The JIBM, in ‘Archives Section’ publishes any material published in any journals that might not have gotten broader readership due to some limitations or constraints, or any documents / correspondence that needed awareness of or action by any of the stakeholders and could help in enhancing attentiveness about any socio-economic and business issues. JIBM, in its June, 2014 Issue published a detailed Editorial on the ways and means to make the takāful system really worthwhile and also discussed some issues in banca takāful being offered by some IBIs in Pakistan. But, the way the system of banca takāful developed quickly, may not only promote ‘white collar crime’ of kick-backs and commissions in Islamic banks, but most probably also create problems for the policy holders that, in the long run, might affect the credibility of Islamic banks in the country too. Accordingly, a letter was written by the Chief Editor, JIBM to the Governor State Bank of Pakistan with ‘CC’ to the Chairman SECP and the members of the Shariah Board of the State Bank of Pakistan. As the formal reply by SBP through its Banking Policy and Regulation Department (BPRD) needed further clarifications, we sent another letter to the Governor suggesting them to resolve the socio-economic issue by involving Islamic banking officials of the State Bank and the joint committee of SECP and the SBP. We received a formal reply of the second letter as well, which indicated that if deemed necessary, the subject matter will be taken up by the State Bank with the SECP at an appropriate level. Keeping in view importance of the matter, JIBM considers it imperative to publish the correspondence for benefit of all concerned and also to initiate policy related discussion on the issue. JIBM will be pleased to publish any comments / suggestions by the takāful companies; Islamic banks offering banca products, any of the regulators, i.e. SECP and State Bank of Pakistan, academia or even any affected persons. Accordingly, the correspondence which is sufficiently selfexplanatory is being published in the following sequence:  Letter from Prof. Dr. Anis Ahmed to the Governor, State Bank of Pakistan dated March 14, 2016  Reply of the State Bank (Banking Policy and Regulations DepartmentBPRD) dated March 30, 2016  Reply from the SECP dated April 25, 2016  Second letter from Prof. Dr. Anis Ahmed to the Governor SBP dated April 18, 2016  Reply of the State Bank of Pakistan (BPRD) dated April 28, 2016.
