INTERNSHIP REPORT

OF

Introduction :- Muslim Commercial Bank is one of the leading banks of Pakistan with a deposit base of about Rs. 280 billion and total assets of around Rs.300 billion. Incorporated in 1947, MCB soon earned the reputation of a solid and conservative financial institution managed by expatriate executives.  In 1974, MCB was nationalized along with all other private sector banks.  This led to deterioration in the quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio and service quality.  Eventually, MCB was privatized in 1991.

During the last fifteen years, the Bank has concentrated on growth through improving service quality, investment in technology and people, utilizing its extensive branch network, developing a large and stable deposit base and managing its non-performing loans via improved risk management processes.

Introduction of Banking Sector:-

Banking in its modern form and structure started in Britain when many of the Lombardy merchants came to England in the fourteenth century and settled in the parts of the city of London now called Lombard Street.

Over the period of time they discovered that large sum of the money were left in their custody for long periods; which suggested the use of cash to advance loans t other person for a fixed period of time and considerably high rate of interest. Thus began the “issue” and “deposit” banking of the modern times. Some of the enterprising goldsmiths issued “cheque books” for the attraction of their customers; and thus another step in the evolution of banking had taken place.

Executive Summary:-MCB is one of the leading banks of Pakistan with a deposit base of Rs. $ 368 million and total assets exceeding 500 million rupees. Founded in 1947, MCB soon earned reputation of a solid and conservative financial institution directed by expatriate executives. In 1974, the MCB was nationalized along with all other private sector banks.

MCB bank is doing the day and the night struggle to achieve their purposes. These control costs and increase efficiency and effectiveness.

Before closing any account, bank send letter to the account hold for informing him that his account is going to be closed. There is need an approval form higher authority to close any account.

Payment of Cheques :- The first work that was assigned to me was Scrutiny of cheques. It is considered, as the simplest work in consumer banking operations, but actually it is not that simple. The cheques that are presented for either payment or for deposit are the main points where most of the frauds occur.

There are few points to be noted while scrutinizing a cheque for payment or deposit,

1. Date of the cheque 2. Signatures of drawer   3. Signature of Presenter 4. Amount in figures and words 5. Branch stamp 6. Account number of the drawer 7. Crossing in favor of any other person

The cheques which are presented for deposit in accounts of customers for them a pay-in-slip is to be filled in and the cheque is presented along with that slip. As the cheques are taken for deposit in customer’s account, a Cheques Receipt Summary is prepared in which cheques are entered according to their category, i.e., Transfer Delivery, Clearance

Page 14

or Collection.Call Deposit Receipts are also issued to the customers especially before the holy month of Ramzan. The reason is that customers convert their savings from saving account to the PLS account. The reason for this activity is that the customers want to take out there money from the accounts in order to skip the deduction of Zakat. For this purpose, CDR’s were issued having both applicant and beneficiary the same person.CDRs are issued to the contractors favoring building departments in order to get tenders for various buildings.

Types of Accounts :- The followings are the types of Accounts,

CURRENT ACCOUNT :

The current account is the most common account and the most preferred amongst business concerns. The theoretical explanation for this would be that they can function more efficiently but since in reality there are no restrictions on any with drawl the only reason we could think of is that current account facilitates online banking which saves time (which in this ultra competitive business world the most precious resource) to a considerable extent. In case of a current account the client does not earn any interest. Current account enables the client to do cash transactions in a more efficient manner

F EATURES: A sum of Rs. 10000/= in cash as initial deposit is required for opening a current account and the same may be maintained as minimum average running credit balance. No profit is paid on credit balances held in current accounts. The bank reserves the right to allow opening of current a/c at its description. All deposits and withdrawal from a current a/c takes place only at the branch where the account is being maintained. Current a/c cannot be overdrawn, except by prior agreed agreements with the bank. The correspondence relating to current A/Cs should be addressed to manager of the branch where the account is being maintained. The account holder can draw sums from his account by means of cheque supplied to him by the bank for that particular account. Account holder should take well care of the chequebooks issued to them.

Saving Account :-

Page 15

Individuals who wish to earn profit/interest on their investment normally maintain the profit and loss sharing account but in order to earn interest the client is required to keep his/her deposits with the bank for some time. In theory there are some restrictions on withdrawal of money from a Profit and Loss Sharing account but in general banking practice there is no restriction on any with drawl from a Profit and Loss Sharing account. The interest/profit is paid half yearly.

Profit and Loss Sharing Account :- PLS saving account having a running minimum credit balance of RS.10000. The bank would be within its rights to make investment of credit balances in the PLS saving accounts in any manner at its sole discretion and to make use of the fund to the best of its judgment in the banking business under the PLS system.

Profit/Loss:-The profit/loss will be credited/debited on the basis of its net working results at the end of each half-year. Calculation of products on PLS saving A/c will be made for each calendar month on the lowest credit balance of an account between the close of business on the 6th day and the last day of the month.

Rules for PLS:-

1. Account holder can only withdraw sums from his account by means of cheques supplied to him by the bank for that particular account.

2. Post dated and stale cheques will not be paid. 3. The bank reserve to itself the rights to close any account without previous notice

any account which has not satisfactory account credit balance.4. If the account holder withdrawals the money under 7 days notice, the profit loss

earning products will be computed on the monthly minimum balance. Zakat is deducted every year on non-exempted accounts.

Saving 365 Gold :- This account is newly developed of MCB and it provides flexibility of saving account to business people. Profit on deposits will be payable on daily product basis on balance of RS. 500,000/- and above. However, if balance in the account falls below RS. 500,000/- on any day, the product will be ignored. There will be no restriction on withdrawal from the account. Zakat and withholding Tax is also applicable on the account opened under this scheme.

Page 16

1. Minimum balance is Rs.500,000/= 2. Below minimum balance, profit calculation ignored 3. Profit calculated on daily basis 4. Profit paid on annually basis 5. Zakat deducted on @ 2.5% 6. The higher the balance, higher the rate is offered. 7. Profit calculated on daily basis. 8. Profit paid into your account every month

Term Deposits :- Term deposits are fixation of certain amount of money for a specific span of time. The instrument term deposit is like a slip containing issuing bank name, a/c # to operate on computer, deal #, customer name, reference #, date of issue, amount, rate maturity date etc.

Accounts Department :- Every transaction which takes place recorded in the computer so all transactions in different departments are forwarded to account department. Since all vouchers from different departments are forwarded to accounts department so this department tallies all such transactions with current department after maintaining the ledger of each department. The branch where I worked Mr Azeem-ud-din Bukhari was performing these activities. I was not allowed to use software but I observed all the fuctions performed by him.

Following are different functions performed by this department,

1. Preparation of Financial Statements for different time span 2. Maintain all accounts of different departments 3. Calculation of profit on different schemes 4. Calculation of markup on different advances 5. Preparation Different types of reports for State Bank 6. Daily position of cash & every accounts

Page 17

7. Matching daily summaries of all departments with ledger

As swift software is used therefore all these tasks have become quite simple just it requires posting and then all tasks can be performed by giving computer commands.

Remittances :-

The need of remittance is commonly felt in commercial life particularly and in every day life general. A major function of any banking system is the transfer of funds from one client or one place to another. By providing this service to the customer the bank earns a lot of income in the form of service charges. This department deals with local currency remittance i.e. remittance from one city to another without actually carrying the currency.

MCB uses following instrument for transferring of money,

1. Demand Drafts (DD) 2. Pay Order (PO) 3. Telegraphic Transfer (TT) 4. Mail Transfer (MT)

Demand Drafts (DD ):-

DD is a written order given by the branch of the bank on behalf of the customer to other branch of the same bank to pay the certain amount to the customer. DD are issued for the particular place other than place of issuance. A drafts is a Cheque drawn by a bank on its own branch or any other branch of another bank at a different place requesting it to pay on demand a specified amount of money which is already received to the person named on it.

DD is of following two types,

1. DD payable 2. DD Paid Suspense a/c

In the first type as advice reaches for payment the immediately pay to the customer while in later as DD presented by the customer, it is paid and the suspense account is debited.

Page 20

drawn on each other within a specified area and thereby securing the payment for its clients through the clearing house. A clearing house is a general organization of the banks at a given place, Its main purpose is offsetting the cross obligation in the form of cheques. When there are many banks in the country each will receive a number of cheques drawn on other banks, deposited within for collection. A clearing house is an organization where these cheques are brought and the mutual claims of each bank on the other are offset and a settlement is made by the payment of differences. The representatives off all the banks in Pakistan attend office of the bank which is performing these duties of clearing house, on each business day at a fixed time. They deliver cheques that their bank may have negotiated and receive in exchange cheques drawn on their bank negotiated by other bank. The responsibility of smooth cooperation of the clearing function lies with the State Bank of Pakistan.The operation of clearing refers to the collection of cheques drawn on other banks. These cheques may be drawn on UBL, HBL, NBP, or any other bank of Pakistan. The respective officer collects all cheques and enter them in clearing Register. Then he affix a stamps on these cheques and sorts out cheques of different banks and prepares schedule for them. These cheques are sent to clearing house. Exchange of cheques takes place through NIFT.Further they settle their account. State Bank of Pakistan representative will work out the balances and will settle their account from their balances with State Bank of Pakistan.

Opening of letter of credit:

The letter of credit can be opened by mail or by cable. When it is opened by mail, the issuing bank sends letter of credit and to carbon copies to the importer. The importer then dispatches the letter of credit to the exporter in foreign country by mail. One carbon copy is kept for the record. The second carbon copy after signing is sent to the bank by the importer. If an importer directs the bank to open letter of credit by cable, the importer’s bank sends a cable to the corresponding bank in the foreign country with a request to notify the exporter.

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.

4. 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.

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

6. Process of development is bit slow due to its conservative approach.7. Never prefer to be a leader and prefer to be a follower of others.8. Slow improvement and acceptance of technological changes.9. More emphasis on deposit accumulation and less on their mobilization.

2. 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.

3. Employees unions have been allowed if not managed properly can affect performance.

4. 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.

5. Introduction of credit marketing by local and foreign banks is badly affecting the mobilization of the MCB’s deposits due to the non presence of such department in it.

6. Introduction and adoption of information technology as well as promotion of the computer culture by the local as well as foreign banks will definitely

Page 33

affect the services and business of the MCB.

Pest Analysis :- THE PEST ANALYSIS OF MCB INCLUDE.

POLITICAL ECONOMIC SOCIAL AND CULTURAL TECHNICAL

POLITICAL :- Employment practices are expected to change.Unions, Associations are being allowed to work effectively which can affect the performance of the company both positively or negatively. Political interference regarding policies is expected to increase as current government is in race of power gain.Due to lack of confidence on government investor is reluctant so mobilization of funds is going to decrease.

Page 34

ECONOMIC :- Inflation is very high which will decrease the demand as purchasing power is decreasing. Staff cost is increasing as basic wage rate has increased and inflation has compelled to will compel to increase salaries. Operating costs are increasing due to inflation. Interest rate is increasing so loan taking has decreased.

 Value of rupee is decreasing which is pressurizing the economy.

SOCIAL AND CULTURAL :- Lack of experts is in our country regarding management hence innovative activities are slow and conventional methods are adopted.

Cultural strain to savings is the reason due to which investment remains low . Declining work ethics is also our problem which is mainly due to poverty, lack of training. Inadequate Accountability ,lack of good governance and lack of good infrastructure helps creditor to cheat and heavy bad debts occur. Same situation is hoped to prevail.Inadequate Empowerment is also a usual problem in our organization as every person want to get more power hence there is less delegation of authority and decision making.

TECHNICAL :- MCB has computerized its most of the branches but still some are manual there is need to computerized otherwise customers will get bad image.

Now a days computerized system is used by banks whis is very effective. But MCB will have to improve its computerized technology as some fake transactions occur by ATM.

Shortage of electricity is a big problem,

Employees of each organization need IT training and organization has this trend.

Page 35

CONCLUSION:-During the internship I worked in many departments. I feel that there is lack of staff, due to this reason an each worker has to do a lot of works and responsibilities.

I judge that there was lack of trained people and motivation. So the efficiency and effectiveness are affected. It seems low advertisement Of MCB BANK. Therefore after writing internship report on MCB i have reached at this point that MCB worth in marked is good as compare to other bank.

MCB should continue with the same spirit to serve the Pakistani citizens in the country and all over the world. The financial position of the bank is very strong, as compared to some of the nationalized banks and even some of the private banks.

MCB has tried to provide the best services and safety to the public by introducing the Rupees Travelers Cheques and by having the largest network of Automated Teller Machines.

After writing internship report of MCB and Financial ratio analysis groups the ratios into categories which tell us about different facets of a company’s finances and operations. An overview of some of the categories of ratios is given below.

LIQUIDITY RATIOS measure a firm’s ability to meet its current obligations.

PROFITABILITY RATIOS measure the earning ability of a firm.

Page 36

ACTIVITY RATIOS measure a firm’s ability to convert different accounts within their Balance sheets into cash or sales.

MARKET RATIOS are commonly used by the investors to assess the performance of a business as an investment and also the cost of issuing stock.

LEVERAGE RATIOS which show the extent that debt is used in a company’s capital structure.

As we can see that bank current ratio is not increasing in 2010 and quick ratio is decreasing in 2010 as compared to other years. Working capital is negative. This is not a good sign. Earnings have decrease and interest expenses have decrease. Debt has decrease Net profit and operating income margin have increase in 2008 Return on Operating Assets is satisfactory. the net sales have increase profit.

Recommendations and Suggestion :- From the quantum of the profit and its financial data it can easily judged the after privatization Muslim Commercial Bank is performing well. Its deposits are growing day-by-day and so its profitability. The controlling body is responsible for the productive performance of the bank. Following are my observations and suggestion to improve the efficiency for the development of the bank.

INCREASE IN PROFITS :

People can be motivated to save money by offering the deposit through various investment schemes. The rate of profit should increase 1% or 2 % it would be profitable step for bank.

INCREASE SALARIES :

MCB is making good profits but giving less pay to their employees as compared to their competitors. So their salaries should be increased.

Change The Nature Of Work :

Most of the bank employees are sticking to one seat only with the result that they become master of one particular job and loose their grip on other banking operation. In my

Page 37

opinion all the employees should have regular job experience all out-look towards banking. Their promotion policy should be adjusted accordingly.

Training :

Every year some of the employees should be sent for training to other countries and employees from other branches should be brought here. Some more reading material should be provided the purpose should be to educate the employees with the advance studies in their field. The employee should be provided the opportunities to attend and participate in seminars and lectures on banking.

Incentive To Employees :

Bank should give some more incentive to its employees in order to remove the conflict between lower and higher officers and should try to improve the working condition of the bank. Such system should be designed that every employee who has some problems with his officers can communicate to the higher management and some steps must be taken to improve that.

Performance And Reward :

Smart, educated, skilled, well spoken and well versed staff personals should be rewarded and appreciated, while on the other hand lazy, lethargic, heard, rough-dealers and ill mannered must be warned and penalized but this all should be on merit and considering the policy of honesty is the best policy and not due to some personal liking, disliking prejudice and patrimonial. It is therefore suggested certain schemes and checks may be introduced in banks to increase efficiency through reward and punishment system.

Over Employed :

During my internship period I felt that at some place the Muslim Commercial Bank Limited is over employed which is causing in expenditure. I think that the best way out for this problem is to pen new branches.

Promotion And Advertising :

Bank must let potential customers 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.

More Focus on Salary Accounts :

Page 38

A logic leads to promotional campaign through employers who are customers of the 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 employer’s premises.

Internship Facilities :

The period of internship should be divided in to the number of department of the Muslim Commercial Bank Ltd. The internee should be given timetable mentioning the number of days he has to work at different places in the bank. On the first 4 days in each department internee should be given a lecture the officer of the department concerned about working of the department.

What Were My Duties and What I Learned :- In first weak I assisted Mr Mahboob in Scrutiny of cheques. It is considered, as the simplest work in consumer banking operations, but actually it is not that simple. The cheques that are presented for either payment or for deposit are the main points where most of the frauds occur.I learned whole process of account opening of individuals practically. I remained involved very much in practical activities of account opening as Miss Uzma whose duty was account opening would remain very busy as number of customers coming for account opening and getting information was high. So I assisted her.I haven’t issued any cheque book personally, but the procedure is very simple for issuance. I observed the process.I filled many applications form for remittances. I prepared remittance slips and learned to apply tests on TT and MT.I processed the Inward cheques for collection and clearance, and have also prepared vouchers.Every transaction which takes place recorded in the computer so all transactions in different departments are forwarded to account department. The branch where I worked Mr Azeem-ud-din Bukhari was performing these activities. I was not allowed to use

Page 39

software but I observed all the fuctions performed by him.Miss Maria was credit officer who explained me the procedure of advances. Mostly work is done through computer. I was not able to perform activities by myself as access to software is not allowed. I observed how the application is processed. I think it sufficient to know the procedure.In cash department I observed the process of deposits, filled deposit slips, and learned how the cash registers are maintained. In this department I did little work practically as it was not allowed.During my internship I dealt with many customers and employees, this was a great experience to learn,

How to deal with customers How to work under pressure i.e. in rush hours. How to manage an office. My communication skills were improved. I observed some signs of mismanagement which I think can be removed if branch

manager take more responsibility. I observed the practical application of many accounting concepts.
