Chapter # 2

Role of Sector and Organization

INTRODUCTION:
This chapter will summarize that whats the current situation of the banking sector in Pakistan. What elaborate the importance of MCB in the banking sector of Pakistan? This chapter will explore the role of MCB in the economic & social development of Pakistan. Moreover this will also tells you about the functions thats the organization is performing and about the internship office.

Overall respective sectors in Pakistan:


Banking is one of the most sensitive businesses all over the world. Banks play very important role in the economy of a country and Pakistan is no exemption. Banks are custodian to the assets of the general masses. The banking sector plays a significant role in a contemporary world of money and economy. It influences and facilitates many different but integrated economic activities like resources mobilization, poverty elimination, production and distribution of public finance.

HISTORY OF BANKING IN PAKISTAN:


At the time of independence, commercial banking facilities were provided fairly well here. There were 487 offices of schedule banks in the territories now constituting Pakistan. An Expert committee was appointed. The committee recommended that the reserves bank of India should continue their function in Pakistan until 30 September. 1948, and Pakistan would take over the management of public debt and exchange control from reserve bank of India on April 1948 and that Indian notes would continue to be legal tender in Pakistan until 30 September 1948. Moreover the banks including those

13

Internship Report having their registered office in Pakistan transferred them to India in order to bring a collapse of a new state. By 30 June 1948 the number of the offices of scheduled banks in Pakistan declined from 487 to only 195.In order to make necessary arrangement for the assumption of control and expert committee was appointed to recommend necessary steps, including the required legislation to establish a central bank for Pakistan. The governor-general of Pakistan Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah inaugurated the State Bank of Pakistan order was promulgated on May 12, 1948. The first Pakistani notes were issued in October 1948 in the State Bank of Pakistan withdrew the reserves Bank of India notes of the value of Rs. 125.02 crores with the help the Pakistan notes. On 1st January, 1947 all Pakistani banks were nationalized through Nationalization Act 1974. Under this law all Pakistani Banks become a pubic property. All small banks were merged in bigger banks to create five major Pakistani banks. These banks were to control by Pakistani Banking Council. There are still controversies about this act of Govt. 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. In 1990 the govt. decided to denationalize all the nationalized institutions. Same 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 two privatized banks are: MCB taken up by a private group in April, 1991 & ABL taken up by its own employees in September, 1991. After these changes a large number of private and foreign banks started their operation in Pakistan 14

Internship Report Now, Pakistan has a well-developed banking system, which consists of a wide variety of institutions ranging from a central bank to commercial banks and to specialized agencies to cater for special requirements of specific sectors. The country started without any worthwhile banking network in 1947 but witnessed phenomenal growth in the first two decades. By 1970, it had acquired a flourishing banking sector. Pakistan's banking sector has remained remarkably strong and resilient during the world financial crisis in 200809, a feature which has served to attract a substantial amount of FDI in the sector. Stress tests conducted on June 2008 data indicate that the large banks are relatively robust, with the medium and small-sized banks positioning themselves in niche markets. Banking sector turned profitable in 2002. Their profits continued to rise for the next five years and peaked to Rs 84.1 ($1.1 billion) billion in 2006. During the fiscal year of 2008-2009, total assets of all the scheduled banks increased by Rs 574.7 billion. Total assets grew by 6.4 percent from Rs 8861 billion in June 2008 to Rs 9436 billion in June 2009. During the fiscal year of 2008-09, there was also an increase of Rs 248 billion in the net advances of the scheduled banks. Net advances grew by 8.67 percent from Rs 2873 billion in June 2008 to Rs 3128 billion in June 2009.

The MCB Tower in Karachi serves as the MCB's headquarters, and is also the tallest building in Pakistan. MCB, advised by Merrill Lynch, became the fourth Pakistani company (the other three being Hubco, PTCL and Chakwal Cement - they all have been delisted) to list on the London Stock Exchange when it raised US$150 million global depositary receipts. In May 2008 Malaysian bank, Maybank and MCB signed an agreement, whereby Maybank will acquire up to 20% of the ordinary shares in MCB from Nishat Group. The acquisition is in-line with Maybanks strategy, as Malaysias financial services leader in the region, to build its presence in key growth markets across the region. It also paves the way for MCB, one of Pakistans premier financial services groups, to engage Maybank as its exclusive foreign commercial bank strategic partner. Maybank initially acquired from Nishat Group 94,241,527 ordinary shares in MCB, representing a 15% stake in the Bank, for a cash price of PKR470 per share. The total consideration paid was approximately US$686 million. The purchase price represented a 11.4% premium to MCBs closing share price of PKR 422 on May 2, 2008, and a premium of 12.9% to the average closing share price for MCB over the 30 trading days immediately preceding the date of this announcement. Based on MCBs December 31, 2007 audited book value, the purchase price represents an implied price to book value multiple of 5.13x, a price to 2007 earnings multiple of 18.0x and a price to 2008 earnings multiple of 15.2x. In July 2008 Maybank exercised its right to increase its stake to 20%. The stake in MCB allows Maybank the right to appoint two Directors to represent its interest on the Board of MCB. One of these Directors was to be appointed immediately and the second Director will be appointed upon completion of the term of the existing Board, scheduled to be on March 27, 2009.

Training received by number of employees:


For the efficient working training is an important part and it clears the direction of the employees towards attaining the organizational goals. In

banks every employee received the basic course of training of the banking system in which overall view of all the bank work is provided and than every person get the training in his particular job that is assigned to him. So in banks no one can be appointed with out the basic training.

Workload
The work load of the bank staff is based upon on the daily system. The office timing starts from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm (Monday to Friday) and 9.00 am to 1.00 pm on Saturday for the customers. After the bank timing the staff fulfill the daily vouchers transaction and made the entries on the net system and then counted the cash, put it in the safe. The banking staff should finished their word on daily basis whether there work is short or long.

Responsibilities of staff depend upon the scale of the staff members. Higher the rank of the staff higher will be the responsibility on it. For example the Branch Manager responsibility is higher than the Operational Manager.

Internship Report Branch Manager has the responsibility to deal with the Branch customer and with the outsider parties also while all the remaining staff is responsible to deal with the Branch customers only. Branch Manager is responsible for the internal and external environment and the remaining staff is responsible for internal environment only. Operational Manager has the responsibility to check the activities of his subordinates. Cashier is responsible for all the cash transactions which occur in the Bank. Customer Relation officer is responsible to deal the customers well and provide them the necessary information if required.

Physical facilities
The branch where I have done my internship is MCB Adalat Garh branch, here the physical facilities available to the customers are sufficient, proper sitting arrangement is available, and gas heater in winter and air conditioners for summer is also available. But the facilities for the employees is not sufficient, employees have the combined table there is no separate rooms for the employees.

Critical analysis of the branch


Although the bank is performing their function very well but mostly the staff of the bank is young. They have very less experience and low banking knowledge. The banking staff always worries about for increasing the deposit of the bank rather than improving the customers services. The Branch is not located in the business or industry area that why the customers output is very low in the Branch. Every morning the Branch Manager gives the Branch report to the Regional Manager on the telephone meeting which has no logic because Branch Manager always worries for the deposit.

Chapter # 6
Shortage of Staff:

Recommendation

Almost in all branches of Muslim Commercial the problem of Shortage of Staff is very common. There are only few employees who are the be all and end all of the whole branch resulting in burden of work. Basically the main idea behind it is that whenever there is shortage of staff in any organization it always result in lot of work and also boots up the destructiveness as well because people working over there feel like that they can do whatever they feel like so are least bothered about the rules and regulations as implemented by the head office and mostly it results in corruption.

Staff Is Not Adequately Trained:


Staff in almost all branches of MCB is not adequately trained with the contemporary era. Basically MCB is from the very beginning, is pioneer of new products including ATMs, Mobile Banking and Online banking as well but as they developed the new systems and products in order to satisfy the customers want they didnt get their staff trained in relation with those innovations. MCB having two staff colleges one in Lahore and One in Karachi but both make you aware of the systems and procedures but are not training or can say emphasizing on these innovated products.

Online Banking
This problem is related to the previous problem as well because when the staff is not adequately trained then how can they satisfy their customers needs, which is the basic theme or mission of MCB. When MCB started their online banking, there were only one or two banks (foreign Banks) doing this practice because of having a larger network as compared to all other domestic banks MCB started doing this practice but not successful in it because of the above two problems.

A lot of productive time is wasted by the staff in unproductive pursuits and tea and launch breaks are got voluntarily extended and the time spent in corridors, depends on the staff will. This tendency of late must be eliminated which reflect adversely on the image of the institution and has posed a serious problem. No proper allocation of duties, suitable person for suitable job. Distribution of work is not on equity basis, work has not been allocated properly some workers have to work hard in late hours without any extra reward. So I suggest that steps should be taken to allocate the work properly. No periodic increase on salaries of employees.

Overall Suggestions For Improvement


From the quantum of the profit and its financial data it can easily judged that after privatization MCB is performing well. Its deposits are growing day-by-day and so is profitability. The controlling body is responsible for the productive performance of the bank. Following are my observation and suggestion to improve the efficiency for the development of the economy.

Introduce Various Profitable Investment Schemes


A big portion of the home remittance is sent by Pakistan working capital through MCB Limited. As we know a big portion of this amount is wasted purchasing of luxuries. The people motivated to save money by offering the deposit through various investment schemes. The rate of profit should increase 1% or 2% than the other banks and it would be profitable step for bank.

Training Staff:
Staff turnover particularly of trained staff result in financial and other losses. The amount spent by the bank on employment, induction and training of an outgoing officer constitutes to beat till another officer should ready prove his work. The exodus of bank officer in the past has worsened the situation.

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

Refresher Courses:
Refresher courses for the staff are most important in any international organization. All the employees should have these courses according to their requirement. Foreign experts can also be called for this purpose.

Special Training In Abroad


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 employees 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 it to the higher management and some steps must be taken to improve that.

Others
The period of internship should be divided into the number of department of the MCB. The internee should be given timetable mentioning the number of days he has to work at different places in the bank. On the 1st 4 day in each department internee should be given a lecture by the officer of the department concerned about working of the department. A lot of productive time is wasted by the staff in unproductive pursuits and tea and lunch breaks are got voluntarily extended and the time spent in 61

Distribution of work is not on equity basis, work has not been allocated properly some workers have to work hard and have to work in late hours without any extra reward. So I suggest that steps should be taken to allocate the work properly.

Reward and Punishment


It is human nature one goes behind reward and incentives while and try to avoid from punishment. Likewise in commercial institution like bank this system be introduced with full force means active smart, educated skilled, self spoken and well versed staff personal, should be reward and appreciates, while on the other hand lazy, lethargic, heared, rough dealers and ill mannered must be warned penalized and punished. But this all should be on merit and considering the policy of honesty is the best policy and mot due to some personal liking, disliking prejudice and patrimonial. It is therefore suggest certain schemes and checks may be introduced in banks to increase efficiency through reward and punishment system.

Survival Of The Fittest


It is not nearly a sentence or idiom right man for the right job according to his qualification to his qualification, profession skills and experience with the job specification must be considered while posting and placing the employees. It should not be like that a person who may be a very good worker but possessing lack of managerial capabilities should be posted as manager. But as second place in command or some heavy working department wished persons together with managerial qualities and manners in the same fashion should be posted and placed as manager.
