OVERVIEW OF BANKING IN PAKISTAN


History of Banking
The word 'Bank' is said to have been derived from the words Bancus or Banque or Bank. This history of banking is traced to as early as 2000 B.C. The priests in Greece used to keep money and valuables of the people in temples. These priests thus acted as financial agents. The origin of banking is also traced to early goldsmiths. They used to keep strong safes for storing the money and valuables of the people. The persons who had surplus money found it safe and convenient of deposit their valuables with them. The first stage in the development of modern banking, thus, was the accepting of deposits of cash from those persons who had surplus money with them.

The goldsmiths used to issue receipts for the money deposited with them. These receipts began to pass from hand to hand in settlement of transactions because people had confidence in the integrity and solvency of goldsmiths. When it was found that these receipts were fully accepted in payment of debts; then the receipts were drawn in such a way that it entitled any holder to claim the specified amount of money from goldsmiths. A depositor who is to make the payments may now get the money in cash from goldsmiths or pay over the receipt to the creditor. These receipts were the earlier bank notes. The second stage in the development of banking thus was the issue of bank notes.

The goldsmiths soon discovered that all the people who had deposited money with them do not come to withdraw their funds in cash. They found that only a few persons presented the

Muslim Commercial Bank

receipts for encashment during a given period of time. They also found that most of the money deposited with them was lying idle. At the same time; they found that they were being constantly requested for loan on good security. They thought it profitable to lend at least some of the money deposited with them to the needy persons. This proved quite a profitable business for the_ goldsmiths. They instead of charging safe keeping charges from the depositors began to give them interest on the money deposited with them. This was the third stage in the development of banking.

Commercial Banking In Pakistan


The interesting point which I observed during the span of mine internship was the historical background of Banking & Financial sector which is the one in which great improvement and growth is observed since the formation of Pakistan. For studying the growth of this sector we can divide it into three stages, which are as follows: a) Pre-Nationalization Era b) Nationalization Era c) Post Nationalization Era

A) PRE NATIONALIZATION PERIOD:


There were only two Muslim banks in Indo Pak before partition, they were; Habib Bank Ltd. (estd. in 1941 at Bombay) & Australia Bank Ltd. (estd. In 1944 at Lahore). All other banks, at that time, were either owned by Hindus or Foreigners.

At the time of partition there were 631 bank branches in area which came under Pakistani control. But due to blood shed and violence at large scale, mostly branches were closed and the disparity can be assessed from the fact that on July 1948 there were 195 branches with deposits of Rs.88 crore (880 million) only. Also a factor lagging in Pakistani industry was a central bank of its own, by that time Reserve Bank of India was acting as central bank for both countries and same currency notes were used in both territories. But Reserve Bank of India was biased and Set down Pakistan on many occasions such as the issue of funds transfer etc.

Muslim Commercial Bank

In this period drastic steps were taken in government sector for the improvement of overall position. The private sector also responded to these changes and some very positive changes were observed. Some of the steps taken by the government in this regard were as under: 1) 2) Inauguration of State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on 1st July, 1948. Setting up of National Bank of Pakistan in November, 1949 to control the 'jute'

export in East Pakistan and to act as agent of SBP. 3) 4) 5) a) b) c) d) Larger powers were given to SBP through SBP Act (1956) for controlling purposes. Banking Companies Ordinance 1962 for protection and guidance to banks. Establishment of specialized banks, such as ADBP (1952); HBFC (Nov, 1952); P1CIC (Oct, 1957) IDBP (Aug. 1961); NDFC (Jan, 1973).

These were the steps, which built a strong banking sector in Pakistan. This is also obvious from the facts that by 1973 there were almost 10 foreign banks were working in Pakistan and all over deposit position was around Rs.2300 crore (23,000 million). A bird eye view of 5 top banks was as given below:

DEPOSITS 6,160 5,660 5,670 1,640 570

B) NATIONALIZATION PERIOD
On January 01, 1974 all Pakistani banks were nationalized through Nationalization Act 1974. Under this law all Pakistani banks became a public property. All small banks were merged in bigger banks to create 5 major Pakistani banks Pakistani banks. These banks were to control by Pakistan Banking Council. There are still controversies about this act of government as whether it contributed in success of failure of banks. However the major changes after nationalization were as follows: Working of banks was extended to under developed areas. Market expansion for credit and deposits. Decrease in service level of bank officers. Decrease in profitability as well.

However the effect of expansion was enormous and it can also be depicted with the help of table 2 which shows the deposit & branch positions of different nationalized banks. 5

C)

POST NATIONALIZATION ERA

In 1990 the government decided to denationalize all the nationalized institutes. Some was also suggested in banking sector. For this purpose, amendments were made to Nationalization Act 1974 and two nationalized banks were privatized. Along with this a permission to open banks in private sector was also granted. The rules regarding establishment of new banks and for incoming foreign banks were also Relaxed. The-three privatized banks are; a) b) c) MCB taken up by a private group in April, 1991 ABL taken up by its own employees in September, 1991.1 UBL taken up by UAE party in 2002.

After these changes a large number of private and foreign banks started their operations in Pakistan and the present status can be seen from the following figures:

SLOGAN OF THE BANK


GOOD BANKING GETTING BETTER BANKING

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND:
Now let us discuss the historical background of Muslim Commercial Bank Limited. Before separation of Indo Pak, the need for more Muslim banks was felt. And Muslims having

Muslim Commercial Bank

strong financial capacity were thinking to invest in this sector as well. This was the idea which paved the way for setting up Muslim Commercial Bank Ltd known as MCB. This was the third Muslim bank in the subcontinent.

HISTORY
This bank was incorporated under companies act 1913 on 9th July 1947 (just before partition) at Calcutta. But due to changing scenario of the region, the certificate of incorporation was issued on 17th August, 1948 with a delay of almost 1 year; the certificate was issued at Chitagong. The first Head office of the company was established at Dacca and Mr. G.M. Adamjee was appointed its first chairman. It was incorporated with an authorized capital of Rs. 15 million.

After some time the registered office of the company was shifted to Karachi on August 23rd, 1956 through a special resolution, now recently the Head office of MCB has been transferred to Islamabad in July, 1999 and now Head office is termed as Principle Office.

This institute was nationalized with other on January 1st, 1974. At that time it had 506 branches and deposits amounting to Rs. 1,640 million. Although. MCB has a reputation of a conservative bank but nationalization also left its effects on this institute as well and by end of year 1991 in which it was privatized the total number of branches were 1.287 and deposits amounting to as high as Rs. 35,029 million.

When privatization policy was announced in 1990, MCB was the first to be privatized upon 9

Muslim Commercial Bank

recommendations of World Bank and IMF. The reason for this choice was the better profitability condition of the organization and less risky credit portfolio which made'' it a good choice for investors. On April 8th, 1991, the management control was handed over to National Group (the highest bidders). Initially only 26% of shares were sold to private sector at Rs. 56 per share.

DEVELOPMENTS
After privatization, the growth in every department of the bank has been observed. Following are some key developments: 1) 2) 3) 4) Pakistan. 5) Extended use of information technology which is evident from the fact that there Launching of different deposit schemes to increase saving level. Increased participation on foreign trade. Betterment of branches and staff service level. Introduction of Rupee Traveler Cheques & Photo Credit Card for the first time in

Muslim Commercial Bank

The general division in a branch is as follows: 1) 2) 3) Cash department Deposit department Advances & credit department

Technology department (new addition in order to cop with the growing needs of day to day technology requirements)

Cash Department
The following books are maintained in the Cash Department: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Receiving Cash Book Paying Cash Book Token Book Scroll Book Cash Balance Book

When cash is received in counter, it is entered in the Scroll Book and Receiving Cashier Book. At the close of the day, these are balanced with each other.

Muslim Commercial Bank

the Token Book and Paying Cashier Book are balanced. The consolidated figure of receipt and payment of cash is entered in the cash balance book and drawn closing balance of cash. Opening Balance + Receipts - Payments = closing Balance.

Deposit Department
Bank deals in money and they are merely mobilizing funds within the economy. They borrow from one person and lend to another, the difference between the rate of borrowing lending forms their spread or gross profit. Therefore we can rightly state that deposits are the blood of the bank which causes the body of an institution to get to work. These deposits are liability of the bank so from point of view of bank we can refer to them as liabilities.

The total deposits of MCB are growing since its inauguration but after privatization there is a sharp incline in over all deposits of the bank. The increase in deposits is also a cause of increase on total number of accounts; bank has progressed in both aspects.

TYPES OF DEPOSITS
Deposits can be segregated on two bases, one is the duration in which there funds are expected to be with the bank and second is the cost of getting these funds. So divide deposits in two classes according to duration of deposits i.e. 1) 2) Time deposits / liabilities Demand deposits / liabilities

18

Muslim Commercial Bank

And on the basis of the cost to acquire these funds, a deposit can be classified as any one of following four; high Cost; Medium Cost, Low Cost, No Cost.

Banks has different kinds of deposit schemes in order to induce deposits. These schemes are a mixture of the above mentioned two types of deposits with an addition of different services and requirements such as minimum balance' requirement, mode of transaction, basis for calculation of profit, deductions, additional benefits, eligibility for different groups.

In the similar fashion, MCB has a large variety of deposit schemes and some of them are as follows:

CURRENT A/C:
In this type of accounts the client is allowed to deposit or withdraw money as and when he likes. He may, thus, deposits or withdraws money several times in a day if he likes. There is also no restriction of amount to be deposited or withdrawn. However, there is requirement of minimum balance maintenance of Rs. 1000/-. Usually this type of account is opened by the businessmen. No profit is paid by the bank and no service charges are deducted by the bank on current deposits account. These types of deposits are also exempt from compulsory deduction of Zakat.

PLS SAVING BANK A/C :


This type of account is for those persons who want to make small savings'. This type of account is opened with a minimum deposit of Rs. 1000/-. Under this scheme deposits can be

19

Muslim Commercial Bank

made only up to a-costing amount and withdrawals are allowed twice a week or 8 times a month. If a big amount is required a seven days notice is required before the withdrawal. The profit is paid on these accounts on the minimum balance during a month for the whole of that month. Zakat & other withholding taxes are deducted as per rules of the government.

HAJJ MUBARIK SCHEME:


This is also very closely related with Khanum Bachat scheme. This was designed to help the persons who are willing to offer Hajj but are unable to save required funds. In this deposit schemes, 2 or 3 years agreement is entered with a customer. During this time he keeps on depositing monthly deposits and his account is charged with the accumulated profits calculated on 6 monthly basis. The scheme is so designed that total amount to be received at the end of this scheme comes equal to the anticipated cost of offering Hajj at the end of tenor. Zakat & withholding tax are deducted at the time of payment.

SPECIAL NOTICE DEPOSITS:


Under this deposit scheme, a deposit is received from the depositor under the condition that he will intimate the bank before a certain period in case of withdrawals. There are two types of SNDs, they are 7 days and 30 days notice deposits. The profit is paid on these deposits but it is nearly equivalent to saving account rate.

FUNCTIONS
This was a brief review of different types of deposit schemes. The Deposit Department handles the account opening, profit payment and accounting of all types of deposit schemes.

On repayment of loan, the gold or ornaments held as security for it, together with the demand promissory note duly discharged is returned to the borrower and his receipt for the gold ornament taken in the demand loan ledger. This receipts states that he ornaments returned are complete and in order. Part delivery of ornaments is given against part payment of a loan but care is taken that the ornaments still in banks possession fully covers the balance of the loan outstanding. The interest gold loan is to be applied with quarterly.

REQUIREMENT FOR LOAN:


For granting loan to any party or individual, the bank checks following particulars of the client: 1) 2) Credibility Feasibility Report

29

Muslim Commercial Bank

securities of goods or merchandize as follows:

ADVANCES AGAINST PLEDGE STOCK IN TRADE OR PRODUCTS

Financial Analysis of MCB


IMPORTANCE Analysis is vital to fathom, weigh and evaluate the operating performance of the firm. Another reason that depicts the importance of ratio is that investors make their investment decision in certain firm based on these ratios. But few points to remember before starting the computation process: Bank is service sector hence it doesnt deal in with any kind of physical good, therefore certain ratio such as inventory turnover will not be discussed at all.

The key points to note with the bank are: There are substantial non-cash charges in the profit and loss statement mainly provision for loans losses. It is generally difficult to get a definitive fix on actual cash loan losses due to lack of disclosure. Banks are in the business of borrowing money and on lending it at higher interest rates. Debt is therefore not only a form of financing bit more importantly a key input into its production process. Now keeping in view these differences it is crucial to make following adjustment to get a better look of data: Accounting loss provisions are added back in the calculation of cash profits but an estimate of the economic or cash loan losses is deducted (proxied by estimated write-offs). In the case of MCB, actual write-offs have historically been disclosed since.

46

Muslim Commercial Bank

Interest is deducted in the calculation of cash profits.

WHY FINANCIAL ANALYSIS Financial analysis of the organization involves the evaluation of the financial performance as depicted in the financial statements of the organization. The MCB provides this information in the shape of its annual report for every financial year containing financial as well as nonfinancial information.

To improve the quality of decision making, proper analysis of these statements helps a lot. Financial statements analysis helps in determining the financial conditions at any particular point in time and effectiveness of operations of a firm during a specific period.

The various stakeholders of business are all interested in the analysis of financial statements. But the focus of interest of all is not the same. Financial statements are prepared primarily for decision-making. They play a dominant role in setting the framework of managerial decisions. But the information in the financial statements is not an end in itself as no meaningful conclusions can be drawn from these statements alone. However the information provided in the financial statements is of immense use in making decisions through analysis and interpretation of financial statements.

Financial statement analysis is the process of identifying of financial strengths and weaknesses of the firm by properly establishing relationship between the items of the balance sheet and the profit and loss account. 47

Figure# 5.1 balance sheet analyses Asset Side During the span of 2005, 2006 and 2007 years, we see that the overall assets of the bank increased to 132% in 2007 that is higher than last year. As we can see in Graph 5.1 shows that lending to financial institution increased to 192%, through that bank gets a higher rate of return and due to that cash account increase to 136.22% as that was 92% in 2006. That trend of cash shows that the bank has more cash to invest in a major project to get a high profit in the future.

The increase in total asset is due to the major change in the lending to financial institution. 49

According to the figure from balance sheet, the advances are 131% and 144% in 2006 and 2007 respectively, which shows the favorable trend that bank has enough cash for advances. And in 2007 investment decreased 94% as it was in 2006 is 103% that could be the cause of government bond policy or high inflation.

Graphs 5.2 Advances & Investments And one reason in decrease in investment is that bank invests money in different segment like Federal government securities, it includes T bills, Pakistan investment bond, Govt compensation bond, Euro bond and Sukuk bond, in 2007 bank highly decrease their investment and invest in the ordinary shares of listed and non-listed companies. So due to that overall investment changed to downward.

Liability Side As graph 5.3 is showing that the liability side of the bank increasing in every aspect but they have enough resources like assets to maintain the liabilities. The increasing in deposit and other account shows that customers of MCB are increasing and they are depositing their money in MCB, so due to that bank is liable to pay a money back to as per customers willingness, and MCB is taking an advantage of that deposits, bank invest it to some earnable activity. Bank earns high profit from investment and gives some margin from profit to their customers.

Graphs 5.3 Liabilities Banks payable is decreasing to 93% in 2007 as 112% in 2006, that span shows that bank is paying their current liability in a very effective way. But on the other hand their other liabilities are increasing; it can be the due to purchase of fixed asset because banks fixed assets also increased to 113% in 2007 as in 2006 were 102%. So their other liabilities also increased to 171% in 2007 as 125% in 2006.

52

All the facts and figures show that their financial performance is better because their current asset ratio and asset turnover ratio also increased. Shareholders equity The shareholder equity is 199% and 387% in 2006 and 2007 respectively. The increase in equity is just because of the issue of share capital to general public. MCB issued shares rather than debt. In case of issue of debt the bank is liable to pay interest on monthly or annually basis, so bank will have decided that issue of share capital could be the beneficial for us, due to that their overall performance is attractive and highly appreciative.

As graph 5.5 showing that the trend of the income is going up with highly efficiency, the mark up interest income is 283% in 2007 and 195% in 2006 which means that the income of mark up interest increasing due to the increase in the deposits the customers are attracting to deposit their savings in Muslim Commercial Bank, as on the other side, if we see the balance sheet that will prove that the deposits increased during the 2007, that deposit invested to the profitable activity.

The bank or any service organization do not depend on the mark up interest income because that is not only the source of income other things are also their like non mark up interest income etc.

If we see the figure 5.2 income statement that is showing the positive trend during the span of three years because their management working well. Profit before taxation is favorable because they controlled the other charges of bank that is decreased to 159% in 2007 as that 56

was 427% in 2006, and profit available for appropriation is 646% and 345% in 2007 and 2006 respectively.

But one aspect of income statement that shows the negative thing that is increased in bad debts of the bank that is 535% in 2007 as it was 13% in 2006. That is the huge increment in the bad debts that is due to the increase in the advances.

This all situation is some what favorable because the Non-M.up expenses are still below but it is same during the two years that is 88% but it should control because NonM.up income is decreasing but expenses are not, if this trend is going as it is then it will create a trouble for the management in the future.

Graph 5.9 showing that banks long term position is getting better during the span of last three tears, debt to equity ratio is decreasing with highly percentage that is favorable for the future because its position is not well in 2007 that is 844% higher than equity and last years were higher. Because bank depends on the loans from other institutes and did not raise capital from the equity. And now when bank has enough financing to meet the requirement then bank starts to pay the borrowing from other institutes, due to that its debt to equity ratio increased.

There is a slightly improvement in the debt to total asset that is 88% in 2007 as it was in 2006 is 92%. That is due to high borrowing and bank purchased their asset from the borrowing rather than its equity.

SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTH
MCB is the first Pakistani privatized bank and because of its quality management, marketing, innovation in products and services. Owing to all such factors they have established a good reputation in the banking market. The name of MCB makes you recall the highly cooperative and professional individuals ready to serve you with maximum zeal and zest.

MCB have faster banking services that are making it more prominent in the banking industry especially in operations and Foreign exchange. The customer prefers this bank not only because of its faster speedy service rather due to reasonable service charges.

MCB in Pakistan is the also in the list of highly automated banks like Emirates because of its modern style of banking through fully computerized control and twenty four hour banking.

The joining of experienced people, advanced management, advance setup and facilities gave MCB an edge over its competitors.

73

WEAKNESSES
The majority of people are not well aware about the products of MCB. Therefore it should advertise extensively especially RTC and Master Cards. A behavior has been noted that bank tries to feel at ease with good looking, rich and educated people and the poor looking customers feel some bit strange in the environment of the bank. The bank employees should try to accommodate behaviorally all type of customers. In MCB there is lack of specialized skill because of job rotation policy of human resource department. The bank should concentrate upon increasing its abilities on individual service basis.

Mismanagement of time is another big mistake in MCB branches, the bank official time of closing is 5:30pm but due mismanagent of time allocation and work the staff is normally on their seats till 7:00 or 8:00 clock.

OPPORTUNITIES
As on December 31, 1998, sixty-eight scheduled banks with 9,106 branches are operating in Pakistan. As on this date, total population of Pakistan is 140.03 million. Total number of personal accounts with all scheduled banks as on December 31,1997, are 28.98 million. If we consider the population statistics of working age group as on December 31,1997, it stands to the figure of 96.64 million. Thus we can say those 28% of working age people of Pakistan are having accounts with banks while 72% are unbanked.

74

The need of privatization has made people to switch to banks to satisfy their needs of lending and borrowing. This not only increases the deposits but also the credit business.

THREATS
Change in government policies have affected the banking business. Still banks have to wait to get permission of state bank. The freezing of foreign currency accounts is a vital example of letting people not to trust on banks.

The Competition has become severe by the entrants of so many banks, So to exist one will have to prove himself in its services through excellent management and will have to satisfy its shareholders. Otherwise he will be out the market.

The decrease purchasing power of consumer in the current economic situation of the country affecting the business activity speed too much and the result is the low investment from the investors in new projects can create problem for the bank because it is working a lot in trade.

75

LEARNING AT MCB My Job Description in MCB


In the Muslim Commercial Bank Ltd. I really enjoyed working with the staff of Ghala Mandi branch, Jhang and having a wish to be employee of MCB. It was almost impossible to work in the entire Ghala Mandi branch, Jhang departments within that limited time. But on my request, the staff of the branch provided me the opportunity to work in the different departments for the sake of practical knowledge. I feel highly indebted to work in the Ghala Mandi branch, Jhang on the request of the manager of that branch Bashir Ahmad shahbaz, because I learnt a lot in that branch.

During my internship training in the MCB as I early mentioned that I have worked in different departments & seats and learnt the followings.

UTILITY BILLS COLLECTION Muslim Commercial Bank Ltd. collects utility bills on behalf of WAPDA, Sui Gas Companies, and Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation Limited by putting the stamp on the utility bills Paid, Date of payment, Signature of the officer receiving the utility bills. After receiving utility bills a list is made on the form which is called Bills scroll form. One copy of the scroll is with the bank for evidence whereas the original copy with the receipt of the bills is sent to the billing department of the respective corporation. The bank charge commission on the bills.

76

OPENING NEW ACCOUNT BASICS


During the span of mine internship in MCB I learned and observed a lot of about the opening of an account. Basically I think that the opening of an account is the establishment of a contractual relationship between the banker and the customer. By opening an account at a bank a person becomes a customer of a bank. Further I am going to express the basic requirements and steps involved in the opening of an account.

INVESTIGATION
Before opening an account MCB as like the other banks in Pakistan ascertain whether or not the person who is going to open the account is a desirable customer or not. Then MCB determine the prospective customers integrity, respectability, occupation and the nature of business by the introductory references given at the time of account opening. Negligence in this informal preliminary investigation may result in serious consequences not only for the banker concerned directly but also for other bankers and the general public who may be affected indirectly. In Ladbroke & Co. V Todd (1914), the banker did not obtain introduction at the time of opening the account, and it was construed a negligence within Section 82 of the Bills of Exchange Act 1882.

In order to further strengthen and streamline this process, the Federal Ombudsman of Pakistan, vide his ruling on complaint No. II/31/5186, has directed the banks to retain with the account opening form a Photostat copy each of the National Identity Cards of the person desiring to open an account as well as that of the introducer. As per these directions, the concerned Branch Managers are required to obtain the original National Identity Cards along

77

with their Photostat copies and then return the original after attesting the authenticity of the retained copy.

HOW TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT (IN GENERAL)


Before opening an account in MCB I observed that the following points must be considered in this regard. 1. 2. Another account holder of the bank should properly introduce the new customer. The account holder should sign the account opening form in the presence of bank

officer and the signature is duly verified. 3. 4. A copy of identity Card is required by Bank. Against submission of the Banks prescribed application form, duly introduced in

the manner provided and on supplying such document, as may be required and account may be opened. The Bank reserves to itself the right to refuse to open and account without assigning any reason. 5. Each account shall be allotted a distinct number that is to be quoted in all

correspondence with the bank relation to the account. 6. Minimum amount to open an account is required regarding the nature of account.

PROCEDURE TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT


According to my practice in MCB, when a customer wants to open an account, the bank officer gives him an application form. All information, which is necessary to be known by the bank, are requirements of the application form. Form also requires the essential documents to be attached by the customer.

78

Basically following information is required to open an account with MCB 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. Title of Account Full Name of Applicant Occupation Address Telephone No. Currency of account Nature of Business Introducers Name, Address & Signatures Special instruction regarding the account Initial Amount of the Deposit Signature of the applicant

PROCEDURE TO HONOUR A CHEQUE


During my internship training in the Muslim Commercial Bank Limited, I observed and found Cheques are received for the following purposes. i) ii) iii) For Cash payments For transfer(from one account to another account) For Clearing

I)

FOR CASH PAYMENTS

80

Note: Payment is also made when cheques of same branch account is presented for transfer to other account in same ranch along with cheque for payment.

CHEQUE FOR TRANSFER


When cheques are presented to be sent for collection and drawn on bank situated within the city then there are three stamps to be put on face as well as on back of cheque. a) b) c) Crossing Stamp (face). Transfer Stamp (face). Bank Manager Stamp (back). Only in MCB branches.

CHEQUES FOR CLEARING:


There are two stamps put on each cheque, sent for clearing: a) b) Crossing Stamp. Manager Stamp.

CHEQUES IN COLLECTION:
When cheques received in clearing are intra city then these are controlled under CC. First of all, these cheques are recorded in day book then allotted number and then serial number. Then a Performa is prepared in which Bank on whom was drawn, cheque number, amount, beneficiary name are recorded. After completing that Performa cheque is posted along with Performa. 81

Clearing is sent after entering in register. In clearing register future date and day is putted. Cheques and vouchers are then separated and Cheques are sent for clearing.

ISSUANCE OF CHEQUE BOOK


During my period of internship in MCB i observed that when a account is opened then a cheque is issued to the customer for drawing his money at per rules. Following procedure is adopting for the issuance of cheque.

When a customer opens an account with the bank, he is provided with cheque book for withdrawals from account. However, the first cheque book is given to the customer only when all the required documents are checked. A cheque book contains ten, twenty five, fifty or hundred leaves. The cheque book also carries a requisition slip for the issuance of the new cheque book. This slip is duly filled and singed by the customer. The signature of the customer is verified by the bank and new cheque book is issued to the customer and serial numbers of the cheque are duly entered in the book of the bank. Along with the signature, person should also write his full name & address.

82

Usually only one cheque book is issued at a time, however big concerns who need a number of cheque books at a time, may ask the bank to stock as number of cheque books in their name and to point their name on these cheque books.

Bank debits the clients account for excise duty of Rs.2.50/- per cheque and keeps the cheque book ready for the customer, as on his advice.

The officer keeps and maintains the cheque book register Cheque book inventory and cheque books issued are recorded in this register. The account number for which the cheque book is issued and the number of leaves are also recorded in this register when the cheque book issued an entry is passed in the cheque book issue register.

RUPEE TRAVELLER CHEQUES: RTCS


When RTCs are to be issued payment is received in cash or by cheque, tax @0.03% is charged id National Tax number is nor available. RTCs are issued in consecutive number of face value of

Rs.1000 Rs.5000 Rs.10000 Rs.50000 Rs.100000

Specimen signatures of buyer are taken and clearing slip is in four pages. One is sent to Head office, one to RTC division, one for bank record and one for client.

83

If client wants immediate payment of RTCs then he will bring RTCs with two signatures, one copy of deal and ID card copy. Payment is made. RTCs can be endorsed to other party. Once receiving party will pay the RTCs along with credit vouchers in their relevant account with Bank. Payment will be credited to account of paying party.

IMPACT OF INTERNSHIP ON MY CAREER


I took my internship as simulation of my future jobs. From my internship I focused on those points which can create problems for in future. I can now easily understand which situation requires what solution. Now I have the work knowledge of AM and Managers that is how they deal with their customers and employees. Therefore I can say that I can reach at top management level easily.

RECOMMENDATIONS

84

Bank must let potential c

ustomers know that all attractions for banking exist. This

is done by advertising on television and obtaining press coverage, in conjunction with direct mail, window displays, leaflet in branches and in appropriate other locations (such as hotels, shops, etc.) and including leaflets in statement of accounts sent to existing customers in the hope that they will tell potential customers about the services provided by our bank. Financially unsophisticated people might feel bank accounts, cheque books, credit cards, etc. are difficult to understand and to keep control thereof. Some personal sector customers prefer not to come to branch. They increasingly want to deal with the bank in other ways, such as home banking or use of Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), which need to be at the branch or some important shopping plazas. It is widely known that there is a substantial Black Economy in Pakistan, Where people earn income that is undisclosed to the revenues authorities. Payments for goods and services in the black economy are necessarily in cash, because transactions by cheques are more likely to be exposed to the revenue authorities. Some people will therefore avoid bank accounts to preserve secrecy of earnings. One way to retain the personal sector customers is to offer a wide range of services such as tax advice, free life insurance equivalent to amount deposited, shares portfolio management, fund management facility, etc., complimentary to the core services. Banks must have a slightly different mix of services. Banks must have a slightly different mix of services and mean of providing these such that customers can choose the mix that suits them best. Arguably, there has been a little encouragement from banks to persuade people to open a bank account. Opening hours are restricted, and there is a commonly held belief that banks operate for their convenience and not for the convenience of the customers.

banks and their employees are paid in cash. Such business accounts should be encouraged to open the accounts of their employees with the banks. It might be worth offering free banking for a specific period to new accounts or simply publicizing the services available by means of posters at the employers premises. It might be possible to attract another type of personal customers through business accounts, namely directors and denier employees, etc. Again an incentive package could be put together. The banks may choose to make its existing products distinctive or to introduce new products. It is often easier to benefit from adverse changes made by other banks than to attract customers by innovations. A short term promotional technique is to offer price incentives, for example, low interest rates on advances or limited issue high profit bearing term deposits. Longer term, a Loss Leader may be offered. For example, profit bearing current accounts are not very lucrative but any bank can not afford not to offer these. The reduced profits can be augmented by profits made on other products. It is also possible to attract/retain personal customers by investment in new technology like ATMs and Telephone Banking facilities, which made the services quicker, easier, cheaper and more flexible.
