system to avoid the future complications & to evaluate the employee performance &
encouraging them. That conclusion was arrived at after Eight weeks extensive practical
training/study in the HR department of the company. I am grateful to my seniors, and

PART ONE
INTRODUCTION OF THE
ORGANIZATION:
History:
The Bank of Punjab started functioning with the inauguration of its first branch of 7-Egerton
Road, Lahore on November 15, 1989. The architect of the bank Mr. Nawaz Sharif then, the
Chief Minister of Punjab, performed the inauguration.
In Pakistan, for long periods of time that the gap in savings and investment and trade deficit
has posed a serious threat to target levels of growth-related ailments budget deficit and public
debt, both external and internal add up. Interestingly, although growth in such adverse
circumstances in the real sector during the previous year showed a favourable exchange,
which speaks of hidden potential and strength of the economy.
BOP has emerged as on one of the foremost financial institutions in the country, focused on
spurring an economic revival by end evoking to meet the needs of tomorrow as well as today.
Our extensive portfolio encompasses all facets of banking.
Introduction:
The bank of Punjab established in 1989,in pursuance of the bank of Punjab Act 1989 and was
given the status of scheduled bank in 1994. The bank of Punjab stated functioning on
November 15, 1989. It was established under the provisions of section 28 of the federal list
included in the 4th scheduled of the constitution of the Islamic republic of Pakistan 1973.
The bill to this effect was passed by provisional assembly on July 3rd 1989 and assented to
by Governor Punjab in accordance with the provision of the constitution on 26 July 1989.
This act provided for the foundation for which the structure of bank was erected. It also
included and provided for various modalities concerning the structure, the organization and
scope of the bank laying down the objectives, share capital and principal of lending.
The entire responsibility of policy formulation and management has been placed, under the
act, with the board of director. The Board is headed by the Chairman/Managing Directors
appointed by the Govt. that runs the affairs of the bank as per guidelines provided by the bank
of Punjab has a progressive and a dynamic human resource philosophy.
The bank believes in transforming its human capital into a key source of competitive
advantage. There is a strong value system in place, which is driven by result orientation,
adaptability to change humility and respect for sub ordinates and peers. The bank believes
that investment in human capital is critical for achieving and sustaining growth.
The banks constant endeavour is to create a performance driven work culture with focus on
employee satisfaction and retention.
BOP strongly believes that the interest of the bank and the employees are inseparable. They
try to create WE culture where there is a mutual trust and respect for each other. BOP
encourages ownership behaviour so that everyone feels responsible for the performance and
reputation of the bank. The bank committed to develop and enhance each employees skills
and capabilities through extensive in-house and external training programs and job rotation.
The efficient, hardworking, talented and qualified human resources are the main drivers
behind the success of any organization. Especially for those who working in the service
industry human resource is the key to success. Fortunately BOP is gifted with talented and
dedicated employees who not only know and understand the vision of the bank but also do
great effort to achieve organizations goals and objectives.
BOP is essentially a financial organization. The bank is concerned about the commercial
banking and related services in Pakistan and abroad. The nature of the operations of the bank
is different and unique from other banks / financial institutions working in Pakistan. Balance
of payments is the largest commercial bank in Pakistan. After redefining its role has become
a modern commercial bank rather than a public sector organization.
Bank services are accessible to people, the government and the business sector. It also deals
with treasury operations of the Government of Pakistan as an agent for the State Bank
of Pakistan (SBP in places where no presence). It has a diversified business portfolio and is
now a front-end player in the market for debt securities, agricultural finance, corporate
investment banking, retail and consumer banking, treasury services and are taking a growing
interest in development of small and medium businesses. It is also fulfilling its social
responsibilities as a corporate citizen
Economic Review:
Control expenditures and year 2013 shall see how effective implementation of these measures
ultimately remains. However, despite deteriorating economic conditions, inflation was
Contained significantly during 2012. This was primarily why SBP slashed its discount rates
by 250 basis points after August 2012 so as to ease monetary flow. With a lenient policy rate,
a slight stimulation in private investment was also seen. Further reduction in inflation could
Prove to be a stepping stone for accelerated economic expansion in 2013 and onwards. The
industrial sector is still suffering from adverse effects of the gas shortfall and energy crisis.
Hence if the energy crisis is resolved to some extent, a major chunk of the economy could
benefit and facilitate achievement of economic development targets. If not dealt with, this
crisis will continue to be a binding constraint through the whole of next year However; the
agriculture sector did recover with cotton, wheat, rice and other major crops benefiting from
post flood recovery. A volatile political environment coupled with deteriorating law & order
was also seen towards the close of the year. With political uncertainty and a volatile security
situation, the economy was bound to suffer.
However, on a brighter note, upcoming political restructuring might be able to bring back
economic stability and allow a faster pace of growth.
Pakistans economy has now been put to a test of structural changes, which might be the only
solution to more prosperous 2013. Broadening of the tax base, elimination of elements
draining public finances and stability in the power sector are key in allowing this to happen.
The bank of Punjab has indeed entered a new era of science to the nation under experience
and professional hands of its management. The bank of Punjab plays a vital role in the
national economy through mobilization of untapped local resources, promoting savings and
providing funds for investment.
Attractive rates of profit on all types of deposits, opening of foreign currency account and
handling of foreign exchange business such as imports, exports and remittances, financing,
trade and industry for working capital requirements and money market operations are some
facilities being provided by the bank.
The lending policy of bank is not only cautious and constructive but also based on principles
of prudent lending with maximum emphasis on security. As agriculture is considered as
backbone of our economy the bank of Punjab has introduced kissan Dost Agriculture
finance Scheme to small farmers. The bank of Punjab shares are listed on all stock
exchanges in Pakistan i.e. Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad. The government of Punjab holds
the majority shares of the bank.
National Bank of Pakistan is today a progressive, efficient, and customer focused institution.

different segments of society. Some schemes have been specifically designed for the low to
middle income segments of the population. These include NBP Advance Salary, NBP Saiban,

The bank has taken various measures to facilitate overseas Pakistanis to send their

Western Union for expanding the base for documented remittances. More recently it has
started Electronic Home Remittances Project. This project introduces technology based
system to handle inward remittances efficiently, by ensuring that the Bank's branches keep a

Methods:
RECRUITMENT:
In the bank of Punjab the recruitment is done by attracting employees through internet,
newspapers and company website. Since the every outset the bank of Punjab has placed
great premium on merit. The bank devised its officer training schemes in early 1990s. The
policy of recruitment is purely on the basis of merit, found its fullest expression in the
diploma results announced by the institute of bankers in December 1991, July 1992 and
January 1993.
SELECTION:
Selection builds on recruiting and involves decisions about whom to hire. It is an exercise in
prediction. In BOP the managers follow a proper process of selection. They use a no of
selection tools like application forms, written test, and interview and background
investigation. The most used selection devises are preliminary test, final test, preliminary
interview and final interview.
ORIENTATION:
A new employee when he hired need some kind of introduction to his/her job and the
organization. In orientation the employee is made familiar to his/ her job, work environment
and realistic job interview. In BOP the newly hired employee is introduced with work unit,
working hours, pay procedure, rules and regulation and HR policies and benefit.
EMPLOYEE TRAINING:
In BOP the officer training institute is made for training the employees. Training of
employees is based on their required skills and position. They are trained with interpersonal
skills like communication, customer services, diversity and culture awareness, leadership
coaching, technical skills about their job, information technology and computer application

Bell curve award it is a performance award. These are specific grader (A, B, C) given to
every employee according to his performance that the end of the year the employee with
outstanding grades gets a promotion or 7 basic salaries as a bonus. Beside this Eid bonuses
are also given to every employee on both Eids. There is a travelling allowance TADA for
auditors. Petrol is also given to the employees but this incentive is not for every employee it
start with assistant vice president (250 liter petrol per month) to top. For top managers there
are managerial allowances and mobile facility is also given to them.
The bank face serious problem of employees shortage, with the emergence of foreign banks
and their attractive pay structure BOP employees move towards them. Now when I joined
the bank as an internee I found its HR is very well coordinated and managed and HR
planning is very strong. During my internship period I experienced 3 interviews session for
job candidate and training are held very frequently. Usually 2 training sessions per week
must be held at regional office.
PLANNING:
The planning process of BOP is much formalized; they follow clear cut rules and following
a hierarchy style. The BOP have integrated network of goals in which the accomplishment
of goals at the higher level serves as the mean for achieving the goals at the operational
level. Bank of Punjab has multiple goals but it is a profit seeking organization so it emphasis
on one profit making goal. The basic strategic plan of the bank of Punjab is establishing the
organizations basic goal that they desire to achieve for profit making.
The short term plans deal with the minor goals of the bank and long term deals with major
plans. The bank stated only those goals which give benefit to stakeholder. All long term and
short term goals are made and approved by the board of directors and BOP management.
The head office set the goals and makes plans for the achievement of goals according to the
standards set by state bank of Pakistan.
BOP use formal planning but prefer group decision making style for planning.The planning
procedure start with the planning document which is made by head office and then it
circulate in all branches of the bank. The branch manager shares these plans with the
employees working under him.
BOP use multi techniques for planning that are forecasting and benchmark. Bank of Punjab
use strategic planning with time frame of long term and the nature of planning normally
directional which can be change according to the requirement.
ORGANIZING:
Organizing of BOP involves assembling and coordinating the human, financial, physical
information and other resources needed to achieve goals. It include attracting people to the
organization, specifying job responsibilities, grouping jobs into work units, marshalling and
allocating resources and creating condition so that people and thing work together to
maximize success.
The bank of Punjab has formal arrangements of jobs. In bank work specialization is an
important organizing mechanism. The bank of Punjab is departmentalize on the basis of
geographical territory and functions such as credit policy division, treasury and international
division, marketing division, administration division, finance and share department etc. the
bank of Punjab running its 273 branches at all major business canters.
So a single manager had to handle a large no of employees at one time which is a difficult
task for him. He has to keep an eye on their work and monitor them. Top level managers tell
the other managers what to do so the chain of command in the bank is not very stick.
Top level management takes all the decisions about the organization. Employees have no
right to take decision but they can give their opinion and suggestions to the top management.
Now the bank moving towards the decentralized approach as since the lower level managers
have more detailed knowledge about the problems and their decisions than do top managers
so the authority has been pushed down to the regional and operational levels and top level
managers take their suggestions into their consideration. Employees in the bank are guided
by the rules and procedure about the organization. The bank of Punjab is moderately
formalized.
COMMUNICATION:
Communication in the bank of Punjab is very friendly and formalized. They use modern and
traditional system for communication.BOP use both downward and upward communication
system.
Meetings are held in all major regional offices, to provide a forum where by employees can
interact with senior management and discuss market trends and business update with them.
They also provide a platform for employees to voice their concern and suggestions. Any sort
of information communicated in the bank is through group meetings, telephone, formal
presentation, memos, traditional mails, fax machines, employees publications, conferences
and electronic mails.
LEADING:
The bank of Punjab is one of the leading banks in Pakistan. It has always maintained an
optimistic view on the future outlook for Pakistan. Bop ranks as 2nd top ten traded
companies and as holds the 7th position in top 10 gainers of the countries.
LEADERSHIP STYLE:
In BOP the top level managers and supervisors use different leadership style to attain their
goals and influence their employees. Their motivating styles could be in the form of their
task, relationship, delegation, participation and communication.
The organization gives loan for automobiles houses and other things with low rate of
interest. Employees can also get some cost of living allowances by BOP like medical
allowances, house rent and manage allowances. BOP facilitates their every regular
employee with EFU insurance facility and it is also offered to their children and wife as
well. Medical facilities are also given.
TEAM WORK:
Nowadays all the organization promotes team working atmosphere because it increase the
productivity level. Especially in the banking sector team and group task are more
encouraged. BOP also work in team form. Although every employee is trained to do every
kind of work individually but there is a division of labour.
ORGANIZATION BEHAVIOR:
CONTROLLING:
The official work of BOP is done under the supervision of two authorities. One is state bank
of Pakistan as they make rules and regulation that must be followed by bank and 2nd head is
BOP head office which are consist of board of directors, audit & inspection, president and
general managers who make policies and rules for the bank and all the branches work
according these polices and rules & regulation.
The bank of Punjab uses two approaches of control to monitor employee performance and
activities.
1. Bureaucratic control
2. Clan control
The bank use mix of both control. The bank use rules and regulation for bureaucratic control
and values believes and norms for clan control.
The bank does not use the whole controlling process to monitor activities and performance.
It just measures the performance of employee and managers take immediate action to
correct the deviations and inadequate standards.
The performance of bank is measured by checking the quality and quantity of services being
provided to customers and also through audit.
There are two types of audit external and internal. Internal audit is usually both for branches
and the whole organization. There are normal inspections and supervise inspections to check
the performance of bank and it is done by the audit committee.
External audit is done by some other audit organization. BOP has its external audit. Its
purpose is to check that there should not be any irregularity in the revenues, profit, lose,
services or accounts of the bank. The external audit is usually done by state bank of
Pakistan.

The working capital is rapidly increasing from 2006 to 2007. Because the current assets of
BOP are rapidly, increase. In 2008 it declined but not in a rapid as it grows 2006 to 2007.
Leverage Ratios:
These ratios show the capital structure of the firm. Through these ratios we find that how the
firm finance their activities. It is more important for the lender to assess that the firm can
repay the loan amount or not. Increasing debt increases the likelihood of bankruptcy of the
firm. Following ratios falls under this category.

Explanation:
The total capitalization ratio compares the total debt with the sum of debt and equity. The low
capitalization ratio indicates the financial fitness of the firm. According to the graph, I can
see that the ratio in 2008 is higher. In 2007, it was at the lowest level in selected years.
Profitability Ratios
Profitability ratios measure the earning ability of the firm. Following ratios are calculated:
Return on Assets
Total Revenue
= Markup/ return/interest earned

It is simple Return on Assets, which calculate through net income, and total assets but the
result is same as in Du-Pont ROA. It is showing the consistent decline in the return on Assets.
Total Revenue
= Markup/ return/interest earned
Total Assets
= Given in the Balance Sheet
Du-Pont ROA = (Net Income / Total Revenue) x (Total Revenue / Total Assets)
Year 2010

Net Profit = -10,084,940
Graphical Representation:
Explanation:
DuPont ROA Analysis is the approach to calculate the Return on Assets by taking Net
Income, Total Revenue and Total Assets. It shows the effect of revenue on the net income
and the total assets. When we calculate the DuPont ROA of BOP, we find consistently the
decline in the return on assets. Net Profit Margin is Declining on the other hand the total
Asset were not generating enough revenue. Therefore, the Return on Assets decline in 2008
and it goes to negative.

Graphical Representation:
Explanation:
This ratio also shows the decline in revenue of BOP. In 2006 it nearly 35% but after 2006 it
start to decline and in 2008 it merely 6.41%. Because the revenue of the BOP declines so the
Gross Profit automatically decline.

Explanation:
Total Asset turnover ratio measures the firms effectiveness in generating the revenue from
its investments in total assets. The graph is showing the increase in the total assets turnover
ratio. But its not real growth because when we analyze the Financial Statements of BOP we
find that in 2007 the income and assets increased so the ratio also increased but in 2008
income decreased whereas the assets decrease with more ratio. So this factor caused the
increase in the total assets turnover in 2008.

Explanation:
The fixed asset turnover ratio measures the company's effectiveness in generating sales from
its investment in fixed assets. The graph shows the decline in fixed assets turnover. It means
that the generation of revenue on the fixed assets is declining. The Bank of Punjab is not
using its fixed assets effectively.
Market Ratios
Market ratios are commonly used by the investors to access the performance of a business as
an investment and also the cost of issuing stock.
Note: Bank of Punjab has not paid dividend so this ratio is not calculated
Explanation:
The earnings per share was 13.14 in 2006, which decrease in 2007, and was 10.53. But in
2008 due to loss the dividend per share went in negative its mean that in 2008 shareholders
have to bear a loss.
Price to Earnings Ratio = Market Price per Share / Earning per Share
Year 2010
= 101 / 13.14
= Rs.7.69
Year 2011
= 97.85 / 10.53
= Rs.9.29
Year 2012
= 13.20 / -19.07
= Rs.( -6.50)
Graphic Representation:
Explanation:
The P/E ratio was 7.69 in 2006. In 2007, it increased due to the decline in market price so the
shares of BOP look more attractive in 2007 because the P/E ratio is higher but in 2008 as we
already have seen in DPS and EPS calculation the P/E ratio went in negative. In 2008, BOP
has to bear a loss so the DPS and EPS declined so the P/E ratio was also decreased.

TRAINING PROGRAM.
The bank of Punjab given me the opportunity for internship at regional office Lahore and
give me a chance to explore how the HR practices done in the bank. As internship is a source
of practical training and it made me efficient in competitive business environment. I have
tried my best to use my previous knowledge about HR and I realized that previous knowledge
really prove fruitful.
The credit obviously goes to our faculty members and banks staff who guided me towards
banking system. eight weeks internship in this summer vacations was never favorite news for
all of us. We always consider it an extra burden and hassle in the way of our degree program.
But now when I have completed internship I would greatly appreciate my teachers and course
coordinators who have given this opportunity of learning experience before formally entered
into practical field. This internship has not only made me familiar with working environment
of banking sector but also has boost up my confidence level to enter in any practical field.
WEEK 1:
Audit & maintained leave record:
In the 1st week I maintained leave data of employees of regional office and kept it in file and
register and then update the data on system as well. In this specific task I have maintained
data from Jan 15th to July 31st 2013. I also audit the previous leave record of almost 60
employees and then put it on new register. And finally I prepaid statements of leave record on
their system.
WEEK 2
Maintained employee record & update:
from this task I came to know how many employees is in the bank, whats their ranking and

are two types of training order 1st one is staff order in which there is a list of employees
who are nominated for specific training program. Usually each staff order contain 40 to 50
employees name. 2nd statement is given by OTI named as relieving order. OTI send this to
HR department when training is complete, so that HR department confirms that all employees
who are in staff order list had attended the training session. I update almost 50 statements on
their system.
WEEK 5
Short listing of CVs:
during my internship period BOP is engaged in hiring experienced staff for their new branch
and for this purpose CVs of job candidates are sent to its HR department. I my self short list

Threats is termed as SWOT ANALYSIS.Sucn an Analysis is very important for the
Management in retaining their Strenght, overcoming their Weaknesses, capitalizing over the
Emerging Market Opportunities and carving ways to successfully tackle with the threats and
ultimately converting them in the strengths of the Organization.During my 8 weeks Practical

In my opinion, the following points may be determinable to increase the profitability and also
the Efficiency of the Bank.
Lack of Specialization:
This famous and useful concept given by Adam Smith in 1776 seems to be missing in the
bank. The Employees are constantly rotated from one job to another job of totally different
characteristics in the view of giving them of know-how of working in all the Departments.
But this is not a good tactic by the management
Centralization:
There is a high degree of Centralization. Almost all the decision-making is in the hands of the
Upper-Management located in Karachi. But Centralization is effective up to a certain level
otherwise it becomes inefficient and its time costly.
I personally observe that delay occurred in the Operations of Employees only due to the fact
that they had not any Instructions from The Head Office.
OPPERTUNATIES
The Rise School of Accountancy Mussaret Nazim
INTERNSHIP REPORT
Wholesale/Corporate Banking:
The corporate Bond Market is still in infancy in Pakistan. Few companies such as PTCL,
WAPDA introduced corporate Bonds for General public and received good response but
other companies took no similar initiative. Market for corporate bonds needs to be developed,
as it will offer greater Opportunities to the bank.
Technological Advancement:
Effective use of advance technology represents a major opportunity to an Organization to get
a corporate edge over its rival. It has been the policy of BOP to adopt up-to-date technology
in all its operations, which have helped in efficient servicing, erased limitations of traditional
geographical Markets, and has saved time and energy. Use of Telecommunications,
Computers, Dataaccess and storage Devices; fax Machines, Online Database and software
show that BOP is properly capitalizing on its opportunity.
Market Development:
An Organization offering its products in large number of markets is in a better position to
ensure the better inflow of the economic benefits. Our economy shows huge Opportunities in
different territories of the Country BOP has lots of Branches in the different cities of the
Country and it is continue to opening branches not only in Big cities but in smaller cities as
well to have the convenience of their customers for the use of the ATM Machine.
THREATS
High Charges:
The schedule of charges indicates that fees charged by the bank on the various services it
provides are extremely high. it may result in decrease in the number of its existing
Customers. This could be very alarming situation for the bank in case competitor grasped the
opportunity and lowered the rates. The result will either be the lost of the market share or
decrease in the charges resulting in lowering banks income.
Stiff Competition
BOP is strictly facing fierce competition from the Banks within the country and also the
foreign banks who enjoy a good Market position.
Conclusion
As we know that internship is great tool for getting practical and professional knowledge. Ab
I have learnt lot of professional activities from this branch. I have worked in the various
department, learnt something new from each, explanation about tasks are available in training
program Report portion. After writing comprehensively report on BOP I have reached at this
point, on some aspects, BOP has strength over other banks as you have seen in the SWOT
analysis.
But on the other hand, during my stay at this branch and after write this report, I have found
some issue regarding BOP Promotion activities. BOP do not have a modern marketing
concept as compare to others, due to less participation in promotion activities BOP is facing
low sales or low deposit. Presently now till BOP has adopting tradition activities, but BOP
management cannot know it is age of competitions. As I have written in the critical analysis
BOP HR practice is also very poor. Employee motivation, employee job satisfaction is not up
to the market. BOP has not any sound Performance appraisal system, where employee could
get maximum benefits.
On the other hand BOP needs a good supervision and leadership because the role of
supervisor is very difficult. It requires sound leadership skills and ability to treat all
employees fairly. BOP should teach your supervisors, managers to use positive feedback. I
have also observed BOP is not offering attractive salary to their employees as compare to
other banks. Salary is not a motivator for workers. But they do want to be paid fairly. BOP
has to make sure that it has clear policies regarding to salaries and bonuses.
RECOMMENDATION
During my internship in Bank of Punjab I get some knowledge about banking system. Here,
I deeply observed the functioning of the branch. In the light of these observations, I suggest
the following recommendations for further progress of the Edgerton road branch, these
suggestions are:
Branch Premises:
Branch working environment should be improve and renovated with latest furniture and
interior decoration. External look of the branch is not seemed to be attractive so it should be
clean and well designed. Sufficient seating arrangements for customer is not available here,
so sufficient service area and seating arrangements must be provided for customers.
Staff Behaviour
Staff behavior in term of customer dealing should be uniform for all customers, without any
favoritism and nepotism that discourage the other client.
Lengthy Procedure
The book keeping system and filling system of the bank is so lengthy and time taking. So
staffs document processing time, should be reduced to improve working efficiency through
proper training
Proper Check
During two months of my training, I feel that their cheques payment service and other bills
receiving service is very slow, in this way they deliberately waste the time of their customer.
Therefore, their should be a proper check of manager on them so that then can recognize and
understand their responsibilities.
To Be Conscientious
It is usually observed that staff members waste lot of valuable time while performing their
duties. During my training period, I feel that all staff members make a lot of unnecessary
telephone calls to their relatives while dealing with their customers. In this way they not only
waste a very precious time of their customers, but also waste the wealth of the country. So I
feel that staff members are very irresponsible in performing their duties. So, staff member
should be conscientious.
Other Suggestions
New blood should be injected and young professionals should be recruited on merit to
induce enthusiasm in the bank. Customers should be focus of all activities to boost up
the business.
The workers should be given a sense of teamwork and the manager should be trained
to manage the team as good leader.
There should be a proper check on staff member so that they become punctual and
conscientious.
