INTRODUCTION

Learning and gaining knowledge through studies from an institute and applying that knowledge into an organization are two very different things. During my studies, my main objective was to learn everything that I could so that I could use that knowledge for a better cause in future, like for advancement in career. But when I came to MCB for internship, I observed that it really didnt matter at first what my skills were, what mattered was my behavior and how cooperative I was with all the staff members. Small tasks which didnt really required much skill like making entries in registers and binding the printings of the posting in the files were given to me to check how much was I interested in finishing the tasks that were assigned to me. Once they found me hardworking and determined towards learning, they started assigning me complicated tasks which explained to me the different process going on in the bank. I have divided this report into three chapters. The first chapter explains the introduction of the organization, its products and services, SWOT analysis and the different departments of the branch and their working. The second chapter explains the tasks done by me on weekly basis and finally I have concluded the report with some recommendations for MCB Islamic Banking and IBIT and some of the new things that I learned from my internship.

During my internship in MCB I worked in Remittances, Advances and Operations department and I successfully completed all the task/duties that were assigned to me. During the course of internship I learned about different functions performed by Remittances, Advances and Operations department and bank as a whole. I also learned banks correspondence with their customers and within branches. I learned about documentation requirements and record keeping for different activities and processes.

MCB ISLAMIC BANKING


Islamic Banking Division was formed with effect from 1st January 2003, which in a short span of time, has developed sufficient expertise, necessary infrastructure, information technology, and manpower to run Islamic Banking Operations and offer Islamic Banking Products.

PROHIBITION OR RIBA ACCORDING TO QURAN & HADITH


Riba (Interest) in Quran:

O believers fear Allah and give up that interest which is still due to you if you are true believers; but if you do not do so then you are warned of the declaration of war against you by Allah and His Messenger. If, however, you repent even now (and forgo interest), you are entitled to your principal; do not wrong, and no wrong will be done to you.

SAYING OF HOLY PROPHET

It has been reported by Hazrat Abu Hurairah on the authority of the Prophet, that the Prophet said, Refrain from seven things which are deadly. The companions asked him what these are. He said (i) to associate partners with Allah, (ii) to case spell, (iii) to kill someone without a reason valid in the eye of Allah, (iv) to devour interest, (v) to devour the property wealth of an orphan, (vi) to runaway from the battle field, and (vii) to falsely implicate innocent and chaste women of vulgarity. This saying has been reported by Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawood and Nisai.

DIFFERENCE B/W ISLAMIC & CONVENTIONAL BANKING


CONVENTIONAL BANKING
The functions and operating modes of conventional banks are based on fully manmade principles.

ISLAMIC BANKING
The functions and operating modes of Islamic banks are based on the principles of Islamic Shariah.

The investor is assured of a predetermined rate of interest.

In contrast, it promotes risk sharing between provider of capital (investor) and the user of funds (entrepreneur).

It aims at maximizing profit without any restriction.

It also aims at maximizing profit but subject to Shariah restrictions

It does not deal with Zakat.

In the modern Islamic banking system, it has become one of the service-oriented functions of the Islamic banks to be a Zakat Collection Centre and they also pay out their Zakat.

Lending money and getting it back with compounding interest is the fundamental function of the conventional banks

Participation in partnership business is the fundamental function of the Islamic banks. So the Islamic banks have to understand customer's business very well.

Institute of Business & Information Technology

18

It can charge additional money (penalty and compounded interest) in case of defaulters

The Islamic banks have no provision to charge any extra money from the defaulters. Only small amount of compensation and these proceeds is given to charity. Rebates are given for early settlement at the Bank's judgment.

Very often it results in the bank's own interest becoming prominent. It makes no effort to ensure growth with equity.

It gives due importance to the public interest. Its ultimate aim is to ensure growth with equity.

For interest-based commercial banks, borrowing from the money market is relatively easier

For the Islamic banks, it must be based on a Shariah approved underlying transaction.

Since income from the advances is fixed, it gives little importance to developing expertise in project appraisal and evaluations

Since it shares profit and loss, the Islamic banks pay greater attention to developing project appraisal and evaluations.

The conventional banks give greater emphasis on credit-worthiness of the clients. The status of a conventional bank, in relation to its clients, is that of creditor and debtors

The Islamic banks, on the other hand, give greater emphasis on the feasibility of the projects. The status of Islamic bank in relation to its clients is that of partners, investors and trader, buyer and seller.

SWOT ANALYSIS OF MCB ISLAMIC BANKING


STRENGTHS:
MCB is the first Pakistani privatized bank and because of its quality management, marketing, innovation in products and services. Owing to all such factors it has established a good reputation in the banking market. The name of MCB makes us recall the highly cooperative and professional individuals ready to serve with maximum zeal and zest.

Being an Islamic bank in Pakistan with a reputation of MCB commercial banking gives MCB Islamic Banking an edge over the other Islamic banks, use of over 55 year experience and bundle of resources of conventional banking give MCB Islamic a unique position in the Islamic banking sector.

WEAKNESSES:
The majority of people are not well aware of the products of MCB Islamic banking. Therefore it should advertise extensively because the majority of people do not feel any difference in Islamic banking and conventional banking so it must communicate effectively that how it differs from conventional banking because the target market is those people who do not want to use conventional banking.

Lack of job satisfaction among the employees is another weakness. Currently most employees in the branches are not happy with their jobs especially in Islamic Banking branches. Because these branches are not online and thus the workload has increased.

Institute of Business & Information Technology

20

OPPORTUNITIES:
There are too many people in Pakistan who want to deposit their money in Islamic mode of financing due to their religious points of view. MCB as a bank that offers both conventional and Islamic banking can cater a huge customer market. But for that MCB has to advertise its Islamic banking products effectively so that customer would come to know that that it differs from conventional banking and how it is Halal.

Other than that it has a unique position in Islamic banking. Due to a very good reputation and huge capital of conventional banking, it can also use the good will and experience of conventional banking.

THREATS:
Change in government policies has affected the banking business. Still banks have to wait to get permission of state bank. The freezing of foreign currency accounts is a vital example of letting people not to trust on banks.

The Competition has become severe by the new entrants in the banking sector, so to survive; one will have to prove itself in its services through excellent management and will have to satisfy its shareholders. Otherwise it will be out the market.

In a country like Pakistan where people have very rigid view on banking that it is totally based on interest, it is very difficult to change the views of people regarding Islamic banking. It requires lot of effort and creation of awareness through advertisement.

MURABAHAH
It is an Islamic mode of financing that is used by the bankers to accommodate their customers in the procurement of business inventories and other goods of capital nature. Murabahah can be defined as follows: A contract between a buyer and a seller under which the later first purchases the goods at the request of the former I.e., customer and then sells it to same customer after adding profit. In accomplishing a Murabahah transaction, various relationships between the bank and the customer emerge at different stages of the process which are backed by documentations between the branch and the customer.

First stage:
In the first stage, the customer places the order for purchase of goods/ commodities with the bank and the bank agrees to purchase and sell the same. The relationship thus established is that of promisor and promissee.

Second stage:
During the second stage, the customer is appointed as an agent of the goods/commodities purchased and the relationship of principal and agent is established.

Institute of Business & Information Technology

37

Third stage:
During the third stage of Murabahah process, the bank places order with the supplier and the relationship of buyer and seller is created.

Fourth stage:
During the fourth stage of Murabahah process, goods are delivered to the customer against the recovery of Murabahah price. In this way, the relationship of seller and purchaser is created between the bank and the customer.

Fifth stage:
The fifth stage of Murabahah is related to the creation of Murabahah finance based upon the payment schedule furnished by the customer. The relationship of creditor and debtor is created between the bank and the customer. The tenure of payment is also fixed at this stage. If the bank is not involved in this entire process and if the stages are skipped, it would just be a loan and hence the profit earned would be interest (Riba).

Bai Murabahah:
Bai means the sale of commodity in exchange of money and Murabahah means agreed profit. Bai Murabahah is generally called Murabahah. In this process, the cost of the goods and the profit added thereon is made known to the customer. The payment of Murabahah can be made by the customer either in installments or instantly.

Institute of Business & Information Technology

38

In the process of Murabahah, the bank first acquires the ownership, possession and risk of the commodities and then transfers it to the customer.

MURABAHAH FINANCING:
It can be defined as The sale and purchase transaction in which the customer is given the facility to pay the sale price either in installments or as per agreed schedule or as lumpsum

MODE OF REPAYMENT
There are two modes of repayment in Murabahah.

1. Spot Murabahah:
If the payment is made immediately in cash then it is called spot Murabahah.

2. Deferred Sale Murabahah


If the payment is made on some agreed future date than it is deferred sale Murabahah

PROCESS OF MURABAHAH:
The process of Murabahah includes the following steps 1. Receiving the purchase order form: First of all the bank receives a purchase order form the customer. The purchase order contains the information like: a. YPO number It is the reference number of the commodity being purchased. b. Quantity of the required goods c. Quality of the required goods d. WHT The customer specifies in the purchase order form that whether it pays its WHT directly to the government or wants the bank to pay it on its behalf. e. Value date It is the date at which the customer will make the payment of the expenses. The profit of Murabahah is to be paid to the bank on the maturity of the tenure.

f. Mode of payment to the supplier. The customer also specifies the mode through which he wants the suppliers to be paid e.g. through issuance of PO/DD or direct credit to the account of the supplier. 2. Banks instructions: After receiving an order form from the client, the bank gives an instruction to the client to act as agent on behalf of the Bank for the goods. 3. Confirmation from the customer: A confirmation letter is sent by the client to the Bank that it has received the goods and has found them in accordance with the order. 4. Banks offer to sell: The bank now offers to sell the acknowledged goods at Murabahah sale price to the client. 5. Customers acceptance: The customer accepts the offer of the bank and purchases the goods offered by the bank. The customer agrees to pay the Murabahah price. 6. Murabahah financing: In this step, the calculation of Murabahah profit, Murabahah sale price and schedule of payment is made.

Murabahah Sale Price:


The Murabahah sale price is determined from the following equation. Murabahah sale price= invoice value + Murabahah profit @ + Miscellaneous Exp (Here the invoice value is the cost of the goods purchased, Murabahah profit is the agreed profit rate on Murabahah financing and the miscellaneous expenses include commission on PO/DD, postage charges and FED charges.)

MURABAHAH SALE TRANSACTION


In order to make Murabahah a perfectly legitimate transaction, according to Shariah, the following points are noted: The goods must be permissible under sharia ordered by the customer. The bank purchases these goods establishing its ownership thus transforming money into goods. After purchase of goods the risk is to be borne by the bank until the possession is passed on to the customer through an unconditional sale. The specification of the goods, delivery date, time, price and place as well as other terms of the contract are certain. As per agreed terms with the bank the customer should execute standard documentation and furnish appropriate securities against Murabahah facility. Price / profit once fixed cannot be changed either on premature or overdue repayment. Repayment period once fixed cannot be extended. Rollover of liabilities not permissible. Institute of Business & Information Technology 43

Buy-back or Repurchase of Goods not permissible. Appropriate collateral / securities can be obtained as per mutual consent.

LETTER OF CREDIT
A written undertaking by Bank at the request of the Buyer/Applicant to pay the Seller/Beneficiary a certain sum of money as stipulated in the Letter of Credit, provided that the Seller/Beneficiary complies with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit can be issued under Wakalah contract (agency relationship) and thereafter the goods purchased maybe financed under the Murabahah contract (cost plus).

Types of Letters of Credit:


Revocable:
A revocable letter of credit is one which can be amended or cancelled by the applicant or the issuing bank at any time, without prior notice, discussion or agreement with the beneficiary. A revocable letter of credit offers no protection to the beneficiary and is seldom if ever used.

Irrevocable L/C:
An irrevocable letter of credit can not be amended or revoked without the agreement of ALL the parties to the letter of credit, so it provides the assurance that providing the beneficiary complies with the terms, he/she will be paid for the goods or services. Under UCP 600, a letter of credit is deemed irrevocable unless otherwise stated.

Institute of Business & Information Technology

44

Unconfirmed L/C:
An unconfirmed irrevocable letter of credit provides a commitment by the issuing bank to pay, accept, or negotiate a letter of credit. An advising bank forwards the letter of credit to the beneficiary without responsibility or undertaking on its part except that it must use reasonable care to check the authenticity of the credit which it advised. It does not provide a commitment from the advising bank to pay, so the beneficiary is reliant upon the undertaking of the overseas bank. The beneficiary is not protected from the credit risk of the issuing bank nor the country risk.

Confirmed L/C:
A confirmed irrevocable letter of credit is one to which the advising bank adds its confirmation, makes its own independent undertaking to effect payment, negotiation or acceptance, providing documents are presented which comply with the terms of the letter of credit. The advising bank, which may also be the confirming bank, assumes the country (political and economic) risk of the applicants country as well as the credit risk, failure and default of the issuing bank and effects payment to the beneficiary without recourse. In order for a letter of credit to be confirmed, a bank accepting this risk would have a correspondent relationship with the issuing bank. If the advising bank does not have such a relationship, the letter of credit can be confirmed by an independent bank. The negative aspect here is the cost of adding another bank to the scenario. A seller should consider requesting a confirmed credit when

The credit standing of the issuing bank is unknown to the seller or viewed by the seller as questionable. Exchange controls in the buyers country may prevent local banks from honoring certain external payments.

Institute of Business & Information Technology

45

The importing country is suffering economic difficulties: large external debt and/or high debt service ratios, a persistent negative balance of payments, or a record of being late or having defaulted on its international payments.

Transferable L/C:
Under a transferable letter of credit a beneficiary (the first beneficiary) can ask the issuing/advising/confirming bank to transfer the letter of credit in whole or in part to another party/ies such as supplier/s (second beneficiary/ies). A transferable letter of credit is usually used when the beneficiary is not the manufacturer/original supplier of some/all of the goods/services. This process enables the beneficiary to pay the manufacturer/original supplier by letter of credit. If the bank agrees, this bank, referred to as the transferring bank, advises the letter of credit to the second beneficiary/ies in the terms and conditions of the original letter of credit with certain constraints defined in Article 48 of UCP 600. In general, unless the letter of credit states that it is transferable, it is considered non-transferable.

Revolving L/C:
Although infrequently used today, revolving letters of credit were a tool created to allow companies conducting regular business to issue a letter of credit that could roll-over without the company having to reapply, thus enabling business flow to continue without interruption as long as the terms and conditions, quantities, and other transaction details did not change. In addition, if a letter of credit were a revolving one, there were few ways to stop it from rolling over; so, should a conflict arise between the parties while the letter of credit was in place or should the products change, there was little recourse for either party. In the business world today, the fact is that, unless required by law or because of high risk, ongoing business is usually conducted without of letters of credit

Institute of Business & Information Technology

46

Standby L/C:
As is the case with the revolving letter of credit, standby letters of credit are infrequently used today. A standby letter of credit is one which is issued as a back-up or form of insurance for the seller should the buyer default on the agreed-upon payment terms. A standby letter of credit is issued in the same way a documentary credit is in that the collateral needed for issuance is required by the issuing bank and the beneficiary must comply with every detail as outlined in the letter of credit. The problem with this instrument is that the applicant has no guarantee, other than the sellers word, that the standby will not be drawn against even if payment is made as agreed. This situation is challenging, especially if the letter of credit is confirmed and the advising bank sees only documents pertaining to the shipment as outlined in the letter of credit and has no knowledge of other payments being made.

OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT
There are different jobs which are performed in operations department. I will discuss them one by one.

Clearing of cheques
There are different types of clearing. First we have inward and out ward clearing. Inward clearing means cheques sent by us for collection on the behalf of customer and out ward clearing means cheques issued by our customers and presented for payment through clearing. Within these types we have some more types of clearing.

1. Normal clearing:
It takes 3 days for normal clearing and if we have a cheque of other branch it is known as credit cheque because we have to credit this amount into the customer account and if our cheque is deposited into other bank it would be debited to customer account.

2. One day clearing:


Cheques amounting more then 500,000 are presented into one day clearing. As name shows that these cheque must be cleared within a day. For that NIFT provides a clearing house facility.

3. Inter city clearing:


When the cheque of one bank is deposited to another city for collection it is known as intercity clearing it takes 3 to 4 days for collection. NIFT collects these cheques on behalf of bank.

4. Cheque for collection:


Inter city clearing is available in major cities and where inter city collection is not available we use term cheque for collection. It takes around 1 week for collection of money. Institute of Business & Information Technology 48

Role of NIFT in Clearing


NIFT (National institutional Facilitation Technology) is a State bank authorized institute for clearing of cheques between banks. It is a clearing house for banks for all types of clearing like, intercity clearing, same day clearing and normal clearing.

Steps in Clearing
First of all we have to match the contents of NIFTs list with cheques they provide. All the cheques written in list must be present in the bag. We have to enter all the cheques in our excel sheet to have a summarized record. And in case of any mistake in entering those cheques in MIBS (system used for posting) we can compare this sheet with systems result. Then we have to check the cheques issued by our customers to check for any errors present. It has the fallowing main steps. 1. Amount in words and figures should be same. 2. Cheque should not be more then 6 months old. 3. Stamp of clearing should be placed on every cheque. 4. Signature should match the specimen provided at the time of opening of account 5. Account balance should be more then the value of cheque Difference between clearing inward and outward is transferred to head office account through debit or credit voucher.

Procedure for Dishonor cheques:


If we are going to dishonor any cheque then we attach a list with it containing a reason with it. If the reason is insufficient balance then Rs 300/- are charged to the customer for issuing that cheque. But if bank writes present again or any other reason then there is no fine. For fine we have to prepare a voucher in which we would debit the customer account and credit that amount to cheque dishonor charges account.

Posting of a dishonor cheque in register:


All the cheques presented for clearing into other bank and returned or dishonored must be posted into a register to have a documentary record with the signature of person collecting that cheque back. It is recorded in the following format:

Date

Drawer

Cheque# Date of cheque

Payee

Presented Amount Returned Reason through By

Signature

(A/c holder)

Preparation and usage of CBT:


Currently in MCB two different types of systems are in use, first one is for commercial branches known as Symbols and 2 nd in Islamic branches known as MIBS. Symbols to symbol branches are online but for cross branch transaction for branches using different system we have to transfer funds through advice known as CBT (cross Branch Transfer). We send that through a fax to the other branch for quick adjustment and then in evening we send original advice to the corresponding branch through TCS. Copy A is send through TCS to the corresponding branch, copy B is for customer and C for office use.

How to fill CBT:


First column is originating branch in which we write our branch name and code MCB Ajmal house branch has a code of 1902. To save time we can put a stamp in this column. In responding branch section we write the name and code of branch to which we want to transfer money. Because we are going to transfer the amount to other branch and transfer code is 9881. It should be written in transaction code section. In reference section we would put serial # from register, where we post these CBTS before dispatch. Then we write the date, amount in words and figures. Then we put a stamp contains 2 sections, 1st is Favoring over there we write the name of the person who is going to receive the payment. 2 nd is A/c # of that person. On downward section of copy A we can not write any thing, it is for responding branch. Responding branch would debit our branch A/c and would credit its customer account, which is going to receive that money. Institute of Business & Information Technology 51

On copy B & C in debit section we write the A/c # of person we are transferring his money to other branch and in contra we credit the responding branch.

WORK DONE BY ME
On the first day of my internship, the chief manager gave me a brief introduction of Islamic banking and introduced me to the staff members. I was given a brochure that had the information about Islamic banking, the deposit schemes and the different types of accounts.

During the rest of the week, the process of account opening was introduced to me. I was given an account opening form which I studied thoroughly and learned about the information that is required from the customer. Primary requirements of account opening are: Computerized CNIC Source of income

Verysis:
The bank has authorized itself for the facility of Verysis for the verification of the CNICs of the customers for the purpose of account opening. When a customer wants to open account with MCB, he has to fill the account opening form and attach some documents with it as well. Following information is required from the customer: Title of Account Full Name of Applicant Occupation Address Telephone No. Currency of account Nature of Business (where applicable) Introducers Name, Address & Signatures Special instructions (if any) regarding the account Institute of Business & Information Technology 54

Initial Amount of the Deposit Signature of the applicant

I also studied the KYC (know your customer) form. This form is used to find out the risk associated with the customer that is found through: The citizenship status Geographical address Occupation Political exposure of the person Length of banking history Transaction profile

This form is filled in by the account opening officer. The purpose of this form is the accountability of the customer. The customer is rated as a high risk or a low risk customer in this form.

I studied the account opening files of the different clients to see the documents requirements for different types of customers like individuals, private and public limited companies. As the branch is Corporate and wholesale banking branch, the accounts of different companies are also maintained there.

SUGGESTIONS
I have the following recommendations for MCB Bank limited and MCB Islamic Banking Division. MCB is growing at a fine rate. While doing so it needs to maintain the status of all its branches. The main focus should be to update all old branches to new online branches so that a stronger inter-branch communication is maintained. Awards, appraisals and bonuses should be arranged for the staff as they work beyond the working hours. In Ajmal House branch, this was a normal practice. If the staff is appraised for its services only then they can keep the customers delighted. For the conventional banking sector, MCB is doing very fine marketing of all the available products and services. The Islamic Banking Division has been there since the last six years but no proper marketing is being done for its products and services. The Islamic banking products should be marketed extensively so that their customer base is increased.

NEW THINGS LEARNED


I learned about the different banking processes. Since the branch was for the individual as well as for the corporate clients, this gave me the opportunity to learn the banking requirements of both type of clients. I learned about the importance of customer delightness for a bank. I learned about the different problems that the customers face regarding banking. I learned about how to deal with the day to day operations in a bank and the ways to deal with them efficiently. I learned the importance of interaction with the co-workers that helps to create a better working environment And lastly, I learned that if you want to perform better you have to love your job, only then you can achieve the heights of success.

SUGGESTIONS FOR IBIT


All that I am appraised today is owed to my grooming in IBIT. This institute has given me knowledge and confidence that has helped me to adjust in the working environment of today. But nothing is perfect, so to improve the quality standards of IBIT Id like to give the following recommendations. Most of all, the department needs to spread awareness about its products in the market because most people take our degrees of BBIT and MBIT as degrees in IT and not business studies. This can be done by arranging seminars in the department and inviting people from the market. I would suggest that the strictness in speaking English language should be enforced. This will help to develop confidence in the students for giving presentations and will also help them in their professional lives. Extra-curricular activities like debates, dramas and sports day are regularly arranged by other departments of the university but unfortunately we dont see these things happening frequently in our department. These activities will not only help to keep the students motivated and build confidence in them but will also enhance the image of the department in the university. The capacity of the computer lab cannot accommodate all the students of the department. The students face problems, especially during the preparation of their reports. The capacity of the lab should be enhanced immediately.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IBITians WHO APPLY FOR INTERNSHIP IN MCB


MCB is a great organization to do internship. You get to learn so many things that are routine for the staff but new concepts for you. Since MCBs horizon for the products and services is vast, it is a great opportunity to learn about the diversity of banking procedures in MCB. When you work in a bank like MCB, you understand what it like is to be really dealing with customers face to face daily. The environment in the branch truly represented the whole organization in front of me and all other internees. The tasks that were assigned to me were a great learning experience which I could never get merely through studying books. I would highly recommend MCB for internship for future students of IBIT.

It has 2 copies first for office use and 2 nd carbon copy for the customer. Debit voucher is used to deduct money from the account and credit voucher is use to add money into the account. If we receive CBT favoring any customer of our branch then we have to fill a credit voucher to add money into his account. If we charge any commission or transfer money to other bank on the instruction of bank we have to fill a debit voucher to deduct money from customers account.
