1. INTRODUCTION

The study is about the general operations and management of Allied Bank
Limited TENCH BHATTA BRANCH RWP,

Every student of MBA has to under go an internship program of SIX weeks in any
organization to get exposure to the real time business environment and to know what sort
of changes Information Technology brings in management activities.. The real purpose of
this internship program is to provide an opportunity to the students to see the practical
applications of their background professional studies.

The repot is a reflection on my experience when I was internee in ABL, . Since its
inception in 1942, ABL has maintained a steady growth over the sixty years span of its
operations. After its nationalization in 1974, it was denationalized in 1991 and the
employees became the owners of ABL, through the unique concept of ESOP (Employees
Stock Ownership Scheme).

1.1 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
Purpose of the study was two pronged.

General Purpose
• To get acquaintance to the banking operations.
• To know what sort of changes IT brings in managerial activities.
• To see the application of our Professional studies especially.

Specific Purpose
Specific purpose of the study includes.
• A partial fulfillment as a requirement for the completion of degree.
• To objectively observe the operations of Allied Bank of Ltd in general and the
operations of ABL, Tench Bazaar branch Rawalpindi in specific.
• To make recommendations or implementation plans for the improvement of the
operations of ABL, Tench Bazaar branch Rawalpindi in the light of our
professional studies.

NATURE OF THE STUDY

The study is critical in nature. It was conducted to investigate critically into the
operations of Allied Bank Ltd and it also explains that how ABL provides facility of
online banking to its customers. The annual reports or the consolidation data of the Bank
has not been focused in specific because it does not reflect on the operational
performance of branches. However, they have been referred to as when and where
required.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The study covers two areas with its variables, which affects the operations of the
branch directly, or indirectly. These two areas of variables are:

• Branch specific variable.
• Bank specific variable.

The branch specific variables are the variables under the control of the branch
management and directly affect its operations e.g.

• Layout of the branch.
• Customers’ relations.
• Departments in the branch
• ATM
• Online banking.

The bank specific variables are those variables, which are not in control of the branch
management e.g.

• History of ABL
• Services provided by ABL
• Role of ABL

HI STORY OF ABL

Established in December 1942 as the Australasia Bank at Lahore with a paid-up
share capital of PKR 0.12 million under the Chairmanship of Khawaja Bashir Bux, and
his business associates, including Abdul Rahman Malik who was amongst the original
Board of Directors, the bank had attracted deposits, equivalent to PKR 0.431 million in
its first eighteen months of business.
Total assets then amounted to PKR 0.572 million. Today Allied Bank's paid up Capital &
Reserves amount to Rs. 10.5 billion, deposit exceeded Rs. 143 billion and total assets
equal Rs. 170 billion. The Allied Bank's story is one of dedication, commitment to
professionalism, adaptation to changing environmental challenges resulting into all round
growth and stability, envied and aspired by many.


1942 - 1947: Pre I ndependence

In the early 1940s the Muslim community was beginning to realize the need for
the active participation in the field of trade and industry. The Hindus had since the late

Faisal Pervaiz-03315597157

4
1880s established a commanding presence in these areas and industry, trade and
commerce in the undivided Sub-continent was completely dominated by them. Banking,
in particular, was an exclusive enclave of the Hindus and it was widely believed, and
wrongly so, that Muslims were temperamentally unsuited for this profession.

It was particularly galling for Khawaja Bashir Bux and Abdul Rahman Malik to hear the
gibe that Muslims could not be successful bankers. They decided to respond to the
challenge and took lead in establishing this first Muslim bank on the soil of Punjab that
was to become Pakistan in December 1942; by the name of Australasia Bank Limited.
The initial equity of the Bank amounted to Rs 0.12 million, which was raised to Rs 0.5
million by the end of first full year of operation, and by the end of 30th June 1947 capital
increased to Rs. 0.673 million and deposits raised to Rs 7.728 million.

1947 to 1974: Australasia Bank

Australasia Bank was the only fully functional Muslim Bank on Pakistan territory
on August the 14th, 1947.

It had been severely hit by the riots in East Punjab. The bank was identified with the
Pakistan Movement. At the time of independence all the branches in India, (Amritsar,
Batala, Jalandhar, Ludhaina, Delhi and Angra (Agra)) were closed down. New Branches
were opened in Karachi, Rawalpindi, Rawalpindi, Sialkot, Sargodha, Jhang, Gujranwala
and Kasur. Later it network spread to Multan & Quetta.
The Bank financed trade in cloth and food grains and thus played an important role in
maintaining consumer supplies during riot affected early months of 1948. Despite the
difficult conditions prevailing and the substantial set back in the Bank’s business in India,
Australasia Bank made a profit of Rs 50,000 during 1947-48.

By the end of 1970 it had 101 branches. Unfortunately it lost 51 branches in the
separation of East Pakistan which became Bengladesh. The bank did well in despite
losing lot of its assets. By the end of 1973 the bank had 186 branches in West Pakistan.

1974 to 1991: Allied Bank

I 1974, the Board of Directors of Australasia Bank was dissolved and the bank was
renamed as Allied Bank. The first year was highly successful one: profit exceeded the Rs
10 million mark; deposits rose by over 50 percent and approached Rs 1460 million.
Investments rose by 72 percent and advances exceeded Rs 1080 million for the first time
in bank history. 116 new branches were opened during 1974 and the Bank started
participation in the spot procurement agriculture program of the Government. Those
seventeen years of the Bank saw a rapid growth. Branches increased from 353 in 1974 to
748 in 1991. Deposits rose from Rs 1.46 billion, and Advances and investments from Rs
1.34 billion to Rs 22 billion during this period. It also opened three branches in the UK.

ESOP Revolution

(Employee stock ownership plan)

Under the philosophy of ESOP ownership of an enterprise is transferred to its
employees who are in an advantageous position in running the enterprise. The added
advantage of ESOP that it strengthens the workers stake in the free enterprise system, in
job securities, better profitability & unique corporate culture symbolizing family feelings
& professional fraternity.

September 10,1991 is the historical date as on this date the bank became the country’s 1st
bank to be reconstituted as an institution jointly owned by its employees through the
unique concept of Employees Stock Ownership plan [ESOP] developed by the Allied
Management Group headed by Mr. Khalid Latif enabled the bank staff to react creatively
to the privatization challenge. More that 7500 staff members acquired a share in the bank
. The articulation of the ESOP is a landmark in the financial history of Pakistan-indeed of
the entire world .It is a practical step ensuring an increase in workers participation and in
productivity a means for enhancing an equitable redistribution of financial assets & an
effective strategy for achieving the cherished goal of national self-reliance.

1991 to 2004: Privatization

As a result of privatization in September 1991, Allied Bank entered in a new
phase of its history, as the world’s first bank to be owned and managed by its employees.
In 1993 the First Allied Bank Modaraba (FABM) was floated.

After privatization, Allied Bank registered an unprecedented growth to become one of the
premier financial institutions of Pakistan. Allied Bank’s capital and reserves were Rs.
1.525 (Billion) and assets amounted to Rs. 87.536 (Billion) and deposits were Rs. 76.038
(Billion). Allied Bank enjoyed an enviable position in the financial sector of Pakistan and
was recognized as one of the best amongst the major banks of the country.

In August 2004 as a result of capital reconstruction, the Bank’s ownership was
transferred to a consortium comprising Ibrahim Leasing Limited and Ibrahim Group.

Today the Bank stands on a solid foundation of over 63 years of its existence having a
strong equity, assets and deposits base offering universal banking services with higher
focus on retail banking. The bank has the largest network of on-line branches in Pakistan
and offers various technology based products and services to its diversified clientele

after which it will be given to cashier for payment.

1.3.2 ACCOUNT DEPARTMENT
Deposits the Life Blood of a Bank

Bank borrowing funds from outside parties is more important because the entire
banking system is based on it. Receiving of deposits is a basic function of all commercial
banks. Commercial banks do not receive these deposited for safekeeping purpose only.
When the bank receives the amount of deposited as a depositor, it become the owner of it.
The bank may therefore use these deposits, as it deems appropriate. But there is an
implicit agreement that the amount owned by the bank will be paid back to the depositors
on demand or after a specified period of time.

The borrowed capital of the bank is than the bank own capital. Bank’s borrowing
is mostly in the form of deposits. These deposits are lend-out to different parties. Larger
the difference between the rate at which these deposits are borrowed and the rate at which
they lend-out the greater will be the profit margin of the bank. Larger the funds lend-out
the greater will be the return earned on them and greater the amount of return on these
deposits earned greater will be the profit for the bank. It is because of this interrelated
relationship. Deposits are referred to as the “life blood small” for any banking sector.


1.3.3 ADVANCES DEPARTMENT

LENDING PRI NCI PLES

The basis function of the bank is to accept deposit and lend money to the
borrowers against a spread so to be able to give some profit to the depositors as well as to

ANALYSI S





















Faisal Pervaiz-03315597157

18
2.1 SWOT ANALYSIS

Threats. This is a careful evaluation of an organization’s strengths to avail an opportunity
by overcoming its weaknesses and phasing out all he threats to its survival in order to
grow and survive.

2.1.1 Strengths
• This branch is provided with 3 fax machines, more than 7 telephone connections,
which makes communication easier with different branches

them to serve customer in better way.

provides a competitive edge to the Branch.
• The branch is situated in commercial area were business activities perform
greater as compare to residential area. Thus it increases the number of customers.
• The Branch has the most experienced and the least experienced staff, which is a
good combination of experienced heads and exuberance of youth.
• The branch is the main branch in the areas, which is another plus point for the
Branch.

process provides an opportunity to the Branch to have more of the Hundi
customers as the Bank customers.

2.1.2Weaknesses

• The Branch has a good staff combination on the basis of experience, but their
training capabilities are not up to the requirements of the fast changing banking
environment.
• The customer’s Long-term contacts are not maintained with customers.

Faisal Pervaiz-03315597157

19
• The technical training of the staff is negligible e.g. in case of the absence of
computer there is no alternate trained personal who can record the daily
transactions.
• The organization is very much mechanistic and provides no flexibility to encourage
creativity.
• The lower staff is non cooperative as compared the lower staff of other branches.
• The control of manager is not effective.
• The discretionary powers of manger are very low to offer more incentives and
value added services to its customers.
• There is a lack of commitment and professionalism on part of the employees. The
staff is always in a hurry to leave the bank as soon as possible. They were also
observed to starting their operations comparatively late.
• The organizational culture is not cooperative
• Nepotism was observed on part of the manger as well as the top management
towards some staff members.
• The branch has no industrial accounts.
• The level of technology management in the branch is very low. The technology
available is not maintained well mainly because of the lack of technically trained
staff. For instance the scanner, in spite of its availability has not been used for
scanning the specimen signature cares.
• In spite of the presence of technology many jobs are done manually such as the
letters, drafts for fax messages and other calculations, which could be easily, done
in MS Word and Ms Excel.
• The branch lacks some physical facilities such as clean washrooms which can
affect employee’s performance
• The layout of the branch is such that it is hindering the flow of work on one hand
and the documents are lying exposed which can be easily taken away by any person
entering the branch.

Faisal Pervaiz-03315597157

20
• The job distribution is not up to the mark. The immediate result of this immediate
result of which is:

Ø The filing system is not up-to-date. Much time is wasted while searching for
even a week old document.
Ø The staff spent ore time in collections than required.

• Delays were observed because the prescribed procedures are not followed.
• Though ABL, Tench Bazaar branch in the area it lack specialized counters or
facilities such as:

Ø Investment advisory counters;
Ø Leasing or leasing arrangements;
Ø Credit services.
• The four branches of Allied bank in Rawalpindi are closely located where most of
the services offered are not at all differentiated.
• No efforts are made to recover the outstanding debts.
• There is no facility for receiving and satisfying complaints and inviting
suggestions.
• Foreign currency accounts are not entertained. The main reason for these negative
responses that the staff is not trained in dealing foreign currency accounts.
• Customers’ coming to the Bank for TTs TCs etc. are not received with open hearts
and thus deprives the bank of revenues.
• Some shortcomings on part of Allied Bank of Pakistan, which affects the operations
of the bank Tench Bazaar branch:

Ø There is a lack of functional and proper research and development, which
could scan the micro and macro environmental data for future planning and
strategy.

Faisal Pervaiz-03315597157

21
Ø Financial audits are conducted but operational audits have not received proper
attention as much as it should get.
Ø There is no procedure, which could encourage the middle and lower level
management to initiate creativity.

2.1.3 Opportunities

• The biggest opportunity for the ABL, Tench Bazaar branch Rawalpindi is the
greater number of Christine customers who get their payments through ABL,
Bank Tench Bazaar branch. These customers can be easily convinced to open
their accounts with ABL.
• A considerable portion of the labor force of the area is serving overseas. Their
families can be encouraged to use ABL as channel for remittances.
• The Internet facility in the area provides an opportunity to ABL to get Online.
• The Bank has the basic infrastructure, which can facilitate the online process.
• The location of the ABL, Tench Bazaar branch itself provides an opportunity to
ABL to get more and less cost deposits.
• The group from its survey and analysis of IT companies have found out that there
are many companies which are not satisfied with its current bank, so Tench
branch with its superior service quality and long working hours can capture those
customers
2.1.4 Threats

• The biggest threat to the operational success of the branch is the better
competitor’s services. Many private sector banks are offering higher rates of return
to customers than Allied Bank of Pakistan.
• Cannibalization of profits is yet another threat to the success of Bank Tench Bazaar
branch. The branche of Allied Bank are located very close to the Soneri Bank
Tench Bazaar branch. All these branches are taking away each other’s customers.

Faisal Pervaiz-03315597157

22
• One of the biggest to the ABL, Tench Bazaar branch is the increasing rate of
dissatisfies customers. Most of these customers were observed to be dissatisfied
with the delays in their servicing.
• The greatest threats to the performance of ABL, Tench Bazaar branch are the
decreasing morale of employees. They feel that they are not provided with bonuses.
They are not given proper attention to have a say in the annual meetings. The proxy
forms are signed on their behalf without letting them know.
• High-pressure interest groups are developing which poses a constant threat to
Allied Bank.


2.2 PEST ANALYSIS:-

2.2.1 POLITI CAL

Pakistan despite all international and public perceptions, today is a functioning
democracy and gradually there is a change in complexion and composition of
legislatures with more educated people and women (27% of National Assembly and
17% of Senate) entering into politics Similarly it helps in designing best strategies
to implement that could support the revival of bank industry. Like in the era of
nationalization banks had to suffer as other industries that’s why that impact is still
found in the performance of this industry.

2.2.2 ECONOMI CAL

Although banking sector development is important at the early stage of economic
growth, general liberalization presuming a homogeneous bank role may not
necessarily promote growth. The estimated cost structure indicates that state-owned
commercial banks are large enough, while development financial institutions and
private banks can expect to obtain cost-saving advantages by expanding their
operations. Since scope economies are significant, portfolio diversification generally
increases bank profits. In addition, privatized banks are the most efficient, followed by
foreign and private banks. Public banks are the least efficient.

2.2.3 SOCI AL

Banks always helped people in improvement of living condition of poor people in
various forms like giving loans to poor for starting business or directly providing them
the instruments that could enhance their living conditions. Similarly Allied Bank
always tried to provide the needy people loans on soft terms and also helped to

Faisal Pervaiz-03315597157

23
eradicate unemployment by providing job opportunities Recent high growth trends
coupled with enhanced spending on social and
005/2006 has together begun to pay some dividends as evident from the reversal
in poverty incidence trends and social indicators.

2.2.4 TECHNOLOGY

The Banking sector in Pakistan has experienced a rapid transformation. Just about
a decade back this sector was limited to the Sarkari (read nationalized) and co-
operative banks. Then came the multi-national banks, but these were confined to
serving an elite few. One could regard the past as the 'medieval ages' in the banking
industry, wherein every branch of the same bank acted as an independent
information silo and multi-channel banking (ATMs, Net banking, Tele-banking, etc)
was almost non-existent. Today banks have to look much beyond just providing a
multi-channel service platform for its customers. There are other pressing issues
that banks need to address in order to chalk-out a roadmap for the future. Here
are the top three concerns in the mind of every bank's CEO. The customer is
interested in how he/she can benefit from the bank and its products. That's why it
becomes necessary for a bank to differentiate its products from the others. Some of
the ways in which differentiation can be introduced are through specialization, new
products, and increasing the added value

3.1 CONCERN DEPARTMENT , DUTI ES & LEARNING

My duties at the bank during my internship were of the diversified nature. I was rotated
in the different departments of the bank. I was also assigned with some responsibilities of the
minor level. They gave me some assignments as well to give me the true exposure of
practical work environment. So my duties can be categorized department wise as under:

collection of demand draft amount, Outward Bill for Collection (OBC), fill in the deposit
slips presented by the customers, enter the proceedings in concerned registers.


ONLINE FACI LI TY PROVI DER DEPARTMENT

Online banking is a wide spreading concept in banking sector. This department mainly
performs the basic operation of fund transfer and other functions facilitating the transfer
and enquiries. I observed the basics of the department. I didn’t have the opportunity to
seek the details because the online department is a sensitive area and also electronic
based.

I prepared online transfer slips foe the customers. I also informed the customers of their
account balance, account status and about other queries available online.



CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT

This department serves as the front representative of the bank. Multiple tasks are
executed in this department. I was asked to observe different complaints received by the
bank by its customers. I maintained the sundry account register, suspense account
register. I put the applications received for the ATM cards in the register. I also had to
maintain the register maintained to record the receipt of new account opening forms
along with the register kept for recording those ATM cards, which have been delivered

FOREIGN EXCHANGE DEPARTMENT

This is the department with a very vast scope and a variety of dimensions. There, I had to
maintain the record of some Letters of Credit (LCs). I was liable for making drafts of
outgoing SWIFT messages. I also made the entries of incoming SWIFT messages in the
register. I was asked to enter the particulars of I-form (Import form) and E-form (Export
form) in their respective registers.

Faisal Pervaiz-03315597157

26
ADVANCES AND CREDI T DEPARTMENT

In this department I was given some files to study, which were about the applications of
credit to be approved. The person in charge of there briefed me about the term and
conditions on which the bank accepts or rejects an application foe the credit. In this
department, like the online department, I didn’t have an opportunity to practically handle
the work due to the sensitive nature of the work.


DIVERSE DUTI ES

Apart from the duties mentioned above, I had to perform some other duties as well. The
prominent amongst them is called “Calling” in the banking jargon. It’s manual checking
of the record produced by the computer pertaining encashment, transfer and collection of
cheques and other instruments like deposit slips and online slips. I had to work with the
person responsible of keeping the record of DD payable. I was assigned with the duty of
keeping the record of DD payable of a given period.


NEW KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED

Faisal Pervaiz-03315597157

CLEARI NG AND COLLECTI ON

There are two types of clearing/collection cheques

1 Inward clearing/collection
2 Outward clearing/collection

CLEARI NG CHEQUES

This department receives negotiable instruments drawn on local branches of other banks.
NIFT clearing house, in which cheques and other negotiable instruments are brought by
each local bank representative and the claims of each bank on other is offset and a
settlement is made by the payment of difference. Clearing system is helpful for both the
customers and bank in saving money, time and labour.

PROCEDURES

The cheques and drafts come to branch from different BANKS. They enter the
particulars of the cheques on a register. After this process the balance with total drafts
and total amount are given to the representative. ABL works under the rules and
regulations prescribed byf State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and has an account with SBP.
The clearinghouse of SBP (NIFT), through whom brnches forward/receive-clearing
cheques along with a schedule conducts clearing.
The clerk of forwarding branch prepares the schedule and vouchers of all the claearing
cheques, which he receives by the clerk on that day and sends these cheques to the
checking officer. Checking officer passes these cheques and vouchers by his initials,
endorsement stamp and branch special crossing stamp. Clerk posts the contra entries of
these vouchers in the clearing register. Representatives’ banks collect these cheques.
Next day at 8:30 A.M. representatives of all local banks and foreign banks exch The

Next day at 8:30 A.M. representatives of all local banks and foreign banks exchange
their cheques, which are drawn on their banks.

The clearinghouse debits/credits the payee/receipt branch with the total amount of the
cheques paid on their behalf. The settlement of book entries e.g., if ABL is to give Rs. 2

Faisal Pervaiz-03315597157

28
Million to UBL and UBL has to give Rs.1 million to ABL then ABL will draw a cheque
of 1 Million in favour of UBL. SBP will debit this amount from ABL account and credit
of UBL account. In this way mutual cross debiting and crediting in the books of SBP
settle obligation of banks

PAK ACCOUNT

All the inter-bank adjustments will be affected through head office account called Pak
account. It will be essential for the branch to advise pak account of each transaction so
that they may also pass the necessary entries in their books. The NIFT will send a
consolidated debit/credit advice to the branches in respect of clearing cheques delivered
to or received from the branches. The amount of the advice will agree with the total be

will similarly send advice to the branches of the returns, if any. Copies of all advices will

transfer and delivery of cheques. The same clearing cheque procedure will be adopted in
the transfer deliveries except in case when the facility of SBP is not availed. In case of
cheques drawn on one branch and collected by an other branch for the credit of its
constituents, the branch delivering the cheques will send a consolidated debit advice. If
any cheque is returned unpaid, aBranch receives the cheques and other negotiable
instrument drawn on other branches of the same bank. Main branch of ABL handles the
credit advice will be sent to the branch returning the cheque
.
COLLECTI ON CHEQUES OR OBC

The collection cheques/OBCs are the cheques, which we have cleared for our
customers when some of our customers receive the cheque that is of some other city.
These types of cheques are known as collection cheques or the other name we gave them
is OBC

PROCEDURE OF COLLECTION

On the cheque there is written that the person to whom it may concern can cash it from
the certain branch of the bank in favour of which it’s drawn. The customer presents the
cheque to his branch, which send a document called “OBC” to the bank that has
to make the payment. The clearing department of the receiving bank follows a prescribed
procedure and credits the amount to sending bank through a central account
maintained by each bank with SBP. ABL sends the cheque to it’s own branch if available
for collection from the payer’s bank otherwise the OBC is directly sent to other bank.


Faisal Pervaiz-03315597157

29

MAINTAI NING REGI STER for OBCs

We have a register in which we have the serial no for OBCs with other details
like amount, date, sending and receiving branches’ codes. Every OBC is entered
in tha register on daily basis. If OBC is not cleared due to what ever fault, we take it
back as a return but after that we call the concerned person and we also write name of
the perso

ACCOUNT OPENI NG

I learnt how to open a new account. The person willing to open an account has
o complete the account opening forms, which has several particulars pertaining to
personal information of the person.
The bank makes sure that all the information provided by the person is
authentic. Along with the information given by the person himself, bank requires
introduction of an already existing account holder of the same bank but preferably
of the same branch.
The bank also requires account no. and copy of the introducer’s NIC.
Bank also requires a copy of the NIC from account opening person. He will also have to
provide two samples of his specimen signatures for any withdrawal of amount. In case of
illiterate person, he will provide the bank with his left thumb impression along with two
photographs. In case of a Pardah Observing lady, the bank prefers not to open an
account but if so, it will require her to provide impressions of her both thumbs.
After all this formality, the bank after a few days sends a letter of thanks to the address of
the person disclosed in the AOF. When the letter is received, the person may come to
bank and collect his cheque book
The bank also informs its head office about the new accounts and also charges nominal
amount at first time.

MATTER OF ZAKAT

The deductions of Zakaat from the account of Muslims are made on the 1st
Ramadan according to the Islamic rate. But the people who do not want the bank to
deduct Zakaat and want to disburse it at their own, they have to provide an affidavit on a
prescribed format provided by the bank.

ONLINE TRANSFER

The department providing online facility to the customers, I liked the most. I learnt
different procedures regarding this department. I learnt the process of online transfer. The
whole this process need is filling of a slip, and cheque or cash. In the slip the name of
remote branch and account number of the remote person must be entered. If the person is
not an account holder of the bank then he has to attach his NIC copy with the slip for his
identification. The person availing this facility submits the cash on the cash counter and

Faisal Pervaiz-03315597157

30
then gives the slip to the host person at the department, who then enters the data in the
computer. In this way the money is transferred to an account through PAK account,
which is the central account of the bank and all the inter branch transactions has to go
through this process.

LEARNI NGS I N FOREIGNEXCHANGE & ADVANCES DEPTT

As an internee I learnt many things some of which I have described above. The
remaining few include the processes involved in the foreign exchange and advances
department. Now a day, both of these departments are considered to be the backbone of
any bank. Foreign exchange department brings foreign reserves. Mostly import and
export business takes place through foreign exchange department.
Advances/Credit department is equally important. This department gives the bank a real
business. The bank gives money to the borrowers on interest and earns a lot in this way.
The bank lends money against some guarantee or pledges some property for this purpose.
So that in case the customer cannot pay back money, the bank can meet over come its
expenditures.

HOW EXPERIENCE I MPACTS MY CAREER


My internship experience has given me a realistic preview of practical life. Now I feel
that I am better prepared to enter the world of professional work. I have come to know
and been appreciated by a number of professionals who are lending their services to the
banking sector for more than a decade.
I feel honored that I have worked with such experienced professionals. I must admit that
such interaction in this respectable professional community will help me in seeking out
good job opportunities in the near future.Each task I performed was a different
experience in itself. By the end of it, I must say I realize my potentials, I have realized
that practical life is not so easy after all, it takes alot of hard work and devotion, and not
to forget time

. And I now know that if I want I can make things possible, and I also know how good it
feels to having accomplished something and being appreciated for it. I definitely have
learnt things, which will impact my career and my character.The overall experience of
my internship was very good; I have learnt the sense of responsibility in its literal
meaning. I am now capable of dealing with different sort of customers, and how to be
patient while doing so. Besides this I also gained knowledge about banking which I
previously lacked and many more products being offered by the bank. So in a nutshell,
this internship gave me the experience, which would no doubt boost my confidence to
work in future.

5.1 CONCULSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The critical analysis ABL in the previous section is the representation of its past,
mirror of its present, and an insight into its future. The past data of ABL Tench Bazaar
branch enabled me to study the organization in a historical perspective and understand
the nuisances in the banking operations. Study of he present of ABL helped me evaluate
the organization in comparison to its future and competitors

. The data obtained from the analysis of its present and future in combination with my
professional studies resulted in some suggestions and implementation plans, which can
help to increase the profitability and operational success of the ABL, Tench Bazaar
branch Rawalpindi.

Some of the major findings suggestions are discussed.

PHYSI CAL FACILI TI ES.

The physical facilities or the layout are the most fundamental features in an
organization, which the customers observe in forming an opinion, perception or idea
about the organization. Therefore, every organization tries to make a good first
impression on customers through the presentation of its physical facilities or layout. The
physical facilities in the branch are not up to the mark, which requires timely changes to
provide good environment to customers. The suggested changes and corrective actions
are gives below:

• The lighting system must be improved and all the out of use lights must be
replaced.
• There is always a stinking smell in the Bank due to the out of order condition of
washroom. Therefore the washroom must be brought into order to remover this
unpleasant smell.
• Generators should be made available to the branch to minimize the disruptions
due to power failure.
• Newspaper should be provided to the customers to avoid the pain of waiting long.
• A cash counting machine can help reduce the time spent in counting cash.



Faisal Pervaiz-03315597157

43
AVAILABILI TY OF STAFF

The existing staff in the Bank is overburdened due to the non-availability of more
staff. Staff in the branch must be in proportion to the customer has so as to expedite the
workflow, avoid overloading of staff and remove the customer’s grievances arising
mainly due to delay in workflow.

The additional staff required is in the fallowing categories.
• More technically trained staff should be added to the existing staff
strength
• One staff assistant or grade 2 officers properly trained in computer and
sufficiently trained in foreign currency accounts.
• One employee of grade 4 should be hire on daily wages or contract, to maintain
filing.
COMMITMENT OF EMPLOYEES

The decreasing commitment of employees can be increased by introducing an
effective performance appraisal system, which can reward and recognize the
achievements and services of employees for the Bank.
The appraisal system must have the following features.

• Feed Back:
Periodically provided to employees and recognizing their efforts through reward
(bonuses) and publicly appreciation.
• Uniform:
The appraisal system must be uniform in evaluating all the employees without
any discrimination.
• Objectivity:
The appraisal system must be based on facts and figures and objective evaluation
of the facts on grounds.




Faisal Pervaiz-03315597157

44
SI MPLI FI CATI ON OF ADVANCES

The biggest source of the bank revenue is advances. The advances of ABL, Tench
Bazaar branch are on him decreasing trend, causing a decrease in the revenue for the
bank. The bank should make the advance procedure simple and quick to meet the
customer’s requirements. The following steps are suggested for simplifying the advance
procedure.

• Increasing the discretion of manager for the amount of advance to Rs. 100,000.
• Speeding up the process of investigation and verification.
• Expanding its customer base.

MARKETI NG CONCEPT

The concept of marketing should be followed in every aspect of the organization.
Generally, the bank’s staff considers that marketing is to go to customers, beg them for
opening an account with the Bank and to abide by his every just and unjust action

They should be taught that marketing is not only to go to customers only. A customer can
also be attracted by provided customer oriented services, showing empathy to your
customers and attending him personally.

CUSTOMER ORIENTATI ON

Deposits are the main source of funds for commercial banks. Therefore, the
priority of every bank is to increase the number and amount of deposits. The key to
successful business does not lie in simply attracting new customers. The real success is to
maintain in the old customers and attract new customers at the same time because
retaining a customer is more difficult than attracting new customers.

• Every depositor should be given equal importance and there should be no
differentiation between customers so that every customer feels himself as much
important as the other customer.
• The attitude of the staff should be friendly to all the customers. The customers
should be taken to the concerned person or guided friendly if the concerned
person is not available. The attitude of “that’s not my job” should not exist
anymore.


Faisal Pervaiz-03315597157

45
MOBILI ZATI ON OF LESS COST DEPOSI TS

The analysis of expenses shows that 43% of expenses of the bank are the
payments on fixed deposits, which is a very high proportion. Apart from this the interest
earned on advances Rs. 0.265 million is smaller than the interest paid on different
deposits Rs. 4.1 millions

The bank should launch a campaign to get less cost deposits much as high amount
current account as well as low cost PLS saving accounts.

I INFORMATI ON ACCESS

The Bank should provide information to all the present and potential customers
relating to the new products, services, some service’s fee structure and other matters,
which are likely to affect the customers. It should be made sure that all the customers
have access to this information. Conveying information is of no use, unless, there is some
feedback from the customers. The following measures are suggested to implement this
suggestion.

• Brochures, hand outs, pamphlets and other printed reports must be provided to
customers, which should provide all the information necessary to attract and
retain customers and to satisfy the customer’s need for more information.
• Personal contacts with the customers can help in providing information to
customers. All the customers must be provided a chance to get the desired
information by personal contact with the Bank staff.
• Complaint and suggestion box should be maintained at the door of the Bank
where the customers can point out drawbacks in the customer’s services and put
forward their suggestions on his improvement of the services quality of the Bank.

PERFORMANCE AUDI T

The financial audit of the bank is conducted on regular basis both as a surprise
and routine audit. However, the performance and system audits are completely ignored
which, other wise, should have been a compulsory part of the auditing services of the
Bank. The immediate outcome of ignoring performance outcome is shortcoming in the
non-financial aspects of this organization such as customer relations, lack of necessary
facilities, motivation of employees, and the control of manager.


Faisal Pervaiz-03315597157

46
In the light of the above facts it is suggested that the performance audit of the bank must
be carried out on both regular and surprise basis to keep the Bank competitive in the run
of for more customers, more deposits and high profitability.

CAMPAIGN FOR I NCREASI NG THE DEPOSI TS

The numbers of account holders in a bank make a significant contribution to the
deposits of the Bank and determine its business volume, profits and size of a bank.
Therefore, ABL, Tench Bazaar branch must a clear plan for increasing the number of
accounts. The details of plan for increasing the number of accounts are given in the
implementation plan.

ATM NETWORK PROBLEM

I have found some problems with ATM network. Many customers have
complaints that their requests placed on ATMs don’t carry out. It is mainly because of
bad PTCL lines. Distortion in lines of PTCL restricts the execution of requests placed on
ATM machines by customers. Although there is a network of dedicated lines for ATM
machines, a request may not be successfully carried out because of complicated request
processing. A successful execution of a request needs to be approved from three places:
§ The branch (online) with which the customer (placing the request) have the account.
§ Main branch of that area (city).
§ The head office (in Karachi).
So connecting to all of these three places simultaneously and getting the request approved
is a complicated process. However management claims that there is nothing wrong with
processing. The only problem lies with PCL lines. So to solve this problem the bank
should hire technicians who can work during public holidays to make the ATM useable
while it shows any distortion.

CASH DEPOSI TES USI NG ATM

Now-a-days in foreign countries ATM machines are also used for deposits of
money and utility bills can b paid up through ATM. But in Pakistan these services have
not been utilized yet. So if ABL upgrades its ATM technology so definitely it will get the
competitive advantage over other banks.

NETWORKI NG AMONG BANKS

In allied bank the networking is only done with in the bank, means the customer
can’t transfer his funds to other bank through online. The account holder who has the
debit card can transfer his money to other bank account through ATM. But the customer
who doesn’t have account but some one gave him a habib bank cheque to transfer it

Faisal Pervaiz-03315597157

47
online through near situated Allied bank. So the allied bank can’t transfer it to habib bank
via online. So I recommend an idea that there should be a networking among different
banks so that they can transfer funds via online.

MANUAL VOUCHERS SYSTEM

As all the ledger system and vouchers are made manually which is a much time
consuming job and it also requires much more efforts most importantly human error
chances are there that’s why if the organization implement “SAP FINANCE MODULE”
in their current saving department that will help them creating automatic vouchers and
ledger if any transaction is made by customer because SAP has the capability to keep all
the records of a an individual at just one place and it has the capacity to store much data.

ONLINE LOANS

I have found that there is no online facility to apply for a loan. Where as, in other
banks especially in foreign banks the customer who has an account in the same bank, can
apply for a loan through internet. So that he can save his time from going physically to
the bank.
