INTRODUCTION OF BANKING SECTOR

The word 'Bank' is said to have been derived from the words Banca or Banque or
Bank. This history of banking is traced to as early as 2000 B.C. Banking in fact is
primitive as human society, for ever since man came to realize the importance of money
as a medium of exchange, the necessity of a controlling or regulating agency or
institution was naturally felt. The priests in Greece used to keep money and valuables of
the people in temples. These priests thus acted as financial agents. The origin of banking
is also traced to early goldsmiths. They used to keep strong safes for storing the money
and valuables of the people. The first stage in the development of modern banking, thus,
was the accepting of deposits of cash from those persons who had surplus money with
them.

The goldsmiths used to issue receipts for the money deposited with them. These
receipts began to pass from hand to hand in settlement of transactions because people had
confidence in the integrity and solvency of goldsmiths. When it was found that these
receipts were fully accepted in payment of debts; then the receipts were drawn in such a
way that it entitled any holder to claim the specified amount of money from goldsmiths.
A depositor who is to make the payments may now get the money in cash from
goldsmiths or pay over the receipt to the creditor. These receipts were the earlier bank
notes. The second stage in the development of banking thus was the issue of bank notes.

The goldsmiths soon discovered that all the people who had deposited money
with them do not come to withdraw their funds in cash. They found that only a few
persons presented the receipts for encashment during a given period of time. They also
found that most of the money deposited with them was lying idle. At the same time; they
found that they were being constantly requested for loan on good security. They thought
it profitable to lend at least some of the money deposited with them to the needy persons.

This proved a profitable business for the goldsmiths. They instead of charging safe
keeping charges from the depositors began to give them interest on the money deposited
with them. This was the third stage in the development of banking.

At the time of independence, there were 631 offices of scheduled banks in


Pakistan, of which 487 were located in West Pakistan alone. As a new country without
resources it was very difficult for Pakistan to run its own banking system immediately.
Therefore, the expert committee recommended that the Reserve Bank of India should
continue to function in Pakistan until 30th September 1948, so that problems of time and
demand liability, coinage currencies, exchange etc. be settled between India and Pakistan.

The non-Muslims started transferring their funds and accounts to India. By the
end of June 1948 the number of officers of scheduled banks in Pakistan declined from
631 to 225. There were 19 foreign banks with the status of small branch offices that were
engaged solely in export of crop from Pakistan, while there were only two Pakistani
institutions, Habib Bank of Pakistan and the Australian Bank. The customers of the bank
are not satisfied with the uncertain condition of banking. Similarly the Reserve Bank of
India was not in the favor of Govt. of Pakistan. The Govt. of Pakistan decided to establish
a full-fledge central bank. Consequently the Governor-general of Pakistan Quaid-I-Azam
inaugurated the State Bank of Pakistan on July 1, 1948. Thus a landmark was made in the
history of banking when the state bank of Pakistan assumed full control of banking and
currency in Pakistan. The banking structure in Pakistan comprises of the following types.

 State Bank of Pakistan


 Commercial Bank of Pakistan
 Saving banks
 Cooperative banks
 Specialized credit institutions

BZU, Sub-Campus Sahiwal 4


Muslim Commercial Bank Limited

Commercial banks have been the most effective mobilizers of savings and have been
providing short-term requirements of working capitals to trade, commerce and industry.

Up to December 31, 1973, there were 14 Pakistan commercial banks that functioned
all over the country and in some foreign countries through a network of branches. All
these commercial banks were nationalized in January 1, 1974, and were recognized and
merged into the following five banks:

 National Bank of Pakistan


 Muslim commercial bank limited
 Habib Bank Limited
 United Bank Limited
 Allied Bank of Pakistan

The state bank of Pakistan is the Central bank of the country and was established
on July 1, 1948. The separation of East Pakistan and its repercussion in the form of
economic depression has caused a lot of difficulties to the banking system in Pakistan.
The network of bank branches now covers a very large segment of national economy.
The numbers of branches have increased appreciably and there is now on branch of bank
for every 3000 heads of population approximately. There is done reasonable growth in
deposits from the establishment of Pakistan. Besides this growth, specialized credit and
financial institutions have also developed over the years.

The Government of Pakistan in the late 90’s introducing the need for the
privatization of state owned banks and companies. The private sector has accepted the
challenge and most of the banks are privatized today. The State Bank of Pakistan issues
the shares of these periodically. Bank employees and other common peoples can also
purchase these shares and earn profit. Throughout the period of banking history the banks
have been expanding rapidly and achieved the desired goal of progress.

THE MUSLIM COMMERCIAL BANK LIMITED

History

MCB was founded by I SFHANI and ADAMJEE families in Calcutta on July 9,


1947. MCB is not an overnight success story rather good track of services are responsible
for the leaps and bounds progress. After the partition of the Indo-Pak Subcontinent, the
bank moved to Dhaka from where it commenced business in August 1948. In 1956, the
Bank transfer red its registered office to Karachi, where the Head Office is presently
located. Thus, the bank inherits a 52-year legacy of trust in its customers and the citizens
of Pakistan.

The performance of MCB was badly affected by bureaucrat government. In


January 1974, MCB was nationalized by Bhutto Government following the bank act 1974
afterward in June 1974 Premier Bank Limited merged with MCB.

Privatization

When privatization policy was announced in 1990, MCB was the first to be
privatized upon recommendations of World Bank and IMF. The reason for this choice
was the better profitability condition of the organization and less risky credit portfolio
which made'' it a good choice for investors. On April 8th, 1991, the management control
was handed over to “Nishat Group” (the highest bidders). Initially only 26% of shares
were sold to private sector at Rs. 56 per share.

MCB besides being money financial organization have rendered invaluable


services in the economics and social developments of our country. MCB today,
represents a bank that has grown with time, experience and Pakistan. A major financial
institution, in scope and size, it symbolizes a fully-grown tree. Evergreen, Strong, and
firmly rooted.

REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT

In remittance department I have learned all related work to the remittance under
the supervision of Mr. Iqbal Hussain Siddiqui. Remittance department performs the
function of remitting funds i.e. to transfer funds for customers from one location to
another. The transfer of funds may be from one branch to another or from one bank to
another. It is an important service provided by banks to customers as well as non-
customer s. Since it is not a free service it is a source of income for the bank.

Parties involved in Remittance

Four Parties involved in remittance that are:

BZU, Sub-Campus Sahiwal 30


Muslim Commercial Bank Limited

Remitter

One who initiates, or requests for a remittance. The bank charges him a
commission for this service. He may or may not be the branch’s customer.

Remit tee

A Remit tee is also called the beneficiary, or the payee. The person in whose
name the remittance is made. A Remit tee is also the one who receive the payment.

Issuing Bank

The bank that sends or effects the remittance, through demand drafts, telegraphic
transfers, or Mail Transfers.

Paying Bank

Paying Bank also knows as the drawee branch. The branch from where the
instrument is drawn.

Types of Remittance

Remittance is classified into following four types:

Inward remittance: instruments received for payment


Outward remittance: issuing instrument to the responding branch.
Inland remittance: with in same country.
Foreign remittance: from one country to another country.

BZU, Sub-Campus Sahiwal 31


Muslim Commercial Bank Limited

Instrument used in Remittance

 Pay Order
 Demand Draft
 Telegraph Transfer
 Mail Transfer
 Bank Draft

Pay Order

When a branch situated in Islamabad is required to send the draft to any other
branch situated in the same locality, the process will say to be within locality. i.e. MCB
corporate branch Islamabad, send any draft to MCB Main Civic Centre branch, this is
known as within locality. Pay order is used for payment within the cities; the main
purpose of pay order is to make payment in record this payment in the bank as evidence.
Bank charge the commission for its services. The purchaser fill an application form,
which includes the amount of payment or order, the name of the payee and complete
address of purchaser and payee application form is also singed by the purchaser.

Demand Draft

The instrument used to transfer fund outside the city is demand draft i.e. MCB
Main Civic Centre branch Islamabad, sent any draft to a branch situated in Peshawar city.
DD is a written order given by the branch of the bank on behalf of the customer to other
branch of the same bank to pay the certain amount to the customer. DD are issued for the
particular place other than place of issuance. DD applicant or recipient, who might not be
an A/C holder present it to another bank at a different place requesting it to pay on
demand a specified amount of money which is already received to the person named on
it.

BZU, Sub-Campus Sahiwal 32

Telegraphic Transfer (TT)

TT is fund that is transferred electronically which is remitted on the order of a


certain person. In this case the authority is given from one bank to other on the behalf of
the customer through telecommunication to debit their inter office account through them
and credit their parties account mentioned in TT.

But it is not practiced these days frequently. Now a day, new technology is used
for this purpose i.e. fax, e-mail. The big traders and businessman use this method of
remittance in this method of remittance the purchaser is not responsible for the dispatch.

Mail Transfer

Mail transfer draft is one of the bank modes of remittance. Mail transfer is issued
by one branch of bank to another branch of the same bank by instructing to branch to pay
the other branch by issuing mail transfer receipts.

In M.T the purchaser is not responsible for dispatch, but the bank will be
responsible for dispatch.

Bank Draft

Bank draft is the most important type of remittance. Draft is an instrument issued
by a bank. Draft is issued by one branch to another branch out of the city. The difference
branches of same bank can issue the bank draft to each other and it is also called the
banker cheques i.e. the main branch of MCB in Islamabad issued the draft to the MCB
Peshawar.

CLEARING DEPARTMENT

In clearing department I have learned inward and outward clearing under the
supervision of Mr. Ehsaan Malik. Managing clearing is a system by which banks
exchange cheques and other negotiable instruments drawn on each other within a specific
area and thereby secure payment for their clients through the Clearing House at specified
time in an efficient way.

Clearing House

It is a place where cheques are presented, collected from bank branch. It is one of
the services provided by NIFT to other commercial banks. NIFT acts as a clearing house.

NIFT

NIFT stands for Nat ional Institutional Facilitation Technologies. Clearing House
of SBP has shifted a tiresome part of its work to a private institution named NIFT. NIFT
collects cheques, demand drafts, Pay orders, Travelers Cheques, etc. from all the
branches of different banks within city through its carriers and send them to the branches
on which these are drawn for clearing. After the branches approve the instruments drawn
on them, NIFT prepares a sheet for each branch showing the number for instruments and
amount in its favor and drawn on it and sends it to each branch. A similar sheet for each
bank is also sent to clearing house of SBP where accounts of banks are settled in the
same manner.

Learning in the Clearing Department


 Procedure of clearing a cheque
 Checking of cheques
 Inward and outward clearing
 Different reasons of returning a cheque

BZU, Sub-Campus Sahiwal 34


Muslim Commercial Bank Limited

Procedure of clearing a cheque

Instrument collected are treated as Transfer, Transfer Delivery, Clearing and


Chaeque Collection.

Inspection of Cheques

When the instruments are collected from the client. Following things are included
to check it:

 Cheque date, instrument should be neither stale/ nor post-dated.


 Title of Account
 Amount in figures and words should be the same
 There should be no cutting and overwriting on the cheque
 Instrument should not bear any unauthorized alternation.
 Cheque is crossed.

Transfer:

When the instruments are collected and paid by the same branch, it is called transfer.

Transfer Delivery

When instruments are collected and paid by two different branches of the same
bank situated in the same city, it is called transfer delivery. A cheque is processed under
transfer delivery when it has crossing stamp and is from local branch of MCB

BZU, Sub-Campus Sahiwal 35


Muslim Commercial Bank Limited

Clearing

Instruments which are drawn on the branches of some other bank of the same city
or of the same area, which is covered by a particular clearing house, are processed for
clearing.

In outward clearing when cheque is received two copies of voucher SF-37 are
prepared, one copy and instruments along with clearing stamp, realization stamp, add list
and two vouchers of clearing summary are sent to NIFT in a sealed bag. And clearing
records are recorded in clearing register. In Inward clearing instruments received from
NIFT are posted in Computers after checking.

Cheque Collection

When cheque is from another city then it is grouped as C.C. Such instrument are
processed as cheque fro collection. In this procedure SF-37 form is used in Cheque
collection. Original voucher with cheque, stamped as C.C along with C.C number is sent
to main branch of the responding city which is further sent to NIFT. Whereas Carbon
copy with Pay-In-Slip is taken by bank for record purposes.

Pay In Slip

It is used for two purposes:

Whenever we want to deposit cash in our account then pay-in-slip is used by


writing amount on it and depositing it to cashier along with money.

Whenever we have cheque from any party to be collected in our account we fill pay-in-
slip. One part is attached with cheque and another is given to cheque holder as a receipt.

BZU, Sub-Campus Sahiwal 36


Muslim Commercial Bank Limited

Reason of return cheque

In inward clearing sometimes cheques are not passed due to some reasons then cheques
are sent back to NIFT along with cheque return memo. Some of these reasons are:

 Cheque incomplete
 Clearing stamp required
 Drawer’s sign incomplete
 Drawer’s sign different from specimen
 Post Dated
 Payment stopped by drawer
 Amount in words and figur es differ
 Insufficient funds etc.

OTHER DEPARTMENTS

There are some other departments where I have spent few days in each section to gain
experience about that department, these department are:

 Cash Department
 Advances/Credit Department
 Foreign Exchange Department

Cash Department

The cash department is the most important department of the bank. In cash
department both deposits and withdrawals go side by side. This department deals with
cash deposits and payments.

BZU, Sub-Campus Sahiwal 37


Muslim Commercial Bank Limited

The following books are maintained in the Cash Department:

 Cash Receipt Book


 Cash Payment Book
 Cash Balance Book

The officers in this department are called teller and there were 2 tellers Mr. Waqar
and Mr. Nizami at the counter. This department is involved in two activities: Cash
Deposits, Cash Payments.

Cash Receipt Book

The cashier is responsible to receive both the paying- in-slip and cash from the
depositor. For depositing the cash into customer’ accounts, there is need to fill in the
paying-in-slip giving the related details of the transaction. The cashier check the
necessary details provided in the paying- in-slip and accounts the cash and tallies with the
amount declared in the slip then cashier fills in the Cash voucher received Record Sheet
and assigns a voucher no. to both the transaction being made in the sheet and the slip.
The 2nd cashier posts the transaction entries in computer ledger. After posting these
entries, computer display before posting balance and after posting. Cashier assigns the
stamp POSTED on the voucher to show voucher transaction entries are posted.

Cash Payment Book

The only instrument that can be used to withdraw an amount from an account is
the Cheque book. No payments are made by another instrument. When cheque is valid in
all respects, the cashier enters the necessary inputs in the computer and posts the entry so
that account balance is updated. When cashier posts these entries, computer automatically
display the balance before posting the transaction amount, balance after posting.

BZU, Sub-Campus Sahiwal 38


Muslim Commercial Bank Limited

The cashier at the same time maintains the Cash Voucher Received Record Sheet.
Then inspects the signature of the customer, cancellation mark of checking officer and
stamp of POSTED is placed on cheque before he hands over the cash to customer.

Cash Balance Book

At the end of the working day cashier is responsible to maintain the cash balance
book.
The cash book contains the date, opening balance, detail of cash payment and received in
figures.

The consolidated figure of receipt and payment of cash is entered in the cash book
and the closing balance of cash is drawn from that i.e.

Opening Balance of Cash + Receipts - Payments = Closing Balance

Advances/Credit Department

Different banks provide loan facility to general public, companies etc. but MCB
provides two types of loans that are as under:

 Funds Base Loan


 Non-Fund Base Loan

Funds Base Loan

In this type of loans cash is directly involved. Bank provides loans in shape of
cash. Bank gives credit or limit facility to customers that needed it. In fund based loans
there are two further classifications:

BZU, Sub-Campus Sahiwal 39


Muslim Commercial Bank Limited

Long Term Loan

 Lease facility for car


 For Machinery
 For Fixed Assets

Short Term Loan

 Running Finance
 Cash Finance

Securities for Fund Base Loans

 Hypothecation Stock
 Mortgage
 Pledge

Hypothecation Stock

In hypothecation of stock the possession of goods and the title remains in the
favour of customer. Without the permission of the bank the customer can't sell the stock.
It is the restriction of the bank that in god own there should be stock according to the
instructions of bank ever y time. The draw back of this is that there is no check and
balance of stock from the bank. The customer can easily sell his stock.

Mortgage

BZU, Sub-Campus Sahiwal 40


Muslim Commercial Bank Limited

The bank can mortgage the immovable property like land, building etc as a
security. In mortgage the possession remains to customer and title of goods remains to
bank.

Pledge

In this, bank requires the moveable property of the customer as a security like
stock, vehicle etc. possession of goods remains to customer and title in the favor of bank.
The bank hires a muqaddam [Guard] and the key of store where the stock is pledged is in
the security of bank. When customer wants to sell the stock then he pays the amount
equivalent to stock which he wants to sell. After receiving amount bank releases his stock
for the same amount

Non Fund Base Loans

In non fund based loans cash is not directly involved but bank gives guarantee on
the behalf of customer. Bank works as a third party and known as Guarantor. Bank
provides a security to customer when he needs and someone requires from the customer.

Following documents required for advances:

Request of customer, Credit application from bank, Basic borrower sheet, Net
worth certificate, CIB report, Financials, Account statement, Property evaluation report,
For sale value certificate, Property documents, Title deed, Property map, CNIC, Account
opening form, Undertaking.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF MCB

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF MCB

BZU, Sub-Campus Sahiwal 49


Muslim Commercial Bank Limited

FINANACIAL RATIO ANALYSIS

The information contained in the four basic financial statements is of major


significance to the various interested parties who regularly need to have relatives measure
of the company operating activities efficiency. Relative is a key word here, because the
analysis of financial statements is based on the use of ratio or relative values.

What is ratio analysis?

“Ratio analysis involves method of calculating and interpreting financial ratio to


analyze and monitor the firm’s performance.”

Categories of ratio analysis

Financial ratios can be divided for convenience into five basic categories:

 Liquidity ratios
 Activity ratios
 Debt ratios
 Profitability ratios
 Market ratios

Liquidity Ratios

A firm’s ability to satisfy its short-term obligations as they come due is called
liquidity. Liquidity refers to the ability of an individual, business, or institution to convert
assets to cash without significant loss at a particular point in time. These ratios are
viewed as a good indicator of cash flow problems. Some of the liquidity ratios are:

Current Ratio

BZU, Sub-Campus Sahiwal 50


Muslim Commercial Bank Limited

A measure of liquidity calculated by dividing the firm’s current assets by its


current liabilities. It measures the firm’s ability to meet its short-term obligations. It is
expressed as follow:

Current Ratio = Current Assets


Current Liabilities

Interpretation of Current Ratio

BZU, Sub-Campus Sahiwal 51


Muslim Commercial Bank Limited

From the above data we come to know that in year 2008 MCB is in strong
position than other four year which means that organization can fulfill their short term
obligation more efficiently in this year. In addition, in year 2009 current ratio is less than
the previous years due to high difference between current assets and current liabilities. In
sum we can say that organization is proficient to meet their short term obligation, but it
does not show the true picture of the organization.

Cash Ratio

The ratio of a company's which is equal to total cash and cash equivalents to its
current liabilities. The cash ratio is most commonly used as a measure of company
liquidity. It can therefore determine if, and how quickly, the company can repay its short-
term debt. A strong cash ratio is useful to creditors when deciding how much debt, if
any, they would be willing to extend to the asking party.

Interpretation of Cash Ratio

Higher the Cash ratio higher will be the satisfaction rate like other liquidity ratios.
It was 0.094 times in 2005 that increases to 0.134 times in 2006 due to increase in
deposits, further it decreases and it turns out to be 0.106 times in 2009. It seems to be that
MCB’s liquidity ratios are shown better than other years.

Net Working Capital

Working Capital refers to that portion of total found, which finances day to day
working expenses during the operating cycle and Net Working Capital is the difference
between current assets and current liabilities. Working capital is often considered a
measure of liquidity by it self. This ratio shows the amount of liquidity. Working capital
is used to check liquidity of the organization.

Net Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities

= 468,168,736,000 – 420,467,889,000

Interpretation of Net Working Capital

Working Capital of MCB is increasing gradually in each year which shows that
MCB are utilizing their assets more economically. In the last year net working capital
was 47,700.847 million which highest from the previous years.

Leverage Ratio

Any ratio used to calculate the financial leverage of a company to get an idea of
the company's methods of financing or to measure its ability to meet financial
obligations. There are several different ratios, but the main factors looked at include debt,
equity, assets and interest expenses.

Debt Ratio

It measures the proportion of total assets financed by the firm’s creditors. The
higher this ratio, the greater the amount of other people’s money being used to generate
profits. It is calculated as follows:

Interpretation of Debt Ratio

Debt ratio is the extent to which affirm is financed with debt. The amount of the
debt a firm uses has both positive and negative effects. The more debt the more it is
possibility that the firm will have trouble in meeting its obligation. Thus the more debts
higher profitability of the financial distress and even bankruptcy. Further more the chance

of financial distress and debt obligation generally may create conflicts of interest among
the stockholders. In year 2005 MCB was heavily financed because debt was the major
source of financing in 2003, it was about 92%. In previous year 2009 the situation was to
some extent better because bank in this year was not heavily financed and not trouble to
pay its obligation.

Debt to Equity Ratio

Debt-to-Equity ratio shows the extent to which debt financing is used relative to
equity financing. Debt equity is calculated by dividing total liabilities of the bank by the total
owner equity.

Greater the debt greater risk for the firm’s shareholders. In year 2005 risk for the
shareholders was very high because of heavy financing and in year 2009 also, the risk
was low in year 2005 as compared to other years.

result the gross profit of a firm. The gross profit margin shows that how efficient an
organization using their resources to generate profits. A higher margin percentage is a
favorable profit indicator.

profit margin is 69.30% in the previous year 2009.

Operating profit margin

It measures the percentage of each sales dollar remaining after all costs and
expenses other than interest, taxes, and preferred stock dividend are deducted.
It is also called “pure profit” earned on each sales dollar. It is calculating as follow:

business are performing. Net Profit Margin compares the net income of a firm with total
sales achieved. MCB shows 50.24% higher profit margin in year 2005 as compared to
other years that I have analyzed and the least net profit margin in 2009 that was 30.02%,
reason is that the tax provision and administrative expense has increased.

In year 2007 the P/E ratio was highest because of the higher market price per
share that was about Rs. 399.95 In year 2008 this ratio was worst one due to lower
market price that was about Rs. 125.81 and the ultimate effect of the market price is on
P/E ratio.

Market/Book ratio

It provides an assessment of how investor views the firm’s performance. Firm


expected to earn high return relative to their risk typically sells at higher market/book
multiples.

Here first we will calculate Book Value per share as follows:

Common stock equity


Book value per share of common stock =

PEST ANALYSIS OF MCB

PEST analyses tell How Political, Economical, Social and technological factors affect
MCB. These are the external factors which affects the whole organization.

Political and Legal Environment

Banks are strongly affected by the political and legal consideration. This
environment is composed of regulatory agencies and government law that influence and
limit various organizational and individuals. Mostly these laws create new opportunities
for business.

In Pakistan there is uncertainty about the government and their policies change
dramatically like a policy for withdrawn is that if anyone withdraws more than Rs.25000
then he will be charged 0.30% on withdrawal.
The law and order situation are not well which create uncertainty for the investor.

Business legislation has following main purposes:

 To protect banking companies from unfair competition


 To protect consumer from unfair business practices adopted by banking
companies
 To protect the interest of the unbridled business behavior

Economic Factors

Pakistan's economy is going weaker and weaker. 9/11 has a great influence on the
economic crisis of all over the world. Law and order situation also affect the economy of

BZU, Sub-Campus Sahiwal 88


Muslim Commercial Bank Limited

Pakistan due to hesitation of investors in the bank. With economic factors the bank
influenced very much that are as under:

 Impact of WTO force to cost reduction methodology


 Low interest rate
 Inflation
 Low GDP growth
 Budget deficit
 Increase in Govt. duties
 Fluctuation in exchange rates

Socio-Cultural Environment

Social environment includes family, friends, a person's role and status. An


individual’s life directly by society and the person acts according to his or her society.
Cultural environment includes norms, values, religion, conception and perception.

 If we see the religion point of view then interest is not allowed that's why most of
the people hesitate to invest their savings in banks and yet they are not aware of
ISLAMIC BANKING

 Traditional business men do not like the business with bank. They pay their
creditors through cash not through cheque. They do not want to get the bank
facilities.

Technological Factors

Today is the era of technology. In the every aspect of life technology plays an important
role.

BZU, Sub-Campus Sahiwal 89


Muslim Commercial Bank Limited

 Due to rapid change in technology every bank has to change its technology to
compete other ones.

 Increasing issue of securities due to technology resulted increase in cyber crime.


Cyber crime means manipulation. One person can easily transfer amount from
any other's account to his account.

APPLICATION OF CLASS ROOM LEARNING

It was my magnificent internship experience of eight weeks in Muslim


Commercial Bank Ltd. Main Civic Centre G-6, Islamabad. The knowledge given by my
respected and devoted teachers proved to be very helpful in understanding the
environment in the organization and working practically.

Following are some key points about application of my class room learning in the
organization:

The knowledge achieved from the subject Understanding Psychology and


Business Communication helped me in understanding customer dealing i.e. how to deal
with them? How to understand their problems? etc.

It also helped me in understanding the inter Organizational Communication i.e.


circulars, notices etc.

Also the Knowledge which I got from the subject Computer application in
Business especially Excel skills help me very much.

Financial Management and Principles of Accounting helped me in understanding


the accounting terminologies which are used in bank e.g. what is debit and credit
vouchers? What are these for? And also in understanding that how entries are made
against certain heads.

Math and statically courses helped me very much in understanding the some stat’s
analyses in the banks reports.

BZU, Sub-Campus Sahiwal 91


Muslim Commercial Bank Limited

I could do this only with the help of the knowledge provided to me in my six
semesters of BBA (Hons.) at Bahauddin Zakariya University, Sub Campus Sahiwal.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNT IN MCB

In Muslim Commercial Bank Ltd. I really enjoyed working with the staff of Main
Civic Centre Branch, Islamabad. It was almost impossible to work in all the departments
within that limited time. But the staff of the branch provided me the opportunity to work
in the different departments for the sake of practical knowledge. I feel highly indebted to
work in the Main Civic Centre Branch, Islamabad with the experienced supervisor and a
young Operating Manager, because I have learnt a lot in that branch.

During my internship training in the MCB as I early mentioned that I have worked in
different departments & seats and learnt the following things:

 How to deal with different customers


 How to overcome the pressure
 How to manage your time with respect to work
 Collections of Cheques
 Opening Account
 Inward Outward clearing
 Different form of filling Vouchers
 Changing behavior with respect to the situation

SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATION

Following are some suggestions and recommendation for Muslim Commercial Bank
Ltd.:

Advertising

Bank must let potential customers know that all attractions for banking exist. This
is done by advertising on television and obtaining press coverage, in conjunction with
direct mail, window displays, leaflet in branches and in appropriate other locations (such
as hotels, shops, etc.) and including leaflets in statement of accounts sent to existing
customers in the hope that they will tell potential customers about the ser vices provided
by our bank.

Increase ATM’s Locations

Some personal sector customers prefer not to come to branch. They increasingly
want to deal with the bank in other ways, such as home banking or use of Automated
Teller Machines (ATMs), which need to be at every branch or some important shopping
plazas and airports etc.

Increased Services

One way to retain the customer s is to offer a wide range of services such as tax
advice, free life insurance equivalent to amount deposited, shares portfolio management,
fund management facility, etc., complimentary to the core services. Banks must have a

BZU, Sub-Campus Sahiwal 93


Muslim Commercial Bank Limited

slightly different mix of services and mean of providing these such that customers can
choose the mix that suits them best.

Time Management

There should be a good management of time for the sake of employees i.e.
offering them free break hours instead of making them work in this time as well.

Growth Scope fro Employees

MCB should provide greater facilities to its employees, and give them bonuses for
their hard work and Promotions as well. There is a criticism on the banking management
that the salaries of the employees are decreasing in every succeeding year. And I think
this will shake the confidence and working habit of the employees

Professional Banking

The bank should hire banking professionals having experience in their respective
fields that will boost the performance of the company as currently MBAs and BBAs are
produced for this field so they should be hired for enhancing the performance of
company.

Job Rotation and Promotions

Most of the bank employees, are sticking to one seat only with the result that they
become master of one particular job and loose their grip on other banking operation. In
my opinion all the employees should have regular job experience all out-look towards
banking. The promotion policy should be adjusted

BZU, Sub-Campus Sahiwal 94


Muslim Commercial Bank Limited

Communication for Employees

As such system should be designed that every employee who has some problems with his
officers can communicate it to the higher management and some steps must be taken to
improve that.

IF I AM THE MANAGER AT MUSLIM COMMERCIAL BANK

If I would be a manager at MCB I’ll take following steps:

I will apply such a communication system specially designed for employees


trough they can share the problems regarding work environment.

Complete working and break hours will be offered so that employees can work
efficiently.

I will make it sure that some of the employees should be sent for training to other
countries and employees from other branches should be brought here.

I will make promotions, job rotation and bonuses, an important part of policies of
MCB.

At every month’s closing when employees stay at branch even after working
hours, a
Dinner from bank will be offered.

To retain potential customers certain services will be provided and let them know
with advertising.

I will make it sure that Working environment, equipment, furniture and staff
dressing should be according to the modern banking style.
