Banking Sector Overview

Pakistans banking and finance sector grew by over 21 percent from July 2004March 2005 amid the eight percent expansion in the services sector in Pakistan. Financial sector in Pakistan is going through a fast-paced transition as new groups were buying out foreign banks operations in Pakistan. The number of listed banks is also increasing. While the income from core banking activity has increasing due to higher business volume, earnings are also expected to improve due to ventures into consumer finance, housing finance and enhanced lending to the agriculture sector.
In just four years the banking industry has expanded tremendously and now there are
Page 9
more than two dozen commercial and investment banks operating in the country. Commercial banks in the private sector had performed well since their inception, registering overall growth in the deposit base and profits. The banks also managed to maintain a healthy credit portfolio. Foreign banks have a strong presence in all major cities and are targeting high net worth individuals and blue chip companies. Their strategy is quite successful as they account for about 34 percent of total sector profits, despite having only 15 percent of deposits and 16 percent of advances.
During the first six months of the ongoing fiscal year, total assets of all the scheduled banks increased by Rs 239 billion. Total assets grew by 8.5 percent from Rs 2,800 billion in June 2004 to Rs 3,039 billion in Dec 2004. During the first six months of 2004-05, there was also an increase of Rs 277 billion in the net advances of the scheduled banks. Net advances grew by 19.3 percent from Rs 1,437 billion in June 2004 to Rs 1,714 billion in Dec 2004.
MCBs Performance Overview

The first half of 2005 was very promising for MCB, as the bank has achieved pre tax profits of Rs. 4.2 billion, compared with Rs. 2.2 billion for the same period in 2004. Profit after tax has more than doubled compared to the corresponding period for 2004 and exceeds Rs. 3 billion highest ever profit in the history of MCB. This translates into earning per shares of Rs. 7.43. Advance and deposit increased to Rs. 156 billion and Rs. 241 billion reflecting a growth of 14% and 10% respectively. Additionally the banks assets expanded by 16% during the half year ended 2005 and crossed Rs. 300 billion marks. Banks equity (capital and reserves) increased by 41% during the half year, which was due to the issue of right shares and retained earnings. Increase in equity would improve the lending limit and would provide the opportunity for significant growth of
Page 10
the banks balance sheet. This would also help to meet the capital requirement under Basel Accord II, which will be effective from 2007. Based on continuing growth and consistently outstanding performance, MCB has once again received the Euromoney Award 2005 for the Best Bank in Pakistan. MCB has become the only bank to receive the Euromoney Award for Excellence for the fifth time in last six years. In addition, Asia Money has also declared MCB as The Best Domestic Commercial Bank in Pakistan for the year 2005.

Net interest income of the bank grew by just 2.5% during the period to Rs 6.1 billion as compared to Rs 6.0 billion in the corresponding period of last year. High cost of deposits was the main reason behind.
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.
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.
Page 27
Operating costs are increasing due to inflation. Interest rate is increasing so loan taking has decrerased. 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. MCB will have to follow it.

Mostly, cash area is grilled and its door is under supervision of the head of that department. All the books maintained in this department are checked by an officer.
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
Page 36
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) Time deposits / liabilities 2) Demand deposits / liabilities 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 & 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 (CD):

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 (SA): This type of account is for those persons who want to make small savings'. This type
Page 37
of account is opened with a minimum deposit of Rs. 1000/-. Under this scheme deposits can be 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.
KUSHALI BACHAT A/C (KBA): This is an advance form of PLS saving a/c, in this type of account. The minimum balance requirement for this type is Rs. 2500/-. There is also restriction on the number of withdrawals as well, i.e. up to 4 times in a calendar month. For maintaining this extra balance the customer gets the benefits of profit calculation on daily product basis and also free service of standing instructions of paying utility bills and HBFC installments. All other rules of saving account are applicable.
PLS 365 SAVING A/C: This is a special type of saving account in which customer maintains a minimum balance of Rs. 300,000- and in turn he gets the benefits of daily profit calculations and also there is no restriction on the maximum number of withdrawals as was there in the case of KBA. There is also another advantage of this scheme that if balance on a particular day falls below the minimum balance then only the product of that day is ignored whereas in KBA, if balance falls below the minimum limit then all the products for that month are ignored on in other words no profit is paid for that month.
NOTE: PLS Saving, Kushali Bachat & PLS 365 saving accounts can be opened in foreign currency also. Before nuclear tests of 1998 these accounts were opened in four major currencies but now these are only opened in USD ($). However, now bank discourages the opening of foreign currency accounts because no forward cover risk is provided by State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and all the loss in case of devaluation or depreciation in local currency has to be born by bank himself. This increase in cost has left foreign currency account of no use, therefore, now bank prefers to accept deposits in local currency rather in foreign exchange.
Page 38
KHANUM BACHAT SCHEME: This is a type of term deposit, in this type of deposit an account is deposited and monthly payments of Rs. 1000/- are made by the account holder in this account for a minimum of 10 years. After the expiry of term, he receives his funds along with profit for the tenor. The distinctive feature of this product is that profit is calculated on monthly basis and charged to account on end of each half /ear. Then profit is also calculated on that amount of profit which is credited to the customer's account. So we can say that in this type of account there is a concept of accumulated profits on profit. This ends in getting a heavy return for the depositor at the end of tenor for his small savings. This product was actually introduced to promote saving habits in the people. Zakat and withholding taxes are deducted as per rules only at the time of maturity while making payment to the customer.
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.
MONTHLY KUSHALI SCHEME: This scheme is similar to CGC in the sense that an initial deposit is made in this case also but instead of lump sum payment at the end of the tenor, the person gets a monthly profit on his deposits. Under this scheme, the bank has guaranteed minimum rate of 1% per month but usually this rate is more than 1% per month. Zakat & withholding tax are calculated as per rules laid down by the government. PLS TERM DEPOSIT RECEIPTS (TDRS) This is a type of term deposit in which a receipt is issued for varying tenors ranging
Page 39
from 1 month to 5 years or more. These are in the form of receipts and profit on these receipts is paid biannually. These receipts are encashable after expiry of the period for which they were issued. Different profit rates are applied to different type of TDRs.
SPECIAL NOTICE DEPOSITS (SND): 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.
ACCOUNT OPENING:
Account opening is an agreement in which customer offers his funds and bank accepts these funds, therefore the nature of relation between a banker and customer is of a contractual one and all the conditions applicable to this contract act are also applicable.
PROCEDURE FOR OPENING: Procedure for opening of account is as follows: A person, who wants to open any kind of account, has to fill in a printed form which is provided by the bank, free of cost. Separate account opening forms are used for different types of accounts. Bank usually requires that new depositor must be introduced by some one. An introducer can be any person known to the bank but preferably it should be a customer of the bank. However, the manager can open the account by his own introduction. If the manager is satisfied, it will obtain the full signature of the customer- on the form and specimen signature card, makes the first deposit, and issues the cheque book.
Page 40
The following are given to the customers: Pay-in-slip is the proof of deposit. For every payment which is. to be deposited in the bank, the pay-in-slip is to be filled up. The object of this book is to provide the customer with the bank's acknowledgment for receipt of money to be credited this account. Cheque Book contains a number of cheques. It enables a customer to make withdrawal from this account or make payment of various parties by issue of cheque. Pass Book is a copy of the customers account as appears in the books of the bank. Balance is recorded in this book by the Clerk. NOTE: 1) In case of partnership account partnership deed should be attached. 2) In case of companies memorandum and article of association, certificate of incorporation, certificates for commencement of business, list of directors and board resolution for opening of account is also obtained from the customer. 3) Accounts of Trusts, Executors & Administrators can also be opened but with the prior approval of the Head Office. Profit payment & calculation is done in accordance with the rules of each type of deposit scheme-by the deposit department. The products for each deposit scheme are calculated separately and added till the end of 6 month period. Then the sum total of these products is multiplied with the respective profit rates which are issued by the Head Office at the end of each half yearly closing. The profit provisions for each type of deposits are also calculated on monthly basis by the same department in order to calculate the net profit or loss position of the branch. Accounting entries are also made in the respective books of account by this department. However, in small and medium size branches, the accountant performs the book keeping duties for all kinds of ledgers.
CLEARING DEPARTMENT
Every banker acts both as a paying as well as a collecting banker, It is however an important function of crossed cheques. A large part of this work is carried out through the bankers clearing house.
Page 41
A clearing house is a place where representative of all banks of the city get together and settle the receipts and payment of cheques drawn on each other. As the collecting banker runs certain risks in receipt of their ownership the law has provided certain protections to the banks. The Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881, lays down hat drawer or holder of a cheque or draft may cross the instrument generally or specially. It further lies down that a crossed cheque can only be paid to a banker, who collects it for a customer in good faith and without negligence.

Voucher register However, in computerized branches all these ledgers are no more there but only day books are maintained. The rest of the work is done on computers.
ADVANCES DEPARTMENT
Advances are the most important source of earning for the banks. MCB is also giving
Page 44
full attention towards this aspect and it is also obvious from the growing portfolio of advances and from very low delinquency rate. The credit portfolio of this institution is in a very much better shape than other financial institutions of Pakistan and the credit goes to the management and the staff who are concerned about the quantity and quality as well. 1) Loans 2) Cash Credits 3) Overdraft
1) LOANS: Loans are monetary assistance by a financial institution to a business, individual etc. The loans are granted by the bank in lump sum, so these types called fixed or demand loans. Interest is charged on the whole amount of a fixed loan. The borrower withdraws whole the amount of loan. This type of loan is normally granted against security of gold documents. In case of demand loans against gold or documents, a demand promissory note for the amount of loan is taken from the borrower loans are granted under;
A) LOAN AGAINST GOLD: Under this type of loan, which is granted to the borrower the Head Cashier estimates the value of Gold or Gold ornaments through an agent (Gold smith) and keeps a margin of 40 to 50 percent. After the opening the gold loan account a token is given to the borrower, which is a bank receipt. 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.
B) LOAN AGAINST PLEDGED OF STOCK: In case of advancing such types of loans, the following precautions are dept in the
Page 45
mind: i) Stock pledged must be readily saleable ii) Products should be readily saleable iii) Advance should be within the borrows means
REQUIREMENT FOR LOAN: For granting loan to any party or individual, the bank checks following particulars of the client: 1) Credibility 2) Feasibility Report By Credibility, bank Judges the credibility of the client by his past bank record, CBI report etc. it is very important in making decision about giving him loan. Feasibility report is on the running or proposed business of the client. The report enables the bank to judge the likely return of the business.
2) CASH CREDIT Cinder such cash account is opened in the name of the customer who borrows from the bank. Customer is granted a loan up to a certain limit, sanctioned by the head office, from which he can draw when he requires and interest is charged on the amount actually utilized by the customer. In order to avoid the danger of idle fund, the bank charges a certain rate of interest, even if the customer does not withdraw any amount. The rate charged by the bank on cash credit in 46 paisa per thousand on daily basis. The credit is usually given against the securities of goods or merchandize as follows:
1. ADVANCES AGAINST PLEDGE STOCK IN TRADE OR PRODUCTS When a cash is granted against the pledge of stock or product, cash credit form is taken, from the certain products or stock, but the actual pledge is created when the stock or finished product are placed under the bank's lock or the document of title are duly endorsed to the bank by the borrower.
2. HYPOTHECATION OF STOCK ON FINISHED PRODUCTS: The difference between pledge and hypothecation is that under a pledge the
Page 46
borrower's goods are placed in the bank's possession under own lock, whereas, under a hypothecation, they remain in the possession of the borrower or guarantor and are merely charged to the bank under documents signed by them. Even though the documents empower the bank to take possession of the goods hypothecated, but it is possible that the borrower may actually resist any attempt.
3. MORTGAGES OF PROPERTY: Title deeds of immovable property are accepted by the bank only as collateral security or alternatively as unauthorized security.
MODES OF CREDIT FACILITIES There are two types of facilities
A FUNDED FACILITY 1) Running finance 2) Cash finance 3) Demand finance 4) Payment against documents 5) Finance against imported merchandise 6) Finance against trust receipt 7) Export finance 8) Foreign bill purchased 9) Others

TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT
Technological advancements are also affecting the banking industry. The foreign banks have a competitive edge over all local banks in their technologies' advancements and automated systems. Local banks have also realized the gravity oil this situation and are striving to add computerized systems to their branches MCB is ahead of all other local banks in this field and now it is in a position to even compete with foreign banks. There are more than 1045 branches of MCB all over Pakistan and out of these more than 300 branches are fully computerized Almost all .the branches of big cities are computerized; therefore, the need for a technology department at each branch is growing. Now a day, a computer division is working in each city to provide service to ad the branches of that area. MCB has also introduced the now concept of online banking. There are now more than 250 branches linked through this system and they can transact with each other directly using computer systems at their own branches. Now customers do not have to wait long for their transactions and can operate their account through all the online branches.
ATM NETWORK:
ATM stands for Automatic Teller Machine. This machine is used to transact in one's account without intervention of humans. These machines are basically used for taking cash, confirming balances and requesting statements / cheque books. MCB has the largest ATM network in the country at the moment with almost one ATM at each online branch and also ATM terminals at International Airports. This network covers more than the 27 cities of Pakistan including the provincial capitals and large commercial cities of the country.
Page 50
ATMs are operated through a card issued to the valued customers and by application of Personal Identification Number (PIN number). A person can withdraw from any machine across Pakistan with having an account in only one branch of MCB. This was only possible with the help of online system. In this system all the machines are linked to central banking host at IRM division Karachi through either satellite or telephone controller. This system identifies the card holder and his PIN Number. Now MCB has also entered into a contract with Cirrus which is a subsidiary of MasterCard. This contract will enable an ATM card holder to use his account even when he is out of country at all the ATMs where Cirrus logo is displayed. Green Cards are ordinary cards with a maximum withdrawal facility of Rs. 10,000/in a day. The annual fee for this card is Rs. 300/- only. Gold Cards are special cars with maximum withdrawal limit of Rs. 25000/- in a day. These cards are issued to the persons having more than Rs. 500000/- as their average balance. International Cards are issued in collaboration with Cirrus and are useable all over the world with maximum withdrawal facility according to the standards of Cirrus.

Internship Program
INTRODUCTION:
I had done my internship in MCB bank limited, G.T Road GUJRAT. Following is the brief introduction of the branch. Branch Code Address Contact Numbers 1297 Kutchery Chowk, GUJRAT 053-3524692
In the Muslim Commercial Bank Ltd. I really enjoyed working with the staff of Kutchery Chowk Gujrat (1297)and having a wish to be employee of MCB. It was almost impossible to work in all the 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 this Branch on the request of the manager of that branch 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

Page 52
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.
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. 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. Another account holder of the bank should properly introduce the new customer. 2. The account holder should sign the account opening form in the presence of bank officer and the signature is duly verified. 3. A copy of identity Card is required by Bank. 4. 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

Page 53
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. Basically following information is required to open an account with MCB 1. Title of Account 2. Full Name of Applicant 3. Occupation 4. Address 5. Telephone No. 6. Currency of account 7. Nature of Business 8. Introducers Name, Address & Signatures 9. Special instruction regarding the account 10. Initial Amount of the Deposit 11. Signature of the applicant

I) FOR CASH PAYMENTS
Cheques which are presented on Bank counter must be checked in the following way: 1) Date. 2) Signature of Drawer. 3) Signature of Payee. 4) Whether Bearer has cancelled.

First of all, Performa is filled by purchasing party along with cheque or cash payment. When cheque is received it is first posted in computer section in order to check the balance of account. After posting the bank officer calculate tax if National Tax number is not there. i.e. Rs.100000 @0, 1% More than Rs.40000 @0.4% Commission and postage charges are also calculated. These are paid in cash or otherwise by cheque.
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 thecustomer 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. 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.
Page 57
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.

Planning about the career is always difficult as there are many doubts regarding different possible opportunities and it is really difficult for the students to select the best possible place for their future job because they do not have enough knowledge about different work settings, they do not have the experience that can provide help to them in attaining the best possible job alternative. I am always interested to get a job in banking sector but there were some doubts in my mind about the banking environment, bank timings etc. but after internship all doubts are vanished. I have personally experienced the banking environment and concluded that it is very good and safe for females. Six weeks internship program helped me to critically analyze the banking sector as a whole and I can openly say that banking sector provides conducive environment for career growth.
It is evident from this report and the financial statements of MCB that it is making
Page 59
progress by leaps and bounds. The profits of MCB have grown considerably during the last few years and this trend is expected to continue into the future. Therefore, we conclude that MCB has a very prosperous present and future, which assures the shareholders of wealth maximization. Side by side of it I think that if bank would be able to cover and control on the above mentioned recommendations then it would be in such a situation that will really lead it towards the road of prosperity, development and integrity. And with the above mentioned sentences I think there is too fault of the customers and in order to make the proper working of the bank the customers should also cooperate with the bank which will be really a good, ambitious and diligent condition for the bank. And then bank will be really in such a situation and position to compete its competitors in the country as well as on international level.
Strength:
The strengths of MCB are as: MCB is the first Pakistani privatized bank and because of its quality management, marketing, innovation in products and services is performing well in financial market. Has established a good reputation in the banking market Strict adherence with the banking procedures requirements, SBPs prudential regulation requirements and its SROs and international banking requirement as well as to its own set policies Strong and its attractive products Better focus on customer services and customization Flexibility with the changing environment Induction of the highly qualified professionals to change overall set up
Weaknesses:
Page 60
The noted weaknesses of MCB are as: 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 mismanaging of time allocation and work the staff is normally on their seats till 7:00 or 8:00 clock. Process of development is bit slow due to its conservative approach Never prefer to be a leader and prefer to be a follower of others Slow improvement and acceptance of technological changes More emphasis on deposit accumulation and less on their mobilization
Opportunities
Greater potential and opportunities for Credit Division if Liberal Policies being adopted. Can grab more market share for its RTCs, remittances and forex department through effective promotional and liberal policies. Inclusion of highly qualified professional can change the whole scenario and position of the bank if they have given the due liberty in performing their duties. Adoption of information technology will improve the customer services. More mobilization of accumulated deposit is possible through innovative financing to Agro Based Sector Leasing Personalized Financing

Threats
Change in government policies has 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. Employees unions have been allowed if not managed properly can affect performance. 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. Introduction of credit marketing by local and foreign banks is badly affecting the mobilization of the MCBs deposits due to the non presence of such department in it. Introduction and adoption of information technology as well as promotion of the computer culture by the local as well as foreign banks will definitely affect the services and business of the MCB.

From the Quantum of the profit and its financial data it can be easily judged that 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 observation and suggestion to improve the efficiency for the development of the economy. A big portion of the home remittance is sent by Pakistan working capital through Muslim Commercial Bank 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 other banks and it would be profitable step for bank. There is a criticism on the banking management that the salaries of the employees are decreasing in every succeeding year. And I think this will shake the confidence and working habit of the employees. There is another recommendation about the bank that there is no proper timing of the bank and there is made an unnecessary delay in the banking transactions, which might not be a good sign for the bank from future prosperity point of view. Staff turnover particularly of trained staff result in financial and other losses. The amount spent by the bank on employment, induction and training of outgoing officers constitutes to beat till another officer should ready prove this work. The exodus of bank officer in the past has worsened the situation. 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 for the staff are most important in any international organization. Alt the employees should have these courses according to their requirement. Foreign experts can also be called for this purpose. Every year some of the employees should be sent for training to other countries and
Page 64
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. 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. As 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. Recruitments should be strictly on merit basis and induction should be after proper and extensive training. Old and lazy staff should be replaced by young, qualified and energetic staff. Foreign branches should be opened in order to capture the international market and to earn international repute for the bank. Working environment, equipment, furniture and staff dressing should be according to the modern banking style. Proper attention should be paid to upgrade customer services. Bank should adopt the global organizational banking structure to meet the international standards of banking sector
