EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We are living in a time of extraordinary change. The ecological and
economic threat is looming large on the entire sphere of Pakistanis
economy. Pakistani firms must design and make better products and
services and should find better ways to market them. What was once
regarded enough is no longer competitive. What were once limitless
resources are now to be used more efficiently. Today an organization is on
the leading edge, or it is on the bleeding edge.
I have learned the lessons perhaps the hardest way, that is, though my
mistakes. I have tried my best to peep into the generic as well as real
cumulative problems faced by the pioneer of banking industry in Pakistan but
that degree of objective analysis proved to be of little use since this bank is
firmly entrenched in the laws of red royal bureaucracy.
Several chapters have been inducted in the report but they seem to be
very conventional in nature giving supplementary justification to the fact that
BOP is the most conventional of the conventional bank.
This report is an upshot of my internship in BOP branch Wazirabad. BOP
posses an imperative and historical importance in the banking sector of
Pakistan. It always remains the center of hustles in business activities. It
always endows with great covenant of rally round in terms of funds and
services at all epochs of its dynamism.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
All praises to Allah, the most Merciful, the most beneficent, the most
forgiving, the most generous, the controller of the hearts and gazes and allknowing of what that is open and what is hidden. I praise Him with the praise
that is eternal throughout the night and the day.
The path and teachings of the prophet Muhammad (Salal-a-ho Alai hi
wasalam) induced enthusiasm and blessed me positive thinking.
It is will of Allah that my honorable teachers have guided us to get training
about banking technicalities and complete our tasks.
Consequently I have taken upon my unworthy shoulders the responsibility of
preparing Internship Report.
I feel highly indebted and grateful and consider it my duty to pay my thanks
to:
ALLAH ALMIGHTY: for the guidance, strength and courage emanating from
Him, in accomplishment of this job.

2.1 Banking sector of Pakistan:
Banks play very important role in the economy of a country and Pakistan is no
exemption. Banks in Pakistan account for 95% of the financial sector. Pakistan
Page 13
has a well-developed banking system, which consists of a wide variety of

institutions ranging from a central bank to commercial banks and to
specialized agencies to cater for special requirements of specific sectors. The
country started without any worthwhile banking network in 1947 but
witnessed phenomenal growth in the first two decades.
Pakistan came into being on 14th August, 1947; sufficient banking services
were available in the areas forming Pakistan. Out of the total branches of the
nearly 3,500 in the undivided India, as many as about 1,500 branches were
existing in these areas.
It was agreed between the two countries that reserve bank of India shall
continue to function in the Pakistan territory until 30th September 1948 and
that Indian notes would continue to be legal tender at Pakistan until 30th
September 1948. Unfortunately, relationship between the two countries
became most strained immediately after independence; banking was mostly in
the lands of Hindus who immediately started transferring their offices and
assets into India. As a result most of the banks in Pakistan were closed down
and even those which were open were not doing any effective business.
The number of banking office in Pakistan came down to about 200 on 30th
June 1948. Branches of some European banks were also functioning in a
limited manner, financing in export of crops, and their number was limited to
about 20.
It was only the Habib bank, which transferred its office from Bombay to
Karachi Austral Asia bank was another bank, which was in existence in the
Pakistan territory at the time of independence. Despite of best efforts on the
part of government of Pakistan, no heady way could be made on this behalf
and reserve bank of India was in no mood to help the new country. Imperial
bank of India, agent of the reserve bank of India also started closing down its
branches in Pakistan.
Reserve bank also refused to advance money to Pakistan to make essential
payments such as salaries etc, also Pakistans share of Rs.75 billion in cash
Page 14
balance was with held by bank, causing hardships to the newly born state. In
view of these hopeless state affairs it was agreed between the two countries
that reserve bank would serve as monetary authority in Pakistan only up to 30 th
June 1948. The era of 90s was the climax of privatization, deregulation and
restructuring in the domestic banking industry and financial institutions. The
Government only owns the National Bank but 80% of bank assets are in
private sector. Banking assets rose three-folds over the last five years and the
industry size are reaching Rs 4 trillion. The contribution of banking sector to
GDP ratio is 55.6%. Pakistan has been ranked 2nd in performance and
efficiency indicators among the South Asian countries by the World Bank.
There are 68 scheduled banks of which the top five have 50% of the market
share. Banking industry, in Pakistan, is currently under a wave of Mergers and
Acquisitions (M & As).

informs him that your account is now inactive.
g) Activation of a Dormant Account
h) For activating a dormant account the account holder submits an application
that he wants to activate his inactive account, with N.I.D. copy. Then the bank
officer fills an account, which is Account Activating form. The bank manager
signs on the stamp of Allowed to operate. Now account holder can operate
his account but for activating his account, he has to pay some charges.

2. Clearing Department
3. As implied from the name that this department is for clearing the cheque,
which are drawn on the bank or drawn on another bank.
There are three types of clearing:
a) Inward Clearing
b) Outward Clearing
c) Within Bank Clearing
a) Inward Clearing
Inward clearing means the cheques which are to be honored by the bank but
which are received through other banks representatives. These are the cheque,
which BOP account holder gives to such account holders who have their
Page 28
accounts in other banks other than BOP. So those banks submit their cheque
books to NIFT.
NIFT-National Institutional Facilitation Technologies (Pvt) Ltd.
The facility of clearing is provided by SBP. Each bank collects the cheque on
behalf of their customers of other banks and hands over this cheque to NIFT.
When NIFT collects the cheque in the evening from every bank, then at night
all cheque are sorted according to their banks and then according to their
branches. Then cheques of one branch e.g. of BOP shah dula road are kept in
one bag with the detail summary of cheques e.g. number of cheques, total
number of cheques and amount. This bag is locked with the special plastic
key.
Next day before bank starts its work the NIFT representative gives this bag to
clearing department head and returns. Clearing department head sorts these
cheques according to PLS, CD, PO, DD and counts that cheques number are
equal to summary cheque number.
Reason of Returning
After all this the bank officer enters these cheques in inward clearing register
regardless of returned cheques. Then these cheques total is matched with
NIFT summary. Then these cheques are entered in computer and debited the
accounts of those account holders who issued these cheques. In posting when
the officer finds that account holder has not sufficient fund or signature are not
verified by SSC then he returns these cheques with memorandum.
After doing all these cheques are again kept in that bag which is locked with
special plastic key. With returning cheques a pink colour slip is attached
which has the title Clearing Return. After half an hour NIFT representative
comes back and takes this bag back and goes away. The officer circles with
red pen in register those cheques which are returned and writes R. Then he
prepares an IBCA.
b) Outward Clearing.
Outward Clearing means the collection of cheques on behalf of customers.
These cheques are those, which are drawn on other banks. This clearing can
be local or out station. When customer brings such cheque, he fills the deposit
slip. He keeps counterfoil and the remaining part is stapled with the cheque.
Page 29
The bank officer stamps the crossing stamp. He also stamps the clearing
stamp of next day and endorsement stamp. In this clearing the bank receives
the cheque whole day and enters those cheques in outward clearing register
c) Within bank Transfer
If the cheques are drawn on same bank or on other branches of this
bank then it is called clearing within bank. Such Cheques are marked with
transfer bank.
4. Collection Department:
5. The collection of cheques and other instruments has become very important
services that commercial banks render to their clients. While collecting
cheques and other instruments, a bank acts as an agent of its customer.
Therefore the banker customer relationship changes in this case from debtors
and creditors to the agent and principal besides the we commission. It
increases the interaction between the bank and the business community.
6. Bills of Collection
7. There are two types:
a. OBC (Outward Bills for Collection)
Cheques and other instruments drawn on other bank in other cities are known
as Outward Bills for Collection. In this case instrument goes out and funds
come in. Therefore it is favorable cheque. Our branch sends the instruments to
other branch in that city that branch receives payment from the other bank and
credits our branch and we credit our customer a/c.
b. IBC (Inward Bills for Collection.)
Bank receives cheques, draft and other instruments for collection from
branches of other banks, which are not included in local clearing house
arrangements. They are Inward Bills For Collection. In it, instruments come
and funds go out. Therefore it is unfavorable.
Other branches send cheques and schedule to us and we send an advice to the
Drawee branch.
4. REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT
This department has following remittances:
a) Demand draft(D.D)
b) Pay order
c) SDR
a) Demand draft:
Thats an order to pay money. It is drawn by one branch of bank upon another
branch of the bank for a sum of money payable to order or demand purpose to
Page 30
be endorsed by or on behalf of the payee. The bank is discharged by payment

in due course.
b) Pay order (P.O)
It is an instrument, which is payable on demand and only presentable within
the city. Pay order is also called the bankers cheque, drawn upon the issuing
branch itself. Though, an order instrument, which means transferable, it is not
negotiable and therefore bankers tend to cross the instrument Payees A/C
only to avoid the possibility of dealing with instrument with forged
endorsement. The dept of the bank, for making payment on presentation of
P.O. the bank is liable to pay the amount to customer.
c) SDR (Security Deposit Receipt) :
When any company wants to participate in any tender that orders for an SDR.
If he wins the tender then its ok. But in case when he does not win the tender
then tender, making company will cross it and write on it Released. Before
it many companies made just one SDR and would use it for many tenders. So
for avoiding such deeds that tender making company crosses it. And that
person can encash it from the bank.

In order to achieve desired KYC standards & prevent the Bank of Punjab from
being used for money laundering, terrorist financing, transfer or induction of
illegal / ill-gotten money in to the banking system, the KYC Policy has been
Page 39
developed & implemented. In the present scenario of international as well as

local banking the importance of Know Your Customer (KYC) / customer due
diligence has been increased to many folds. The KYC Policy has been
developed to ensure / obtain the proper / verifiable answer to the following
queries.
a) Do you know who you are dealing with?
b) Do you know what your customers needs and circumstances are?
c) Can your customer be engaged in money laundering??
Implementation of KYC policy, on one hand provides protection against
unforeseen events / money laundering to the bank and satisfaction / protection
to branch management / staff on the other.
Obtaining maximum realistic information about the customers is the basic
principal of good KYC policy. Branch officers / staff should prudently ensure

of The Bank Of Punjab (BOP) has been formulated to ensure that Bank is
performing its business in conformity with the regulatory requirements issued

Page 42
Chapter5
5.1 Introduction:
In this chapter analysis of the organization has been done. The swot analysis
and porter model has been used to analyzed the external and internal
environment. BOP
has certain strengths and weaknesses. The external
environment forcing the bank to change its policies.

5.2 SWOT ANALYSIS
BOP is one of the fastest growing banks in Pakistan. In the light of these
situations we can make an analysis.
Strengths:
The major shares of BOP is owned by the Govt. of the Punjab, so it can
develop a good image & trust among it customers.
Personal selling has key role in banking service. The officers of the Bank
of Punjab go to the potential customers to develop the business. By the
relationship with customers, they achieve the deposit targets.
The promotion criteria of the bank are on the basis of the efficiency and
passing the diploma examination of Pakistan Institute of Bankers.
Page 43
It is the policy of the management that requirements are made according to

the principles of merit. The bank to train them in gives the staff banking.
The past percentage of the candidates of Bank of Punjab is the highest
among the entire commercial every year.
People have trust in the Bank of Punjab because govt. of Punjab 52%
shares of the bank.
There is no union in the Bank of Punjab.
Working environment is good. Officers and managers work together as a
team. They are very cooperative with each other.
Higher management is experienced.
BOP has got a reliable and easy to use internal computer system. Every
information regarding the transactions in customers deposits has been
computerized. Data are properly maintained.
Low cost than other major banks
Increasing the number of branches in the country
Successfully launching new Product Lines
Weaknesses:
Although the bank is growing fastly but it has some weaknesses which it
should remove to make itself further strong.
The staff is not satisfied with the salary structure
Gives its staff less benefits
Lack of proper internal controls is one of the major weakness of BOP. It is
also pointed by the auditor in his review.
BOP has formulized a lot of products and services for its customers, even
more than other commercial banks, but any advertisement on electronic
media has not been seen.
I observed during my internship that some of the employees were
burdened with over work. So I think that the work should be distributed
according to their post and capabilities.
Biased selection of employees.
Corrupt former management has shattered the trust of the people. Now
BOP regaining the trust of the people.
Page 44
Political influence is very high.

Loans issued in the era of Hamesh khan are mostly non performing loans.
Weak security system in the branches of south Punjab.
The Bank of Punjab has very less staff in the branches of South Punjab as
compared to Upper Punjab. This creates the problem employees have to
spent most of their time in the bank to complete even their daily routine
work. They have to sit till 7:00 to 8:00 PM before going back to their
homes. For this reason their normal life is disturbing which create the
irritation in the behavior of employees.
Opportunities:
Although commercial banks have launched many products but a gap exist
between the customers want and what the banks are providing. This is an
opportunity for the Bank of Punjab to move in and fill the gap between the
ideal bank and the current service offerings by aggressive advertising,
consumer friendly attitude products and service for attracting customers.
The Bank has opportunity to expand the branch network all over the
country, and it would be able to develop business and can start many other
schemes for investment.
The Bank has opportunity to use latest technology for providing good s
There is an opportunity for more businesses if the BOP opens its branches
in foreign countries.
There is an opportunity for more businesses if the BOP offered credit
cards.
Different multinational are establishing their businesses in Pakistan. So
there is a lot of potential for future businesses.
Threats:
Uncertain economic conditions
Action taken by competitors
Page 45
Despite the difficult circumstances that confronted the banking sector in

particular and the country in general, BOP has been still highly profitable.
But, the facts cant be denied and there might be an adverse impact of such
situation.
BOP is facing a strong competition by its competitors, Business of all these
Banks are growing at very high pace.
5.3 Porter model:

1. Entry barriers (high)
The Pakistani market is highly regulated by the government and also by
central bank. A lot of decision such as regularization of interest on loans and
deposits as well as money supply is controlled by the state bank of Pakistan
2. Rivalry among the existing competitors (high)
When it comes to the banking sector in the country we could include in whole
lot of public as well as private banks along with NBFCs and micro finance
institutes widely spread in the country. The banking sector of the country has
56 banking institutions which include public sector, Islamic banks, foreign
banks, development financial institution, specialized banks, and micro fianc
institutions.
3. Bargaining power of suppliers (medium)
The supplier of banks is people from whom the bank raises funds. So the
major source funds come from their customer (depositor), who becomes the
supplier in this case
4. Bargaining power of the customers (medium)
The customers and the depositors have a high bargaining power in the market.
Any bank giving the higher rate of interest would attract a large number of
Page 46
customers. Because there are number of banks operating in the market which
offer similar service.
5. Threat from substitutes (high)
There are number of substitutes in retail fianc industry such as money lender,
NBFCs, micro finance and also the insurance companies. Banks are seeing the
competition rise from unconventional companies. Markets like Pakistan
customer have high propensity towards switching to other substitutes
5.4 Summary:
BOP has certain weaknesses and strengths. The external environment has a
great influence on the performance of the bank. The regulations are very high
the environment is very competitive.
Page 47
Page 48
In the light of the Knowledge obtained during internship and studying the
organization, the following recommendations may prove to be successful to
the bank.
In order to capture a considerable share in the banking sector of the

country, the prime objective should be awareness in the general public. For
this it should launch a well-planned advertising campaign in the general
public.
Physical facilities in a bank also play their role in enhancing its grade and
sound image. The bank should keep these facilities like furniture, parking
facilities for the customer.
Salaries of the officers must be compatible to other private banks so that
the BOP can attract professionals, intelligent persons.
The Bank of Punjab should minimize its expenses.
Special awards should be given to the hardworking employees who
performed extra-ordinary in the bank.
The bank should come up with new and innovative products. It would be
advisable to make these products while keeping in mind the gap between
what people want and what their banks are providing them.
Page 49
The Bank of Punjab should concentrate more on advances than on

investments
The bank should come up with such products or services in which the
customers would not have to come to the bank at any stage i.e. Telephone
Banking etc.
The Bank of Punjab should use the latest technology because the bank
which can provide speedy, accurate and standard services in the delivery of
products, loans etc. to the customers will be successful e.g.
computerization, fax installation.
The authority should be delegated to the manager level.
MIS should be improved by connecting all regional offices and branches
to the head office through a network for timely delivery of information.
Management of Bank of Punjab should try to avoid the political influences
and should give loans on merit.
The bank should make a plan to gear up its recovery function on war
fooling and recognize the recovery function.
The Bank of Punjab should give some extra credit to concern to
professional qualifications such as MBA(IT)s, M.B.As, C.As A.C.M.As
at the time of recruitment and selection.
Interview should be conducted while recruiting personnel, to consider the
personality characters, communications skills and sociability.
The bank should adopt a policy to accommodate and facilitate the research
scholars who want to study the banking affairs. The universities and other
institutions can help to launch the studies regarding banking business.
All possible efforts should be made to protect the bank from the
interruption of Provincial government.
Page 50
There should be an association of employees to convey the voice of the

employees to the administration.
Participative management concept should be adopted, where ideas from
the employees should also be taken, not only for developing products but
also on service, efficiency, employee morale etc. in order to improve them.
Bank of Punjab is a very well established bank, but the number of air
conditioners they have in the whole bank is very less. Bank should
increase the number of its Split units, because summer stays longer in
Lahore.
The number of Fax machines and photocopying machine in the bank are
also less than they are needed. For photocopying one has to go downstairs.
So there should be more machines and also their placement should be at
the right place.
BOP should introduce more training programs for their employees. It will
help less educated and less experienced staff to grow and be a valuable
part of the bank.
Conclusion:
At present there is no such organization in the world that is free from problem
and challenges. Every concern has to strive and struggle a lot to be more
profitable and to get more competitive edge.
The management of BOP is taking strategic steps to enable the bank to emerge
as a strong and progressive institution. It is continuing to make efforts to
refine its products and operations to make them more compatible.
New
deposit schemes have been introduced and an action plan to maintain revenue
growth in future.
As the business and economic conditions remain uncertain, BOP continues to
develop the new products like it has been doing in past.
BOP must reduce the political influence to regain the public trust and make
prudent lending.
