Internship Report, 2010

What is Bank?

“Bank is an institution which revives money from one party and lends to
another party.”

5
Habib Bank Ltd.
Internship Report, 2010

There are different views about origin of the word “Bank”. According to some people
the word “Bank” is derived from the world “Bancus” which means a “Bench”. They
argue their point by this transacted their business of money exchange on the
benches. If the business of any businessman failed, his bench was destroyed by the
people. Due to this practice the word “Bankrupt” was also used.

On the other hand some people say that the world “Bank” is derived from German
time the word “Bank” was replaced by the word “Bank” which is called “Banco”
in Italian language.

The bank can be defined as a “financial institution that borrows money from
one party and lends to the other party (Government, individual,
business) and the difference between borrowing and lending make profit
for the bank.”

6
Habib Bank Ltd.
Internship Report, 2010

In Simple words we can also say that bank is a pipeline through which money moves
into and out of circulation. Bank accepts deposits and repays cash to its
customers on demand. The bank borrows money at a lesser rate of interest
and lends it to the borrower at a higher rate.

The history of banking evolution is very interesting. In the early ages human like and
wealth was not secure. Due to fear of loot-mar and theft people buried their
wealth under land but this method was not satisfied. People started to search
the custodians of wealth. The evolution of banking started and it has crossed
the many stages.

Why Bank is important?

Bank plays a significant part in the economic existence of nation. The growth of
economy is strongly related to the reliability of its banking system. Although
banks create no new money but they borrow, exchange and use wealth. In
this way they become very valuable partners in the process of economic
development.

The fundamental role of bank is to persuade the habit of savings among the people
and to activate these savings for investment purposes. Banks serve in capital
formation.

7
Habib Bank Ltd.
Internship Report, 2010

If there are no banks then there would be concentration of capital in few hands and
the great fraction of capital of the country would remain inactive.

Loan facility provided by the bank works as an encouragement to the produce to


increase production. Banks offer transfer of payment facility, which is cheaper,
quicker and safe. These facilities are very much accommodating for the
development of commerce and trade.

Types of Banks

Banks are classified according to their field of activity; the main types of banks are as
under.

 Commercial banks

 Industrial banks.

 Agricultural banks

 Saving banks.

 Exchange banks.

8
Habib Bank Ltd.
Internship Report, 2010

 Central banks

 Cooperative bank

Commercial Bank

Commercial bank is occupied in performing the routine duties of banking business.


Such bank collects the money from the people (as borrowing) and extends the same
money as a loan for development purposes.

Commercial banks are having profit earning concerns. They


receive deposits and advance loans to the borrowers. They
greatly help in financing for internal and external trade of the
country

So we can say that commercial banks are companies “which transact business of
banking in Pakistan”. Commercial banks have constituted the most important source
of institutional credit in the economy of Pakistan. E x a m p l e o f c o m m e r c i a l
banks in Pakistan is HBL, UBL etc.

Habib Bank Ltd.
Internship Report, 2010
Functions of Commercial Banks:
Today there are more than 7000 branches of commercial
banks along with an established network of supplementary
financial institutions.

The function of a modern commercial bank can be divided


under four headings as:

 Acceptance of deposits

 Advancement of loans

 Agency service

 General utility Service

History of banking in Pakistan


At the time of independence, there were 487 offices of scheduled banks in the
territories now constituting Pakistan. Following the announcement of independence
plan in June 1947, the Hindus residing in the territories now comprising Pakistan
started transferring their registered offices in Pakistan, transferred them to India in
order to bring a collapse of the new state. By 30th June 1948, the number of offices of
scheduled banks in Pakistan declined from 487 to only 195.

Habib Bank Limited commonly referred to as "HBL" and head-quartered in Habib
Bank Plaza, Karachi, Pakistan, is the largest bank in Pakistan. The bank has a

domestic market share of over 40%. It continues to dominate the commercial
banking sector with a major market share in inward foreign remittances (55%) and
loans to small industries, traders and farmers.

Mohammed Ali Jinnah, Pakistan's founding father,


realized the importance of financial intermediation while
he was campaigning for the creation of a separate
homeland for the Muslims of India. He persuaded the
Habib family to establish a commercial bank that could serve the Indian Muslim
community. His initiative resulted in the creation of Habib Bank in 1941, with HO in
Bombay (now Mumbai), and fixed capital of 25,000 rupees. The bank played an
important role in mobilizing funds from the Muslim community to finance the All-India
Muslim League's campaign for the establishment of Pakistan. Habib Bank also
played an important role in channeling relief funds to Muslims hurt in the communal
riots and violence that preceded the departure of the British from India.

After Pakistan was born in 1947, Habib Bank, at the urging of Governor-General
Jinnah, moved its headquarters to Karachi, Pakistan's first capital. This gave Karachi
its first commercial bank of the newly formed Pakistan. The Habib family owned and
managed the bank until the Pakistan government nationalized it on 1 January 1974.

I. Demand Draft:
Demand draft is the on paper order given by one branch of the bank on the behalf of
client to another branch outside the city of the same bank for a certain amount to the

firstly a form is to be filled, in which all details are specified that where and in which
branch the draft is to be sent then the money is deposited which is called draft and

37
Habib Bank Ltd.

money can by drawn after showing to the bank of the specified branch of the bank.
Only specified person can draw the money on that draft. Another method to secure
the payment of the draft could be the crossing of the draft which means that it will
only be deposited in the payee’s account.

It is unconditional order. The payee is not bound to have an account in the bank. It is
issued to rest of the customer and the bank receives the charges and exchange.

II. Pay Order:

A pay order is on paper order issued by the bank on its own branch, drawn upon and
payable by itself to pay a particular sum of the money to the person. The purpose of
the pay order is to transfer the funds from one place to another. It is usually not
issued in favor of the parties of other cities. Usually the pay order is issued for the
local transfer of money between the parties.

Pay order is less costly method of relocate money. Normally this method is used to
transfer money inside the city. If it is used city wide, it takes a long time.

report.
Here the customer is requested to fill update, branch, amount, cheque #,
beneficiary details; his complete name, address, CNIC no., account no. and

handed overt to customer.

3) Clearing Department:
“Clearing house is a place where ambassador, of all bank get together for the
intention of setting the inter bank indebtedness arising from the transmit of deposit by
a customer of a particular bank to another bank.”

This is a superfluous banking facility which is provided to the community in this if they
are maintaining an account with the HBL they can lodge Cheque of any bank in
Pakistan, which will be collected and credited to their respective accounts through
the course of clearing. In this representatives of various banks are gathered at State
Bank of Pakistan and exchanges the Cheque presented to them for debit of the

RECOMMENDATIONS & SUGGESTIONS

61
Habib Bank Ltd.
Internship Report, 2010

I spend six weeks of my internship in Habib Bank Ltd, The Islamia University Branch
Bahawalpur. During this period I felt as the part of the bank. It was my first
experience to work in a banking environment. I had less knowledge about the
operations of the bank and its ambiance. This internship gave me an opportunity to
learn more about the Banking systems. Based on my experience in HBL I can
recommend or suggest them which can help them in short or long-term issues.

So, I will give following suggestions for the better function of the bank:

62
Habib Bank Ltd.
Internship Report, 2010
 It is strongly recommended that HBL must introduce employees training
programs on regular basis. So that employees have awareness about the new
developments with the clients.

 Habib Bank Ltd. should update all the branches throughout the country as the
banking competition is very tight and they have to make their banking systems
quicker and reliable.

 Habib Bank Limited even though providing the customer service in better way
but
there is a lot of work to be done in a custom banking due to which employees
work for stretched duration. Management should reduce the burden of the
employees by hiring new qualified staff and trim down the working hours.

 If any bad debt comes up, then the bank should recover those debts as soon
as possible so that its financial position should improve.

 Branch manager’s attitude and behavior should be supportive & friendly in


order to entertain the difficulties faced by the workers.
 All the additional banks are taking hold of the customers on very high interest
rate presented to the depositors, HBL should also implement some approach
to grab the customer and enhance total deposits.
 The amount of women employed by Habib Bank Limited is not as much as
compared to male staff, so it should provide work to more women.
 Working conditions must be improved for the employees.
 Immediate feedback to customer’s inquiries is essential to sustain a healthy
relationship with the customer.

63
Habib Bank Ltd.
Internship Report, 2010
 Top executive should take all the decisions for the promotion of employees on
the basis of their work done in the bank
 Supplementary conveniences of loans should be provided to individuals for
enhancing the business, studies etc on simple state of affairs.
 For financing actions the procedure should be simple to the customer.
 The recruitment procedure must be reasonable and clear.
 Studies must be carried out regarding degree of customer satisfaction and all
employees of this department should look forward to get criticism whenever
possible.

CONCLUSION

Habib Bank Ltd.:

65
Habib Bank Ltd.
Internship Report, 2010
Habib Bank Ltd. is obviously the first and foremost selection of each and everyone

who believes in qualitative approach of banking, an atmosphere of extremely

accountable employees. Habib Bank is taking pleasure in a strong market share and

enjoying the taste of high-quality standing in terms of its operational features and

customer support. Habib Bank Ltd. is undoubtedly the unsurpassed bank operating

in Pakistan.

Personal loan is a distinguished feature of HBL experiencing a good reputation and

reasonable mark up with respect to prevailing market mark up with assurance of

satisfaction and support. HBL has additional customers as contrast to other banks, if

they give appropriate concentration to every customer then in coming few years it will

be the principal bank of the country.

I noticed that Habib Bank Ltd. is an economically sound bank. Its proceeds are

increasing gradually more years by year. Its personnel are exceptionally good and

genuine with the bank. But due to the current economic crash, business of the bank

has been reduced.

66
Habib Bank Ltd.
Internship Report, 2010
Habib Bank Limited views specialization and service brilliancy as the foundation of its

policy. The people at Bank understand that innovation, creativity, reliability,

customized services and their implementation is the important constituent for their

future enlargement.

HBL is aware that they have paced into 21st century and they must get together its

challenge by obtaining the maximum level of technology. Thus they will be speeding

up their technological advance to facilitate them to deal out their products and

services through most professional and high technology way.

Habib bank was among the top banks of the world but in few years it has lost its

position. HBL is not giving any progress due to political pressure and instability.

Other factors holding back the performance of HBL are unproductive and inefficient

management. Last but not the least corruption is the root cause of declining worth of

HBL.

Removing these factors will not only retain the worth and place of HBL but also lead

it to top ten banks of the world.

67
Habib Bank Ltd.
Internship Report, 2010

HBL is lacking in conflict management. There are many problems aroused regarding

any issue that leads to a conflict; HBL must be having a conflict resolving system in

which higher officials must be involved to have a keen and close look on the critical

issues. The decision making will become easier and beneficial as the issues are

observed by the higher officials. This will result in the decreasing of conflict within the

organization resulting in the motivation of workers as they are now working in ethical

environment, ultimately this will lead to increased productivity of the bank.

HBL took a great step of introducing mobile banking. But a huge problem HBL is

facing is the lack of knowledge of client. Client is unaware of this sort of banking.

HBL can launch an organized marketing program to make its customers aware of

their product.

HBL has upgraded its system by installing “MISYS” to ensure real time banking at its

about 300 local and overseas locations.

Habib Bank, The Islamia University Old Campus Branch:

I want to sum up the pleasant experience I had during my internship program in

Habib Bank Limited, The Islamia University Old Campus Branch. I worked in various

departments of the bank and got the chance to know about the banking operations.

Pension Forms:

On the first day of internship there was

Salary and Pension week was in

process. So the bank was crowded

with people to get their salaries and

pensions.

We were told to help the bank staff by filling the pension forms. It was fun but I had to

do it with responsibility. So I and other internees did this work with full enthusiasm.

After filling out the forms we were asked to record the entries in the register of

Pension Records.

We were told that there are two types of pension:


69
Habib Bank Ltd.
Internship Report, 2010

1. Personal Pension:

The pension which is taken by the worker or employee by himself/herself after

he/she is retired from the work it is called PERSONAL PENSION.

2. Family Pension:

The pension which is collected by the family i.e. wife, children etc of the

employee/worker after his/her death is called FAMILY PENSION.

Every individual is assigned a P.P. no. through which he is given the pension and

then the entry is made in the register of the bank to which the pension is paid.

I worked in the various departments of the bank. My workings in those areas are as

follows:

Account Opening Department:

70
Habib Bank Ltd.
Internship Report, 2010
This department deals with opening account and saving account for its customer and

all matters regarding there off. I opened the current and saving accounts of individual

customers only.

We were told that there are five basic steps to open an account of any customer.

1. Add New Customer (ANC)

2. Open Customer Account (OCA)

3. Add Customer Address (CAA)

4. Customer’s Information (CIM)

5. Know Your Customer (ZYC)

Keeping in mind these steps I opened accounts of many customers. Most of them

were the employees of The Islamia University so they wanted to maintain a salaried

account with the bank. To open the account the customers were given the account

opening form and a specimen signature card to fill. And with these clients were

required to give the copy of identity card and employment certificate in case they are

employed in any organization.

71
Habib Bank Ltd.
Internship Report, 2010
After the paper work the information of the customer was entered in the automated

system, MYSIS, which then gives the account number for that customer. 14 digit

account number is allotted to HBL ac holders. The first four digits are the branch

code where ac is going to be opened. Afterwards the next eight digits are customer

account serial number and last two digits indicate the type of account.

This account number will be used to carry out different transactions by the customer

as the same number will be imprinted on his cheque book.

Account can be OPENED with Minimum Balance Rs.1000/- with no maximum limit.

Deposits Department:

This is the fundamental department of the bank. The entire banking system is based

upon borrowing. Like all banks, deposit department has acknowledged its worth as

the most important. Almost all the operations generated from the deposit department

and with due course of time reflect back to the deposit department. In order to attract

funds bank has introduced various types of deposit schemes that may suit the need

and tastes of a large number of depositors


72
Habib Bank Ltd.
Internship Report, 2010

There are three basic types of deposits:

1. Demand Deposits

2. Time Deposits

3. Saving Deposits

Clearing Department:

Clearing is a system by which banks exchange

cheques and other negotiable instruments drawn on

each other within a specified area and thereby

secure payment for their client through the clearing house at specified time” in an

efficient way.

There are two types of clearing:

Inward Clearing:

A type of clearing in which a bank does payment on the behalf of customer is called

Inward Clearing.

73
Habib Bank Ltd.
Internship Report, 2010

Outward Clearing:

A type of clearing in which a bank collects on the behalf of customer is called

Outward Clearing.

Outward Bills for Collection (OBC’S)

The cheques, which are sent to their city banks for the local clearing in that city, are
called outward bills for collection.

I also prepared these OBCs during my internship.

The kinds of clearing are as follows:

1. Normal clearing

2. Same Day clearing

3. Inter-City clearing

Cheque Book:

As told above cheque book is a printed book of blank cheques issued by the bank

which is used by customer for further transactions.

During my internship I observed the issuance of cheque book.


74
Habib Bank Ltd.
Internship Report, 2010
In short, Habib Bank Limited is the first choice of the students who want to gain the

practical experience of internship. As being the first multinational bank in Pakistan,

HBL has always strived to achieve more market share by focusing on the needs of its

current and potential customers. In this regard, HBL won “THE BANK OF THE

YEAR 2009”award which is a big achievement for HBL’s management and its hard

working employees.
