EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

All the students of BS.Com (Hons) of Islamia University Rahim Yar Khan (IUB RYK)
have an essential requirement to do six to eight weeks internship program in any of the
well reputed organization. The objective of this program was to make student familiar
with banking to gain professional approach while working. Moreover, implication of
theoretical knowledge into practical will be made easier.
Internship in Habib Bank was arranged by the job placement cell of the IUBRYK. It was
a very nice practice involving the use of primary and secondary data with comparison to
theoretical knowledge. This report aims to evaluate the key points of this internship
program. Report starts with the topic evolution of banking. The word 'Bank' is said to
have been derived from the words Bancus or Banque. This history of banking is traced to
as early as 2000 B.C. While talking about commercial banking in Pakistan, it was very
difficult for Pakistan to build up its own Banking system immediately after independence
without sufficient resources. By 30th June 1948 the number of schedule banks in Pakistan
declined from mere scratch. Today there are more than 7000 branches of commercial
banks along with an established network of supplementary financial institutions. All this
development in the banking sector is the result of untiring efforts of six decades.
This report contains information about HBL’s board of directors, management, mission,
vision and values. HBL’s operations are discussed in light of its working department in
the branches like cash, clearing, foreign exchange and accounts department and also in
light of its services and products which it is offering to customers regardless the fact that
they are an individual of business, public, corporate or agriculture field related customers.
HBL is currently offering phone banking, internet banking and various cash management
services for the facilitation of its customers. HBL’s car to car loan has its own uniqueness
in Pakistan’s banking sector.
During my internship period in HBL Lahore, I got a chance of working in all different
department of HBL. Duties and learning in each department are given in this report

regarding to the financial performance of the bank in 2009. All the financial indicators
are showing positive results as compared with financial performance in 2008. At the end
of this report I have given my suggestions for the improvement of the bank.

BRIEF DETAIL OF OTHER AREAS
FOREX DEPARTMENT
International trade is growing and with the development of international trade it has
become more imperative. For many countries to devote more attention to their
complicated mechanism of foreign Exchange, It is more important in case of developing
countries. It is the need of time, that a country should conserve its foreign exchange
resources.
The foreign exchange term refers to the principles that determine the rate of exchange. It
covers following three senses:
i. The mechanism or system by which international obligations or indebtedness are
fulfilled.
ii. The currency of one country is exchanged for that of another.
iii. The principles on which the people of world settle their debts to one another.
Letter of Credit:
19
It is a negotiable instrument through which the bank of the exporter deals with bank of
the importer through the guarantee of a bank. There are different parties involved in the
L/C, e-g importer, exporter, importer bank, exporter bank, and advisory bank. LC
involves banking channels in foreign trade to mitigate risk.
The procedure of opening of an L/C is as follow:
The first thing is the Performa invoice. The Performa invoice is a
document (say a clip), which is, sends by the exporter to the importer and includes
the information like. Descriptions of goods, what type of goods you are needed
and what are the quality, rate and originating country etc.
Before to open a L/C the bank also consider that the goods which the
importer is importing is allowed by Govt. of Pakistan or not. It is because that the
importer is not allowed to import those goods which are prohibited by the Govt.
of Pakistan.
The importer is asked to show the membership certificate of any chamber
of commerce and industry affiliated with the Pakistan federation of chamber of
commerce and industry.
Fill the import form of the govt. of Pakistan, which is the proof of this that
there is no objection on the goods, which the customer is importing.
What type of goods you are needed and what are the quality, rate and
originating country etc.

centralized. Cheque book is issued within 15 minute of receiving request from customers
after making necessary register entries and posting stamps on it.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
23
24
25
RATIO ANALYSIS OF THE HBL:
“An index that relates two accounting numbers and is obtained by dividing
one number by other”
Ratio Analysis is an important and age-old technique of financial analysis. It
simplifies the comprehension of financial statements. Ratios tell the whole
story of changes in the financial condition of business. It provides data fro
inter firm comparison. Ratios highlight the factors associated with successful
and unsuccessful firm. They also reveal strong firms and weak firms, over-
valued and under valued firms. It helps in Planning and forecasting. Ratios
can assist management, in its basic functions of forecasting, planning, co-
ordination, control and communication. Ratio analysis also makes possible
comparison of the performance of different divisions of the firm. The ratios
are helpful in decision about their efficiency of otherwise in the past and
likely performance in future. Ratios also help in Investment decisions in the
investors and lending decisions in the case of bankers etc.
Following are the main types of ratios that I am going to calculate in this
report to compare and highlight the financial performance of Habib bank in
2009 with 2008.
Return on Equity Ratio
Return on Assets
Loan to Deposit
26
2010 2009
Return on Equity Ratio
Interpretation:
The past two years data shows an improvement in the return on equity which is a
positive sign. The Bank should have to continue its policies. By observing the audited
account I found that this improvement is due to increase in the Net profit which is good
sign.
2010 2009
Return on Assets
Interpretation:
Return on assets ratio shows an improving trend. This ratio shows that the both the Net
profit and Total Assets has improved in 2010 than 2009. But net profit has increased more
rapidly.
28
2010 2009
Loan to Deposit
Loans/Deposits*100
Advances
434231297 454662499
Interpretation:
Loans to deposit ratio show an increasing trend in 2009 as compare to 2010. This trend is
observed as the advances and deposits both are increasing but advances are decreasing
more rapidly than deposits.

SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS
30
HBL has forged strategic alliances with international banks for expanding
its network further, both locally and internationally.
WEAKNESSES
OPPORTUNITIES
31
An opportunity can be defined as a change in external environment which if properly
exploited with the organizational strengths will result in enhanced sales, market share, or
income. Using its strengths, HBL can avail the following opportunities. Opportunities
require explanation therefore I have used headings instead of arrows.
E-Banking
Generally speaking, three factors, quickness, easiness and cheapness have become the
catchwords for the competitiveness and usefulness of all the business operations.
Particularly it is commonplace today to say that banking is undergoing a radical
transformation. The symptoms are new products, new players, new channels etc. This
transformation is taking place across all sectors of the banking industry. That is why
Habib bank urgently needs to improve their ability, to think strategically about IT
investments. Only those banks that use their technology resources effectively have the
opportunity to secure real competitive advantage in this fast-changing industry through
real product or service differentiation.
Of late markup rates have increased considerably. Present rates are 4% above KIBOR
i.e. 16% appx. High markup rate has decreased the interest of people in loaning from
from banks. Habib bank can increase its income by offering loan at lower interest rate
than other banks.
Online Banking
32
It is doing banking transactions through our home P.C. The banks that do business
through net have Websites. The customer clicks into the Website and gets the history of
the bank. Then he can demand the necessary application form through the net. He fills in
the form and passes it on to the bank. The Online banking is fast gaining ground in
Pakistan. Some software companies are also offering network-banking facilities. So
Habib bank should focus heavily on providing online banking faculties to its customers.
Currently it is doing the same.
Large corporate customers can log into the bank's database and have access to their
accounts/transactions from their business houses. This facility has still not been started
for customers in Pakistan. So Habib can focus on that.
This system is known as "Any Time Money" because it allows customers who have an
ATM card to withdraw money at any time from the bank without interacting with human
teller. Since the ATM machine can be installed anywhere like petrol bunks, markets,
railway stations etc, and can well be linked to the main computer. It allows customers to
transact with the bank 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. They allow the customers to
transfer money to and from accounts to view account information, to receive cash. It can
also be used to deposit cheques and cash into the accounts. No bank in Pakistan is
offering this service currently. So an opportunity exists for Habib bank to differentiate.
Rate of return
33
The range and choice of products available & offered by the commercial banks is limited.
Rates of Return / Profits on Deposits are so low and unattractive that very limited options
are available to the depositors. They do not match the current rate of inflation. HBL
differentiate and increase it is deposit by offering attractive rate of return on deposits.
THREATS
Threat can be defined as a change in external environment which if not met with proper
strategies will result in loss of revenues, market share, or income. In the context of HBL’s
external environment, the following potential threats exist:
SUGGESSIONS
34
As we seen from the previous analysis of the financial statements I have realized that that
Habib Bank is performing very well since its inception. It is quite difficult to give
suggestion to improve the banking conditions Habib Bank Limited. As we know that
nothing is perfect, there is always a room for improvement, so I will recommend
following suggestions for HBL:
Employees Training programmes must be introduced on continuous basis
so that Employees have understanding with the latest developments especially
with the customers.
Bank should introduced incentive plans for employees on regular basis so
that if employees may work whole heartedly for the welfare of their organization.
While giving incentives qualification, work, experience, hard work and such other
factors must be considered.
Mismanagement of resources must be avoided as much as possible as it
decreases profit but also discourage hard worker and honest employees.
Fresh graduates must be recruited. As the combination of Experienced
and fresh can produce better results and it will improve the efficiency of
management.
Habib Bank is going towards mobile banking but the problem is that a
common client has no idea of its usage due to lack of marketing. I think that a
proper marketing programme must be launched for client’s awareness.
Banks different schemes must be conveyed to the targeted customers so
that to have a reasonable share in market.
Bank should help the society by providing interest free loans to the
Talented Students.
Online Banking should be introduced in all the branches.
To motivate the employees their remuneration / salaries should be made at
par with top tier Banks.
35
Aggressive publicity campaign must be introduced through press and
Electronic media for new products and scheme by initiating vigorous marketing
policy.
Bank should adopt such an induction plan that when a customer opens his
account with the bank he should be supplied with a booklet which enables him to
know the procedure of filing the cheques, pay-in-slip etc. It will save a lot of time
of the bank staff afterward during the conduct of the account of that customer.
The attitude of the bankers with all of their customers is not the same; they
pay more attention and good service to some of the customers and neglect a major
portion of them. Some of the customers approach to the bank officials and get
their work done before others; it is not a good practice. All the customers should
be treated equally.
HBL should increase its communication with customers about the terms
and conditions of its different products and services
36
