Products Of fered Financial Analysis SWOT Analysis Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Chapter 1 The Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited (ZTBL) (formerly known as Agricultural Developm ent Bank of Pakistan) is the largest public sector financial development institu tion with a wide network of 27 Zonal Offices, 9 Audit Zones and 352 branches in Pakistan. The bank serves around half a million clients annually and has over on e million accumulated account holders. History Pakistan is an agricultural country and more than 60% of its population is worki ng related to agriculture. A development in the agricultural sector will no doub t result in the development of the whole country. To keep With a view to meet th is basic need the Agricultural Development Finance Corporation was set-up in 195 1, and was entrusted with the task of providing financial facilities for the dev elopment and modernization of agriculture, including: Forestry, Fishery, Animal Husbandry, Poultry, Dairy Farming. Later on the Agricultural Development Bank of Pakistan was also established in September 1957, under the Agricultural Develop ment Bank Act. The Bank is to provide credit in cash or in kind, warehousing and storage facilities to agriculturists, cooperative societies and other bodies, o f which the majority of members are agriculturists. As the functions of the Agri cultural Development Finance Corporation and Agricultural Development Bank were similar and since both were working with capital provided by the Government, the y were merged into one organization known as Agricultural Development Bank of Pa kistan on February 18. 1961. The Agricultural Development 9 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Bank of Pakistan was a banking company for the purpose of the Banking Companies Ordinance and the State Bank of Pakistan Act. On 14 December 2002 the Federal Go vernment has converted the Agricultural Development Bank of Pakistan (ADBP) into Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd (ZTBL) and the new venture has started its operation w ith immediate effect. The new corporate structure redefines the banks statue as a public limited company with an independent Board of Directors promulgated unde r the presidential ordinance which, aims at ensuring good governance, autonomy, delivering high quality, viable and timely financial services to a greater numbe r of clientele in the agricultural and rural segment of the country with adequat e returns to the stakeholder. After this incorporation all the assets and liabil ities of ADBP became the assets and liabilities of ZTBL. This restructure was ca rried out with the aim to improve the working and role of bank in the agricultur al development. The bank is completely owned by the government and it has head o ffice in Islamabad. Ownership Type of Institution Established President & CEO Eq uity Headquarters Total Deposits Total Disbursement Homepage Government Speciali zed Bank 1961 Muhammad Zaka Ashraf 18.7 Billion (2009) Islamabad, Pakistan PKR 8 .8 billion (as Dec.31st, 2009) PKR 77.7 billion (as Dec.31st, 2009) www.ztbl.com .pk ZTBL is providing affordable, rural and agriculture financial services to the ru ral Pakistan, comprising 68 % of the total population. The Bank through a countr y-wide network of 352 branches is serving around half a million clients annually and over one million accumulated account holders with the average loan size of around Rs.89,000. Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Credit Rating In August 2010, ZTBL continued to achieve AAA credit rating by JCR-VIS. Year 201 0 2009 Entity AAA/ A-1+ AAA/ A-1+ Stand Alone B+/ B B+/ B Outlook Stable Stable The credit rating of the bank is due to the reason that bank enjoys sovereign gu arantee of the federal government that covers its debt obligations to State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and ensures safety of deposits under the Banks (Nationalizati on) Act 1974. The bank s lending book is largely funded through SBP s credit lin es while contribution from deposits remains nominal. ZTBL is actively exploring different options for resource mobilization including bilateral/multilateral arr angements with financial institutions. In case these efforts materialize; it wou ld diversify the existing funding source of the bank, thereby reducing reliance on the SBP. 11 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Corporate Vision Dedicated to serve the needs of the farming community, by delivering financial p roducts and technical services on a competitive and sustainable basis, in a conv enient, efficient and professional manner, leading to success of the Bank and th e farmers. Corporate Mission To play effective role in the promotion of economic growth, by enhancing the ava ilability of credit to the agriculture sector, through reliable access to sustai nable financing, special lending programs, technical assistance, and other produ cts & services, and to promote career development opportunities for increasing p rofessionalism and technical proficiencies of employees. Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Corporate Objectives 1. Develop and operate as a financially and operationally sustainable R.F.I of t he country. 2. Assist rural community, particularly the small farmers, in raisin g their productivity and income levels through timely delivery of credit, adviso ry and ancillary services. 3. Build ZTBL's image as a proactive, client friendly , financially & operationally sustainable with indigenous product deployment. 4. Establish and provide backward and forward linkages to strengthen agri. value a dded commodity chains. 5. Engage in public - private and wholesale - retail part nership to deepen outreach and reduce operating cost. 6.

The conversion of ADBP into ZTBL had a conditionality of the Asian Development B ank (ADB) loan framework as per which a restructuring exercise was initiated. Th e restructuring process entailed ADB s Rural Finance Sector Development Program (RFSDP) with the objective to transform ZTBL into a sustainable Rural Finance In stitution. It also included the up-gradation of Information technology (IT) infr astructure for which funds from ADB s loan were to be utilized. Healthy and well -functioning rural finance markets are directly related to achieving the two key national policy objectives of accelerating rural/agriculture growth and reducin g poverty. The realization of these objectives depends on the simultaneity of de velopments in rural finance and non-financial markets to foster the creation of diverse sources of rural finance to build sustainable financial institutions, an d stimulate products and capital flows in the rural sector. For this, rural fina nce must be seen as an integral part of equitable development within a framework of macroeconomic stability. For the majority, access to affordable rural financ e services is also important to enable them to compete in the post-World Trade O rganization scenario. Inability to compete because of high financial costs could reduce income of the majority of farmers and rural clients, particularly the sm all and subsistence clients. Lack of access to affordable rural finance services will also prevent the clients from switching to non-farm activities. The ZTBL r estructuring plan covering the following; y Governance: establish an environment that facilitates good governance and accountability; y Systems: modernize opera tions through use of technology, networking, and communication tools; y Business processes: streamline products and delivery systems so as to reduce transaction costs, simplify operations, and increase outreach; y Products and services: int roduce products and services that are financially economically viable; y Human r esource development: improve standards and skills of management and staff and st rengthen training capacity; and y Information Technology: establish new hardware and software platform to support MIS, accounting system including forensic acco unting, and risk Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 management functions. The reforms shall establish ZTBL as a key R.F.I of the country. By expanding its private sector role, the bank aims to establish network of high tech rural and agri. financial services through intermediations under public private participat ion and whole-sale retail lending mechanism. 15 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Branch Network Head Office Islamabad, Pakistan Details of Regional Offices Punjab Sindh Balochistan Khaber Pakhtunkhaw Abbottabad 7 Branches Mingora 15 Branches Peshawar 20 Branches Gilgit Balitistan Gilgit 7 Branches Islamabad 13 Branches Multan 8 Branches D.G.Khan 6 Branches Sahiwal 15 Branches Lahore 20 Branches Gujranwala 18 Branches Bahawalpur 13 Branches Faisalabad 20 B ranches Sargodha 16 Branches Vehari 11 Branches Karachi 15 Branches Hyderabad 14 Branches Mirpur Khas 14 Branches Sukkur 15 Bran ches Larkana 18 Branches S.B.

ZTBL is go vernment institute and it is not listed in any stock exchange. I have tried to g et copy of financial statement from the offices of bank but I failed to find any copy from the branch where I have completed my internship then I have contacted zonal offices and they also did not have any copy of the financial statement of year 2009. With the reference of branch manager I have requested it from the He ad Office but I came to know that publication department has not published the f inancial statement for the year 2009. The last financial statement which is avai lable in the printed form is of year 2007. The financial statement of year 2008 is also not available in printed form however it is available on internet in the excel format which does not include director and auditor report. This is the re ason that the horizontal and vertical analysis is done from 2004 to 2008. Howeve r, the Key Financial Trends of year 2009 is included in the report which I have obtained from the credit rating report published by Japan Credit Rating Agency o n August 2010. The internship report also includes a glimpse view of banks perfo rmance from 1997 till 2009 which I have collected from the bank s website, other websites and newspapers. 43 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Interpetation of Horizontal and Vertical Analysis Markup/ Return/ Interest Earned Markup/return/interest earned is the amount which the bank earns from its primar y function of lending money to its customers. Increase in this income shows that bank is growing, the reason of this growth can be either the increase in custom er base or in the increase of rate of lending. When I compare the markup/return/ interest earned by the bank in the past 5 years it shows that the bank has impro ved its primary function in recent years. The year from 2005 to 2007 shows a dec line in this income which is a clear sign that in that specific years the bank p erformance was not satisfactory, the reason of this performance can be the polit ical unrest in the country due to which sufficient attention couldn t be given t o bank s working or it can be result of large NPL s. In the notes related to mar kup/return/interest earned it shows that the bank is earning a major part of its income from the loans given to customers, the bank has less focus of investment . However, it is earning a handsome amount from the placement which it has made with other banks. Markup/Return/ Interest Expensed Markup/Return/ Interest Expensed is the expense of bank on taking deposits and b orrowings from the SBP. This expense shows an increase as compared to previous y ears which shows that bank s cost of deposits and borrowings has been increased. This increase can be due to two reasons, it can be due to increase in the amoun t of deposits and borrowing or it can be due to increase in the rate the bank of fered on deposits and on borrowing from SBP. In the notes it shows that bank is paying a large amount on borrowing from the SBP rather than on the deposits. It can be due to two reasons that either bank has deposits in the current account o n which it has to pay no or less cost or it is due to less deposits. From the am ount of deposits in the balance sheet it is clear that the deposits of bank are not of significant amount as compared to borrowing. I also know that bank is wor king manly on the amount borrowed from SBP rather than on deposits collected fro m the general public and institutes. An increase in markup/return/interest expen sed is not a bad sign if the markup/return/interest income is also increasing, h owever if the increase in expense is more than the increase in the income than i t will be a negative sign. From the vertical analysis of Profit and Loss account it is clear that the income is Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 much more than the expense w hich shows that the bank has cushion to confront with other expenses incurred du e to secondary functions of the bank which is a positive sign. Net Markup/Interest Income It is the income which the bank is earning after paying the markup/return/intere st expensed. From the horizontal analysis of the profit and loss it is clear tha t there are many ups and downs in this income which is result of decline in the markup/return/interest income of the bank. But in the year 2008 it shows recover y and it is increased as compared to previous two years of 2006 and 2007. When I look net income in terms of amount in the profit and loss accounts of last five years I find it positive and a handsome amount to bear the other expenses of th e bank. Because the horizontal analysis is showing result by taking 2004 as a ba se year that is why in the year 2006 and 2007 it shows negative sign which means that in these two years the net income of the bank has been decreases as compar ed to year 2004. But in the year 2008 it again shows recovery. Provision again Non-Performing Loans This shows the cost bank is charging to it P&L account against those loans which may become bad debts; almost all banks try to reduce this cost. This shows the customer base of the bank to which bank is lending, the lesser the cost the bett er and trustworthy client base the bank has. Horizontal analysis of P&L A/C show s the decline in the recent years in this provision which is a positive sign for the bank. Which shows that bank s credit and recovery departments has improved their workings. Provision/ (reversal) against diminution in the value of investment This shows any provision required to charge or reverse for the investment made b y the bank. An increase in the provision shows that the investments of the banks are declining in value which will definitely result in loss and if the provisio n made before is reversed it shows that the value of the investment is increasin g. The horizontal analysis of the P&L account shows that the provision created b y the bank is reduced in 2008 as compare to 2007 which is a positive sign. The r eason of large provision in 2007 can be due to uncertainty in the stock market e tc. Write offs under Government Relief Packages 45 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 ZTBL is a government bank due to which the government can ask it to give relief to loanees of particular regions of category which also increase the cost for th e bank. The flood of 2010 is expected to increase this cost in this financial ye ar too because a large number of farmers have been effected with this flood and they are not in the situation to return their borrowed amount to the bank. For t he year 2008 there is not any amount which is asked by the government to write o ff but in the year of 2007 and 2006 there is some amount which banks directly wr itten off on the instructions of the government. Net markup/ Interest income after provisions This is net income after charging provisions. An increase in this income is a po sitive sign which can be due to two reasons that either the net markup/return/in terest income has increased or the provision required to be charged by the bank is reduced due to less number of NPL s loans. So, if the net markup/interest inc ome after provision is increasing it is a positive sign because the bank will ha ve more amounts to pay its other expenses like admin expenses etc. and it will r esult in more Gross Profit. Non Markup/Interest Income It is the income which the bank in earning from its secondary functions. An incr ease in this income is also a positive sign it shows that the bank is also makin g its secondary functions profitable. The secondary functions shows the amount e arned from the commission charged in the services offered by the bank, the divid end income etc. But this income may also have a portion of income gained by the bank by the sale of scrap or old machinery etc. It is not a positive sign if thi s income is larger part of total non markup/interest income. Because, the bank w ill not have the scrap to sale in all years and having larger part of this incom e of sale of scrap will definitely depicts that the bank s profitability can be affected in the coming years. However, if the bank has sold old machinery and in the meanwhile new machinery is added in the assets of the bank than it will be a positive sign because it will show that the bank is working on BMR (Balancing, Modernizing and Restructuring) which will result in better performance. The pro fit and loss account of the bank is showing an increase in the non markup/intere st income which is a positive sign. The vertical analysis of the profit and loss shows that other income is the larger part in non markup/interest income and fr om the notes it is clear that in the other income, the amount recovered which ha s been written off previously is making a bigger portion. Recovering a previousl y written off loan is a positive sign because it is causing an increase in the i ncome of the bank. Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Non Markup/Interest Expenses It consist on the expenses bank payed for admin expenses and some other expenses . But the admin expenses is usually a large part of this non markup/interest exp enses and also it is most important expenditure to have a look upen because it s hows that whether the bank is utilizing its human capital efficiently or not. A larger admin expenses is not a negative sign if it is also increasing the income of the bank. However, if the percentage change in the increase in the admin exp enses is more than the percentage in the increase in the income than it is a neg ative sign beacause is paying more to increase its income. Almost all banks try to control this income so that to increase their income. The ratio of Admin Expe nses to Deposits is used to check the cost bank is facing on collecting of depos its which is the main source of money bank required to lend to others to make in come. However, in ZTBL the bank relies on borrowing from SBP more than on deposi ts so the efficiency of admin expenses can not be judge from the ratio of admin expenses to deposits. So, it is difficult to say anything about the cost of admi n expenses. From the horizontal analysis it is clear that the admin expenses has been increased in 2008 but the profit of the bank is also increased so it is no t a negative sign. By looking in the notices of financial statement it is found that admin expenses consists on a number of expenses, salaries of the staff no d oubt a major a part of it but other expenses like traveling expenses, motor vehi cal cost of repairing etc are also effecting this cost a lot. Because I know tha t the MCO scheme has become a major part of the bank s working so increase in th e cost of traveling, rapairing is not a surprise. Profit before Taxation The profit before taxation has been significantly increased in the recent years, the financial statement for the 2009 is still not available on internet nor in print format but some key facts which has been published by the bank for the 200 9 shows that bank continues making profit in year 2009 also. When I look in the previous year it found that the profit before taxation is 2.5 times more than it was in 2004. However, the increase in the profitiability is not constant there are ups and downs in it. Like in 2005 and 2006 the profit of the bank has been d ecresed as comapred to 2004 and in 2007 it again started increasing and this con tinues till 2009 which have result of more than 2 Billion. Taxation Due to increase in the profit the tax has been also increased, it is almost doub led in the last 5 years like the profit of the bank which has been also doubled. So, it not a negative sign. By compare the increse in the profit before tax and the increase in tax, I come to know that the increase in the tax is less than i ncrease in profit which can be due to two 47 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 reason that whether the rate of tax is not increased as the income of the bank o r the bank is managing its tax efficiently. Profit after Tax The after tax profit of the bank continued to increase in the recent years which is a good sign and also shows that bank has improved its working a lot than few years before. The profit for the year 2008 is almost 300% more than the 2004 wh ich show that the profit of the bank is tripled in last five years. The same tre nd continued in 2009 in which the bank also made a record profit. Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Interpetation of Horizontal and Vertical Analysis of Balance Sheet Cash and Balance with Treasury Banks It shows the amount placed with SBP in order to fulfill the requirement of banki ng companies ordinance, 1962. There is a decline in the amount with respect to p revious year, the reason of it can be the decrease in the volume of deposits due to which the bank is not required to maintain higher placement with SBP. Howeve r, the deposits also show an increase in it, so the reason of this decrease in t he cash and balances with treasure bank is uncertain. One other can be this that the bank has placed higher amount with SBP than required in the previous year a nd that is why in this year the bank has withdrawal the money from its account w ith SBP. Balances with other Banks Horizontal analysis of Balance sheet shows significant increase in the placement with other banks. It is not a good sign if the placement is in ideal state and is not generating any revenue for the bank. However, from the notes of ZTBL it i s clear that the bank has placed amount with other banks in the accounts which a re giving markup to the bank. Placing money with other institutions is not a goo d thing for any bank when does on a large scale because it cannot generate enoug h money to compensate the opportunity cost the bank is bearing on not investing or advancing this money to its customers. However, the case of ZTBL is different . It borrows money from SBP at fewer rates and lends it to farmers. The rate it charges to farmers is less than the prevailing rate in the market (currently 9%) so by depositing money with other financial institution it can earn more than t he rate it is offering to its clients. Because it is an institute developed just for the improvement of agricultural sector so the bank s main focus is on lendi ng rather than investing. Investments-net There are ups and downs in the amount of investment made by the bank in the prev ious five years. From the notes to the account it is clear that bank usually inv est in less risky investment like Market Treasury Bills and Pakistan Investment Bonds. The less risky investment will result in less gain on investment but here the return on investment is not the main focus of the bank. The money the bank owns is largely consist on the borrowed money from SBP, so the bank cannot use t he borrowed money in a more risky adventure. 49 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Advances-net The bank continues to increase the amount of advances to facilitate more and mor e farmers every year. The data of 2009 shows a record increase in lending to far mers; the bank has disbursed 77.7 Billion rupees in 2009 as compared to 70.7 Bil lion in 2008. The percentage increase in the horizontal analysis also shows this continuous increase in the trend of advancing. Operating Fixed Assets The assets of the bank are also increased in 2008 and in 2009 the president of t he bank also announced to increase it further by constructing new buildings. Inc rease in the fix assets shows that the bank is optimistic about its future. Borrowings It is the amount which bank has borrowed from SBP. There is no change in this lo an from 2004 the reason is that neither SBP has given new loan to ZTBL nor ZTBL has returned any principal amount of loan back to SBP due to which the amount of loan borrowed remain unchanged. ZTBL and SBP is now negotiating on terms and co nditions of returning principal amount in 15 equal installments. Deposits Deposits are the backbone in any bank operations because the primary function of any bank is to take deposit from depositors and then lend it again to other who needs it. But as I have written before ZTBL does not rely on deposits more like any other bank. However, in recent years the bank is trying to shift its depend ence from SBP to other resources and due to this it starts increasing its deposi ts by marketing. But the efforts in this respect is still need improvements as t he products offered by ZTBL is not as attractive as offered by other commercial banks. Share Capital In 2008 the bank has issued bonus shares to increase its paid up capital. The re ason of this increase can be the requirement of SBP to maintain a minimum equity level. Currently the paid up capital of the bank is 12.5 Billion. Reserves Reserves are made for the development of the organization or for the contingenci es which can affect in the future. There is continuous increase in the reserves of the bank from last five years which is a good sign. These reserves also inclu de the statutory reserve requirement according to banking companies ordinance, 1 962. Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Surplus on Revaluation of Assets-Net of Tax It is surplus amount which is the bank expect to get if it will sell these asset s. The market conditions never remain certain; the price of anything can rise or fall in matter of second. This is the reason that organizations use to revalue their assets to record their value according to prevailing market rates. The rev aluation of fixed assets also helps banks in raising their equity which result i n more lending power of the bank. Conclusion Although the bank needs improvements in many fields, the overall performance of the bank is satisfactory. The bank has made many efforts in the recent years and it is clearly visible in the result of its financial statements. The reduction in NPL s is also a positive sign and will definitely result in good performance. Besides a government institution the bank has made before tax profit of 4.9 Bil lion which is great achievement. If the process of improvement continues than it can make more profit in the upcoming years and its success will also result imp rovement in financing facilities to people of rural area. 51 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Ratios Ratios Avg.

In my opinion the admin expenses is requir ed to be calculated by adding borrowing also with the deposit. For example if we will calculate this ratio by adding borrowing with deposits than the result for 2008 will be 7.975 rather than 83.322 which is acceptable. By calculating all a dmin expenses with this formula the result of spread will be like this. Ratios Avg. Rate of lending Avg.

However, all this shows that there is still problem the bank Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 is not utilizing its human c apital as it needs to. The main reason behind this is the working style of the b ank, because it a government institute so the wastage of resources is not a surp rise thing. However, the bank is continually improving its working style and als o moving towards making high profit. Ratio of net markup to total income shows that bank has improved its secondary f unction as wel. But this improvement is not stable one when I look the ratios of previous years, it shows ups and downs in it. Return on assets Return on assets is a ratio uses to gain information that how much assets of the company producing profit, the more the result of this ratio the more efficently the bank is utilizing its assets. More than 2 is considerd a good ratio and the result of ZTBL is also showing good result, the ratio of 2009 is also more than 2 which is found in the report published by Japan Credit Rating Agency. Infection ratio It is an important ratio which shows that how much advances of the bank is place d under classified advances. In other words, it shows that how much loans given by the bank is considered to become bad debts. The more this ratio is, the more the bank needs to maintain the provisions against these loans and which will res ult in lesser profitability. Usually, ideal situation is conisdered where this r atio is less than 5%, in this situation the bank has a biger portion of customer s which are trust worthey and have credit worthiness. The infection ratio of ZTB L is very high which can be considered a negative sign. However, keeping in view the previous records it is clear that bank has improved it a lot and all this i mprovement is giving sense that if bank continue working with the same pace than in the next two to three years this ratio will decrease significantly and can c ome under satisfactory level. The record of NPL s is given in the Quick View of ZTBL s Performance. Provision to Classified Advances 53 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 This ratio tells that how much provision the bank is maintaing against its class ified advances. The more this provision is, the more it can be assumed that the classified advances of bank is in the category of loss. Maintaing provision is t he requirement of Prudential Regulations of State Bank of Pakistan, the more ris ky the loan is the more provision the bank is required to maintain. The bank has to keep its classified advances in the four categories, (1) Other Assets Especi ally Mentioned (2) Substandard (3) Doubtful (4) Loss. Each category has its own requirement of provision, the higher the category, the higher the provision requ ired to maintain. The ratio calculated from the financial statement of ZTBL show s a continuous increase, it is a negative sign because the bank is maintaining l arger provision which shows that a large part of classified advances are in the category of loss. And it shows that bank is not doing enough to recover these lo ans. Advances to Depoists Advances to deposit shows that how much part of deposit is used by bank to advan ce. Usually this ratio remains with in range of 70 to 75 % because 25% of all ba nk deposits is required to be kept in statutory reserve to maintain minimum liqu dity requirement. The ratio of ZTBL is presenting a different scenerio, it is mo re than 1400% for the year 2008 which an abnormal result. I have mentioned the r eason of it many times before in this report, the reason is that ZTBL is advanci ng a large part out of the loan it has obtained from the SBP. The borrowing of t he bank is much larger than the deposits it has this is the reson that this rati o is showing such result. Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Key Financial Trends of 2009 According to Japan Credit Rating Agency on August 2010 Note: The following is the extract from the report of Japan Credit Rating Agency issued on August 2010 showing the new credit rating of ZTBL. Balance sheet footi ng of the bank was higher at year-end 2009 at Rs. 113.6b. Net advances increased to Rs. 83.6b (2008: Rs.69.b) representing a higher proportion of total assets a t 74% at year-end 2009. While various new loan products have been launched been launched by the bank in 2009, Sada Bahar Scheme has remained the flagship produc t of the bank. For all new borrowers of crop production loans, Awami Zarai Schem e (AZS) has been launched by the bank; outstanding balance against this scheme m ay also show increase over time. To ensure proper utilization of loan, the bank has incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary to make arrangement for in-kind lendi ng to farmers. The IT infrastructure of the bank has improved considerably over time. With the implementation of various applications at branch-level to consoli date loan 55 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 disbursement & recovery data, monitoring of lending activities has improved, tho ugh there may still be a need to further strengthen the loan recovery mechanism. Gross infection has declined from16.7% in 2008 to 15.8% in 2009; however there is still need for further strengthening the recovery mechanism. Net infection ho vered at prior year s level at 11.5%. Net NPLs in relation to Tier-1 capital sto od at almost 57% at year-end 2009. ZTBL has arranged crop loan insurance for whe at, cotton, sugarcane, rice and maize. As the insurance coverage is enhanced, th e risk of loss in case of calamities will be reduced. Growth in loan portfolio during 2009 absorbed some of the liquidity held by the bank. Liquid assets to total borrowings and deposits declined to 27%. The bank h as made efforts to enhance its deposit base, though these continue to represent a small proportion of the total resource base. The bank had outstanding borrowin gs of Rs. 54.5b from SBP at year-end 2009. The terms of restructuring of SBP deb t have yet to be finalized, which would have significant implications for the ri sk profile of the institution. The bank has so far not made any interest or prin cipal payments against these credit lines. While there is some cushion available to the bank in terms of markup differential receivable from the GoP vis-Ã-vis inte rest payable to SBP, liquidity profile may be significantly compromised if payme nt is required against the principal portion. One of the proposals under conside ration entailed debt to equity swap, which if finalized, would support capitaliz ation levels and facilitate in furthering the government s economic objective pu rsued through the bank. Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Credit Risk Gross advances of the bank considerably grow over 2009, with year-end outstandin g balance of Rs. 89.4b (2008: Rs. 77.8b). Loan disbursements of around Rs. 78b w ere made by the bank in the outgoing year. Loan disbursement target for fiscal y ear 2010 was Rs. 80b. ZTBL is used as an arm by the Government, with disbursemen t target stipulated as part of the annual budget process. For FY10, 22.7% of the loan disbursement target pertained to development loans, while remaining was fo r production loans. All targets are allocated by SBP. While various new loan pro ducts have been launched by the bank, Sada Bahar Scheme has remained the flagshi p product of the bank. Loan products launched in 2009 include, Green Tractor Sch eme, Crop Productivity Scheme and Rural Development Scheme. Green tractor scheme is specifically for the province of Punjab and entails subsidy of RS. 200,000 p er unit for 10,000 tractors. Banazir tractor scheme is applicable to all areas o f Pakistan. On receiving complaints from borrowers regarding non-cooperative att itude of tractor dealers, a tractor delivery system has been developed through K SSL in the outgoing year. Awami Zarai Scheme (AZS) has been launched by the bank for all new borrows of production loans, pertaining to inputs required at the t ime of crop cultivation. As per the scheme, agriculture inputs will be supplied by KSSL to farmers in lieu of cash. Quantity of input needed for each crop on a per acre basis has been predetermined by the bank. The farmers will be provided a specific quantity of inputs according to cultivable land. The purpose of AZS i s to ensure proper utilization of loan proceeds. Crop productivity scheme is spe cifically for financing of fertilizer. Rural development scheme has been launche d to provide assistance for dairy, poultry, sheep and goat farming in the rural areas of AJ&K; especially earthquake affected areas. The bank has also setup a p ilot project for a model village in collaboration with ministry of food & agri./ provincial agri. Departments. Crop loan insurance has been made compulsory by S BP for wheat, cotton, sugarcane, rice and maize financing. To facilitate loan in surance, the bank has to pay the premium for subsistence farmers, which is subse quently reimbursed by GOP on a half yearly basis. ZTBL has arranged crop loan in surance with Adamjee insurance company limited (AICL). Premium is charged @ 1.3% of loan sanctioned. 57 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 The implementation of software applications has facilitated monitoring of lendin g activities at branch level. The need for strengthening the collection mechanis m however remains, as may be ascertained form the portfolio quality indicators. NPLs increased to Rs. 14.2b (2008: Rs. 13b) during 2009. During the out-going ye ar, an amount of Rs. 2.6b was charged off against provisions as per the prudenti al regulations, with cumulative balance of charged off loans standing at Rs.34.9 8b at the end of December 2009. This amount was lower than the balance of Rs. 36 .30b at the end of December 2008, on amount of recoveries of 4.29b made against charge off amount. At year-end 2009, gross infection in the loan portfolio of th e bank remained high at 15.8% (2008: 16.7%). The overall agriculture loan portfo lio of the banking sector had gross infection of 16.1% (2008:15.3%) at end-Decem ber 2009. Around 52 %( 2008: 47%) of NPLs were classified as OAEM at year-end. O n account of this,, provisioning coverage against total NPLs Is low. Net infecti ons (NPLs adjusted for specific provisioning only was 11.5% (2008:11.2%). Minimu m recovery target set by the bank entails 90.8% of current dues and 75% of past dues. In 2009, recovery of 91% was achieved against current dues, while 72.4% re covery was made against past dues. Recovery targets are monitored on a branch-wi se basis; in branches where overall recovery is less than 75% loan approval auth ority is retracted. The bank held fixed income securities of Rs. 6.7b at Decembe r 2009, increasing form Rs. 4.5b at the end of the preceding year. Of these, onl y Rs. 283.65m was placed in COIs whiles remaining comprised government paper, cr edit risk associated with which is considered minimal. COIs are also placed with counterparties of sound risk profile. In addition to the above, the bank has Rs . 100m invested in a wholly owned subsidiary. Market Risk Net investments of the bank increased to Rs. 7.2b (2008: Rs. 5.1b) at end- Decem ber 2009. Around 73% of net investments comprised short-term treasury bills. Pri ce risk on the same is considered low. Fixed-rate long term PIBs represented 14% of net investments. These carry markup rates in the range of 12-13% and have ma turities between Aug-Dec 11. Recent increase in benchmark rate is expected to ha ve reduced the market value of fixed income instruments held in the portfolio. H owever, the bank has both the intent & ability to hold these to maturity. Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Investment in equities at co st was maintained at Rs. 100.6m, comprising exposure in unlisted securities amou nting to Rs. 10.5m. Investment in unlisted securities has been fully provided fo r various reasons. Investment in listed equities of Rs 89.3m had a market value of Rs 537m. Liquidity Total borrowings and deposits of the bank where higher at Rs. 63.2b (2008:Rs. 59 .9b) at year end 2009 with increase in deposit to Rs. 8.75b (2008: Rs 5.43b). Bo rrowings were maintained at Rs. 54.5b at year-end 2009. Liquidity profile of the bank declined in relation to 2008, with liquid assets to total borrowing and de posits reducing to 27 %( 2008:36%). Depositors of the bank are primarily individ uals. Proportion of current and saving accounts in the deposit mix was maintaine d at 94%. Since deposits still comprise a small proportion of funding mix; impro vement in the deposits does not have a material impact on the cost of funding fo r the bank. The bank had outstanding borrowings to the tune of Rs. 54.5b from SB P at year-end 2009. These borrowings were obtained to provide finance to clients for agriculture. At the time of reorganization of ADBP into ZTBL, these credit lines were restructured and a moratorium was given to ZTBL according to which it had been allowed to repay SPB debt in 15 years (in 30bi-annual installments) wi th a grace period of 3 years starting from July 2003 and the last payment was su pposed to be of Rs. 3.20b, representing the subordinated loan. At the time of re structuring, the bank had proposed to cap the markup on these borrowings at 2.35 58 %( 12 month t-bill rate as at July 01, 2003) for five years but the matter ha d not been acceded to by the SBP. Since then, various restructuring proposals ha ve been discussed by the bank with the ministry of Finance and SBP, though an ag reement on this issue has still to be achieved. The bank has not made any princi pal repayment on the premise that the restructuring terms have not been finalize d. These loans are secured by way of federal government guarantee. Presently, th e bank is accruing interest expense on these at varying rates. Three credit line s amounting to Rs. 1.577b carry interest rate of 4% p.a. while remaining thirty two lines amounting to Rs. 48.597b are based on PLS subject to maximum share of profit to SBP ranging from 4-10% p.a. markup on subordinated loan is being charg ed at weighed average yield of t-bills of 12 months maturity. No return however has been actually paid by the bank, with a total payable of Rs. 19.54b having be en accrued by December 32, 2009. Any plan requiring immediate payment of the eit her the interest expense or 59 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 principal may place significant stress on the bank, as it does not have the requ ired liquidity. However, the bank also has markup differential of Rs. 17.74b rec eivable from the government. This amount is not recognized on books. There are a lso other amounts recoverable from the government in lieu of relief packages, wi th outstanding balance of Rs. 956.27m at year-end 2009. Profitability Return on markup bearing assets declined to 9.8% on account of decline in high-y ielding lending to financial institutions. Nevertheless, interest income of the bank increased to Rs. 8.7b (2008: Rs 8.5b) attributable to overall higher averag e markup bearing assets during 2009. Net interest income of the bank also depict ed an increase to Rs. 5.1b (2008: Rs.4.98b). Cost of funding hovered at 6%, thus spreads declined to 4%. Cash outlay has not been made by bank for payment of in terest on borrowings, and interest in only being accrued on books. Non interest income of the bank was higher at Rs. 38.2 m attributable to increase in dividend income on investments. Other revenues primarily comprising recoveries on charge d off loan amounts was Rs. 4.3b (2008: Rs 4.8), taking total revenues, net of fi nancial charges, to Rs. 11.2b (2008: Rs. 10.4b). Administrative expenses of the bank inclined to Rs. 5.2b (2008:Rs. 4.5b), in line with inflationary trends in t he economy. While salary expense experienced growth of 12% staff strength of the bank was rationalized to 5,352(2008: 5,370). In December 2005, the bank had int roduced SR-2005, a retirement benefit scheme for its employees. A significant pr oportion of employees switched to SR 2005 from their existing pension scheme in 2005. The scheme was re-opened in 2009 and 1,097 Executives/officers of the bank opted for SR-2005, resulting in an expense of Rs. 677.8 to bank in 2009. Increm ental provisioning against non-performing loans declined to Rs. 563 (2008: Rs. 1 .9b). The bank posted profit before tax of Rs. 4.6b (2008: Rs. 3.99b) for 2009. Profit for 2009 was reduced to Rs. 1.8b (2008: Rs. 2.6) after adjustment of tax expense of Rs. 2.8b (2009: Rs. 1.4b) which pertained to current and prior year. Capitalization As of December 31, 2009 equity of the bank was higher at Rs. 18.7b (2008: Rs. 16 .9b), exceeding the minimum capital requirement of Rs. 6b mandated by SBP.

Concept like th ese helps bank in safeguarding itself in the risky adventure of financing to sma ll farmers. 65 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Weaknesses y ZTBL have not introduced any Islamic product in financing. Islamic banking is becoming popular in these days and to sustain and increase the number of custome rs every bank is felling need to start offering Islamic Products. This ZTBL requ ires noticing this changing trend. y In spite of the presence of technology many jobs are done manually. Almost all other bank s operations have been computeriz ed but ZTBL is still working on manually written ledgers etc. y Like other Gover nment institutes the red tap dilemma also exists in ZTBL. y The staff is not mot ivated because the promotion mechanism is based on experience rather than on the performance of the employees. This is the reason that usually employees stop gi ving their full efforts after knowing the reality that their performance pays a less role in their success. y The average loan disbursement amount is 85,000 to single person which is not a big amount. Usually the loan obtained by the loanee can be used to meet working capital requirement only it cannot be used to fulfi ll the dream of modernizing of agriculture sector. y There is a lack between the planning of head office and the reality of environment because the staff at hig h level have little know how of the real situation on the ground. y The infrastr ucture of the bank is also based on old style; the bank is not refurnishing its branches like the other banks have done in this decade. y The situation at branc h level is not good, there is lack of even furniture, fans etc. Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Opportunities y The bank started computerizing its operation which if completed will result in i ncrease of the bank performance. The impact of computerization can be seen from the result of recovery of 2009 which is 89%. The computerized system helps bank in reducing fraud. Due to increase in the government attention toward the agricu lture sector it is expected to see the role of the bank increasing in the near f uture. As a result of different steps taken by the government regarding the bett erment of the agriculture, small borrowers are attracted to get the financing an d to start business. So, the ZTBL has an opportunity to attract the customers by giving them more attracted schemes. They have wide area network in all over the Pakistan, so ZTBL can make it possible the fast delivery of funds to rural area s. The flood of 2010 is challenge for the whole country. Because the most effect ed people are farmers so the bank has a chance to increase its reputation by uti lizing its full resources to help them. It is also expected that the relief whic h the government may provide to them will also be delivered through the bank in the form of relaxation to the loanees. y y y 67 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Threats y The biggest threat in the banking sector is the continuous downfall of the count ry economy since the last few years. Sudden rise and fall in the trade and indus try conditions and stock exchange business of the country also adversely affect the growth of banking sector. The default ratio of customers who are availing th e credit facilities from the ZTBL can rise due to the economic recession in the country. Government type of working style is also a threat to the bank which req uires to be changed to keep the banking growing. Many commercial banks also star ted agriculture loaning scheme so it is expected that in the future the farmers will have more choices to have finance from which will definitely affect the cus tomer base of the bank. Political unrest is also a threat for the bank because i t is a government owned bank and the change in government can result a change in the strategy of the government which can affect the plan made by the bank. Natu ral Calamities is also a problem, the bigger part of the bank customers relies o n the environmental condition. Almost whole of the agriculture industry have thr eat from the changing environment conditions. The example of 2010 flood is still in front of us those who are affected are unable to pay their loans back. y y y y y y Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Part Two Ch. 5: Assignments I handled during my Internship. 69 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Chapter 5 Organogram of Mian Channu Branch Manager AMD (Assistant Manager Desk) AMO (Assistant Manager Operations) Assistant Officer MCO (Mobile Credit Officer) MCO (Mobile Credit Officer) Accountant Cashier Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Redemption of loan On the payment of all the dues by the loanee (principal + interest), he can free his land (or any other security provided) from any charge created by bank for t he purpose of loan. For this purpose he will have to present the following docum ents: 1. 2. 3. 4. Application for redemption Stamp Paper of rupee 20 Last receip t of amount paid Cheque book (if issued) When the loanee provides these documents to assistant officer (Or any officer ap pointed for these sort of work), the assistant officer asks the peon to bring th e Loan Case File of the borrower. After the file is received by the assistant of ficer, he checks the documents that whether all the documents are there in the f ile. Then he makes required entries in the Passbook. These entries usually made on the page 28 and 30. The example of entries is given below. The following entr ies are made on page 28. See page number 16 and block number 3 for detail. The e ntire loan including interest has been paid by (Here page number 16 the loanee. shows the number and date of last charge created against the land of loanee in t he favor of bank) The following entries are made on page 30. See page number 18 and block number 8 for detail. ZTBL Mian Channu (Page number 18 is usually the p age where the detail of land mortgaged has been given, it include the area of la nd, khatoni number etc) 71 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 After these entries the officer then sends the file to Manager for signature. On approval from the Manager for the Redemption Application the assistant officer attaches all afore said documents with in the file and record in the File Moveme nt Register that file has been moved from the record room for the redemption pur pose. Than the file is send to AMO (Assistant Manager Operation) for further pro cess. The loanee is given the date of next week to collect his Passbook . During this period AMO checks the record of the loanee to confirm that the entire due amount with respect to that particular loan has been paid and then he signs to g ive approval to assistant officer to issue Passbook to the loanee. The AMD (Assi stant Manager) and Manger both also sign the notice issued in the name of Patwar i and Tehsildar that the land can be transferred to the loanee as the loan has b een fully paid by him. Then file again comes to the assistant officer, he checks the signature both in the notice and Passbook and then stamped both. Now the Pa ssbook is ready to issue. Before issuing Passbook the officer record that passbo ok is issued to the loanee in the Dispatched Register . On the issuance of Passb ook to the loanee, the officer verifies that the person receiving the documents is the original owner of the land which is mortgaged with the bank. After gettin g the Passbook, the loanee goes to Patwari and Tehsildar for the change of recor d back to his name. The one thing which is interesting here is obtaining Stamp P aper from the borrower. This is not a requirement but bank has made it practice so that if in the near future, it finds that some amount is still due by the bor rower than it can write on the stamp paper whatever it wants and then can claim the due amount from the borrower. This is precautionary measure adopted by bank because once the Passbook issued to the borrower and the land again transferred to his name, the bank will be in no position to recover any amount which is unex pectedly left due. The redemption process in short can be described as the following: y y y y y y Submission of Application Acceptance of application by manager Recor d of file in the File Movement Register Entries made in the passbook File send t o AMO for checking of loan status On approval from AMO, the Manger and Assistant manger signed the notice to issue Passbook Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 y The passbook dispatched to loanee with notice to Tehsildar to transfer land back to his name y After the l and is transferred to the loanee name, if he wishes he can withdraw the amount f rom his current account and can close his account. Usually the loanees do not re deem their land because they want to avoid the cost and wastage of time when in the future they again have to gain loan from the bank. So, they usually remain t he land in the name of the bank even after they have paid the whole loan amount. During my internship I have seen people who has paid loan more than 10 years ag o but they came to bank after such long time to redeem their land and the reason behind their redeem was that they want to transfer it to someone others name ot herwise they may not come for redeem. I have also seen one of the clients who ha s paid loan in 1985 but his land is still in the name of the bank and they have not redeemed it. After the death of the client his sons came to know that the la nd could not be transfer to their name because it is still mortgaged against the loan which their father had paid in 1985. So, at that time they reach bank for redemption because the bank always maintained record so their file found from th e record room after little efforts. All this shows the confidence the people has on the bank and also shows that in practical life anything can happen. 73 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Opening of Current Account In the ZTBL, the current account usually opened only when the person comes there for a loan. On the approval of loan, his sanctioned amount is usually credited to his current account. The procedure of opening of Current Account is not very complicated. The following are the main point in the opening of a new account: 1 . 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

In the ZTBL it is routine to open account when manager sanctioned an d signed the amount of loan. Because at that stage it becomes essential to have an account in the bank otherwise the amount of loan will not be paid. The other documents required to attach with the forms are: y 2 recent pictures y Copy of C NIC. 2: Filling Current Account Form After obtaining original CNIC the form for current account is filled with the in formation written on the CNIC.

This amount in ZTBL is usually 1000; however it depends on t he amount of loan sanctioned like some loans required to deposit a larger amount with the bank before issuance of loan from the bank. The example of such loan i s of Tractor because I have not be given chance to stay with an MCO, so I don t know what exact amount is required to deposit with the bank for any particular l oan. The Deposit Slip which I used to fill during my internship consist the foll owing information: Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. Depositor s Copy Branch Name: Branch Code: Date: Name: Account Number: Particula rs Amount Branch Name: Branch Code: Name: Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd.

In the bank where I have completed my internship, the cheque b ook is issued by the cashier when the person deposits his starting amount of acc ount and the amount of issuing of cheque book. 9: Opening account in the ledger of bank Unlike other banks, ZTBL is still working on manually written ledger books. Howe ver, the bank is also gradually computerizing its records. These ledger books ar e large books with a number on front of it which helps in finding the record of any particular person. The ZTBL Mian Channu branch where I have completed my int ernship has 52 ledgers at that time with the current account holder of 11595 at the date of 15 September 2010. There will absolutely many accounts which will no t be alive. When the depositor deposited the amount his name and other particula rs is written down in the ledger so that he can transact with the bank in the fu ture. The ledger of current account contains the following information. Zarai Tarqiati Bank Ltd. Branch name: Mian Channu Page no. 177 Branch Code: 20226 Name: Father: Address: Account no: Cheque book: Date 15-09-2010 15-09-2010 16-09 -2010 Signature: Particulars By cash Loan Paid To Cheque. (no.) Debit Credit 1000 50000 Balance 1000 51000 1000 Signing authority 50000 The above given table is the example of information usually written in the curre nt account of a customer. There are also many other column available in the ledg er books but they all are not used in the bank. There are some options which are not printed there but it is a practice to write that information, like there is no column of signature Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 but without a signature no o ne can check the validity of a cheque. So, I have observed that the signature an d thumb impression is used to take in the right side of ledger book where a lot of space is available. The other option which I have mentioned here but not incl uded in the ledger book is the cheque book number. It is also practice to write down serial of cheque book in the space available. It makes it possible to confi rm that the cheque book which the customer is using to transact with the bank is associated with that particular bank account or not. Here I have also made few entries which show how a transaction is recorded in the ledger book. Absolutely, the date is the first option than the particulars which shows what exactly happ en on that day. Like in the first entry the bank account has been opened with an amount of 1000. So, I have written by cash in the particulars which represents that the person has transacted in cash. Then I credited the amount which shows t hat this money is given by the customer and in the balance column it has increas ed the balance with the same amount of 1000. The next column is used by the sign ing authority (AMO in my case) to confirm the transaction. As I have written bef ore that in ZTBL current account is usually opened only when the bank has to dis burse any loan to the customer. When I have joined the bank that was the slack t ime for the bank because all the customers of bank are farmers that is why they come to bank to get or give loan when they have to plant or harvest any crop. Th at is why a number of bank customers are seasonal. They are usually a great rush from April to June and then from November to December. Awami Zari Scheme was th e only scheme available to new borrower at the time I was there. In this scheme a part of sanctioned amount is given to borrower to meet the wage and water expe nses and the rest amount is paid by supply order of fertilizer and pesticides. T he amount which has to pay in the form of cash is credited to the current accoun t of customer from where he can withdraw it. The 2nd entry in the sketch of ledg er above shows the disbursement of any of such loan, which has increased the bal ance to 51000. When the customer draws a cheque on the bank the entry in the led ger will be like I have shown above with the date of 16-09-2010. The account of the customer will be debited and the balance will be reduced with the same amoun t. A large number of ZTBL customers are illiterate so they can not fill their ch eque by themselves and due to this reason almost all the cheques are filled in t he accounts by a clerk. Before filling the cheque of anyone he assures the balan ce in the account and in the same time he records entries so he will not have to reopen the ledger to make entry after the deposit or withdrawal of amount by th e customer. So there are some things 79 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 which I have learned from the seniors which they have developed to facilitate th emselves when the customer will come again in the future, these guidelines are f ollowing: y y y y y y Write the ledger name and its page number on the front of new cheque book Write the account number on every cheque of new cheque book Take the Thumb Impression of every customer on the cheque For the man take left thum b impression and for women take right or both No cheque will be paid to anyone e lse than account holder if it is a loan account Fill the cheque in Urdu if the c ustomer signs in Urdu or gives Thumb Impression only y Also fill the memorandum attached with in cheque book with each cheque to record all the transaction for future reference of client and to the bank also. All the cheques are required to be signed by respected authority before payment of cash, like AMO (Assistant Manager Operation). Before his sign no cheques can be passed, he also cheques the entries made by clerk in the ledgers before passi ng cheques. In this way the entries originated by any person is double checked w hich reduce the chances of any mistake. Whenever a cheque of more than 25000 is come to cash it is required to write a voucher of With Holding Tax with it so th at the amount of tax can be deducted from the payment. The vouching will be disc ussed later on. Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 ZTBL Flood Relief Fund 2010 Heavy monsoon rains started to hit Pakistan from 22 July 2010, causing flash flo ods in several parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Baluchistan, Punjab and Pakistan Adm inistered Kashmir. This flood have caused huge destruction, hundreds of villages have been swept away. Death toll has risen to more than 1500 people, at least 1 .2 million homes have been damaged and an estimated 17.2 million people have bee n affected by the floods. Floods have caused widespread damage to public infrast ructure, with roads submerged and tens of bridges swept away, many hospitals and an estimated 7,173 schools are being severely damaged. Power and communication lines are down in many areas. The economic cost is also huge. Thousands acres of agricultural land has been flooded, at least 3.2 million hectares of standing c rops have been damaged and at least 200,000 livestock animals have been lost. Th is is a snap shot of the situation after the flood and the damage final estimate s are yet to make. To help the victims of this flood ZTBL made Flood Relief Fund 2010 and the head office asked all the branches to collect the fund for this fl ood relief fund. According to circular issued by Head Office every branch make i t sure to convince the borrower, depositors and general public to contribute in this fund for this purpose the following procedure is required to follow: y From any loan of below 200,000 or any payment from the account of customer below thi s limit should be deducted with amount of at least 100 rupee to contribute in th e flood relief fund. However, it is required to make sure that avoid double dedu ction from any particular person s payment. But if anyone wants to contribute mo re than 100 or more than one time he can give at any time. y From any payment of more than 200,000 but less than 500,000 the rupee of 500 should be deducted to charge to flood relief fund keeping in view the double deduction. y From any pay ment of more than 500,000 the amount of 1000 should be deducted. The amount is d educted by filling a deposit slip with the name of the contributor to deposit in the account of flood relief fund (A/C No.3043). For this purpose every MCO (Mob ile Credit Officer) is given a deposit slip book so that he can collect fund fro m the 81 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 people during his visit to the villages. And inside the bank, the accounts depar tment makes it sure to fill this deposit slip with every payment. The weekly rep ort of these funds collection is required to send to Regional Office. According to the weekly report of last week of Ramdan, the Mian Channu branch where I did internship was in the first position in the collection of fund in the whole zone of Vehari. Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Writing of Vouchers Vouchers are the important evidence of all the transactions takes place in the b ank. In the accounts department of ZTBL it is the back bone, every transaction o f bank with reference to cash required a voucher to be drawn against it. The vouchers are of three types: 1. Debit Voucher (Receipt of Amount) 2. Credit Voucher (Payment) 3. Transfer Vou cher 1. Debit Voucher Debit Voucher is used when bank received any amount from anyone. The example is of deposited amount by the depositors, the payment of loan by the loanee etc. 2. Credit Voucher It is used for the payment of any amount by the bank to anyone. Like the cheque drawn on bank, the expenses of bank itself etc. 3. Transfer Voucher As the name shows it is used when the amount is required to transfer from one he ad to another. The example is the transfer of utilities bills accepted by the ba nk to the respected utilities provided company (Mepco, PTCL etc.). The transfer of return to the income account of bank, it is also used when the loan is sancti oned so it is required to transfer amount of loan to the loanee account. Another use of transfer account is to correct mistakes in the ledger, for example if an account is mistakenly debited in place of another account. So the transfer vouc her can be written to credit the first account and debit the second one to corre ct the mistake. In the end of day all the vouchers written during the day is req uired to be write down in the daily Scroll (which will be discussed later on) an d then all the vouchers of day is sewed and then sealed so that no new voucher c an be placed or removed from the record. These vouchers used to store in record room and they keep piling up there. Every voucher has at least two copies, one f or the customer and one for the bank record. For easy recognition the vouchers a re made of different colors. y Debit Voucher (Have three copies and in white col or) y Credit Voucher (Have two copies and in blue color) y Transfer Voucher (Hav e two copies and in yellow color) 83 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Sample of Debit/Credit Voucher Zarai Tarqiati Bank Ltd.

First the name or branch, its code and the date is required to write. Than the information from whom this tax is collected, his na me, father name, his village and city name will be written. After that in the pa rticulars it will be written A/O of With Holding Tax and in the GL Head (General Ledger Head) the head number of With Holding Tax (which is 3056 in the ZTBL) wi ll be written. The amount will be written after calculating .3% of withdrawal am ount. In the total the same amount will be written again and then this amount wi ll be written down in words. In the last the signing authority will sign in. In this voucher of W.H Tax only a few columns of the voucher is used, the other col umns can be used for other types of transactions. The explanation of each column is given below: 1: Particular: In particulars the reason of the transaction is written down. For example, Amoun t of Recovery etc. 2: Loan Case no./ Account no./ Advice no. If the voucher is of recovery than in this column the loan case number of the lo anee who has come to pay loan will be written. This column has 6 blocks to write , due to shortage of space these block can t be shown in the above sample of vou cher. Loan Case no./ Account no./ Advice no. 3 9 6 7 0 0 3: G.L Head (General Ledger Head) It is the General Ledger Head which is required to debit. These are standard hea ds used in the entire branches of ZTBL. Like 3056 is the G.L Head for W.H Tax, i t will be same when any branch of ZTBL will collect this tax from his customer. 4: T.R Code This code is rarely used for debit and that is why I don t have complete informa tion about it. In the recovery voucher this column is used, when MCO collects th e cash than I used to write 14 and when loanee himself comes to pay loan I used to write 15 in that place. So, it helps when the voucher is recorded in the comp uter room to understand the type of transaction. 85 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Like, in the credit voucher I was asked to write 01 code for all the expenses of the branch and 02 for the expenses of the Zonal Branch. So, it helps computer t o understand the type of transaction. These codes can be different in different banks. 5: R.O Code Originated/Respond code is used to show that whether a transaction is originated or responded. For example in the W.H Tax example the word O will be written in this column which will show that this debit voucher is originating this transact ion. And when this amount will be transferred to the respected head in that vouc her the word R will be written which will show that this voucher is responding t o any transaction. 6: Effective Date It is the date on which the amount is received. It can be different from the dat e on which the voucher has been written down. For example, on 13 September an MC O is on a tour to the villages which are under his circle; during his visit he c ollects recovery of 100,000 from someone. He will issue receipt to the loanee as evidence that MCO has collected cash from him and on the next day (14 September ) when he will come to the bank that MCO will deposit cash as a recovery in the name of that loanee. Because the cash has been collected by him a day before the voucher of recovery is written down so the effective date on voucher will be 13 September while the date of Voucher in right upper side column will be the date of 14 when the voucher is written. Why the effective date required? The answer of this question can be understood from the above example. The loanee has paid t he MCO on 13 September, while the amount is deposited by the MCO on 14 September . So, no interest is required to be charged for the day of 14 September because the amount has been already collected a day before. If the effective date will n ot be written than there will be discrepancy between the amount collected by MCO and the amount calculated in the accounts in the time of writing voucher becaus e the amount calculated in the accounts department will include the interest of one more day than collected by MCO. 7. Amount This column used to write the amount, it is also divided into many blocks so tha t when write any amount it will be easily readable later on. Like the first bloc k in Rs. Column from right side is for figure of hundred and the next block is o f thousands. Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Amount Rs. 11 000 2 09 000 Ps. - Total 2 20 000 - 8. Contra Voucher/Contra Branch No. This column is used when we are responding to some other voucher or branch. Duri ng my internship I have used it once time. One of the customer of a bank has rec eived tractor in the Benzir Tractor Scheme but the company failed to deliver the tractor on the agreed upon date. And it is a contract between the bank and the company that when company will not deliver the tractor on the agreed date, it wi ll be charged with the penalty of 150 rupee per day. So, the bank had a claim on the company of rupee 25,000 due to late delivery to the customer. The company h as transferred this amount to the bank account, so definitely the bank has a vou cher written against it. Now this penalty is in the bank account which it has to transfer to the customer who has faced difficulty due to late delivery. So, whe n I transferred the amount from bank account to the customer s account I was act ually responding to the first voucher created with which the amount was transfer red from company to the bank account. So, I was asked to write the voucher numbe r of that first voucher in the column of contra voucher of new voucher with whic h I am transferring amount to customer s account so that in future when any one need to find out that from which reason the account of the customer is credited, he can easily find the contra voucher number from the voucher written to transf er amount to the customer account. And when he will open the contra voucher numb er, he will find that the amount was transferred by the company as penalty to th e bank account. So, in short it is used when we are responding to any other vouc her or branch. The Exact view of contra voucher/contra Branch No. and Record no. /CA Code are the following. These two head come under the main head of Sundry/Su spense & Central A/C only which is not displayed in the voucher sample due to sh ortage of space. Sundry/Suspense & Central A/c only Contra Voucher/Contra Branch No. Record no./CA Code 3 9 6 7 0 0 0 1 87 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 9. Record No./CA Code. Record number is the number of the entry in any contra voucher to which we are r esponding. A voucher can have many transactions written on it as you can see tha t there are number of rows available in the voucher to write on. So, giving cont ra voucher number is not the only thing we need to write to give exact reference , we also need to give reference of Record no. of that particular transaction in that voucher. And CA code is used when we are responding to any Contra Branch N o. 10. Rupees in Words Rupees in words are compulsory to fill so that to avoid any mistake in writing a mount in numbers and also to avoid any misconception in future. 11. Encl (Enclose) Enclose is number of receipt if any attached with the voucher. Like if I want to write a credit voucher to pay some employee who has bought stationary for the o ffice use so I will attach the receipt of the stationary he has bought from the shop with the voucher and I will write (1) in the enclose so whenever anyone wil l see the voucher he will know that there is a receipt attached with the voucher . 12. Signatures There are three spaces available to sign in the voucher. These spaces are for th e person: y One who has prepared it y One who has checked it y And signing autho rity who passes this transaction But I have not seen anyone signing the first tw o places, the only signature place is used is of signing authority because it is compulsory. Both Debit and Credit vouchers have same columns and lines to write on. But the transfer voucher is different from these two, it has the same colum ns and lines but it is divided into two parts. Upper side is for the debiting an account and in the down side is for crediting an account. Because when we use t o transfer amount from one account to another account than there should be one a ccount which is required to debit and the other account should be credited to co mplete the whole entry. The sample of Transfer Voucher has been given in the nex t page. Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Sample of Transfer Voucher Zarai Tarqiati Bank Ltd.

I t is the record of all the cash inflows, outflows and transferred on a particula r day. Both cashier and operation officer writes his own scroll at the end of da y when they have to close the cash. The closing balance in both these scrolls mu st be same otherwise there are some transactions which have not been recorded co rrectly either by the cashier or the operation officer. If I will divide the pag e of scroll than the following are the important columns and part of it: Zarai Tarqiati Bank Ltd. Daily Transaction Scroll Name of Branch--------------------------Date Branch Code Sheet Number The above are the sketch of columns used in the upper side of scroll page. Sheet number is used when there are more vouchers to write and they cannot be written on a single sheet so the next sheet is required to use in such situation the nu mber of sheet should be written so that they can be arranged in a proper way. Sr Voucher G.L . No. Head 1 154700 2 701 3 568900 4 768200 Total Debit 11 000 500 5 000 4 000 11 500 5 000 4 000 4 000 4 000 Credit Debit Credit The above view is of the rest of the page where all the vouchers are recorded. T he sheet is divided into two sections the left side part is used to write the de bit and credit vouchers and their amounts, while the right side is used to write the debit and credit of transfer vouchers. The above is the example of writing of different vouchers. The first two vouchers are debit vouchers that are why I have written the amount (11,000 and 500) in the debit column. The 2nd voucher na me is not written completely which is an ease which can be Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 used if the same serial is g oing on and only the last number is changing. The third voucher is a credit vouc her and its amount (5,000) is written in the credit side in front of it. The fou rth voucher is representing a transfer voucher so its effect will be shown in th e right side of the sheet. In both Debit and Credit column of the right side of sheet is filled with the same amount because in transfer voucher one account wil l be going to be debit and the other will be credit so the net effect will be ze ro. In the end all the amounts of all the vouchers are totaled in their respecti ve columns. Like in this example the debit vouchers total amount is 11,500 and t he total of credit vouchers is 5,000. The debit and credit side of transfer vouc hers side will always be the same, which are 4,000 in the example. After getting this total the next step is to calculate and write the closing balance. 1. Open ing Balance 2. Debit Balance 3. Total Balance (1 + 2) 4. Credit Balance 5. Closi ng Balance (3 4) 400,000 11,500 411,500 5,000 406,500 To calculate the closing balance first step is to write the Opening Balance whic h is absolutely the Closing Balance of last day. Here in the example I have assu med it 400,000. After it the debit balance will be written in the 2nd row and in the 4th row both 1st and 2nd row will be added to get the total balance. Now th e credit balance will be written and to get the closing balance the credit balan ce is required to deduct from the total balance of 3rd row. To close the cash, t his closing balance should match the closing balance in the books of cashier. Wh en comparing with the cash scroll of cashier the Total Balance, Credit Balance a nd then Closing Balance all should be similar otherwise there will be something which is skipped during writing even by the Officer or by the cashier. When clos ing cash, in the end of this scroll sheet the number of total debit, credit and transfer vouchers is required to be written so that nothing can be added or eras ed from the above scroll by any one. Number Vouchers of Debit 2 Credit 1 Transfe r 1 Total 4 As you can find that in the above given example of scroll, there are two debits, one credit and one transfer vouchers have been written so the same number is wr itten in the ending column of scroll sheet. 91 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Making Entries in the Ledgers In ZTBL the record of current accounts and loans are manually maintained. There are many records which have been computerized but still the hand written ledgers are used. Making entries in the Ledgers requires simple concept of debit and cr edit. However the understanding of banking practices are required so that to fol low the exact way of recording any transaction because usually the column writte n on the ledger books are not used for the purposes for which they are made. The employee usually has established their own way of writing transactions in the l edgers the way in which they feel easy. I have found many columns unused in the ledgers of Sada Bahar Loan Scheme or they have been used to write other informat ion which is different from the heading of columns. Disbursement and Recovery Entries When a loan is sanctioned and ready to disburse it is recorded in the respected ledgers. I am here taking example of SBS (Sada Bahar Scheme) which is a revolvin g finance scheme. Every loanee has a unique Loan Case Number which is the base o f all the record of his loan. When a loan of SBS is sanctioned its amount is not transferred to the current account of the loanee like it is used to transfer in the AZS (Awami Zari Scheme). In SBS the Loan Case Number is used for all types of transactions, when a loan is sanctioned it is recorded in the SBS ledger with the name of loanee and Loan Case Number is used as an account number from which he can operate. The information which is required to write in the ledger sheet when a new loan has been passed and ready to disburse are following: y y y y y y y y Loan Case Number Name Parentage Address CNIC Maximum limit Date of maturity Cheque book number After entering the above information the loan can be disbursed to the loanee whe n he desires. Because almost all the customers of ZTBL are low earning farmers a nd they Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 require immediate cash to me et their expenses so they draw a cheque on the bank on the same time when their loan is entered in the ledger book. In SBS farmer can withdraw the amount till h e has reached maximum limit and the return will only be paid on the amount which he has taken out as a loan. The entries of disbursement can be easily explained by taking an example that the loan has be sanctioned and it is recorded in the ledger now loanee want to withdraw the total sanctioned amount of 50,000. The en try of this transaction will be in the following way at 01-01-2010: Principal Cr edit Balance Debit 50,000 1,480 18,520 31,480 1,480 Return Total Credit Balance Outstan ding 50,000 1,480 Nil 51,480 31,480 Date 01-1-10 31-4-10 01-5-10 Particulars To Cheque No. To Return Recovery Debit 50,000 After four month a computerized outstanding balance report of all the loans is g iven to each branch, it is called OBL (Outstanding Balance Ledger) . The bank al so adds return to the principal amount of each loan case, like it is shown in th e date of 31-04-10. (The interest rate on SBS is 9%) Now suppose that loanee has reached bank on 01-05-10 and he wants to pay 20,000. The entry is shown in the date of 01-05-10. It is rule in the bank that when the bank recovers any amount from the loanee than first return amount will be reduced and then the principal will reduced. Here in this example, the loanee wants to pay 20,000, so first int erest will be deducted which is 1480. To pay return we will credit it with 1480 and then the principal will be credited with the remaining amount (20,000-1480=1 8,520) as shown in the above diagram. Due to this payment the principal is also reduced to 31,480 and because the total return has been deducted that is why the total outstanding amount is also 31,480. (It is routine in the bank to check th e total outstanding amount in the ledger with OBL before receiving any recovery. This is a precaution because the handwritten and manually calculated ledgers ca n have mistakes so checking it with OBL make it sure that they are not receiving less amount from the customer.) 93 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Revolving SBS Loan Now suppose a situation where loanee wants to pay his entire outstanding loan an d then wants to withdraw it again. This usually happens when the MCO want to ach ieve his recovery target or the time period of one year is completed from the da te on which the loanee has withdrawn the amount. It is compulsion for every loan ee to return his entire loan at least once in a year, if he will not pay his loa n within one year, he will be treated as defaulter and he can withdraw only 90% of sanctioned amount from his running SBS finance. But in SBS the default situat ion is rarely occurs because when the limit of one year is near to end, the loan ee can revolve his loan by paying only interest of the loan. This can be explain ed by continuing the last example, on 01-05-10 the loanee has paid 20,000 and hi s remaining outstanding balance is now 31.480. Now suppose he comes again on 01- 06-10 and wants to revolve his loan, on that day the following entries will be m ade in his loan account: Principal Credit Balance Debit 50,000 1,480 18,520 31,8 40 31,480 31840 Nil 50,000 1,480 241 241 Return Total Credit Balance Outstan din g 50,000 1,480 Nil 241 Nil 51,480 31,480 31,720 Nil (A/C Closed) 50,000 Date 01-1-10 31-4-10 01-5-10 01-6-10 01-6-10 01-6-10 Particulars Debit To Cheque 50,000 No. To Return Recovery To Return Recovery To Cheque 50,000 No. Because the loanee wants to pay the total outstanding amount, the first thing to do is to calculate return on the last outstanding principal balance. Because th e loanee has already paid some part of principal on 01-05-10 due to which the pr incipal has been reduced from 50,000 to 31,480. Now the return will be calculate d from 01-05-10 to 0106-10 (31 days) at last outstanding principal balance of 31 ,840. (31,480 * 9/100 * 31/365) = 241 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 I have debited this return c alculated and it has increased the total outstanding to 31,720. Now the next ste p is to obtain all the outstanding amount of principal and interest so that the account can be closed and again revolved on that day. In the 2nd entry on the da te 01-06-10 I have credited all the principal amount and the balance of principa l became Nil and the same I did with the return, I have credited the total balan ce of return and its balance also became Nil. Because both principal and return balance is now Nil that is why the total outstanding amount of loan is also Nil now and the Account is closed on that situation. Now the loanee wants to revolve his account so he will again draw a cheque on the bank of any amount with in hi s sanctioned limit, in this example I have assumed he again wants to get the tot al amount out of it. So, I have again debited the amount which has increased the principal balance and then total outstanding balance to 50,000. These are just entries in the ledgers absolutely the loanee will have to follow some procedures to revolve his account. Usually MCO of the loanee asks to revolve the account a nd then vouchers are written and entries are made in the ledgers and then these vouchers and entries is passed by the AMO otherwise no payment or recovery is ma de. The vouchers need to written when revolving an SBS loan accounts are followi ng: y A debit recovery voucher of full outstanding amount including Principal an d Return. Whenever an account is fully paid it is practice in the bank that writ e the return collected on this account on the upper right corner of the voucher, it helps the other employees in the end to transfer it to the Income Account of bank and also to prepare weekly report on recovery. y Another debit voucher of With Holding Tax will also be filled if the amount loanee wants to again withdra w is more than 25,000 y A debit voucher of revolving fee (100 rupee for SBS) y A credit voucher will be written in the end of the day against the cheque drawn b y the loanee y A transfer voucher which is used to transfer the Return recovered on the loan to the Income Account of the bank. 95 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Actually in revolving an account the loanee pays only the interest amount, revol ving fee and W.H Tax if any. The principal is adjusted against the new disbursem ent of loan. For example: If 51,000 is total outstanding balance (50,000 princip al + 1,000 returns) and loanee wants to revolve the account, he will have to pay the total outstanding amount first and then he can withdraw again the principal of 50,000. Amount the loanee will pay Revolving fee Again disbursement of loan W.H Tax on 50,000 Balance -51,000 -100 50,000 -150 -1,250 1250 is the amount which loanee will pay only and his loan will again be revolve d to a new maturity of one year. In this way revolve benefits the two parties, o ne is loanee who has to pay a nominal amount and he obtains a new maturity date. The second one is MCO who can show that he has recovered the loan which helps h im in achieving his recovery target. Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Opening and Closing Cash In the beginning of every day the cashier opens the cash in time. The cash remai ns locked in the safe and it requires two keys two open. One key is always remai ns with the cashier and the other key remains with the manager; however manager can further gives it to someone else. In the branch where I have completed my in ternship, the AMO has the second key. Key Register: It is a register which have information about the keys of the safe. Whenever a p erson gives the key to someone else, he writes in the key register the name of p erson who has received the key and that other person signs it. Usually the keys remain with the cashier and another officer of the bank but when one of them is on leave it is required to give responsibility of keys to someone else because d uring their absence the cash of bank can t remain closed. If there is any mishap the person who has keys according to key register will be held responsible. Thu s the key register has significance matter; no one gives the key to someone else without entering it in this register. When a key is given to someone else the t ime of giving keys is also written in the register, it is precaution to make it clear that on which time of day the key was with which person. Safe Register: Whenever the cash is placed inside or remove from the safe it is recorded in the safe register. In the morning when cashier brings out cash from the safe he wri tes the date, amount and denomination in which cash he has obtained. And same in formation is required to enter when the cash is again placed in the safe in the evening. The person who gets cash from the safe or puts it also signs it. The ca sh is also written in denomination in which it is exist. Like if bank has 1 mill ion than this information is not enough the denomination in which this one milli on exist in bank is also written. Like the bank may have this amount of 1 millio n in the following denominations. 100 notes of 5,000 500,000 300 notes of 1,000 300,000 300 notes of 500 150,000 400 notes of 100 40,000 200 notes of 50 10,000 Total 1,000,000 97 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Dispatch and Diary Dispatching and receiving letter is the routine work in any bank. The letter whi ch the bank sends to others is dispatched while the letter which the bank receiv ed is called diary. The bank maintains the proper record of every document which is dispatched or received. Recommendations Implementation of Information Technology The following are the problems which I have felt during my internship which is r equired to be noticed to increase the pace of growth of the bank. Although the b ank is computerizing its operations but it is far behind other commercial banks, it needs to speed up implementation of Information Technology so that to perfor m its operations efficiently and effectively. Information technology will help b ank in finding and stopping malpractices and other irregularities and this will result in much better performance. Providing computers and software is not the o nly solution, the bank needs to train its employees so they can use this new tec hnology for the betterment of the organization. The bank has many experienced em ployees but they have no or very little know how of IT and many of them is not i nterested in learning it. So, training the new and young employees is a better o ption because they have will to learn and also they are people who will have to work for a long time with the bank. Investing in young employee is better than t raining those who are near to their retirement. Motivation of Human Capital Human capital no doubt is a precious asset for any organization, without skilled and motivated employees no organization can survive in this competitive environ ment. ZTBL has mix of experience and young staffs which provide excellence blend of required skills and enthusiasm for progress. But I have found during my inte rnship that the employee of ZTBL is not as much motivated as other bank s employ ees are. The reason behind this is the mechanism of promotion, many of the perma nent employees of the bank has not been promoted Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 since last 10 years and the same case is with the contracted workforce they have no idea that when they will be permanent. The promotion criteria like all other government institutions is based on the experience, the more older the employee is the more he has a chance to be promoted irrespective of this that how his previous performances was. But what I have heard from the employee is that they have no idea that when and how they will be promoted, there are no hard and fast rules made as it is available in other government institutions. The bank s Human Resource Department needs to focus on developing more trained and motivated employee, the efforts they are p utting in this regard is not satisfactory. However, the bank starts training eac h and every employee which is a good thing but with training the motivation in t erms of promotion, bonuses etc. are also required. Branch Infrastructure Almost all the banks in Pakistan has refurnished their branches to provide bette r services to its customers, the branches bank of today is completely different from the branches of 10 years ago. That all is started when City Bank come in Pa kistan with a new idea of modernized decorated branches. After it all the banks has adopted this concept and they build and refurnished their entire network of branches. But ZTBL is still working on the old style; the branches have not the furniture, fans, rooms etc. according to their requirements. The concept of air conditioning which has become an essential part in all other banks is a thing ab out which the bank has not even think, there are even less fans than required. I t is true that bank does not have a need to make their branches like all other b anks but it is required to provide at least the basic necessities to make the wo rking of the employee comfortable and also to facilitate its customers. 99 Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010 Conclusion ZTBL is a specialized institute which provides financing facilities to the peopl e of rural areas and in this way it is contributing its part for the development of the country. Due to a government owned organization the politicians and othe r higher authorities sometime use it to give benefits to their families and frie nds and this also effects the growth of the bank. However the bank has improved itself a lot, the profit of the year of 2008-9 and decline in Non Performing Loa ns are clear signs of improvements. The few things on which the bank has to focu s is implementation of information technology with faster pace, improving branch infrastructure and working of its human capital to make them motivated.
