1.6 Limitation of the study


The report does not contain all the facts and figures about the area under study due to certain limitations. Most of the data related to financial practices is confidential. And thats why access To that information was a difficult task. Another factor is the time limitations. As the internship is of 6 weeks thats why so much time to study all aspects and details havent. Despite of these the report encompasses all the information required.

Chapter 2: Introduction to Banking & Burj Bank LTD:

2.1 Introduction
Banks play very important role in the economic life e of the nation. The growth of the economy is closely related to the soundness of its banking system. Although banks create no new wealth but they borrow, exchange and consume wealth. In this way, they become very effective partners in the process of economic development. Modern banks are very useful for the utilization of the resources of the country. The basic role of the banks is to encourage the habit of savings among the people and to mobilize these savings for the investment purpose. Banks deposit surplus from the public and then advance these surplus in the form of loans to the industrialists, agriculturists, businessmen and unemployed people under different schemes so that they set up their own business. Thus banks help in capital formation. If there are no banks, then there would be concentration of wealth in few hands and the great portion of capital of the country would remain idle. In the fewer developing countries rate of saving is very y low and due to this, rate of investment and rate of economic growth remains very much low. We can take bank just like a heart in the economic structure and the capital provided By it is like blood in it. As long as the blood is in circulation, the organs will remain sound and healthy. If the blood were not provided to any organ then that organ would become useless. So if the finance is not provided to agriculture sector or to industrial sector, it will be destroyed. Loan facility provided by the bank works as an incentive to the producer to increase production. Banks provide transfer of payment facility, which is cheaper, quicker, and safe. Many difficulties in the international payment have been overcome and volume of transactions has been increased. These facilities are very much helpful for the development of trade and commerce. 2.1.1 Banking Industry in Pakistan Banking is one of the fastest growing industries but it is one of the most sensitive businesses all over the world. Banks play very important role in the economy of a country and Pakistan is no exemption. Banks are custodian to the assets of the general al masses. In our lifetime, we use plenty of banking products that were previously not available to the ordinary person. Most of us have Credit cards, loans, and we have the insurances. This has banking a much more competitive Industry and we have the right to expand great services for our custom. The banking sector plays a significant role in a contemporary world of the money and economy. It influences and facilitates many different but integrated economies activities like mobilization, poverty elimination, production and distribution of public finance. If it is purchasing a car or building a home; banks are always play there are serve better. It is play ground or any educational or healthy societal activity the money of banks nurtures them. In an industrial project or agricultural development of the country the sponsor -ship of banks is very much involved. Banks play very important role in the overall economic development of the country. Pakistan Banks Association (PBA) represents the Pakistan Banking Industry. Established in 1953, its main objectives are to coordinate the efforts of the banking industry, and to share common vision of progress and development with its members. Pakistan has a well-developed banking system, which consists of a wide variety of institution ranging from central bank to commercial banks and to specialized agencies to cater for special requirement of specific sectors. The country started without any worthwhile banking network in 1947 but witnessed phenomenal growth in the first two decades. By 1970, it acquired a flourishing banking sector.

2.1.2 Growth of Pakistans Banking Industry Pakistan is a developing country and in the recent year the banking industry in Pakistan has been transformed from state owned sector to vibrant sector industry. Banking industry has not only gained strength from positive inter play of economic and political factors also become an engine of growth for economy. Growth of SMEs in Pakistan is increasing at very rapid pace. SMEs constitute 90% of business in Pakistan. SMEs represents a significant component of Pakistanis economy in term of value. Domestic banks are 7301 and Foreign Banks are 105 Banks in year 2005? Strong monitoring and credit control measures has been made by SBP. There are weak Functional strategies within and among financial institutes, like co-ordination, communication. There is a lack of system to solve the banking crises. The challenge facing the financial sector is transforming the existing interest based system into Riba free system. The Supreme Court of Pakistan has given its verdict and also set the deadline, June 30, 2001, for completing the transformation according to Islamic Conjunction (Shariah). In 2007 economic recession allover world affects all business sectors including banking sector. Therefore growth of banking sector slow due to economic recession and challenges like terrorism as compared to past years.

2.1.3 Banking Law in Pakistan All banks are following a certain law, and they are working under the Banking ordinance 1962 and controlled by State Bank of Pakistan. 2.1.4 State Bank of Pakistan (Central Bank) The guiding principal of State Bank which is the central bank of Pakistan is that, it acts only in the public interest and for welfare of the community as a whole and without regards to profits a primary consideration. As all the banks are following the defined set of rules and procedures (SOPS) standard operating procedures, same as Burj Bank LTD limited is also doing so while dealing with accounts, cash, remittance, clearing, finance, auto loans etc. as if any one doesnt follow the rules then future of the bank can be in wild darkness.

2.2 Banks in Pakistan


There are three types of banks, serving in Pakistan as; Government banks Private Banks, and Foreign banks 2.2.1 Government banks The period of 1990s took a revolution in the sectors of privatization, deregulation and restructuring in the domestic banking industry and financial institutions. The Muslims Commercial Bank was the first bank to privatize. One good thing for the particular period was the recruitment of the fresh officers in the domestic banking industry through well- organized policies of the Banking Council. Government banks include; NATI ONAL BANK OF PAKISTAN (NBP) FI RST WOMEN BANK LIMITED (FWB) THE BANK OF PUNJAB (BOP) THE BANK OF KHYBER (KM)

2.2.2 Private Banks The Government of Pakistan per mitted small private sector banks to operate, which indulged in doubtful policies to promote business. These banks include; ALLIED BANK PICIC COMMERIAL BANK LIMITED MUSLIM COMMERIAL BANK LIMITED UNITED BANK LIMITED BANK AL-FALAH LIMITED UNION BANK LIMITED ASKARI COMMERIAL BANK LIMITED MY BANK LI MITED SAUDI PAK BANK COMMERIAL LIMITED SAUDI PAK BANK COMMERIAL LIMITED BANK AL HABIB LIMITED

2.2.3 Foreign Banks Due to the policies by Pakistani Government, many foreign banks are getting influenced and started entering into the business in Pakistan, as the economic condition and SOPS by bank and Pak government is favorable for new entrants but this has reduced the profitability of the local banks. Foreign banks include; CITI BANK STARDARD CHARTED BANK ABN AMRO BANK HONG KONG SHANGHI BANKING CORPORATION (HSBC) DUBAI ISLAMIC BANK NIB BANK, etc All the foreign banks of the country are busy to invest heavily in the field technology and e- commerce in order to overcome branch limitation. All the domestic and foreign banks vigorously institutionalizes consumer financing in the country and earned handsome profits.

A) Individual Accounts Individual accounts are the account, which is opened and operated by a single person. Before opening the account bank sees proper identity and introduction of the individual. Individuals instructions are strictly observed in operation of the account. B) Joint Account Two or more persons who are neither partner s nor trustees can open this type of account. At the time of opening account specials instructions are taken by the account holders that who is going to operate the account they are asked whether it will be operated singly or jointly and to whom the balance will be transferred at the death of an account holder on the basis of either or survival.If the joint account holder wishes to delegate their authority to operate on the account to an outside party all the joint parties should sign this authority. C) Partnership Account Partnership accounts are opened in the name of the business e.g. M/S ABC Electronics etc. for opening of this account a partnership deed NIC required. Bank staff acquires special instructions by all partners for the operation of the account. Partnership account can only be opened in the form of a current account D) Minor Account The contract act 1872 has disqualified a minor from entering into a contract except the one for his necessities. According to Pakistan Law a person is regarded as a minor until he has attained The age of 18 years. However under section 3 of majority act 1875 if a competent court of law appoints a guardian of his person or property before his 18 years the majority extends to the age of 21 years. Bankers in Pakistan have allowed the opening of minors account only with the idea Of inculcating in them the habit of saving. So guardian requests in the name of the minor for opening of an account. There are other accounts, which are called specialized accounts. These are given below. F) Joint stock account Accounts of clubs, societies and associations Agent accounts Executors and administrators accounts Pak rupee non-resident account

3.2.2 Procedures for account opening In order to operate an account with the bank, a customer has to open an account. In large branches Grade 1, II or III officers is made responsible for opening new accounts. However in small branches, the manager himself fulfills all the formalities for opening new accounts. It is necessary because in case of fraud unintended over draft, or negligence, the bank will have a source to trace out the customer. Such source is established by asking the customer to bring an existing customer of the bank that will introduce him to the bank. In order to protect against losses resulting from fraud or unintended overdraft the account opening activity has been formalized through certain steps. These steps include Formal Application: Customers are required to fill in the prescribed account opening form, which the bank provides to the customers free of cost. In this basic information about himself is provided by the customer like his name, address, occupation and nature if account he wants to operate. Obtaining introduction: Introductory references are quid pro quo for opening the account. For this it is necessary that an existing customer verify the authenticity of the facts provided in the account opening form. Specimen Signature: The customer gives the banker a specimen signature generally taken on a card specially designed for this purpose. Name of the customer and account number are entered on it. This specimen signature is used later on by the bank to verify the signature on cheques drawn on the bank by comparing these signatures on the card and the other on the cheques.

13

Minimum Initial Deposits: The customer has to make a certain minimum deposits to open an account. However, later on customer can withdrawn part of this amount but must maintain minimum deposits to avoid closure of the account or service charges. Operating the Account: When the account is opened banker customer relationship is established. The customer in order to be able to operate the account is given the following documents: Pay-In-Slip Book: This book is issued to the customer containing slips upon which money is deposited. Each slip contains blank spaces for amount, account number, date, depositor signature and name of the account holder. Cheque Book: The customer to withdraw the money from the bank uses Cheque book. Cheque book consists of 10, 25, 100 leaves. When new cheque book is required by the customer he has to fill in the cheque book requisition slip with two signatures on it and give it to the concerned officer who on verification of the signature will issue new cheque book.

Qualification of the Customer: The relation of the banker and the customer is purely a contractual one. Therefore any person who is capable of entering into a contract according to the Section 11 of the contract Act 1872 can be a customer. However the following qualifications are necessary for a person to become a customer. He must be of the age of majority He must be of sound mind He must not be disqualified under any law. 3.2.3 Remittances Department One of the important functions of a bank is to transfer funds for customers from one location to another. Remittances department deals with the transfer of money for customer from one bank to another or from one branch to another. Instrument used by the Burj Bank LTD for remittances includes: Telegraphic transfer Demand draft Mail transfer Pay order a) Telegraphic Transfer Telegraphic transfer is one of the quickest modes of transferring funds. It is an electronic system of transfer ring funds that is why it is used by most of the businesses for the purpose of transferring funds. b) Demand Draft A draft is just like an order cheque. A draft is drawn by one branch of a bank upon the other branch of the same bank. The late down procedure is that the sender has to fill the beneficiary name, account number and his name in the form. After the deposit DD is given to the customer and transaction is registered in the issuing register and an advice is sent to the branch to which the DD is sent. It is common mode of fund transfer. It is different from telegraphic transfer and in sense that funds are not immediately to the collecting branch and the receipt of the branch. The collecting branch will credit the account of the beneficiary at the receipt of advice from the Paying branch. Demand draft can be open, which can be cashed at cash counter after properly identifying the true beneficiary, or crossed which can only be cashed by crediting is to the account of the beneficiary. c) Mail Transfer Mail transfer (MT) is same as Demand Draft, but the characteristic which makes it different from Demand Draft that in case of demand draft bank physically hands the DD to the customer And upon presenting the draft the amount can be withdrawn. But as regards the mail transfer one Branch sends instruction to the other branch ordering it to the credit the amount to the account of the person in whose favor the amount is deposited. d) Pay Order Pay order is the most convenient, simple and secure way of transfer money. It is just like demand draft except that pay order is made for local order of money where as demand draft is meant for remittances of funds from one city to other. 3.2.4 Cash Department Cash department basically handles cash receipts and cash payments. The procedure for which is given below a) Receipts Cash department receives money from customers for crediting it to their respected accounts for which then used for paying their bills or remitting to their creditors and suppliers as the case may be. When depositing cash the client fills the prescribed form of pay and slips wherein he provides basic information like the amount to be deposited, date, account nature and number etc. then he hands over the form and paying slip along with the money to the cashier to the counter. The cashier signs and stamps the form or paying slips and returns one copy of the same to the depositors. After the hours, all pay and slips to the computer section, which credits the same, their respective accounts. b) Payments

14

When bank receives money from customer s, it undertakes to repay the same upon demand. The money can be withdrawn through cheques, drafts or pay orders. However before making payments, bank satisfies itself that the instrument is valid and there is sufficient balance in the customer account to support the payment. For making payments the procedure followed. Cheque is first presented to token clerk. Token clerk notes down date, amount on the cheque, and account number in token register, assign token number to cheque on the back of it gives token to the customer and then forwards the cheque to an officer to the check the signature and verify it with signature on specimen card which the customer signed at the time of opening the account.

The cheque is then forwarded to the computer department for verification of the balance. The cheque is then forwarded to the cashier who makes payment to person who presents the token. The process may differ from what mentioned above depending the nature of cheque. A cheque is defined as written order of a depositor to pay to or to order of a designated party or bearer, a specified sum of money on demand. 3.2.4.1 Kinds of cheques Basically there are three types of cheques. They are as follows. Bearer cheque: It is en cashable at the counter. Payments of the cheque can be made to any people who present it to the bank. Order cheque: It is also en cash able on the counter. But its holder must satisfied the banker that he/she is true holder and entitled to collect the payment of the cheque for this he/she has to prove his/her identity through an existing account holder of the bank. Crossed cheque: It is not en cash able on the counter. It can only be credited to the Payees account. If there are two persons having accounts at the same bank and one of account holder issues cross cheque in favor of the other then the cheque will be credited To the account of the person to whom the cheque was issued at debited from the account of the person who had issued the cheque.

Chapter 4: Analysis
4.1 SWOT Analysis
In past the organizations were limited to their own performance and outputs, they only consider what they get and what they lose, with the emergence of management studies and globalization now the organization cannot survive until they competes with their surroundings and then Internationally. World has set some standards for organizations so each and every organization have to look what is happening around? Todays organizations are perplexed with the phenomena of intense competition. It has become imperative for them to be taking guard for their survival. So in search for excellence it is the critical self-appraisal which is attached so much importance. Even in mundane affairs of life, introspection is necessary even at the individual level. Every sagacious person examines his conduct critically in relation to his environment. And then pauses, looks, transform and conform To what is required. If he doesnt he is lacking sagacity and world tells him emphatically. When we come towards organization then it is the question of its very survival. It is a practice, which is indispensable for future growth. There are many techniques to analyze the organizations performance i.e. input/ output analysis, pest analysis, SWOT analysis etc. SWOT analysis is kind of tool that is used to analyze an organizations performance in relation to its environment external or internal opportunities and threats. Strategy analysis and selection of the best alternative is of critical importance and prime responsibility for any organizations management. Management has to go through extensive internal and external analysis to determine their organizations performance in relation to their mission and objectives.

The SWOT analysis of Burj Bank LTD is as follows.

4.1.1 Strengths Advantages of religious proposition in a country made on name of Islam i.e. Pakistan. Competitive advantage: Less marketing is required than conventional banking and better cost control as a result. Morale and commitment to serve is higher among bankers and staff due to religious value. Huge amount of savings can be mobilized and thus boosting the deposit base of banks using charities and Zakat fund schemes, etc. Less use of money for speculative purposes thus chances of investment failure and much volatility in investment is reduced. Innovative aspect is also found in it, using phone banking, e- banking, etc. A blend of tradition and modern life can be easily served to customers. Location wise & geographically, it is feasible and operational all across the country, as Pakistan is 98% Muslim population country scattered in all nooks of national territory. Quality of services will not less than conventional banking services so a competitor to established banking (interest based) in same market.

4.1.2 Weaknesses Lack of standardization across the Muftis /scholars of the country and among the scholars and bankers. Disadvantage of proposition is that there would be a hesitant and new thing not fully accepted / suited to World Bank, ADB, and other multinational donor agencies to invest through banking sector in country. A lot of capital is needed to boost it in front of conventional banking, and also huge reserves have to be maintained, to meet any loss sharing situation in Islamic finance modes of investment. Time/season factor becomes a major problem in case of Islamic banks, as people would Like to shift their money from Zakat deductible accounts or they wish to pay their Zakat from Halal funds during Ramadan or on Eid festivals, etc. creating short term liquidity problems for the banks. There are differences in theory and practice of Islamic banking in Pakistan to some extent creating an inherent weakness. Management and staff need further training to serve Islamic financial services and relevant experience as well to done their job efficiently. Value chain management will become a major hurdle to Islamic Halal funds of Islamic banks, as it will need Islamic money and call money markets, investment opportunities with pure Halal businesses, Islamic equity market (instead of stock market), etc.

4.1.3 Opportunities More opportunities now lie in Islamic banking as it has been accepted by BASEL, WB, ADB, international agencies, multinational corporations, non Muslim governments, etc.

With creation of big sukuk And Islamic deposit base in Gulf and Malaysian regions

Traditional interest based banking will have to defend through heavy marketing and Advertising in Muslim countries which off course reduce their profitability. Islamic banking is a complete solution to economic and to some extent social needs of Muslims from House building to education in addition to conventional help in commerce, business and industry. and information age, thus it is naturally blended with tools of internet, and computer based banking, and will witness a sharper growth than traditional banking growth of last 500 year s. New markets have been emerged with growth of Islamic banking as well: Islamic mortgage, Islamic insurance, new investment projects etc. In non-Muslim countries, like France where Muslim are in minority ( around 10%) of population, Islamic banking will enjoy the benefit of niche marketing and if properly targeted will obtain better results.

4.1.4 Threats A lot of legislation is required for Islamic banking worldwide and especially in non- Muslim countries; even in Pakistan some legal loopholes are present in its proper implementation. Comprehensive Islamic economic and banking models have yet to develop or they are not in their maturity stage to provide a blueprint of economic development and prosperity. IT developments and Research in latest Banking are in non-Muslim countries where conventional interest based banking have a very strong position thus Islamic banking will enjoy latest tools of IT, but lesser than conventional banking. Environment for Islamic banking in west has been declined after 9/11 attacks on WTC, New York and later Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H.) protests in Muslim world, widening the gaps between the western investors and Islamic banking markets. Market demand is good but very less as compared to conventional interest based banking throughout the world, i.e. beyond some countries. Sustainable financial backing by large multinational firms, investment banks, and World major economic powers is lacking.

4.2 CONCLUSION
Burj Bank Ltd is an Islamic bank in Pakistan. The mission of Burj Bank Ltd is to introduce Islamic banking in Pakistan and globally. They can work under leadership of Islamic Banking rules. This internship experience has been very much informative for me as it helped me in numerous ways like in learning new things and ideas about official environment and now I have the knowledge and experience of working in office environment I have realized my abilities and expertise of working in that kind of environment. Internship is a supervised pre-professional career related experience paid or unpaid, part or full time, with measurable learning objectives, formal evaluation. And it is requirement for MBA degree. The branch manager is usually given very little regarding sanction of advances and over draft whereas the responsibilities are numerous. I can study and make analysis on year 2010-11 annual report of Burj Bank LTD. Its fifth annual report of that bank but till yet bank is going in loss. There may be different reasons behind that bank is newly being opened and they can offer Islamic mode of financing. The branch yet not stared financing, that problem same as different cities with Burj Bank LTD branches. The mobilization of deposits is mainly considered as the responsibility of the branch manager but the rest of the staff is usually least interested The bank has been applying he modern concepts of management and marketing at both micro levels. The interior and exteriors of the branch have been changed but the staff of the branch has been found less motivated towards the organizational objectives. The decision making is still centralized as the middle and low level management is not taken into confidence. The promotional policy of the bank was observed as without any specific direction. Though the bank has defined its mission and vision but no specific plan has been designed so far. The bank staff has been found as less satisfied with bank policies and the recent retrenchment in the bank has created unrest and panic. The relationship between the employees of the branch is not that good because of which the whole environment of the branch becomes less favorable for work. Miss utilization of office utilities, especially the telephone.

4.3 RECOMMENDATION
The branch manager should arrange a training program for its existing employees to help them perform their duties more effectively. The branch manager can start financing in there branch with their existence capital.
20

There should be a proper platform provided to its employees from where they can help the management in achieving its objectives. The branch should try to enter into the new markets for Islamic banking it would increase its competitive edge over the other branches in the region. The bank should appoint customers relation officer where the volume of work is too high. This will give an impression to client for personal Banking. This will help in improving the image of the bank and hence will attract more clients. An Automated Teller Machine should be placed in the branch because during my internship I found many customers complaining for the ATM machine. Burj Bank Ltd is not very well known bank in the market. Their market standing is not as strong as their competitors. For this Burj Bank Ltd should opt for heavy advertisement both electronically and on print media to create public awareness. This product Business Power is suffering because of this reason as well. The bank must ensure the participation of the staff in all promotional activities of the bank to this end the bank must adhere to the policy of fringe benefits rapid promotion of capable management and official. The old age benefit of the bank employee must be increased to motivate fee staff.
