Threats:
Shakarganj Sugar Mill Ltd. Ltd has many competitors, which are continuously increasing its products and marketing aggressively. It may cause its customers to shift to competitors.
Increase in competition due to increasing number of foreign banks offering highly specialized and attractive services.
Growing global technological advancements and adaptation of modern style of management in banking sector. Extensive promotional campaigns run by competitors. ABL is giving higher rate of return to their clients on various certificates like, Defense saving certificate etc. Being a private commercial bank it should earn more than that of nationalized banks.

75
High employee turnover High charges Less attractive rate of return Stiff competition Some other banks have competent taskforce, which is also a threat for ABL. Because human resource is the most valuable resource. Pakistan India relations often create a war danger. This chance of war may cause army officer and their families to increase the frequency of withdrawals, which would decrease deposits.

MARKETING MIX

COMPANY MARKETING MIX

The concept of marketing mix is very important in the business literature. Marketing mix is a combination of a number of marketing elements according to a market situation. If a business enterprise rationally blends the elements of marketing into a program of mix, then it competes, stays and earns profit in the market. In case, the integration of the various elements of marketing is defective, the firm cannot fight out its rivals in the market and ultimately suffers losses.
Marketing mix is defined as: The set of controllable tactical marketing tools that the firm
blends to produce in response to wants in the target market.

The various elements of marketing mix are as follows; Products Price Place Promotion Marketers use numerous tools to elicit desired responses from their target market. These tools constitute a market mix. Four Ps Product Price Place Promotion Four Cs Customer needs and wants Cost to the customers Convenience Communication

111
Now let us discuss the marketing mix of ASKARI COMMERCIAL BANK
LIMITED.
While successfully penetrating the key domestic markets through strategic expansion and business diversification, we remain alive to the challenges emanating from the developments in the global financial markets; the opportunities and threats engendered by greater deregulation, and increased customer expectations. These provide us the impetus to make the best use of available resources, including modern technology, to meet the challenges ahead. Historically, Askaris core marketing focus for its asset base has been the middle and upper middle business houses (including wholesales and manufacturers) operating in the large urban centers of Pakistan, which are primarily oriented towards foreign trade. This segment contributes significant revenues to the Bank. The liability side remains focused on the middle and upper middle class, retired and serving government and armed forces personnel, and mid size business houses. Benefiting from the banks growing balance sheet size, this division is now gaining momentum and our long term aim is to develop it into an independent strategic business unit (SBU). This would enable the bank to acquire, develop and retain specialized abilities, and enhance our focus on serving the emerging needs of the corporate clients. With the branch network of 46 and further expected increase of 18 during 2003, the ATMs facility and Internet Banking. Shakarganj Sugar Mill Ltd. s reach is ever increasing. In recognition of this reach, we set up Retail Banking Group in July 2000, dedicated to serving the urban consumer market. Askari is committed to aggressively market this segment. The strategy is to provide our customers with a banker of innovative products to meet their varying needs. In view of the fast changing market conditions and the narrowing of traditional lucrative margins on loans, Shakarganj Sugar Mill Ltd. revamping of the now commits itself to seek out new opportunities and make its existing operations more efficient. This is evident from

112
Treasury that is being geared to provide innovative products and efficient services to our clients. In the process, we hope to improve overall margins on the surplus liquidity available with the Treasury. Despite the falling interest rates, which compelled people to divert their investments to the share market and property, our deposits increased from PKR 41 billion in 2001? Our operating Profit (before provisions) for the year, stood at PKR 1,595 million as at December 31, 2002, while the figure for last year was PKR 1,291 million. Although the interest margins were greatly squeezed during the year 2002, especially in the second half, we succeeded in compensating for the reduced margins by a substantial increase in volumes. The Board and Management are steering towards contemporary management design. This is evident from the conception of the new division for Planning and Corporate Affairs. The division was set up to play a proactive role in pursuing corporate and organizational development, giving strategic direction to the bank and looking out for new growth avenues. Askari is one of the first Pakistani banks to develop such a dedicated function with a high focus on the future. During the first quarter of 2003, the bank plans to operationally an Offshore Banking Unit (OBU) in Bahrain. In the near future, Shakarganj Sugar Mill Ltd. also plans to launch some new consumer products, developed and designed by its Retail Banking Group. This will include debit cards, prepaid cards and electronic billing systems. The bank plans to enhance its ATMs and Internet banking services with new features like inter branch funds transfer, and the payment of utility bills. We plan to setup a Call Center and Date Warehouse to enhance the timeliness and quality of our services. Enhancements are also planned for the banking software so that funtions like Trade Finance, SWIFT messages, and credit approvals can be integrated into the core banking system. The bank is also in the process of obtaining a new IT system for its Treasury.

113
Realizing that Assets make things possible, people make things happen. Askari plans to reemphasize its focus on its human resource. The bank will try to build the organization from within, giving special emphasis on the quality of its human resource. Our emphasis on technology is evident from the products that we are developing. We understand and are committed to enhancing our technology not just to keep abreast with the modern developments but also to retain our position as leaders in this field Our motivation is driven by one single factor Providing customer satisfaction

114
PRODUCTS
Shakarganj Sugar Mill Ltd. presents you an entire range of products... whether you are looking for high returns on your deposits, lockers for your valuables, liquidity for your business needs, loans to meet an emergency cash need, or financing for the purchase of an automobile, we have the solutions to your questions. Policies Regarding Product Intangibility, inseparability and high perish ability are a significant product planning challenge in service marketing. So to overcome these challenges the service industry has to adopt various strategies. We would discuss these strategies in context of ACBL.
ACBL emphasis is on the benefit the service offers rather than on the service
itself. For example the e-statement service emphasis is on the customers convenience, easiness and advantage than on the service itself.
For product promotion the use of visualization technique,

association, physical presentation and documentation are used. On every brochure of ACBL product one sees an image. For example the High Yield saving account brochure shows an image of wheat plant. What does it reflects or communicates with the customer? It instantly gives the idea That something very rewarding, giving higher returns, a worthy investment etc. so the customer mind instantly visualizes, associates the service with something physical. In relation to product feature the banks emphasis is on building up an effective brand image. In includes the whole theme more than just the brand name. Uses of distinctive color schemes, tangible objects, slogans etc are being used.

115
Due to intangibility of products and in the absence of physical features the bank has to emphasize on differentiation of their offering.

FIANANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS Financial Analysis

Financial Analysis refers to the assessment of a business to deal with the planning, budgeting, monitoring, forecasting, and improving of all financial details within an organization. Three most common methods used for financial analysis are.
Trend/ horizontal analysis Vertical Analysis Financial Ratio Analysis
Horizontal analysis:
A procedure in fundamental analysis in which an analyst compares ratios or line items in a company's financial statements over a certain period of time. The analyst will use his or her discretion when choosing a particular timeline; however, the decision is often based on the investing time horizon under consideration.

141
The process of dividing each expense item of a given year by the same expense item in the base year. It allows assessment of changes in the relative importance of expense item over time and the behavior of expense items as sales change
Balance sheet:
A financial statement that summarizes a company's assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity at a specific point in time. These three balance sheet segments give investors an idea as to what the company owns and owes, as well as the amount invested by the shareholders.
The balance sheet must follow the following formula: Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders' Equity
Income Statement
A financial statement that measures a company's financial performance over a specific accounting period. Financial performance is assessed by giving a summary of how the business incurs its revenues and expenses through both operating and non-operating activities. It also shows the net profit or loss incurred over a specific accounting period, typically over a fiscal quarter or year. Also known as the "profit and loss statement" or "statement of revenue and expense".

Interpretation:
From the analysis above we have seen that total assets of sari bank has been decreased from 2007-2009.the main reason for this increase is that bank investment increase in 2009

145
with a large amount i-e 88%.another reason for increase in assets of bank is the large amount of balances of other banks. When we make a look on liabilities section of bank we have analyzed that the banks liabilities have been increased in 2009 as compared to 2007 and 2008.which means that a large amount of debts have been taken by a bank in this year. Now move to equity section from the analysis of banks capital we came to know that the total capital of bank has been increased in 2009 than in previous years which is a favorable point for bank. Hence the overall trend of the banks financial position that we have analyzed from horizontal analysis is that. Banks total assets have been increased with a minimum amount from 2007-2009 Banks investment shows a large amount of increase the main reason for this change is its less lending to financial institutions and large amount of balances of other banks The total liabilities of bank also decreased which is not a favorable point but it may be due to change in governmental policies or government regulations, countrys economic position and many other factors.
The capital of bank also shows a good point of banks financial position.

Net income of Shakarganj Sugar Mill Ltd. has been increased with a large amount in 2009 as compared to 2007 and 2008.the main reason for this increase is:
Net mark up interest income is increased in2009 because of loans and advances taken by a bank in 2009 decreases with large amount. Another reason for this increase is increases in net mark up interest earned by a bank.
Total non mark up interest income has been decreases in 2009.it were a large amount in 2007 and 2008 which was not a favorable point.
Expenses done by a bank in these three years shows that in 2009 bank has done low expenses due to which its income increased. We have seen a decrease in banks administration expenses. Hence the horizontal analysis of Shakarganj Sugar Mill Ltd. shows that companys financial position was much better n 2009 as compared to 2007 and 2008.
Vertical analysis:
Technique for identifying relationship between items in the same financial statement by expressing all amounts as the percentage of the total amount taken as 100. In a balance sheet, for example, cash and other assets are shown as a percentage of the total assets and, in an income statement, each expense is shown as a percentage of the sales revenue. Financial statements using this technique are called common size financial statements dividing each expense item in the income statement of a given year by net sales to identify expense items that rise more quickly or more slowly than a change in sales. For example, an analyst may study a firms balance sheet to compare the level of current assets with the

149
level of current liabilities in order to measure liquidity. Analyst often studies a firms income statement to compare net income with total sales.
Example:.
In balance sheet all accounts of assets section will be divided by total assets while in liabilities and owners equity sectional accounts will be divided by total liabilities and equity. In income statement the horizontal analysis will be done by dividing all accounts by mark up interest/return earned.

Interpretation:
On the total mark up interest earned, the lager part is contributed by mark up interest expense in 2009 i.e. 60%
Profit after taxation is lower in 2009 as compared to other two years, because of more expenses and payment of taxes by a bank in this year.

Ratio analysis:
The ratio analysis and industry analysis tools below are very useful for individuals to instantly assess a company or industry by making two basic types of comparisons. First, the analyst can compare a present ratio with past (or expected) ratios for the organization to determine if there has been an improvement or deterioration or no change over time. Second, the ratios of one organization may be compared with similar organizations or with industry averages at the same point in time. This is a type of "benchmarking" so that one may determine whether the organization is "average" in performance or doing better or worse than others. For the professional, conducting such in-depth analyses is critical, allowing an analyst to make an informed business or investment decision.

2009
Analysis:
This ratio shows that the return is lesser in 2008 as compared to return on assets in the year 2007 (gradual increase). Although interest and discount on loans which is the major source of revenue for bank, but cost on deposits and borrowings which is the major

161
expenditure of bank has increased more in 2007 than in 2008. Another reason of decrease in return is the decrease in lending rate and increase in financial cost. But again we have seen a small increase in this ration in 2009.

Analysis:

162
decreased not only by the single factor but also due to increase in interest. So, both these factors has resulted an decrease of the return. But overall profitability of bank is decreasing that is not a good performance point.

This ratio shows that how much is available to
meet the demand liabilities of the depositors. The bank should
have reasonable cash balance to meet the customer requirements against their deposits in the bank. In this case bank ratio was greater in 2008 as compared to 2007 and 2009 which is not a good sign from the bank point of view.

SWOT ANALYSIS
167
Strength Weakness Opportunity Threat
SWOT ANALYSIS
An analysis indicating towards the organizations strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threat is termed as SWOT Analysis. Such an analysis is very important for the management in retaining the strength, overcoming the weaknesses, capitalizing over the emerging market opportunities, and carving ways to successfully tackle with the threats and ultimately converting them in the strengths for the organization. During six weeks of my stay at Askari Commercial Bank, I have come across the following SWOT analysis of the bank.

168
STRENGTHS Leading private sector bank:

Askari commercial bank is the leading private sector bank in the banking network in Pakistan with many of them online branches in major cities of the country.
Automatic operations:
The operations performed by the bank are highly automated that result in assurance for the customers that their transactions are completed reliably, efficiently and securely.
Full day banking:

One can avail the benefit of the services provided at the bank till 5:00 P.m. which is highly useful for those customers who find it difficult to leave their officers in the morning...
ATM network:
The bank has the largest ATM Network cross the country. The customers of ACBL withdraw access their funds any time at all the ATM Sites with ASKCASH Logo.
Customized solutions:
The management of the bank believes in customer focused banking rather than the product oriented banking. The products and services designed by the bank are specifically tailored to the individual needs of its customers.

169
Customer oriented banking:

The priority banking centers of the bank offer an unmatched where the customer receives highly privileged services in a highly elegant environment. It gives the chance of experiencing new standards in banking. Designed specially for those who appreciate only the finest things in life, Priority Banking offers the very highest levels of personalized banking to match customers unique status.
Electronic banking:
The revolution in the banking in the form of electronic banking operations have opened avenues of excellent, efficient and quick services saving the time and costs of the customers and fortunately ACBL is among those few banks who are already reaping the benefits of electronic transactions.
Electronic funds transfer:

ACBL management is quite prepared to adopt the latest advancements in technology resulting in revolution in the banking operations such as check clearing process, computer based teller equipment, automatic teller machines, and electronic funds transfers among the others.
Phone banking:
Phone banking service is very attractive for those classes of customers who dont have time to personally come to the bank i.e. banking on the phone line thus saving the precious time of the customers

170
Ethical concerns and public image:

The organizations showing concern for the people, ethics, and environment enjoy good public reputation and are able to reap the benefits in the long run. ACBL management is quite sensitive to this issue.
WEAKNESSES
In my opinions these are the points that might be detrimental to the efficiency and profitability of the bank.
Not highly automated:

The bank has still some of the traditional ways of operations in this advanced technological environment.
Manual book keeping:

Although the bank has computerized accounting system but, still the bankers use to make their entries in the accounting register.
Low job satisfaction:

Understanding and the effective management of the human resources is the most difficult challenge faced not only by the bank but by all the organizations. Even though the people have been sacrificed in the new organizational developments, it is becoming clear that the true lasting competitive advantage comes through human resources and how they are Managed. ACBL seems to not focusing on this highly critical issue as the job satisfaction level of the employees working at ACBL, was quite low.
Lack of specialization:
This famous and useful concept given by Adam Smith in 1776 seems to be missing in the bank. The employees are constantly rotated from one job to another job of totally different characteristic in the view of giving them the know-how of the working in all the

171
departments. But I think this is not a very good tactics used by the management. Otherwise the situation might be like this Jack of all and master of none.
Centralization:
There is a high degree of centralization in the bank. Almost all the decision-making is in the hands of the upper management. But centralization is effective up to a certain level otherwise it becomes inefficient and at times costly too. I personally observed that delay occurred in the operations of the employees only due to the fact that they had not got any instructions from the head office.
Lack of training facilities:

Presently there is no specific training program arranged for the new recruiters. They have to learn based on their observations and also their mistakes. It takes a bit time for the fresh one to learn the banking the result is huge amount of blunders, mistakes etc. resulting in monetary and non-monetary losses for the bank. There is pressure not only on the new learner but also on the person placed upon with this responsibility.
OPPORTUNITIES
Apart from the ones discussed in External Factors Evaluation Matrix, the bank is facing the following threats and opportunities currently:
Promote Islamic Banking:

Askari commercial Bank promote Islamic banking in all the branches only a few branches this service is available these are positive external environmental factors effecting the organization.
A large amount of foreign investment is attracted:

172
A large amount of foreign investment is attracted to expand their business world wide It is external opportunity for Askari commercial bank to avail it and take a competitive edge and create a strong identity world wide
Steady increase in Customer Deposits:

It is opportunity for Askari commercial bank to steady increase customer deposit by adopting new marketing and promotion scheme and lunch new scheme for their customer
Open branches in rural Areas:

It is opportunity for Askari commercial bank to expand their business in rural areas and met unmet segment in geographical areas and promote their business.
Technological improvements:
It is the opportunity for Shakarganj Sugar Mill Ltd. limited to make technical improvement in their operation and adopt new technologies of business and make their whole operation automatic it is convince for both customer and organization to save their time
Use of ATM as a Credit Card:

It can be an opportunity for ACBL to introduce ATM also as a credit card which will invite a different segment and which will improve profitability. They can also cut costs in this way.
THREATS High Employees Turnover:

173
As discussed above, the job satisfaction level of the employee is very low resulting in high turnover, which is bad for any organization as there are huge monetary and non-monetary costs involved in the fresh recruitments.
High charges:
The schedules of charges indicate that the fees charged by the bank on the various services it provides are extremely high. It may result in decrease in the number of its exiting customers. Further more, this could be very alarming situation for the bank in case some of the competitors grasped the opportunity and lowered its rates. The result would be either the lost of market share or decrease in the charges resulting in lowering the banks income.
Less attractive rate of return:

Commercial banks face considerable competition in attracting deposits from individuals or small investors. In contrast, the Govt. of Pakistan national saving scheme offers attractive rates of return (approx. 16 to 18 percent annually) on 10-15 year fixed accounts, which banks find difficult to match.
Stiff Competition:
SCB is currently facing strict competition from the foreign banks especially the American who banks enjoy a good market position. Collectively U.S. banks hold approximately 9 Percent of all commercial banks' assets. At present, three American banks are operating in Pakistan: American Express Bank; Bank of America and Citibank.
Less Experienced Staff:

Owing to huge turnover of the employees, the no. of experienced and well trained staff is very low. Majority of the staff working in the bank branches is quite young and inexperienced. If the bank failed to bring down its high employees turnover, then it would be lacking the most important resources of any organization i.e. the experienced staff.
Legal regulation:
Legal regulation is serious threat for organization because

174
Government change their policies and put different kind of taxes and regulation on the Organization top management always keeps the eye on moving trend of government
High rate of inflation:

Higher rate of inflation is a threat for Askari Commercial bank the prices of the product and services up and up and unemployment Is increasing very rapidly bank should adopt flexible policies to give relief their Customer
High charges:
The schedules of charges indicate that the fees charged by the bank on The various services it provides are extremely high. It may result in decrease in the Number of its exiting customers. Further more, this could be very alarming situation For the bank in case some of the competitors grasped the opportunity and lowered its Rates. The result would be either the lost of market share or decrease in the charges Resulting in lowering the banks income.

FOREIGN TRADE DEPTARTMENT

202
Nature has distributed its wealth un-evenly. Some countries are rich in human resources other have mineral wealth in abundance and yet other have arable land and favorable climate conditions for agricultural production. This un-even distribution of resources basically determines the productive efficiencies of different countries. This is the point where different countries come together to exchange their competencies and efficiencies. The countries, which lack in any of the resource, start importing those resources from the country that is having excess of it. In this way the trade starts between different countries.
Benefits of Foreign Trade:

Following are the main benefits of foreign trade. It enables the country to use its resources most profitably and efficiently. A wide scope is available for a country for its surplus production. International competition compels countries to produce quality products at competitive costs. A country can earn foreign exchange by selling its products in the international market.

This department deals with the following: Import Export Foreign Currency Accounts Foreign Remittance Submission of Monthly Reports to SBP
IMPORT
The international trade transaction, in which one country buys goods from other country, is called import. The import trade in Pakistan is governed by import and export Act of 1950. Previously, the regulating body of imports was controller of Import and Export. But this function has been shifted to Export Promotion Bureau. Foreign Exchange Departments of all banks are restricted to word under the rules and regulations of government.
Import License and Registration:

The individuals and firms who desire to import goods from the foreign countries are required to obtain import license. Import licenses are a type of artificial restraint on the import trade of a country. To acquire import license, the importer has to submit applications to the licensing authority. The importers can only get their merchandize cleared from the custom authorities if they have the import license duly issued in their names. The import licenses issued by the Import Trade Controller are required to be registered with the State Bank of Pakistan.
Contract of sale:
204
After getting the license, the importer then negotiates with the exporter. When they reach to an agreement on all terms of sale, they sign a contract. Thus contract includes all information of terms and condition of sale.
Letter of credit:
Foreign trade payment problems are mainly solved by a letter of credit. A letter of credit is issued by the importers bank. If guarantees payment to the exporter up to specified amount of money provided the terms and conditions laid down the L/C are fulfilled. A letter of credit is a commitment on the part of buyers bank to pay or accept draft drawn upon it, provided drafts do not exceed a specified amount. A letter of credit thus is a
Written undertaking by an importers bank to exporters bank. That it will pay or accept draft drawn upon it up to a stated amount with a specified
time.
The payment will only be made to the exporter if he compliers with the terms of
credit.
Parties to a letter of credit:

There are four parties involved in letter of credit.
Account party: The buyer or the importer on whose account and request the
letter of credit is opened is known as account party or opener.
Issuing bank: The bank which issues or opens a letter of credit at the request of
importer is called issuing bank.
Exporter or seller: The seller or the party in whose favour L/C is drawn is the
exporter. He is also called beneficiary.

205
Negotiating bank: The paying bank in the exporters country, on which the
draft is drawn, is called negotiating bank or paying bank.
Opening of letter of credit:

The main steps involved in the opening of the letter of creditor as follows:
Application for letter of credit:

The importer will request his own bank or any other bank, which deals in foreign trade transactions to issue a letter of credit in favour of the exporter. He will prepare an application on the prescribed form available from the bank. The information, which are supplied in the application are based on the contract of sale and include only the important feature of contract, such as value of merchandise, port of shipment, documents to be presented, port of unloading, brief description of goods, import license etc.
Scrutiny of application:
Before issuing a letter of credit, the bank will scrutinize whether the importer is of good financial standing, possesses the import license issued by import control. Authorities, the amount available covers the letter of credit applied for, market demand of goods, collateral offered to cover the credit etc
Cash margin:
The bank asks the importer to deposit cash or securities with the bank. The proper margin of cash or securities to be deposited is decided by the bank depending upon the credit worthiness of the importer.
Issuance of the letter of credit:

The importer bank after being fully satisfied will issue a letter of credit in favor of the exporter. The L/C may be sent directly to the exporter or the advising bank in the exporters country. In such a case, the advising bank will inform the exporter about opening a letter of credit.

206
Shipment of goods:
When the exporter receives L/C, he examines it to ensure that it conforms to the terms of contract of sales. He then shifts the goods and presents all required documents along with the bill to negotiating bank.
Role of negotiating bank:

The negotiating bank after receiving all the documents and the bill from the exporter will scrutinize them whether these conform to the terms of letter of credit. If the documents of title accompanying the bill are in order, these will be sent to the importers bank for payment.
Liability of the issuing bank:

On receipt of documents and the bill, the issuing bank will examine them. If the documents on the face appear to be in order, the payment would be released by the bank. In case any defect is found in the documents and the draft is honored by the issuing bank the importer can claim damages on the issuing bank. The issuing bank is only accountable for the completeness of documents, not to see whether goods conform to the contract of sale.
Payment by importer to the bank:

First the importer pays all his obligations the bank then bank releases the documents. In case of sight draft, the importers bank pays the amount on the same day charging the importing customers account. In case of a time draft, the importer discharges his obligations to the accepting bank on or before the maturity date of acceptance. The accepting bank will then release all the shipping documents to the importer.
Payment to the exporter:

The exporter can obtain payment from the negotiating bank by discounting the draft (L/C) immediately after shipping the goods and obtaining shipping documents.

OBJECTIVES OF LENDING
In the modern economics, more than 90% business concern raises their funds from various financial institutions to meet their multifold transaction. Actually it very difficult for the modern businessman to run his business on a huge scale solely. He has to float his shares to the public or knock the doors of financial institutions, for example the banks. The most easy way to make fund available to seek assistance by such agencies including banks which have got surplus funds and will come to the assistance of producing units, distributing units and exchanging units. In this way of lending, the banks earn the profits in term of interest and mark-up.

214
Selection of Borrowers
The selection of a reasonable and trustworthy borrower is complicated and at the same time very sensitive task which requires decision-making power from the bank employees. In the words of the manager of a branch of Askari Commercial Bank. Good selection of borrowers does the half task in the profit of the Bank. So banks do not throw the money away but every application is tested carefully before being sanctioned. It is the policy of Shakarganj Sugar Mill Ltd. to provide a outline to all of its branches and on the basis on those requirements the bank select the borrower. Following are the main points, which are considered before lending. 1.
Character
The bank inquires the character of the borrower in every aspect. Because this is the right way to judge his dealing and business tactics. When the bank get sure that this person has good relationship with us and in the business market, they give him the facility of credit. 2.
Capacity
This factor is related with the ability of the borrower to manage his business successfully. So this is checked that either they have necessary management, accounting and technical skills and the degree of experience in the particular line of business for which the finance is required. This ability of the customer can be judge from the trading results, turnover ratios, and collection of receivables and management of accounts payables. 3.
Capital
The proportions of the borrowers own resources to the account of finance requested are the next point to receive the branch managers attention. This is checked that both the amount of loan required by the person is equal to his resources available in his business and will he be able to cover them out of his resources.

215
4.
Cash Flows
The source of repayment should be ascertained at the beginning. For this purpose the
financial worth of the customer is checked that either he is able to repay the loan by the sale of his inventory or from realization of the accounts receivables, then the loan is sanctioned. 5.
Collaterals
Security is to be correctly looked upon as the second source of repayment. As we
have discussed that this is one of the most critical decisions for the credit management to sanction the loan thats why they require any collateral by the customer for the security of the loan. In case the borrower is unable to pay his debts then the amount can be recovered by selling the collaterals.
6.
Purpose
Another important factor, which is taken into the consideration by the bank, is that for what purpose the loan is being sanctioned. If the customer wants to get the loan for business purpose then he is given the preference over when he wants to get loan for personal use. 7.
Period
It is the policy of every lender that first the period of the loan is decided. Normally the short-term loans are preferred to be sanctioned because of the lesser risks available. ACBL Bank has its own policy of lending. It only sanction the loans for short term period not for the long term period, normally these are less than or equal to one year.
CLASSIFICATION OF ADVANCES
216
The loans and advances given by the bank are classified into two parts. Unsecured or Clean Advances. Secured Advances.
1.
Unsecured or Clean Advances
An unsecured advance is made against the personal reputation of the borrower with the bank. Normally these advances are given to the regular customers of the bank and have maintained a good dealing with the bank for many years. The policy of Askari Commercial Bank is to avoid such clean advances because of the unsecured nature. If the party is unable to repay the loan then it becomes very difficult for the bank to collect the loan. Thats why the bank uses this policy just to give this type of loan only to the exceptional customers.
2.
Secured Advances
The word security means any thing given to protect the repayment of an advance. This is the policy of every financial institution to provide the secured loans to the customers. So secured loans are those, which are backed by the tangible security. A tangible is that which has a physical existence for example Land and Building. Stocks. Share certificates NIT Units. Security of Cash in his Account.
TYPES OF ADVANCES
217
ACBL normally classify the advances into the following three major types. Agricultural Advances. Commercial Advances. Industrial Advances.

are running their businesses on a large scale can get the facility of these advances. These advances are in large amounts required for the import and exports of the goods and services. These advances are given on the credibility of the parties.
Credit Administration
When some one wants to obtain the loan and his loan is approved, the work of credit administrator starts. He prepares the documentations relating to the advances of the account holders and makes the further processing. He also prepares all the related reporting and then sends it to the head office. He also maintains the documents, which are required by the state bank of Pakistan. The filing of all the legal cases is also maintained by the credit administration. After that the officers maintain the credit accounts and ledgers of the customers.

The cardholder should have to pay all the amounts what he has consumed. But in order to facilitate the cardholder, 5% is the minimum limit that the bank requires and that should be paid monthly. If you paid only 5% then 2% interests will be charged on remaining amount and it is added into the next month payments. If that 5% is not paid then Rs. 100 are the additional charges charged to the next month payment apart form the 2% interest.

Problems faced by branch

During my internship at this particular branch of ACBL, there are following problems I have found which are directly affect on efficiency and performance of the bank. There problems are also called as an internal problems. So these are discussing below 1. Lack
of communication among the employees

They do not share the
During the period of my internship I found this problem as a biggest problem that, they are not very effective in communication between themselves. experience with each other and do not care the other employee. If one employee has a problem, then he asked to other, but he does not give clear solution to that problems. They are shows the facial expressions against each other.They are talk against each other in front of me. So finally it is very needy for a public services organization to keep atmosphere friendly among the management and employees.
2. Low Efficiency of employees

Efficiency of employees is also low at this branch. For example Mr. Assad Bhutta manager has 3 years experience at ACBL but he is not professional. Where he assign the result is zero. During my internship no body was satisfied from his performance. Sometimes he has done wrongly postings.
3. Lack of computing skills:

Computing skills are also low, some executive are very efficient in computing skills but some are not totally aware from this system. For example ATM machine at this branch is only handled to Mr. Naeem Shehzad manager. When operation manager is on leave branch faces problems about ATM machine.

222
4. Misuse
of resources
Resource are very needy, so there must be avoid to misuse the resources but in this branch it is reverse case, there is very wrong use of the resources, employees does not take care of resources and not used them in right direction. For example every person misuse telephone service even guards they use it for personal matters.
CONCLUSION
I observed the Askari Commercial bank a financially sound bank. Its profits are increasingly year-by-year. Its staff is very good and sincere with the bank. A Sheikh has made significant progress in building and strengthening both the corporate and retail banking sectors in Pakistan. Askari Commercial Bank views specialization and service excellence as the cornerstone of its strategy. The people at bank realize that innovation; creativity, reliability, customized, services and their execution are they key ingredients for their future growth. Revenues from these activities have started yielding dividends and they expect significant growth. They are aware that they have stepped into the 21st century and they must meet its challenges by acquiring the highest level of the technology. They will thus be accelerating their technological advance to enable them to distribute their products and services through most efficient and high tech means. They say that they will continue to invest in the modern tools and substantial allocation to resources will be made to achieve this objective during the current year. Online banking have been started and the introduction of ATM at strategic locations have been firmed up.

RECOMMENDATIONS
This is the fact that in this universe nothing is perfect. In every field of life there are some pluses and minuses. But the best institutions are those, which learn from the changing environment and competition. So it is necessary for them to keep them update with the changing environment. Although Shakarganj Sugar Mill Ltd. Ltd Church Road Jhang Branch is one of the good branch but there are few points that should be improved for more perfection. Marketing department is very active but the feedback or the follow up of the customers should be improved.
As every thing is computerized in Shakarganj Sugar Mill Ltd. Ltd Jhang, the persons should be properly trained in the computer systems. As we have discussed that this is one of the busy branches in Jhang market, its building is not as per the requirements of the branch. So the building should be further expanded and there should be more space for the sitting arrangements of the customers.
The ATM service should be provided 24 hours. Because customers feel upset when most of the times the machine is out of order. The staff should be decreased in Foreign exchange Dept.., Credit dept. because the building under operation is in adequate for such a large staff. Under no circumstances cheque book should be given to the customer if the account formalities are incomplete
Cheques, which are drawn on Shakarganj Sugar Mill Ltd. Ltd Jhang Branch and returned unpaid in clearing, are not reflected in the statement of account of the

224
Customers. This cheque must be reflected in the accounts so that credibility of the customers may be assessed. Audit should be held internally, rather there should be an audit department in the branches to make audit on daily basis. This can become so, helpful as a different banks are having this department of their own
. When giving the loan, the Bank must carefully analyze the past six months transaction history of the borrower. This will help in the judgment of the dealing behavior and financial status of the client. In most cases, this thing is not properly done and this is the major reason for the default of many clients.
The Bank should try to give more loans to the small borrowers as the past history shows that most of the loans given to the corporate borrowers have converted into bad debts
Evening banking should also be started in this branch.
