short-term borrowing, lending, buying, and selling of financial instruments take place. These instruments typically have high liquidity and short maturities, usually less than a year. The money market is an essential component of the global financial system, providing a means for governments, financial institutions, and corporations to manage their short-term funding needs and liquidity.

The Key Instruments in the Money Market:

1.Treasury Bills (T-Bills): Short-term government securities with maturities ranging from a few days to a year.

2 Commercial Paper: Unsecured, short-term debt issued by corporations to finance their immediate needs.

3 Certificates of Deposit (CDs): Time deposits offered by banks with fixed interest rates and specified maturity dates.

4. Repurchase Agreements (Repos): Short-term loans where securities are sold with an agreement to repurchase them at a higher price at a later date.

5. Bankers' Acceptances: Promissory notes issued by a bank, often used in international trade.

The Key Features:

Liquidity: Money market instruments are highly liquid, meaning they can be quickly converted to cash.

Safety: The instruments are generally considered low-risk because they are issued by reputable entities like governments and large corporations. Interest Rates: Interest rates in the money market are typically lower than those in other financial markets due to the short-term nature of the instruments.

The money market is crucial for ensuring that entities can manage their short-term cash flows effectively, maintaining overall financial stability.

Shipment Shipping Terms Chapter1 Expanded

SHIPMENT AND SHIPPING TERMS

Practical Guide to International Trade, Transport and Incoterms

By Mukhtar Ahmed Khan

Chapter 1

Introduction to International Shipment and Shipping Terms

International trade has become one of the most important pillars of the modern world economy. Every country, whether developed or developing, depends upon international commerce for the import of raw materials, machinery, technology, industrial products, food items, petroleum products, and consumer goods. Similarly, countries export their manufactured products, agricultural commodities, minerals, textiles, engineering goods, chemicals, and services to earn valuable foreign exchange and strengthen their economies.

The rapid growth of globalization, industrialization, communication systems, containerized transportation, aviation facilities, shipping services, and banking networks has greatly expanded international trade during recent decades. Goods are now transported daily between different continents through sea, air, rail, road, courier, pipeline, and multimodal transport systems.

Unlike domestic trade transactions, international trade involves commercial dealings between parties located in different countries and operating under different legal systems, currencies, customs regulations, transportation rules, banking procedures, insurance requirements, and commercial practices. Due to these differences, international sales contracts possess characteristics that are generally not present in domestic market sales.

In domestic trade, the seller and buyer usually operate within the same country under a single legal framework, common language, identical currency, and local transportation arrangements. However, in international trade, commercial parties may face numerous operational and documentary complexities.

The completion of an international sale transaction often requires the buyer and seller to enter into additional agreements and supporting contracts. These may include:

Contracts of carriage
Contracts of marine insurance
Banking arrangements
Freight forwarding agreements
Inspection contracts
Customs clearance procedures
Warehousing arrangements
Port handling contracts
Transportation agreements

The documentation relating to these contracts is frequently required to evidence or ensure the due performance of the international sales contract. These documents provide proof regarding shipment, ownership, insurance coverage, delivery, inspection, transportation, and payment.

The payment aspect of international trade also requires special banking arrangements. Unlike local trade, international commercial transactions may involve documentary credits, documentary collections, reimbursement arrangements, telegraphic transfers, foreign exchange regulations, exchange control formalities, and banking guarantees.

Consequently, banks play a vital role in international trade transactions and often become an integral part of the performance and settlement of the sales contract.

The trade terms agreed between buyer and seller are commonly based upon the rules published by the International Chamber of Commerce under the internationally recognized publication known as Incoterms.

Incoterms define the rights, obligations, responsibilities, costs, risks, transportation obligations, insurance responsibilities, and delivery arrangements between commercial parties engaged in international trade.

These internationally accepted trade terms reduce misunderstandings, disputes, litigation, and confusion in commercial dealings between exporters and importers situated in different countries.

The importance of shipment and shipping terms has increased significantly due to the expansion of global trade and modern transportation systems.

Today, goods are transported internationally through various modes of transport including:

Ocean transport
Air transport
Railway transport
Road transport
Inland water transport
Containerized transport
Courier services
Multimodal transport systems

Each method of transport requires specific commercial documents and transport documents.

The successful handling of international trade transactions therefore requires practical knowledge of shipment procedures, transport documentation, insurance practices, Incoterms, customs regulations, and banking operations.

Development of Incoterms

The International Chamber of Commerce introduced Incoterms to provide uniform international rules for the interpretation of commonly used trade terms in foreign trade contracts.

Before the introduction of Incoterms, many disputes frequently arose due to different interpretations of commercial trade expressions in various countries.

To eliminate misunderstandings and establish international uniformity, the International Chamber of Commerce published the first version of Incoterms in 1936.

Since then, Incoterms have undergone several revisions to accommodate changing international trade practices, transportation developments, containerization, multimodal transportation systems, and technological advancement.

Important revisions were introduced in:

1953
1967
1976
1980
1990
2000
2010
2020

Incoterms 1980

Incoterms 1980 introduced important modifications to accommodate the growing use of container traffic and multimodal transportation systems.

During this revision, the trade term Free Carrier (FRC), now commonly known as FCA, was introduced to address the needs of containerized transport.

Traditional shipping terms such as FOB were originally designed for sea shipment where goods passed the ship's rail. However, containerized cargo handling procedures required more flexible trade terms suitable for modern transport systems.

Revisions Between 1990 and 2010

Between 1990 and 2010, Incoterms were revised regularly to reflect:

Electronic communication systems
Digital documentation
Modern transport practices
Containerization
Security requirements
International logistics developments
Multimodal transportation systems

These revisions helped simplify international trade documentation and improved clarity regarding the obligations of buyers and sellers.

Incoterms 2020

Incoterms 2020 is the latest version currently in force.

Several important modifications were introduced under Incoterms 2020.

DAT Renamed to DPU

The trade term DAT (Delivered at Terminal) was replaced with DPU (Delivered at Place Unloaded).

This change clarified that the delivery destination could be any agreed place and not necessarily a transport terminal.

FCA and Bills of Lading

Under FCA arrangements, buyers and sellers may now agree that the carrier will issue an onboard bill of lading to the seller after loading.

This provision is particularly useful in documentary credit transactions where banks require onboard transport documents before negotiating export documents.

Insurance Coverage Changes

Under Incoterms 2020:

CIP now requires higher insurance coverage under Institute Cargo Clauses (A).
CIF continues with the lower minimum insurance coverage under Institute Cargo Clauses (C).

These changes reflect modern commercial requirements and provide greater protection under certain shipment arrangements.

Importance of Shipping Terms in International Trade

Shipment and shipping terms form the backbone of international commercial transactions.

The proper selection of shipping terms helps determine:

The point of delivery
Transfer of ownership
Transfer of risk
Responsibility for freight charges
Insurance obligations
Customs clearance responsibilities
Export formalities
Import formalities
Port charges
Handling expenses
Transportation obligations

A misunderstanding regarding shipping terms can result in serious disputes between buyers and sellers.

For example, confusion may arise regarding:

Who should arrange shipment?
Who should pay freight?
Who should obtain insurance?
At what point does risk transfer?
Who bears customs duties?
Who is responsible for loading and unloading?
Which party should prepare shipping documents?

Therefore, a practical understanding of shipping terms is essential for exporters, importers, bankers, shipping companies, freight forwarders, customs officials, insurance companies, and students of international trade.

Common Shipping and Trade Terms

The following international trade terms are commonly used in international commerce:

EXW — Ex Works
FCA — Free Carrier
FAS — Free Alongside Ship
FOB — Free on Board
CFR / CNF — Cost and Freight
CIF — Cost Insurance and Freight
CPT — Carriage Paid To
CIP — Carriage and Insurance Paid To
DAF — Delivered at Frontier
DDP — Delivered Duty Paid
DPU — Delivered at Place Unloaded

Older commercial abbreviations sometimes referred to in trade practice include:

FOR — Free on Rail
FOT — Free on Truck
FOA — Free on Airport
EXS — Ex Ship
EXQ — Ex Quay

Each trade term defines specific obligations regarding transportation, risk, delivery, insurance, documentation, and cost allocation.

Shipping Documents in International Trade

International trade transactions require various commercial and transport documents.

These documents perform important functions including:

Evidence of shipment
Evidence of ownership
Evidence of insurance coverage
Customs clearance support
Banking negotiation support
Delivery instructions
Cargo identification
Freight calculation

The major shipping and commercial documents include:

Bill of Lading
Air Waybill
Railway Receipt
Road Consignment Note
Multimodal Transport Document
Commercial Invoice
Packing List
Certificate of Origin
Insurance Policy
Inspection Certificate
Weight Certificate
Mate Receipt
Shipping Advice

Each document plays an important role in international shipment procedures.

Bill of Lading

The Bill of Lading is one of the most important transport documents used in international sea trade.

It is issued by the shipping company or carrier acknowledging receipt of goods for shipment.

The Bill of Lading performs three important functions:

Receipt for goods shipped
Evidence of contract of carriage
Document of title to goods

The Bill of Lading contains details regarding:

Name of shipper
Name of consignee
Notify party
Description of goods
Quantity and marks
Port of loading
Port of discharge

Professional Legacy – 43 Years of Banking Excellence

1️⃣ Introduction

I dedicated 43 years of my life to banking, following the legacy of Mr. Agha Hassan Abedi, Founder of UBL.
My career was guided by discipline, honesty, punctuality, and strategic thinking, applied to real-world banking operations.
During this time, I learned how Pakistan contributed to banking and airline development in the Gulf region, and how dynamic leadership and operational excellence can create sustainable growth and multi-stream earnings.

2️⃣ UBL Legacy and Personal Learning

From 1974 to 2017, I learned from and preserved the legacy of UBL, observing senior executives and management boards.
I absorbed lessons in:

Boldness and prompt decision-making to meet client needs
Operational discipline and professionalism
Strategic foresight and corporate thinking

UBL was a pioneer:

First to introduce Mainframe Computers in 1958
Emphasized upward mobility and growth, symbolized by the arrow in its logo
Cultivated a culture of sharp, well-dressed, punctual, and intelligent personnel

I was fortunate to be selected among the cream of talent for international assignments with BCCI, though family obligations kept me in Pakistan.
These experiences reinforced that discipline, intelligence, and professional presentation are as critical as technical expertise in banking leadership.

3️⃣ Mastery of KYC & Core Principles

Mastery of KYC (Know Your Customer) was central to my banking philosophy.
Through accurate client assessment, I ensured:

Risk mitigation while enabling high-value transactions
Prompt action in line with Turnaround Time (TAT)
Client retention, preventing them from seeking competitors
Future revenue streams through LCs, guarantees, PAD markups, remittances, and pledged securities

Core Principle: Knowledge, prudence, and swift decision-making form the pillars of banking success.

4️⃣ Corporate Thinking & Targeting Corporate Clients

A corporate thinker anticipates market events and client needs to create multiple revenue streams for the bank.
Strategic actions include:

Structuring deals for high-value corporate clients
Creating a network through banking exchanges, professional clubs, and corporate circles
Leveraging financial instruments and guarantees to generate a series of earnings
Maintaining strong relationships with top-tier clients while managing risk prudently

This approach combines Mastery of KYC, prompt decision-making, and strategic foresight, enabling banks to grow sustainably while serving their most important clients.

5️⃣ Pakistan’s Contributions & Economic Impact

Pakistan’s bankers contributed significantly in the Gulf region, especially in banking and airline setup, bringing knowledge, talent, and operational excellence.
Domestically, UBL’s progressive loan policies financed businesses of all sizes, including:

Corporate giants: Conforcel Ltd, National Motor, General Motors, Ghandra Nissan, National Cement
Infrastructure projects: Tarbela Joint Venture and other industrial ventures

These efforts stimulated Pakistan’s economy, created employment, and built industrial capacity.
Dynamic leadership and strategic vision allowed UBL to expand internationally while supporting national development.

6️⃣ Closing / Legacy Statement

My 43-year journey reflects a lifelong commitment to excellence, strategic thinking, and ethical banking.
I carry forward:

The legacy of UBL and Agha Hassan Abedi
Mastery of KYC and risk-based decision-making
Corporate thinking and strategic foresight
Recognition of Pakistan’s historic contributions in banking and industry

Through this record, I aim to share knowledge, inspire future professionals, and preserve the truth of history and professional practice.

Polished Version (English – Professional Banking Insight)

In banking, proper assessment of KYC (Know Your Customer) is a key determinant of success.
With accurate risk evaluation, a bank can confidently open high-value instruments, such as a million-dollar Letter of Credit (LC) at minimal margin, knowing it will generate future revenue streams.
These streams may include:

Guarantees and contingent liabilities
PAD markups
Purchase Orders (PO)
Remittances
Pledged securities
Stocks held under lien

Each of these instruments contributes to a series of earnings, creating sustainable and diversified profitability for the bank while maintaining prudent risk management.

Short Version (For Website / Highlights)

KYC mastery = Bank success. Accurate assessment allows high-value transactions with minimal margin, generating multiple revenue streams across guarantees, remittances, pledges, and more.

Arabic Version (Optional)

في المصارف، تقييم العميل (KYC) بشكل دقيق هو مفتاح النجاح.
من خلال التقييم السليم للمخاطر، يمكن للبنك فتح اعتمادات مستندية بملايين الدولارات بهوامش منخفضة، مع ضمان توليد سلاسل من الإيرادات المستقبلية، مثل:

الضمانات
هامش PAD
أوامر الشراء (PO)
الحوالات المالية
الأسهم المرهونة

تساهم كل من هذه الأدوات في سلسلة من الأرباح المستدامة والمتنوعة للبنك، مع الحفاظ على إدارة المخاطر بحكمة.

What is Financial Document? Bill of Exchange

Section 5/1881 Negotiable Instrument Act

Bill of Exchange is an Instrument in writing signed by the maker, directing certain to pay on demand at a fix or determinable future time, certain sum or money to the bearer of the instrument

“For Commerce & Banking students:
Simple explanation of PAD (Payment Against Documents) in Import Banking — based on practical experience.”

This keeps you:

✅ PAD (Payment Against Documents) – Key Notes

1️⃣ Importance of PAD in Import Department

PAD is crucial in the Import Department of a bank.
When any document is lodged in PAD, the bank passes the accounting entries:
- Debit: PAD / Customer Account
- Credit: Foreign Exporter’s Bank
This ensures the transaction is recorded correctly and the bank’s liability is managed.

2️⃣ Export Negotiation

Once you negotiate the documents (i.e., pay the exporter), the payment cannot be reversed.
This emphasizes the need for:
- Careful scrutiny before lodgement
- Proper verification of all LC documents
- Checking for discrepancies

3️⃣ Key Lesson

Always remember:
“Bank deals in documents, not goods.”
Proper PAD handling protects the client and the bank from financial loss or legal issues.

How Bank Officers Calculate Interest on Loans (Step-by-Step Guide)

Introduction

Interest calculation is one of the most important tasks performed by bank officers. Whether it is a personal loan, car loan, or business loan, correct interest calculation ensures transparency between the bank and the customer.

After more than 43 years of experience in banking, I will explain in simple words how banks calculate interest.

What Is Loan Interest?

Loan interest is the extra amount a customer pays to the bank for using borrowed money.

Example:
If you borrow 100,000 and interest rate is 12% per year, you must pay interest in addition to the principal.

Types of Interest Used in Banks

Simple Interest
Compound Interest
Reducing Balance Interest

Most banks use reducing balance method.

Simple Interest Formula

Interest = Principal × Rate × Time

Example:
100,000 × 12% × 1 year = 12,000

Total payable = 112,000

Reducing Balance Method (Most Common)

Interest is calculated on remaining balance.

Example:
Loan: 100,000
Rate: 12% per year
Tenure: 1 year

Monthly interest rate = 12 ÷ 12 = 1%

Month 1 Interest = 1% of 100,000 = 1,000
After payment, balance reduces.
Next month interest is calculated on new balance.

This system is fair for customers.

Why Banks Prefer Reducing Balance

Fair system
Lower risk
Transparent calculation

Tools Used by Bank Officers

Financial Calculator
Core Banking Software
Excel Sheets

Final Words

Understanding interest calculation helps customers make better decisions. Banking students and junior officers should practice these formulas regularly.

If you are a banking student or junior officer in the USA or any country, this guide will help you understand real-world banking operations.

**18. Cash Credit (CC) – Running Finance**

You’re right — sorry for the extra headings and breaks. From now on I will give you each article **as one ready-to-paste paragraph** (single block) so you can drop it straight into your page under your caption without re-joining anything.

Here is **Article 18 — Cash Credit (CC) / Running Finance** as a single continuous paragraph in your preferred style:

**Cash Credit (CC) – Running Finance:** Cash Credit (CC) or Running Finance is a short-term revolving facility granted by a bank that allows a borrower to withdraw funds up to an approved limit to meet working capital requirements; it remains available as long as the account is within the sanctioned limit and the customer repays and re-borrows as needed. Banks grant CC to reliable businesses to finance raw materials, salaries, and daily operations so production continues smoothly; it is given prudently because public deposits are used and repayment capacity must be clear. Key documents required include a written application, financial statements (last 1–3 years), bank statements, stock and debtor statements, charge documents (hypothecation or pledge), board resolution for companies, and a personal/corporate guarantee where necessary. The usual process is: customer applies and submits documents; bank carries out credit appraisal and visits the business; the bank values stock and receivables and decides margin requirements; credit committee approves limit and terms; documentation (hypothecation agreement, charge creation, promissory note) is executed; limit is disbursed and the CC account is opened with periodic statements and monitoring; the banker conducts regular inspections and calls for stock/debtor statements and reconciliations; and the facility is renewed annually or as agreed. From my 43 years of service I often managed CC limits for textile and trading clients at Nooriabad and Karachi; careful margining and monthly inspections prevented many potential defaults and kept accounts healthy. Advice to young bankers: always verify the stock and debtor aging, insist on proper margins and up-to-date statements, monitor utilization daily, and never hesitate to call for additional security if payment flows weaken — disciplined monitoring protects depositors’ money and the bank’s asset quality.

Here is **Article 19 — Mortgage (Property-Based Finance)** in **one continuous paragraph**, ready to paste directly:

**Mortgage – Property-Based Finance:** Mortgage finance is a term-based loan granted by a bank against immovable property such as residential, commercial, or industrial land/building, which is legally mortgaged in the bank’s favor as security until full repayment. Because the bank uses public money, mortgage finance is given prudently after confirming the borrower’s repayment capacity, clean title documents, and the property’s market value. The borrower submits a written application, CNIC, income proof, bank statements, property title documents, allotment/lease papers, approved maps, valuation reports, and a clear legal opinion. The process begins with document collection and verification, followed by a legal vetting of title and valuation by an approved evaluator; the credit officer prepares an appraisal report, the credit committee approves the loan amount based on property value and repayment ability, and upon approval the bank executes mortgage documents, registers the mortgage (where required), and disburses funds. The borrower repays through monthly installments, and the mortgage remains until the loan is fully cleared. From my 43 years of banking service, I handled numerous mortgage cases for small businesses and personal borrowers; I always ensured the title documents were genuine and valuation was realistic because any weakness could risk public funds. My advice to young bankers: never compromise on documentation, always obtain a clear legal opinion, maintain proper valuation margins, and monitor timely installments—strong due diligence protects the bank and the customer both.

If you want the next article, say **“Next — Hypothecation”** or “Next — Pledge” depending on your sequence.

Here is **Article 20 — Hypothecation of Stock** in **one continuous paragraph**, ready to paste directly:

**Hypothecation of Stock – Procedure & Security:** Hypothecation is a form of bank finance where goods, raw materials, finished stock, and receivables remain in the borrower’s possession but are legally charged in favor of the bank as security for a running finance, cash credit, or short-term loan. Since the bank is using public money, this facility is given only to reliable customers with proven business turnover and repayment capacity, and strict monitoring is required because the stock physically stays with the borrower. The customer submits a written request, audited accounts, bank statements, stock and debtor statements, purchase and sales records, insurance policy, and signs hypothecation/charge documents along with personal or corporate guarantees. The process includes business inspection, verification of stock levels, assessment of working capital needs, preparation of a credit appraisal, approval by the credit committee, registration of charge (for companies), execution of hypothecation documents, and opening of the finance limit. After disbursement, the bank regularly monitors stock statements, debtor aging, insurance coverage, sales patterns, and conducts surprise inspections to ensure the stock actually exists. In my 43 years of service, I supervised many hypothecation accounts, especially in industrial areas like Nooriabad, where strict monitoring and monthly inspections protected the bank from over-financing and prevented customers from misreporting stock. My advice to young bankers: never rely only on paper statements—verify stock physically, maintain proper margins, ensure continuous insurance, and keep close watch on receivables; strong control is essential because hypothecation is unsecured without physical possession.

If you want the next article, say **“Next — Pledge”**.

Here is **Article 21 — Pledge of Stock** in **one continuous paragraph**, ready to paste directly:

**Pledge of Stock – Control & Safeguards:** Pledge is a form of secured finance where goods, raw materials, or finished stock are physically delivered to the bank or its authorized warehouse as security for a loan or cash credit, giving the bank control over the collateral while the borrower retains ownership rights. Banks provide pledged stock finance prudently, only to trustworthy customers, because the facility relies on proper handling and insurance of the pledged goods to protect public deposits. The borrower submits a written request, audited accounts, stock list, valuation certificate, insurance documents, and executes a pledge agreement along with personal or corporate guarantees. The process includes verification of goods, valuation, preparation of stock schedule, inspection and receipt of goods into bank-controlled custody, credit committee approval, and disbursement of the sanctioned limit. Regular monitoring is conducted, including stock verification, reconciliation of warehouse records, and ensuring insurance coverage is maintained. During my 43 years in banking, I managed numerous pledge accounts, particularly for industrial clients in Karachi and Nooriabad, ensuring that stock was properly secured and regularly inspected to avoid losses. Advice to young bankers: always insist on physical delivery and verification of pledged stock, maintain proper margins, enforce insurance policies, and monitor movements closely—control and safeguards are critical to protect both the bank and the borrower.

If you want, I can now prepare **Article 22 — Secured Overdraft (Clean vs Secured OD)** in the same single-paragraph format.

Here is **Article 22 — Secured Overdraft (Clean vs Secured OD)** in **one continuous paragraph**, ready to paste directly:

**Secured Overdraft (SOD) – Clean vs Secured OD:** A Secured Overdraft (SOD) is a short-term revolving facility granted by banks where customers can withdraw funds up to an approved limit for working capital or business needs. In a **Clean OD**, the bank relies solely on the customer’s creditworthiness and repayment capacity without taking tangible collateral, while in a **Secured OD**, the bank takes security such as stock, receivables, or property to protect public funds. Banks provide SOD prudently, ensuring that the borrower is reliable, capable of timely repayment, and that adequate monitoring is possible. Required documents include a written application, audited accounts, bank statements, stock/debtor statements, personal or corporate guarantees, and any collateral documents in case of secured OD. The process involves credit appraisal, verification of financials, assessment of repayment ability, approval by the credit committee, execution of agreements, and disbursement. For secured OD, collateral is examined, valued, and insured before release of funds. From my 43 years of banking experience, I regularly handled both clean and secured ODs for industrial clients, carefully monitoring utilization, limits, and repayment to avoid defaults. Advice to young bankers: always assess the customer’s creditworthiness thoroughly, insist on proper security when needed, maintain regular account monitoring, and enforce repayment discipline; this protects the bank while supporting legitimate business needs.

ARTICLE 23

WHAT IS MONEY

This is a profound principle that applies both to **life and banking**:

### **1. Life needs money**

* Money is essential for **survival, family, and responsibilities**

* It allows education, health, comfort, and security

* Without money, life becomes **difficult, unstable, and stressful**

### **2. Money needs due care**

* Just like life needs careful management, **money also requires prudence**

* Mismanagement can **destroy wealth, reputation, and stability**

* Careless lending, spending, or handling in banking can cause **losses or legal problems**

## **3. Parallel with Banking**

* Life = your responsibilities and family

* Money = the bank’s assets or customers’ funds

* **Both require caution, planning, and wisdom**

* **Prudence** ensures both life and money grow safely

### **4. Key Takeaway**

> “Life needs money, and money needs due care like life.”

* Every banker should understand this principle

* Every financial decision must balance **risk, care, and prudence**

* This is the **foundation of ethical and professional banking**

**A Banker’s Memory Blessed by Allah**

By the grace of Almighty Allah, I have been blessed with a remarkable memory that still recalls the finest details of my 43-year banking career — from the simplest definitions to the most complex financial instruments.

Even today, I can explain the technical meanings of terms like **Currency Basket, Stale Bill of Lading, Second Charge, Pari Passu, Hypothecation, Pledge, and Open Pledge**, as if I had just studied them yesterday. These concepts were not just words in textbooks; they were living realities in my banking journey.

In the 1980s and 1990s, when I was serving in various banks, I had the honor of working with industries like the **ship-breaking sector at Gaddani**. Their accounts were often financed under *Open Pledge* arrangements, and one could see large boards displayed at the yards marked **“UBL Pledge”** — a clear sign of trust and credibility.

During my lectures at the **State Bank of Pakistan Staff Training College**, I delivered in-depth sessions on subjects such as **Letters of Credit, Revocable and Irrevocable LCs, Standby and Revolving Credits, Red Clause and Green Clause LCs**, and **Export Finance Schemes (FAP-EI)**. I vividly remember the moment when, as I wrote on the whiteboard — “What is a Letter of Credit?” — the participants applauded and tapped their desks in appreciation. Those moments were not of pride but of *thankfulness* to Allah for granting me the ability to share knowledge with others.

Over the years, I have realized that true knowledge never fades. Even after decades, every formula, procedure, and banking term still echoes in my mind — proof that when one serves sincerely, Allah preserves that learning forever.

This website and my YouTube lectures are dedicated to all those who wish to learn **real-world banking from experience** — not from theory alone. May Allah bless this humble effort to pass knowledge to the next generation.

# **TRAVEL OF LETTER OF CREDIT**

**TRAVEL OF LETTER OF CREDIT**

**Introduction**

The Letter of Credit (L/C) is one of the most important instruments in international trade. It ensures secure payments between exporters and importers, bridging trust between two parties who may be thousands of miles apart.

**Journey of the Letter of Credit**

1. **Importer’s Request** – The importer approaches their bank to issue an L/C in favor of the exporter.

2. **Issuing Bank** – The importer’s bank issues the L/C and forwards it to the exporter’s bank.

3. **Advising Bank** – The exporter’s bank verifies and advises the L/C to the exporter.

4. **Exporter’s Shipment** – After shipment of goods, the exporter submits documents to their bank.

5. **Document Flow** – The documents travel from the exporter’s bank to the issuing bank for verification.

6. **Payment Settlement** – Once verified, payment is released to the exporter, and documents are handed to the importer for clearing goods.

**Key Benefits of L/C**

* Provides security to both exporter and importer.

* Ensures timely payment upon fulfillment of terms.

* Reduces risk of fraud and default.

* Supports smooth international trade transactions.

**Conclusion**

The Letter of Credit acts as a backbone of global trade, making cross-border transactions smooth and reliable. Every step in its travel—from issuance to payment—is designed to safeguard the interests of both buyer and seller.

**The Banking Basic Lending Tips**

The prudent banker must always consider three important points before lending. These basics are mentioned in many banking books and are known as the **3 C’s of lending**:

1. **Character** – Assess the borrower’s honesty, integrity, and reputation. A customer with good character is more likely to repay on time and maintain a trustworthy relationship with the bank.

2. **Capacity** – Evaluate the borrower’s ability to repay the loan. This includes checking their income, business operations, and financial discipline to ensure they can meet repayment obligations.

3. **Capital** – Consider the borrower’s own investment or financial stake in the business or project. A borrower who invests their own capital is more committed to the success of the venture.

**Capital** – The borrower’s own share or contribution in the business is the backbone for repayment. A borrower who invests their own money is more committed to the success of the venture and ensures timely repayment to Bank

Together, these three points are known as **3 C’s (Character, Capacity, Capital)**, and they form the foundation of sound banking lending Guidance

# **SECURITY ACCEPTABLE TO BANK**

*(As per SBP Prudential Regulation of Credit)*

Banks must ensure that loans and advances are **secured adequately**. Security protects the bank from default and ensures smooth recovery. The following types of security are recognized and widely used:

## **1. Property / Equitable / Mortgage**

* Real estate or immovable property is pledged to the bank.

* Considered **strong security**.

* Bank holds **legal rights** over property; can recover loan in case of default.

* Examples: Residential/commercial property, land, building.

---

## **2. Hypothecation**

* Goods remain with the borrower in their own premises (godown).

* Bank does **not have physical control**.

* Considered **weaker security** due to risk of misuse or loss.

* Common for working capital loans where goods need to stay with business.

## **3. Pledge of Goods**

* Goods are stored in the **bank’s godown under lock and guard**.

* Customer must pay equivalent value to withdraw goods.

* Bank issues **Delivery Order**; goods released by bank officers as per recorded quantity.

* Considered **strong security** because bank has **physical control**.

---

## **4. Loan / Finance Against Insurance Policy**

* Life or general insurance policies can be pledged as collateral.

* Bank may recover outstanding loan from policy proceeds in case of default.

* Considered **medium strength security**, depending on policy value and terms.

## **5. Loan / Finance Against Salary Undertaking**

* Bank grants loan based on **salary guarantee from reputable companies**.

* Company undertakes to deduct installments if borrower defaults.

* Considered **reliable security** when company is financially sound.

---

## **Conclusion: Security Strength Hierarchy**

| Security Type | Strength |

| ------------------- | -------- |

| Property / Mortgage | Strong |

| Pledge of Goods | Strong |

| Insurance Policy | Medium |

| Salary Undertaking | Medium |

| Hypothecation | Weak |

✅ **Key Point:** Every banker must evaluate **strength, control, and recoverability** of security before sanctioning credit.

يلعب تمويل التجارة الدولية دورًا محوريًا في تسهيل التجارة العالمية من خلال توفير الأدوات والخدمات المالية اللازمة لدعم المعاملات بين الشركات عبر الحدود. ويشمل نطاقًا واسعًا من الأنشطة، بما في ذلك آليات الدفع، وخيارات التمويل، وإدارة المخاطر، والامتثال للأنظمة.

من الجوانب الرئيسية لتمويل التجارة الدولية ضمان وصول الشركات إلى وسائل دفع متنوعة، مثل خطابات الاعتماد، والتحصيلات المستندية، ومعاملات الحسابات المفتوحة. تساعد هذه الوسائل على التخفيف من مخاطر عدم السداد، وتوفر ضمانات لكل من المشترين والبائعين.

بالإضافة إلى ذلك، يقدم تمويل التجارة حلولًا تمويلية مصممة خصيصًا لتلبية الاحتياجات المحددة للمستوردين والمصدرين، مثل قروض التجارة، وتمويل الفواتير، وتمويل سلسلة التوريد. تُمكّن هذه المنتجات المالية الشركات من إدارة تدفقاتها النقدية بفعالية، واغتنام فرص النمو في الأسواق الخارجية.

تُعد إدارة المخاطر عنصرًا أساسيًا آخر في تمويل التجارة الدولية، حيث تواجه الشركات مخاطر متنوعة، بما في ذلك تقلبات أسعار العملات، وعدم الاستقرار السياسي، والتخلف عن السداد. تقدم المؤسسات المالية خدمات مثل التحوط من تقلبات أسعار الصرف الأجنبي، وتأمين الائتمان، وتقييم المخاطر، للمساعدة في التخفيف من هذه المخاطر، وضمان سير المعاملات التجارية بسلاسة.

علاوةً على ذلك، يُعدّ الامتثال للوائح والمعايير التجارية الدولية أمرًا بالغ الأهمية لتجنب المشكلات القانونية والحفاظ على نزاهة المعاملات التجارية. ويُكلَّف متخصصو تمويل التجارة بالبقاء على اطلاع دائم بالتغييرات التنظيمية وتطبيق إجراءات امتثال فعّالة لضمان الشفافية والالتزام بقوانين التجارة الدولية.

وختامًا، يُشكِّل تمويل التجارة الدولية ركيزةً أساسيةً للتجارة العالمية من خلال توفير البنية التحتية والخدمات المالية اللازمة لتسهيل المعاملات العابرة للحدود. ويُعدّ دوره في دعم الشركات وإدارة المخاطر وضمان الامتثال أمرًا لا غنى عنه في ظلّ الاقتصاد العالمي المترابط اليوم.

আন্তর্জাতিক বাণিজ্য অর্থায়নের একটি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ দিক হল ব্যবসার জন্য বিভিন্ন পেমেন্ট পদ্ধতি যেমন ক্রেডিট লেটার, ডকুমেন্টারি সংগ্রহ এবং খোলা অ্যাকাউন্ট লেনদেনের অ্যাক্সেস নিশ্চিত করা। এই পদ্ধতিগুলি অ-প্রদানের ঝুঁকি হ্রাস করতে সহায়তা করে এবং ক্রেতা এবং বিক্রেতা উভয়কেই আশ্বাস প্রদান করে।

অতিরিক্তভাবে, ট্রেড ফাইন্যান্স আমদানিকারক এবং রপ্তানিকারকদের নির্দিষ্ট চাহিদা অনুসারে তৈরি অর্থায়ন সমাধান প্রদান করে, যেমন ট্রেড ঋণ, ইনভয়েস ফাইন্যান্সিং এবং সাপ্লাই চেইন ফাইন্যান্সিং। এই আর্থিক পণ্যগুলি ব্যবসাগুলিকে কার্যকরভাবে নগদ প্রবাহ পরিচালনা করতে এবং বিদেশী বাজারে বৃদ্ধির সুযোগগুলি কাজে লাগাতে সক্ষম করে।

WHAT IS INTERNATIOL TRADE AND FINANCE

अंतर्राष्ट्रीय व्यापार वित्त, सीमाओं के पार व्यवसायों के बीच लेन-देन को समर्थन देने के लिए आवश्यक वित्तीय साधन और सेवाएँ प्रदान करके वैश्विक वाणिज्य को सुगम बनाने में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाता है। इसमें भुगतान तंत्र, वित्तपोषण विकल्प, जोखिम प्रबंधन और नियामक अनुपालन सहित कई गतिविधियाँ शामिल हैं।

अंतर्राष्ट्रीय व्यापार वित्त का एक प्रमुख पहलू यह सुनिश्चित करना है कि व्यवसायों को विभिन्न भुगतान विधियों, जैसे साख पत्र, दस्तावेज़ी संग्रह और खुले खाता लेनदेन, तक पहुँच प्राप्त हो। ये विधियाँ भुगतान न होने के जोखिम को कम करने और खरीदारों और विक्रेताओं दोनों को आश्वासन प्रदान करने में मदद करती हैं।

इसके अतिरिक्त, व्यापार वित्त आयातकों और निर्यातकों की विशिष्ट आवश्यकताओं के अनुरूप वित्तपोषण समाधान प्रदान करता है, जैसे व्यापार ऋण, चालान वित्तपोषण और आपूर्ति श्रृंखला वित्तपोषण। ये वित्तीय उत्पाद व्यवसायों को नकदी प्रवाह का प्रभावी ढंग से प्रबंधन करने और विदेशी बाजारों में विकास के अवसरों का लाभ उठाने में सक्षम बनाते हैं।

जोखिम प्रबंधन, अंतर्राष्ट्रीय व्यापार वित्त का एक अन्य महत्वपूर्ण घटक है, क्योंकि व्यवसायों को मुद्रा में उतार-चढ़ाव, राजनीतिक अस्थिरता और भुगतान चूक सहित विभिन्न जोखिमों का सामना करना पड़ता है। वित्तीय संस्थान इन जोखिमों को कम करने और व्यापार लेनदेन के सुचारू प्रवाह को सुनिश्चित करने में मदद के लिए विदेशी मुद्रा हेजिंग, ऋण बीमा और जोखिम मूल्यांकन जैसी सेवाएँ प्रदान करते हैं।

इसके अलावा, कानूनी समस्याओं से बचने और व्यापार लेनदेन की अखंडता बनाए रखने के लिए अंतर्राष्ट्रीय व्यापार नियमों और मानकों का अनुपालन आवश्यक है। व्यापार वित्त पेशेवरों का कार्य नियामक परिवर्तनों से अवगत रहना और पारदर्शिता सुनिश्चित करने तथा अंतर्राष्ट्रीय व्यापार कानूनों का पालन सुनिश्चित करने के लिए सुदृढ़ अनुपालन उपायों को लागू करना है।

अंततः, अंतर्राष्ट्रीय व्यापार वित्त, सीमा पार लेनदेन को सुगम बनाने के लिए आवश्यक वित्तीय अवसंरचना और सेवाएँ प्रदान करके वैश्विक व्यापार की रीढ़ की हड्डी का काम करता है। आज की परस्पर जुड़ी वैश्विक अर्थव्यवस्था में व्यवसायों को समर्थन देने, जोखिमों का प्रबंधन करने और अनुपालन सुनिश्चित करने में इसकी भूमिका अपरिहार्य है।

بین الاقوامی تجارتی مالیات سرحدوں کے پار کاروباروں

بین الاقوامی تجارتی مالیات سرحدوں کے پار کاروباروں کے درمیان لین دین میں مدد کے لیے ضروری مالیاتی آلات اور خدمات فراہم کرکے عالمی تجارت کو آسان بنانے میں اہم کردار ادا کرتا ہے۔ اس میں سرگرمیوں کی ایک وسیع رینج شامل ہے، بشمول ادائیگی کے طریقہ کار، فنانسنگ کے اختیارات، رسک مینجمنٹ، اور ریگولیٹری تعمیل۔

بین الاقوامی تجارتی مالیات کے اہم پہلوؤں میں سے ایک اس بات کو یقینی بنانا ہے کہ کاروبار کو ادائیگی کے مختلف طریقوں تک رسائی حاصل ہو جیسے کریڈٹ کے خطوط، دستاویزی جمع کرنے، اور کھلے اکاؤنٹ کے لین دین۔ یہ طریقے عدم ادائیگی کے خطرے کو کم کرنے میں مدد کرتے ہیں اور خریداروں اور بیچنے والوں دونوں کو یقین دہانی فراہم کرتے ہیں۔

مزید برآں، تجارتی فنانس درآمد کنندگان اور برآمد کنندگان کی مخصوص ضروریات کے مطابق مالیاتی حل پیش کرتا ہے، جیسے تجارتی قرضے، انوائس فنانسنگ، اور سپلائی چین فنانسنگ۔ یہ مالیاتی مصنوعات کاروباروں کو نقد بہاؤ کو مؤثر طریقے سے منظم کرنے اور غیر ملکی منڈیوں میں ترقی کے مواقع سے فائدہ اٹھانے کے قابل بناتی ہیں۔

رسک مینجمنٹ بین الاقوامی تجارتی مالیات کا ایک اور اہم جز ہے، کیونکہ کاروبار کو کرنسی کے اتار چڑھاو، سیاسی عدم استحکام، اور ادائیگی کی ڈیفالٹ سمیت مختلف خطرات کا سامنا کرنا پڑتا ہے۔ مالیاتی ادارے ان خطرات کو کم کرنے اور تجارتی لین دین کے ہموار بہاؤ کو یقینی بنانے میں مدد کے لیے فارن ایکسچینج ہیجنگ، کریڈٹ انشورنس، اور رسک اسیسمنٹ جیسی خدمات فراہم کرتے ہیں۔

مزید برآں، قانونی مسائل سے بچنے اور تجارتی لین دین کی سالمیت کو برقرار رکھنے کے لیے بین الاقوامی تجارتی ضوابط اور معیارات کی تعمیل ضروری ہے۔ تجارتی مالیاتی پیشہ ور افراد کو یہ ذمہ داری سونپی گئی ہے کہ وہ ریگولیٹری تبدیلیوں پر اپ ڈیٹ رہیں اور شفافیت اور بین الاقوامی تجارتی قوانین کی پابندی کو یقینی بنانے کے لیے مضبوط تعمیل کے اقدامات کو نافذ کریں۔

آخر میں، بین الاقوامی تجارتی فنانس سرحد پار لین دین کو آسان بنانے کے لیے ضروری مالیاتی ڈھانچہ اور خدمات فراہم کرکے عالمی تجارت میں ریڑھ کی ہڈی کا کام کرتا ہے۔ آج کی باہم مربوط عالمی معیشت میں کاروبار کی حمایت، خطرات سے نمٹنے اور تعمیل کو یقینی بنانے میں اس کا کردار ناگزیر ہے۔

In the Month of May 2004

THE BANK AL-ALHBIB SABZI MANDI BRANCH WAS SET ON FIRE BY THE ANTI LOADING PROTESTER AT 1.00 AM

I will continue from where we left off and include all the details about working on the roof, the computer system, and staff arrangements:

---

Good Friday, May 2004, I was posted as Officer Grade I, Incharge Trade Finance. I was performing very well, as acknowledged by GM Karachi, Mansoor Ali Khan. On that night, during load shedding at 12 AM, our branch’s **automatic generator switched on**, keeping all lights operational.

Despite the branch being illuminated, a group of protestors and agitators **attacked our Sabzimandi Branch of Bank Al Habib**. They **did not notice the lights were on**, likely assuming the branch was dark and vulnerable. In their frenzy, they **set parts of the branch on fire**, endangering staff and property.

Thanks to the **generator functioning automatically**, the essential lighting remained on, which **helped staff manage the crisis** and maintain some control during the attack.

After the situation calmed down, the **branch management took immediate action**. We **scrapped the damaged ground floor** and **started refurbishing the branch**. During this period, under instructions from **GM HO**, I, along with **two cashiers**, was tasked to **resume banking operations temporarily on the roof of the branch under a tent**.

We set up **two pedestal fans** to make the working environment manageable, but it was **extremely hot and sticky** during those days. Meanwhile, our **computer system was shifted to another branch at Water Pump, FB Area**, where **8 to 10 other staff members were seated**. I remained at **Sabzimandi Branch**, overseeing operations and ensuring everything ran smoothly from my end.

Despite the physical discomfort and the challenging conditions, I **continued serving customers personally**, **assuring them that their money was safe** and **paying them in cash as required**. My main responsibility during this period was **keeping the branch functional, managing staff, and maintaining customer trust**, as I reported to you last night

مئی 2004 کے مہینے میں،

مشتعل/مظاہرین نے صبح 1.00 بجے بینک الحبیب لمیٹڈ، سبزی منڈی برانچ کو آگ لگا دی۔

مجھے آفیسر گریڈ I کے انچارج ٹریڈ فنانس کے طور پر تعینات کیا گیا تھا۔ میں بہت اچھی کارکردگی کا مظاہرہ کر رہا تھا، جیسا کہ جی ایم کراچی منصور علی خان نے اعتراف کیا۔ اس رات، 12 بجے لوڈ شیڈنگ کے دوران، ہماری برانچ کا **آٹومیٹک جنریٹر آن** ہوگیا، جس سے تمام لائٹس چلتی رہیں۔

برانچ کے روشن ہونے کے باوجود، مظاہرین اور مشتعل افراد کے ایک گروپ نے **بینک الحبیب کی ہماری سبزی منڈی برانچ پر حملہ کیا۔ انہوں نے **لائٹس آن ہونے پر توجہ نہیں دی**، غالباً یہ فرض کر لیا کہ شاخ تاریک اور کمزور تھی۔ اپنے جنون میں، انہوں نے **برانچ کے کچھ حصوں کو آگ لگا دی**، عملے اور املاک کو خطرے میں ڈالا۔

**جنریٹر کے خود کار طریقے سے کام کرنے کی بدولت**، ضروری لائٹنگ جاری رہی، جس نے **عملے کو بحران پر قابو پانے میں مدد کی** اور حملے کے دوران کچھ کنٹرول برقرار رکھا۔ لوڈشیڈنگ کے خلاف مظاہرین نے سبزی منڈی شاخ کو آگ لگا دی، مکمل طور پر تباہ۔ صبح سویرے ہمارے آپریشن مینیجر کامران مسعود نے مجھے اپنے موبائل فون پر کال کی اور واقعہ سے آگاہ کیا۔ میں صبح 6 بجے اس کے گھر پہنچا اور اپنی گاڑی میں اپنے ساتھ لے کر ایک شاخ پر پہنچا تو دیکھا کہ سب کچھ جل کر راکھ ہو گیا ہے۔

صورتحال کے پرسکون ہونے کے بعد، **برانچ انتظامیہ نے فوری ایکشن لیا**۔ ہم نے لوگوں کو **خراب گراؤنڈ فلور کو ختم کرنے کے لیے رکھا** اور **برانچ کی تزئین و آرائش شروع کی**۔ اس مدت کے دوران، **GM HO** کی ہدایات کے تحت، مجھے، **دو کیشیئرز** کے ساتھ، **ایک خیمے کے نیچے برانچ کی چھت پر عارضی طور پر بینکنگ کام دوبارہ شروع کرنے کا کام سونپا گیا۔

ہم نے کام کے ماحول کو قابل انتظام بنانے کے لیے **دو پیڈسٹل پنکھے** لگائے، لیکن ان دنوں یہ **انتہائی گرم اور چپچپا** تھا۔ دریں اثنا، ہمارے **کمپیوٹر سسٹم کو واٹر پمپ، ایف بی ایریا** میں ایک اور برانچ میں منتقل کر دیا گیا، جہاں **8 سے 10 دیگر عملے کے اراکین کو بٹھایا گیا**۔ میں **سبزی منڈی برانچ** میں رہا، آپریشنز کی نگرانی کرتا رہا اور اس بات کو یقینی بناتا رہا کہ سب کچھ میری طرف سے آسانی سے چل رہا ہے۔

جسمانی تکلیف اور مشکل حالات کے باوجود، میں نے **ذاتی طور پر صارفین کی خدمت جاری رکھی**، **انہیں یقین دلایا کہ ان کی رقم محفوظ ہے** اور **انہیں ضرورت کے مطابق نقد رقم ادا کرنا**۔ اس عرصے کے دوران میری اہم ذمہ داری **برانچ کو فعال رکھنا، عملے کا انتظام کرنا، اور کسٹمر کے اعتماد کو برقرار رکھنا** تھا، جیسا کہ میں نے کل رات آپ کو اطلاع دی تھی۔

مجھے مذکورہ برانچ کی چھت پر ٹینٹ اور 2 پیڈ سٹال پنکھے کے نیچے بینکنگ شروع کرنے کے لیے 2 کیشیئر اور ایک چپراسی کے ساتھ تعینات کیا گیا تھا، مجھے کسٹمرز کا چیک موصول ہوا، اور چیک # رقم، پوسٹ کرنے کے لیے واٹر پمپ برانچ کے کمپیوٹر سسٹم کو بھیجی گئی، پوسٹ کرنے کے بعد، سبزی منڈی میں چیک پر نمبر پوسٹ پھر منسوخ کر دی گئی یا ایف کو کراس کر دیا گیا۔ کمپیوٹر مین اور سبزی منڈی روف برانچ میں ادائیگی کی گئی، اسی وقت صارفین کو ان کے کیش کے بارے میں تسلی دی گئی جس نے برانچ کے ساتھ انتہائی شائستگی سے تمام صارفین کو بینک کے ساتھ پیش آنے والے واقعے کے بارے میں قائل کیا۔ یہ بینک الحبیب کے ساتھ میری لگن اور خلوص کی بلندی تھی۔

اگر آپ چاہیں تو میں اس کہانی کو **آپ کو ملنے والی پیشہ ورانہ شناخت اور اس بحران کے دوران آپ کی قیادت آپ کی بینکنگ میراث کا حصہ کیسے بنی اس پر زور دے کر ختم کر سکتا ہوں۔ کیا آپ چاہتے ہیں کہ میں آگے ایسا کروں؟

# Banking – A Basic Introduction

Women, Business and the Law 2026—Benchmarking Laws for Jobs and Inclusive Growth

Location: Online

ADD TO CALENDAR

Advancing women’s economic participation is a key driver of growth and job creation. Estimates suggest that removing barriers to women’s economic participation could raise global output by 15–20 percent. Yet progress remains uneven, with many countries facing persistent gaps in legislation, implementing policies and institutions, and legal enforcement.

Join us online or in person in the Preston Auditorium at the World Bank Group Headquarters in Washington, DC, for the global launch of Women, Business and the Law 2026, a flagship World Bank Group report that examines the legal and policy factors shaping women’s access to economic opportunities. Drawing on data from 190 economies, the report benchmarks progress across 10 dimensions of women’s economic life, including pay, assets, entrepreneurship, childcare, and workplace protections.

This event will explore where gaps remain, which reforms have proven effective, and how legal and policy choices can support more inclusive and competitive economies. Policymakers, researchers, business leaders, and development practitioners will discuss the evidence behind women’s economic rights and their implications for growth and jobs.

Lecture Script: EXPORT FINANCE (For Exporters & Bankers)

Assalam-o-Alaikum viewers,

Welcome to my channel Banking Academy.
I am your host, Mukhtar Ahmed Khan.

I hope all of you are fine and doing well.

Today, I am going to deliver a very important lecture on “Export Finance” — specially designed for exporters, bankers, and students of banking.

Importance of Export & Foreign Exchange

Before going into technical discussion, please understand one fundamental reality:

Exports are the backbone of a country’s economy.

When a country exports goods, it earns foreign exchange, which is recorded as Foreign Currency reserves with the State Bank.

More exports = More foreign exchange
More foreign exchange = Strong economy
Strong economy = Prosperity and stability

So remember:

“Export growth is directly linked with national prosperity.”

Role of Banks & Bankers in Export Growth

Now the question is:

How can a banker contribute to export growth?

A banker must have strong knowledge of:

Export procedures
Buyer’s country
Nature of export goods
Demand of the product in international market

If a banker understands these points, he can:

Guide the exporter properly
Provide timely finance
Ensure smooth export operations

Pakistan has many banks with Foreign Exchange Departments, but the success depends on knowledge and efficiency of the banker.

Main Types of Export Finance

Under Foreign Exchange Regulations, banks provide export finance under the following major heads:

1. LAFB (Loan Against Foreign Bills)

Finance provided against export bills sent for collection.

2. LAPC (Loan Against Packing Credit)

Finance given before shipment to prepare/export goods.

3. FBP (Foreign Bill Purchase)

Bank purchases export bills and gives immediate payment to exporter.

Role of Letter of Credit (LC)

Normally, the exporter receives a Letter of Credit (LC) in his favor from a foreign buyer.

This LC acts as:

Security
Payment assurance
Basis for financing by bank

Why Exporter Needs Finance?

Exporter requires funds for:

Purchase of raw material
Manufacturing / processing goods
Payment of wages to labor
Utility bills (electricity, gas, etc.)
Payment of duties and taxes
Packing and shipment expenses

Bank Financing Facility

Banks may provide 50% to 70% financing (depending on risk and relationship).

This finance is:

Given against LC under lien
Supported by proper documentation
Adjusted when export proceeds are received

This is a very important practical point for both banker and exporter.

Hi my dear Viewrs

ASSALAM O ALYKUM

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself; my name is MuI would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself; my name is Mukhtar Ahmed Khan, son of the late Mohammed Ayub Khan, who migrated from India in 1947. He was employed by the Railways in the Traffic Department and was assigned as a Parcel Clerk in Dinajpur in the same year. I was born in East Pakistan. I completed my Matriculation and Intermediate education through the Dacca Board, prior to the fall of Dacca. During the East Pakistan elections of 1970, following the results, political unrest began, leading us towards a shift in power and ultimately resulting in war. Subsequently, I sought refuge in imprisonment with the Pakistani Army and was sent to an Indian POW camp, where I remained for approximately two years. There, I encountered many senior bankers from ABL President, Khadim Hussain Siddiqui, ABL and HBL, such as Qazi Ehsanullah, SEVP, and Mallik Amin Mohammad Khan. At the age of 18, I was greatly inspired and motivated to pursue a career in banking, as they treated me with kindness and affection. I was determined to become a banker upon my return to Pakistan. By the grace of God, I was granted freedom and repatriated at the end of 1973. I made the decision to meet the owner of United Bank Limited, the honorable Mian Rafique Saigol (late), who was then the Chairman of Pakistan International Airlines, ho AT KARACHI AIRPORT He graciously allowed me to sit with him, offered me tea, and inquired about my experiences as a POW. During my visit, he presented me with two options for employment: to join PIA or to pursue a career in banking. I expressed my preference for banking, and when I mentioned that I had an application, he encouraged me to submit it. He recommended me, shook my hand, and said 'Allah Hafiz' at 5:30 PM on the 23rd of September, 1973.
