working capital finance, no agreement for exchange of goods & services is made. The execution
of agreements for the exchange of goods & services is a must, while disbursing funds under
Murabaha, Salam & Istisna contracts. Under conventional mortgage, in order to purchase a
property, the customer borrows money and repays it with an additional amount over a period of
time. The additional amount is the amount of interest which is against the Shariah rulings of Islam.
Under Islamic mortgage finance facility, Islamic bank shares with the customer in purchasing his
desired property. Accordingly, the customer and the bank become the joint owners of the property
in proportion to their share in purchasing the property. In order to own and use the entire property,
the customer purchases the share of bank property over a period of time and also pays the rent for
using the bank share of the property. Over a period of time, the customer manages to purchase the
entire share of bank in the property. Ultimately, the customer becomes the sole owner. Further, in
case of Islamic mortgage finance, the rent will be charged after the lessee has taken delivery of the
property and it is in workable/usable condition. Rent cannot be charged from the day the price was
paid to acquire the property/asset. If the supplier has delayed the delivery after receiving the full
price, the lessee should not be liable for the rent of the period of delay. In case of conventional
mortgage finance, normally the lease rentals start from the date the bank make payment for
purchasing the property asset.

accounts are offered under this contract where the risk of the funds lies with the bank and no added
benefits are provided to the client solely based on this facility. However, clients may be allowed
to avail those facilities which are offered across the board. 2. Mudarabah – a type of partnership
where client funds are invested in various businesses and returns are shared between the bank and
client as per the agreed profit-sharing ratio whereas, the loss is shared as per the investment ratio.

Balance sheet is a financial statement that contains all vital information regarding the business
operation of any company. It is a vital document to analyze the performance of any company. It is
more important for a banking company because it highlights the assets and liabilities of a bank .By
analyzing the balance sheet of bank we can measure its strength and weakness Mishkin (1997:226)
argues that “To understand how a bank operates, first we need to examine its balance sheet, a list
of the bank’s assets and liabilities. As the name implies, this list has following characteristics:
Total Assets+ total liabilities = Capital. Furthermore, a bank’s balance sheet lists sources of bank
funds (liabilities) and uses to which they are put(assets). Banks obtain funds by borrowing and by
issuing other liabilities such as deposits. They then use these funds to acquire assets such as
securities and loans. Conventional banks earn income through interest while Islamic banks earn
profit through equity-based financing and investment. Let us look at the assets of Islamic banks
