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:

Pre-Nationalization Era

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 that shows the deposit & branch positions of different
nationalized banks.

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) MCB taken up by a private group in April, 1991
b) ABL taken up by its own employees in September, 1991
c) 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:

(
to be the best place to work .
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 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:
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 Pakistan.
Extended use of information technology, which is evident from the fact that
there are 768 fully automated branches, 243 online branches (integrated networking),
151 ATMS in 27 cities nation wide and a M.C.B continuously innovate new product.

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) 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.

Gomal University D.I Khan

PLS Saving Bank a/c (SA):


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 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 State Bank of Pakistan
(SBP) and all the loss in case of devaluation provide no forward cover risk 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.

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.
Gomal University D.I Khan

MCB Bank Limited

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 Mubarak 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 khushali 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.

Term deposit receipts (TDRs)


This is a type of term deposit in which a receipt is issued for varying tenors
ranging 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 some one must introduce that new depositor. 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.
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. The Clerk records Balance in this book.
NOTE:
In case of partnership account partnership deed should be attached.
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.
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.

Advances are the most important source of earning for the banks. MCB is also
giving 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.

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.

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
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.

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.
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

CHAPTER#9
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Gomal University D.I Khan

MCB Bank Limited


39

F I N D I N G S AN D R E C O M M E N D ATI O N S
From the Quantum of the profit and its financial data it can be easily judged
that after privatization, MCB 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 MCB 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

Gomal University D.I Khan

MCB Bank Limited


40

all out-look towards banking. The promotion policy should be adjusted.

Refresher Courses for the staff are most important in any international
organization.
Al 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 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.

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.

CONCLUSION
It is evident from this report and the financial statements of MCB that it
is making 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.
