MCB Internship Report

INTERNSHIP REPORT ON MCB BANK LIMITED
INTRODUCTION
The word 'Bank' is said to have been derived from the words
Bancus or Banque or Bank. This history of banking is traced to as
early as 2000 B.C. The priests in Greece used to keep money and
valuables of the people in temples. These priests thus acted as
financial agents. The origin of banking is also traced to early
goldsmiths. They used to keep strong safes for storing the money
and valuables of the people. The persons who had surplus money
found it safe and convenient of deposit their valuables with them.
The first stage in the development of modern banking, thus, was
the accepting of deposits of cash from those persons who had
surplus money with them.
The goldsmiths used to issue receipts for the money deposited

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

The goldsmiths soon discovered that all the people who had
deposited money with them do not come to withdraw their funds
in cash. They found that only a few persons presented the

receipts for encashment during a given period of time. They also
found that most of the money deposited with them was lying idle.
At the same time; they found that they were being constantly
requested for loan on good security. They thought it profitable to
lend at least some of the money deposited with them to the
needy persons. This proved quite a profitable business for the_
goldsmiths. They instead of charging safe keeping charges from
the depositors began to give them interest on the money
deposited with them. This was the third stage in the development
of banking.

DEFINITION OF BANK
The term 'bank' is being used for a long time, yet it has no
precise definition. The basic reason is that the commercial banks
perform not just one but many types of functions. The term bank
has been defined differently by different authors. Some are as
follows:
According to Crowther,
"Bank is a dealer in debts—his own and of other people."
According to G.W. Gilbert,

"A banker is a dealer in capital or more properly a dealer in
money. He is an intermediate party between the borrower and the
lender. He borrows from one party and lends to another."
According To Bamkinh Companies Ordinance

U/s3 (B) of Banking Companies Ordinance 1962 "Banker means
person transacting the business of accepting for the purpose of
lending or investment, of deposits of money from the public,
repayable on demand or otherwise and withdraw able by cheque,
draft, order or otherwise and includes any Post Office Savings
Bank."

HISTORY OF BANKING IN PAKISTAN
The interesting point which I observed during the span of mine

internship was the historical background of Banking & Financial
sector which is the one in which great improvement and growth is
observed since the formation of Pakistan. For studying the
growth of this sector we can divide it into three stages, which
are as follows
a) Pre-Nationalization Era
b) Nationalization Era
c) Post Nationalization Era
A) Pre Nationalization Era
There were only two Muslim banks in Indo Pak before partition,
they were;
Habib Bank Ltd. (estd. in 1941 at Bombay) & Australia Bank Ltd.
(estd. In 1944 at Lahore). Hindus or Foreigners either owned all
other banks, at that time.
At the time of partition there were 631 bank branches in area,
which came under Pakistani control. But due to blood shed and
violence at large scale, mostly branches were closed and the
disparity can be assessed from the fact that on July 1948 there

4
were 195 branches with deposits of Rs.88 crore (880 million) only.
Also a factor lagging in Pakistani industry was a central bank of
its own, by that time Reserve Bank of India was acting as central
bank for both countries and same currency notes were used in
both territories. But Reserve Bank of India was biased and Set
down Pakistan on many occasions such as the issue of funds
transfer etc.
In this period drastic steps were taken in government sector for
the improvement of overall position. The private sector also
responded to these changes and some very positive changes were
observed. Some of the steps taken by the government in this
regard were as under:
i. Inauguration of State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on 1st July,
1948.
ii. Setting up of National Bank of Pakistan in November, 1949
to control the 'jute' export in East Pakistan and to act as
agent of SBP.
iii. Larger powers were given to SBP through SBP Act (1956)
for controlling purposes.
iv. Banking Companies Ordinance 1962 for protection and
guidance to banks.
v. Establishment of specialized banks, such as ADBP (1952);
a) HBFC (Nov, 1952);

b) P1CIC (Oct, 1957)
c) IDBP (Aug. 1961);
d) NDFC (Jan, 1973).

5
These were the steps, which built a strong banking sector in

Pakistan. This is also obvious from the facts that by 1973 there
were almost 10 foreign banks were working in Pakistan and all
over deposit position was around Rs.2300 crore (23,000 million).
A bird eye view of 5 top banks was as given below:
BANKING SECTOR IN PAKISTAN IN 1973
BANK NO.OF BRANCHES DEPOSITS

Habib Bank Ltd. 667 Rs. 6,160 (million)
National bank of 579 Rs. 5,660 (million)
Pakistan Ltd.
United Bank Ltd 497 Rs. 5,670 (million)
MCB Bank Ltd. 506 Rs. 1,640 (million)
Allied Bank Ltd. 145 Rs. 570 (million)

6
B) Nationalization Era:
On January 01, 1974 all Pakistani banks were nationalized through
Nationalization Act 1974. Under this law all Pakistani banks
became a public property. All small banks were merged in bigger
banks to create 5 major Pakistani banks Pakistani banks. These
banks were to control by Pakistan Banking Council. There are still
controversies about this act of government as whether it
contributed in success of failure of banks. However the major
changes after nationalization were as follows:
 Working of banks was extended to under developed

areas.
 Market expansion for credit and deposits.
 Bank were encouraged to extend cooperation to
neglected areas
 Decrease in service level of bank officers.
 Decrease in profitability as well.

7
C) POST NATIONALIZATION ERA

In 1990 the government decided to denationalize all the
nationalized institutes. Some was also suggested in banking
sector. For this purpose, amendments were made to
Nationalization Act 1974 and two nationalized banks were
privatized. Along with this a permission to open banks in private
sector was also granted. The rules regarding establishment of
new banks and for incoming foreign banks were also relaxed.
The-three privatized banks are;
a) MCB taken up by a private group in April, 1991
b) ABL taken up by its own employees in September 1991.

c) UBL taken up by UAE party in 2002.
After these changes a large number of private and foreign banks
started their operations in Pakistan and the present status can
be seen from the following figures:

HISTORY OF THE MCB BANK LIMITED
Before separation of Indo Pak, the need for more Muslim banks
was felt. And Muslims having strong financial capacity were
thinking to invest in this sector as well. This was the idea which
paved the way for setting up MCB Bank Ltd known as MCB. This
was the third Muslim bank in the subcontinent.
HISTORY
This bank was incorporated under companies’ act 1913 on 9th July,
1947 (just before partition) at Calcutta. But due to changing
scenario of the region, the certificate of incorporation was
issued on 17th August, 1948 with a delay of almost 1 year; the
certificate was issued at Chitagong. The first Head office of the
company was established at Dacca and Mr. G.M. Adamjee was
appointed its first chairman. It was incorporated with an
authorized capital of Rs. 15 million.
After some time the registered office of the company was
shifted to Karachi on August 23rd, 1956 through a special
resolution, now recently the Head office of MCB has been
transferred to Islamabad in July, 1999 and now Head office is
termed as Principle Office.

13
This institute was nationalized with other on January 1st, 1974.

At that time it had 506 branches and deposits amounting to Rs.
1,640 million. Although. MCB has a reputation of a conservative
bank but nationalization also left its effects on this institute as
well and by end of year 1991 in which it was privatized the total
number of branches were 1.287 and deposits amounting to as high
as Rs. 35,029 million
PRIVATIZATION
When privatization policy was announced in 1990, MCB was the
first to be privatized upon recommendations of World Bank and
IMF. The reason for this choice was the better profitability
condition of the organization and less risky credit portfolio which
made'' it a good choice for investors. On April 8th, 1991, the
management control was handed over to National Group (the
highest bidders). Initially only 26% of shares were sold to private
sector at Rs. 56 per share.
AFTER PRIVATIZATION
Ten years after privatization, MCB is now in a consolidation stage
designed to lock in the gains made in recent years and prepare
the groundwork for future growth. The bank has restructured its
asset portfolio and rationalized the cost structure in order to
remain a low cost producer.
After privatization, the growth in every department of the bank
has been observed. Following are some key developments:

14
• Launching of different deposit schemes to increase saving

level.
• Increased participation on foreign trade.
• Betterment of branches and staff service level.
• Introduction of Rupee Traveler Cheques & Photo Credit
Card for the first time in Pakistan.
MCB BANK TODAY
MCB today, represents a bank that has grown with time,

experience and Pakistan. A major financial institution, in scope
and size, it symbolizes a fully growing tree evergreen, strong, and
firmly rooted.
FOREIGN TRADE
The bank conducted import business during the year amounting to

RS. 54.0 billion as compare to RS. 56.4 Billion In 2005. The
export business slightly improves to RS. 36.9 Billion From RS.
35.1 Billion. In 2006. Home remittances decline to RS. 16.7 Billion
From 30.7 Billion the decline in home remittances business was
due to freezing of Foreign Currency Accounts, which has
affected the confidence of Pakistanis working overseas.
YEAR 2006 COMPLIANCE

15
MCB’s strength lies in providing a technological base at the gross

root level of the society with a challenge to educate and
assimilate such systems across vast cultural and economic
backgrounds. With over 768 automated branches, 263 online
branches, over 151 MCB ATMs in 27 cities nationwide and a
network of over 16 banks on the MNET ATM switch, MCB
continuously innovates new products and services that harness
technology for the customer’s benefits.
SOCIAL SECTOR
The bank activity participating in the Prime Minister self-

employment Scheme. The application received from various
applicants is being processed on merit and disposed off as quickly
as possible.
THE BUSINESS
MCB is in it’s over 50 years of operation. It has a network of

over 1,000 branches all over the country with business
establishments in Sri Lanka and Bahrain. The branch break-up
province wise is Punjab (57%), Sindh (21%), NWFP (19%) and
Blochistan (3%) respectively.
MCB has an edge over other local banks, as it was the first
privatized bank. The State Bank of Pakistan has restricted the
number of branches that can be opened by foreign banks, an
advantage that MCB capitalizes because of its extensive branch
network.
Fourteen years after privatization, MCB is now in a consolidation

stage designed to lock in the gains made in recent years and

16
prepare the groundwork for future growth. The bank has

restructured its asset portfolio and rationalized the cost
structure in order to remain a low cost producer.
MCB now focuses on three core businesses namely Corporate,

Commercial and Consumer Banking. Corporate clientele includes
public sector companies as well as large local and multi national
concerns. MCB is also catering to the growing middle class by
Providing new asset and liability products. The Bank provides 24

hour banking convenience with the largest ATM network in
Pakistan covering 27 cities with over 151 ATM locations. The
Bank’s Rupee Traveller Cheques have been market leaders for the
past six years and have recently launched their Gift Cheque
Scheme.
MCB looks with confidence at year 2007 and beyond, making

strides towards fulfillment of its mission, "to become the
preferred provider of quality financial services in the country
with profitability and responsibility and to be the best place to
work".
A major achievement of MCB is that the state bank of Pakistan

has issued a license to MCB to start Islamic banking. Now MCB is
setting up a 1st Islamic banking branch at 1st floor shaheen
complex, Karachi. This complex starts working from September 1,
2003.

PROMOTION STRATEGIES OF MCB BANK

47
MCB Bank is actively participating in promotion of its

products and services through advertisement and other
promotional schemes.
Initially, the bank focused on the upper class customer’s
only and offered products for a limited class of people. But
now the strategy has been changed and the bank is now
targeting the middle market also. The products offered are
of diverse nature to cater the needs of maximum number of
people.
Customer Oriented Attitude
MCB Bank values its customers. Customers’ complaints are

encouraged because it gives an opportunity to know the

Most of the promotional efforts are done through

MCB bank sometimes gets suggestions and

recommendations from its good customers.
Branch layout is being designed in such a way that more and

more customers are attracted. Some of the branches of MCB
Bank have a very good entrance and outlook but many still
need to be improved.
FIELDS OF ACTIVITIES
48
The purpose of banks is to provide some services to the general

public. And for this purpose different banks provide different
services to the people in different forms. The MCB Bank is a
commercial bank, in modern time commercial banks play a very
important role and their functions are manifold. The main
functions and services which MCB Bank Limited provides to
different peoples are as follows.
1) Open Different accounts for different peoples

2) Accepting various types of deposits
3) Accepting various types of deposits
4) Granting loans & advances

functions, few of those are as under

49
• Furnishing trade information and tendering advice to

customers.
For proper functioning of branches and the over all bank has been
divided in different departments. These departments handle
different jobs so that division of work is there for improvement
of functions and also it is easy to control the situation. The
general division in a branch is as follows:
1. Cash department
2. Deposit department
3. Advances & credit department
4. Remittance department
5. Foreign exchange department
6. Technology department (new addition in order to cop with
the growing needs of day to day technology
requirements)
CASH DEPARTMENT

50
The following books are maintained in the Cash Department:

• Receiving Cash Book
• Paying Cash Book
• Token Book
• Scroll Book
• Cash Balance Book
When cash is received in counter, it is entered in the Scroll Book
and Receiving Cashier Book. At the close of the day, these are
balanced with each other.
When the cheque or any negotiable instrument is presented at
counter for payment, it is entered in the token book and token is
issued to the customer. The token clerk and the Cashier make
entries in the paying book and payment is made to payee. At the
close of day, the Token Book and Paying Cashier Book are
balanced.
The consolidated figure of receipt and payment of cash is
entered in the cash balance book and drawn closing balance of
cash.
Opening Balance + Receipts - Payments = closing Balance.
This is very important department because cash is the most liquid
asset and mostly frauds are made in this department, therefore,
extra care is taken in this department and nobody is allowed to
enter or leave the area freely. Mostly, cash area is grilled and its
door is under supervision of the head of that department. All the
books maintained in this department are checked by an officer.

51
DEPOSIT DEPARTMENT
Bank deals in money and they are merely mobilizing funds within
the economy. They borrow from one person and lend to another,
the difference between the rate of borrowing lending forms
their spread or gross profit. Therefore we can rightly state that
deposits are the blood of the bank which causes the body of an
institution to get to work. These deposits are liability of the bank
so from point of view of bank we can refer to them as liabilities.
The total deposits of MCB are growing since its inauguration but
after privatization there is a sharp incline in over all deposits of
the bank. The increase in deposits is also a cause of increase on
total number of accounts; bank has progressed in both aspects.
TYPES OF DEPOSITS
Deposits can be segregated on two bases, one is the duration in
which there funds are expected to be with the bank and second is
the cost of getting these funds. So divide deposits in two classes
according to duration of deposits i.e.
1) Time deposits / liabilities

2) Demand deposits / liabilities
And on the basis of the cost to acquire these funds, a deposit
can be classified as any one of following four, High Cost Medium
Cost, Low Cost No Cost.

52
Banks has different kinds of deposit schemes in order to induce

deposits. These schemes are a mixture of the above mentioned
two types of deposits with an addition of different services &
requirements such as minimum balance' requirement, mode of
transaction, basis for calculation of profit, deductions, additional
benefits, eligibility for different groups.
In the similar fashion, MCB has a large variety of deposit
schemes and some of them are as follows:
CURRENT ACCOUNT
In this type of accounts the client is allowed to deposit or
withdraw money as and when he likes. He may, thus, deposits or
withdraws money several times in a day if he likes. There is also
no restriction of amount to be deposited or withdrawn. However,
there is requirement of minimum balance maintenance of Rs.
1000/-. Usually this type of account is opened by the
businessmen. No profit is paid by the bank and no service charges
are deducted by the bank on current deposits account. These
types of deposits are also exempt from compulsory deduction of
Zakat.
PLS ACCOUNT
This type of account is for those persons who want to make small
savings'. This type of account is opened with a minimum deposit
of Rs. 1000/-. Under this scheme deposits can be made only up to
a-costing amount and withdrawals are allowed twice a week or 8
times a month. If a big amount is required a seven days notice is
required before the withdrawal. The profit is paid on these
accounts on the minimum balance during a month for the whole of

53
that month. Zakat & other withholding taxes are deducted as per
rules of the government.
KHUSHALI BACHAT ACCOUNT

This is an advance form of PLS saving a/c, in this type of account.
The minimum balance requirement for this type is Rs. 2500/-.
There is also restriction on the number of withdrawals as well,
i.e. up to 4 times in a calendar month. For maintaining this extra
balance the customer gets the benefits of profit calculation on
daily product basis and also free service of standing instructions
of paying utility bills and HBFC installments. All other rules of
saving account are applicable.
PLS 365 GOLD

This is a special type of saving account in which customer
maintains a minimum balance of Rs. 300,000- and in turn he gets
the benefits of daily profit calculations and also there is no
restriction on the maximum number of withdrawals as was there
in the case of KBA. There is also another advantage of this
scheme that if balance on a particular day falls below the
minimum balance then only the product of that day is ignored
whereas in KBA, if balance falls below the minimum limit then all
the products for that month are ignored on in other words no
profit is paid for that month.
Khaunm Bachat Scheme

This is a type of term deposit, in this type of deposit an account
is deposited and monthly payments of Rs. 1000/- are made by the
account holder in this account for a minimum of 10 years. After

54
the expiry of term, he receives his funds along with profit for
the tenor. The distinctive feature of this product is that profit is
calculated on monthly basis and charged to account on end of
each half /ear. Then profit is also calculated on that amount of
profit which is credited to the customer's account. So we can say
that in this type of account there is a concept of accumulated
profits on profit. This ends in getting a heavy return for the
depositor at the end of tenor for his small savings. This product
was actually introduced to promote saving habits in the people.
Zakat and withholding taxes are deducted as per rules only at the
time of maturity while making payment to the customer.
Term Deposits Receipts

This is a type of term deposit in which a receipt is issued for
varying tenors ranging from 1 month to 5 years or more. These
are in the form of receipts and profit on these receipts is paid
biannually. These receipts are encashable after expiry of the
period for which they were issued. Different profit rates are
applied to different type of TDRs.
Under this deposit scheme, a deposit is received from the
depositor under the condition that he will intimate the bank
before a certain period in case of withdrawals.

55
FUNCTIONS OF DEPOSIT DEPARTMENT

This was a brief review of different types of deposit schemes.
The Deposit Department handles the account opening, profit
payment and accounting of all types of deposit schemes.
Account Opening
Account opening is an agreement in which customer offers his
funds and bank accepts these funds, therefore the nature of
relation between a banker and customer is of a contractual one
and all the conditions applicable to this contract act are also
applicable.
Profit payment & calculation
Profit payment & calculation is done in accordance with the rules
of each type of deposit scheme-by the deposit department. The
products for each deposit scheme are calculated separately and
added till the end of 6 month period. Then the sum total of these
products is multiplied with the respective profit rates which are
issued by the Head Office at the end of each half yearly closing.
The profit provisions for each type of deposits are also
calculated on monthly basis by the same department in order to
calculate the net profit or loss position of the branch.
Accounting Entries
Accounting entries are also made in the respective books of
account by this department. However, in small and medium size
branches, the accountant performs the book keeping duties for
all kinds of ledgers.

56
CLEARING DEPARTMENT
Every banker acts both as a paying as well as a collecting banker,

It is however an important function of crossed cheques. A large
part of this work is carried out through the bankers clearing
house.
A clearing house is a place where representative of all banks of
the city get together and settle the receipts and payment of
cheques drawn on each other. As the collecting banker runs
certain risks in receipt of their ownership the law has provided
certain protections to the banks.
The Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881, lays down hat drawer or
holder of a cheque or draft may cross the instrument generally or
specially. It further lies down that a crossed cheque can only be
paid to a banker, who collects it for a customer in good faith and
without negligence.
Types of Cheques
• Transfer cheques: are those cheques, which are
collected and paid by the same branch of bank.
• Transfer delivery cheques: are those cheques, which
are collected and paid by two different branches of
the same bank situated in the same city.
• Clearing cheques: are those cheques, which are drawn
on the branches of some other bank of the same city

57
or of the same area, which is covered by a particular

clearing house.
• Collection cheques: are those cheques, which are
drawn on the branches of either the same bank or of
another bank, but those branches, are not in the same
city or they are not the members of clearing house.
Functions of Clearing Department

collection cheques from the customers of the branch and to
arrange for their collection.
• To arrange the payment of cheques drawn on the branch and
given for collection to any other branch on MCB or any
other members or sub member of the local clearing house.

59
ADVANCES DEPARTMENT
Advances are the most important source of earning for the

banks. MCB is also giving full attention towards this aspect and it
is also obvious from the growing portfolio of advances and from
very low delinquency rate. The credit portfolio of this institution
is in a very much better shape than other financial institutions of
Pakistan and the credit goes to the management and the staff
who are concerned about the quantity and quality as well.
• Loans
• Cash Credits
• Overdraft
LOANS
Loans are monetary assistance by a financial institution to a

business, individual etc. The loans are granted by the bank in lump
sum, so these types called fixed or demand loans. Interest is
charged on the whole amount of a fixed loan.
The borrower withdraws whole the amount of loan. This type of
loan is normally granted against security of gold documents.
In case of demand loans against gold or documents, a demand
promissory note for the amount of loan is taken from the
borrower loans are granted under;

60
LOAN AGAINST GOLD

Under this type of loan, which is granted to the borrower the
Head Cashier estimates the value of Gold or Gold ornaments
through an agent (Gold smith) and keeps a margin of 40 to 50
percent. After the opening the gold loan account a token is given
to the borrower, which is a bank receipt.
On repayment of loan, the gold or ornaments held as security for
it, together with the demand promissory note duly discharged is
returned to the borrower and his receipt for the gold ornament
taken in the demand loan ledger. This receipts states that he
ornaments returned are complete and in order. Part delivery of
ornaments is given against part payment of a loan but care is
taken that the ornaments still in banks possession fully covers
the balance of the loan outstanding. The interest gold loan is to
be applied with quarterly.
LOAN AGAINST PLEDGE OF STOCKS

In case of advancing such types of loans, the following
precautions are kept in the mind:
• Stock pledged must be readily saleable

• Products should be readily saleable
• Advance should be within the borrows means

61
REQUIREMENTS OF LOAN
For granting loan to any party or individual, the bank checks following
particulars of the client:
 Credibility
 Feasibility Report
By Credibility, bank Judges the credibility of the client by his
past bank record, CBI report etc. it is very important in making
decision about giving him loan.
Feasibility report is on the running or proposed business of the
client. The report enables the bank to judge the likely return of
the business.
CASH CREDIT
Such cash account is opened in the name of the customer who
borrows from the bank. Customer is granted a loan up to a certain
limit, sanctioned by the head office, from which he can draw
when he requires and interest is charged on the amount actually
utilized by the customer. In order to avoid the danger of idle
fund, the bank charges a certain rate of interest, even if the
customer does not withdraw any amount. The rate charged by
the bank on cash credit in 46 paisa per thousand on daily basis.
The credit is usually given against the securities of goods or
merchandize as follows:
ADVANCE AGAINST PLEDGE OF STOCKS

62
When cash is granted against the pledge of stock or product,

cash credit form is taken, from the certain products or stock,
but the actual pledge is created when the stock or finished

products are placed under the bank's lock or the document of
title is duly endorsed to the bank by the borrower.
HYPOTHECATION OF STOCKS
The difference between pledge and hypothecation is that under a
pledge the borrower's goods are placed in the bank's possession
under own lock, whereas, under a hypothecation, they remain in
the possession of the borrower or guarantor and are merely
charged to the bank under documents signed by them. Even
though the documents empower the bank to take possession of
the goods hypothecated, but it is possible that the borrower may
actually resist any attempt.
MORTGAGE OF PROPERTY
Title deeds of immovable property are accepted by the bank only
as collateral security or alternatively as unauthorized security.

63
REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT
Remittance department performs following functions:
• Mail Transfer (MT)
• Telegraphic Transfer (TT)
• Demand Drafts (DD)
MAIL TRANSFER (MT)
When a customer requests the bank to transfer his money from

one branch of bank to another branch of the same bank or from
one city to another city to the same bank or any other bank.

account with that amount as mentioned in the application form
then concerned officer will undertake the following procedure to
make the mail transfer complete.
1. Branch Mail transfer form

then the customer will have to deposit the amount which he wants
to transfer under Mail. Then the above said procedure will be
done.

This type of transfer is simple. After filling the application form

the concerning officer shall fill the telegraphic transfer form.
Then it is sent to the required bank which on receiving it
immediately makes the payment to the customer and afterwards
the voucher are sent to that bank by ordinary mail.
DEMAND DRAFT (DD)
Demand draft is just like cheques and issued when the customer
wants to take cash with him personally. The idea behind is to
avoid the risk and burden of currency notes in huge quantity.
Demand draft can easily be handled whatever amount it has and
the money can easily be taken from the bank when it is
presented. In fact, the bank persuades the customer to transfer
money by drafts and avoid the risk of frauds involves in MT and
T.T. Draft is only issued when the bank knows customer and bank
has the confidence in him
In case of transfer of money by drafts, the customer has to fill
an application form. Then the concerned officer fills the following
forms:
1. Customer’s advice
2. Customer’s debit form
3. Register copy
4. Cover Advice

65
FOREIGN DEMAND DRAFT

difference is that a bank issues FDD to the bank of another
country. It requires foreign exchange and it involves seven forms,
which are to be filled.

TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT
Technological advancements are also affecting the banking

industry. The foreign banks have a competitive edge over all local
banks in their technologies' advancements and automated
systems. Local banks have also realized the gravity oil this
situation and are striving to add computerized systems to their
branches
MCB is ahead of all other local banks in this field and now it is in
a position to even compete with foreign banks. There are more
than 1045 branches of MCB all over Pakistan and out of these
more than 300 branches are fully computerized Almost all .the
branches of big cities are computerized; therefore, the need for
a technology department at each branch is growing. Now a day, a
computer division is working in each city to provide service to ad
the branches of that area.
MCB has also introduced the now concept of online banking.
There are now more than 250 branches linked through this
system and they can transact with each other directly using
computer systems at their own branches. Now customers do not
have to wait long for their transactions and can operate their
account through all the online branches.
ATM NETWORK

67
ATM stands for Automatic Teller Machine. This machine is used

to transact in one's account without intervention of humans.
These machines are basically used for taking cash, confirming
balances and requesting statements / cheque books.
MCB has the largest ATM network in the country at the moment
with almost one ATM at each online branch and also ATM
terminals at International Airports. This network covers more
than the 27 cities of Pakistan including the provincial capitals and
large commercial cities of the country.
ATMs are operated through a card issued to the valued
customers and by application of Personal Identification Number
(PIN number). A person can withdraw from any machine across
Pakistan with having an account in only one branch of MCB. This
was only possible with the help of online system. In this system
all the machines are linked to central banking host at IRM division
Karachi through either satellite or telephone controller. This
system identifies the card holder and his PIN Number.
Now MCB has also entered into a contract with Cirrus which is a
subsidiary of MasterCard. This contract will enable an ATM card
holder to use his account even when he is out of country at all the
ATMs where Cirrus logo is displayed.
Green Cards are ordinary cards with a maximum
withdrawal facility of Rs. 10,000/- in a day. The annual fee for

BASICS TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT
During the span of mine internship in MCB, I learned and

T
observed a lot of about the opening of an account. Basically
W
I think that the opening of an account is the establishment
of a contractual relationship between the banker and the
O
customer. By opening an account at a bank a person
becomes a ‘customer’ of a bank. Further I am going to
express the basic requirements and steps involved in the
opening of an account.

INTRODUCTION AND PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION
Before opening an account MCB as like the other banks in

Pakistan ascertain whether or not the person who is going to open
the account is a desirable customer or not. Then MCB determine
the prospective customer’s integrity, respectability, occupation
and the nature of business by the introductory references given
at the time of account opening. Negligence in this informal
preliminary investigation may result in serious consequences not
only for the banker concerned directly but also for other bankers
and the general public who may be affected indirectly.
In order to further strengthen and streamline this process, the
Federal Ombudsman of Pakistan, vide his ruling on complaint No.
II/31/5186, has directed the banks to retain with the account
opening form a Photostat copy each of the National Identity
Cards of the person desiring to open an account as well as that of
the introducer. As per these directions, the concerned Branch
Managers are required to obtain the original National Identity
Cards along with their Photostat copies and then return the
original after attesting the authenticity of the retained copy.
Preliminary investigation is necessary because of the following
reasons:
Avoid Frauds: In this regard I learned that if a banker does not
make the necessary inquiries mentioned above he may enable
dishonest persons to possess cheque books for fraudulent
purposes. If any such person happens to be an undercharged

76
bankrupt, the banker might be placed in an awkward position for

having allowed such a person to open and open a bank account.
Safeguard against unintended overdrafts: Sometimes due to a

mistake an account may be given an overdraft, For instance, the
ledger keeper, misreading the balance of an account honors a
cheque for an amount larger than the balance. Similarly a credit
entry belonging to a customer may be made by mistake in another
customer’s account. In such situations the excess amount
withdrawn by the customer can only be realized if the customer
is a respectable person.
Inquiries about clients: Being a banker I think MCB has a

business obligation to respond to inquiries from other banks etc.
about his customer’s financial position. Though the banker gives
only a general ideal about the financial standing of his customer,
it should nevertheless have the necessary information available
with him.
Specimen Signature
When an account is opened with MCB customer provides to the
bank a specimen of the form of signature which would appear on
all his cheques to express his authority for the payment of
cheques drawn on his banker. This specimen is taken generally on
a card specially designed for this purpose, and rule for the
customers, full name, and account number are entered on it.
If the bank has reasons to doubt the genuineness of a signature,
he should either get it confirmed for his satisfaction or return
the cheque with the remark ‘Signature differs’. If the signature

77
of the customer is forged the banker cannot escape his liability

because he has actually acted on his customer’s mandate.
HOW TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT (GENERAL)
Before opening an account in MCB I observed that the following

points must be considered in this regard.
• Another account holder of the bank should properly
introduce the new customer.
• The account holder should sign the account opening form in
the presence of bank officer and the signature is duly
verified.
• A copy of identity Card is required by Bank.
• Against submission of the Bank’s prescribed application
form, duly introduced in the manner provided and on
supplying such document, as may be required and account
may be opened. The Bank reserves to itself the right to
refuse to open and account without assigning any reason.
• Each account shall be allotted a distinct number that is to
be quoted in all correspondence with the bank relation to
the account.
• Minimum amount for opening and continued maintenance of
various types of accounts is as follows:
Rs.
Saving 500

78
Current 500
Term Deposit 1000
The bank reserves the right to change the above mentioned

minimum balance requirement at any time without any notice.
PROCEDURE TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT
According to my practice in MCB, when a customer wants to open

an account, the bank officer gives him an application form. All
information, which is necessary to be known by the bank, are
requirements of the application form. Form also requires the
essential documents to be attached by the customer.
Basically following information is required to open an account with
MCB.
• Title of Account
• Full Name of Applicant
• Occupation
• Address
• Telephone No.
• Currency of account
• Nature of Business
• Introducer’s Name, Address & Signatures
• Special instruction regarding the account
• Initial Amount of the Deposit

79
• Signature of the applicant
DOCUMENTS TO BE ATTACHED
Further I learned that if you wanted to open an account with

MCB then you should attach the following documents with your
application form which are different for different categories.
SOLE PROPRIETOR’S ACCOUNT
In order to open an account with MCB Sole Proprietors have to

submit their business registration certificate number.
PRIVATE / JOINT ACCOUTS
For individual or private or joint accounts National Identity Card

is required.
JOINT STOCK COMPANY
Before an account of a Public Limited Company is opened MCB

must ask the person authorized to do so to submit the certified
copies or the following documents
• Certified true copy of the Memorandum and Articles of
Association of the company.
• Certified true copy of the resolution of the board of
directors / managing committee / governing body regarding
conduct of the account.

80
• Certified list containing names and signatures of the

directors / office bearers.
• Certified true copy of the certificate of incorporation or

registration.
• Certified true copy of the certificate of commencement of
business (in case of public limited companies).
• Balance Sheet
• I.D. Card copy of each director
• Original is also enclosed for inspection and return
• List of persons authorized to operate the account.
• Power of Attorney in favor of the person opening account.
PARTNERSHIP FIRM ACCOUNT

Information which is required to be submitted to MCB by a
partnership firm in this case is as follows:
• Full Names
• Address
• Specimen of signatures of the partners
• Certified true copy of partnership deed
• Registration No. if the Partnership is registered
SOCIETIES / CLUBS AND ASSOCIATIONS ACCOUNT

MCB is authorized to open the accounts of the societies/clubs
and associations, These are non-trading organizations, formed for
the promotion of culture, science, education, recreational
activities and charitable purposes etc. some of these institution

81
are registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1866, and

are issued a certificate of registration after they have been
found fit for registration.
ISSUANCE OF CHEQUE BOOK

When a customer opens an account with the bank, he is provided
with cheque book for withdrawals from account. However, the
first cheque book is given to the customer only when all the
required documents are checked. A cheque book contains ten,
twenty five, fifty or hundred leaves. The cheque book also carries
a requisition slip for the issuance of the new cheque book. This
slip is duly filled and singed by the customer. The signature of
the customer is verified by the bank and new cheque book is
issued to the customer and serial numbers of the cheque are duly
entered in the book of the bank. Along with the signature, person
should also write his full name & address.
Usually only one cheque book is issued at a time, however big
concerns who need a number of cheque books at a time, may ask
the bank to stock as number of cheque books in their name and to
point their name on these cheque books.
Bank debits the client’s account for excise duty of Rs.2.50/- per
cheque and keeps the cheque book ready for the customer, as on
his advice.
The officer keeps and maintains the cheque book register Cheque
book inventory and cheque books issued are recorded in this
register. The account number for which the cheque book is issued
and the number of leaves are also recorded in this register when
the cheque book issued an entry is passed in the cheque book
issue register.
In case of loss of cheque book or requisition slip on cheque book

82
the customer has to fill the Form No. 216-B to obtain a new
cheque book.
UTILITY BILLS COLLECTION
I worked in the utility bills collection department as the MCB
collects utility bills on behalf of WAPDA, Sui Gas Companies, and

T
Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation Limited by putting the
H
stamp on the utility bills “Paid”, Date of payment, Signature of
I
the officer receiving the utility bills. After receiving utility bills
R
a list is made on the form which is called Bills scroll form. One
D
copy of the scroll is with the bank for evidence whereas the
original copy with the receipt of the bills is sent to the billing
W
department of the respective corporation. The bank charge
E
commission on the bills.

CASH MANAGEMENT
The most important department of MCB which deals in money

(receiving deposits at lower rates and lend them out at higher
F
rates of interest). This department also called as Chest
O
Department and manager of it is called Cash Manager or Chest
Manager. In those branches where this department is not
R
separately existed, the branch manager performs the duties of
the Chest Manager. T
H
The excess cash (More than its insured limit by the insurance
company) of the branches of the region is collected by the main
W
branch. The main branch is also bound to send its excess cash
E
(more than its insured limit) to the State Bank of Pakistan. No
branch can have cash its safe more than its insurance at any time
E
at the time of closing cash, if it is so the manager will be
K
responsible (not the insurance company) whether or not he
informed to the regional office (exception to the limit which is
insured for the day).
New Notes and Prize Bonds are also part and parcel of the Cash
Management. Keys of the Safe lockers are with the three

84
authorized persons each one of them is responsible for cash as at

the time of closing the cash the officers including Cash officer
presented and lock the safe after counting and scrutinize the
cash. The cash officer maintain its daily cash book with
specification of notes (Bonds are also recorded in the books in
relation with cash) and other vouchers, after being satisfied the
manager authenticates the books and vouchers regarding cash
with stamp and signature. at the end I would like to conclude that
the cash management is being done in the MCB very effectively.

85
ADVANCES DEPARTMENT
On my first day of Internship, Manager gives me some advice and

told me the ways to success. He told me that if some one wants
L
to get success in banking career then he must have the knowledge
A
of the one major department of the bank. I.e. Advances. So from
very first day I was interested to work in advances department
S
and at my request bank offer me opportunity to work in this
department last two weeks T
Bank adopts the following procedure in order to grant a loan. A
customer applies for a loan to the manager, who says him to give
T
details of his property. The details of the proposal and the
W
photocopies of the document to the title of property are sent to
the legal advisor of bank. The legal advisor gives his legal opinion
O
upon the documents. The branch manager, in the light of the
opinion received from the legal advisor, discusses the proposal
with the advancing manager whether to give or not the loan to the
W
applicant. If manager allows granting the loan all the documents
E
along with request letter are sent to regional office for approval.
In the regional office the proposal is analyzed and if the office is
E
satisfied a consent letter prepared which is signed by the
K
86 S
regional controller credit. This letter is sent to the branch

manager. After receiving it the manager finance reviews the
consent letter, and prepares a DAC (Disbursement Authorization
Certificate). DAC can be made only for people who have a bank
account.
The following documentation is made for loan.

• An application or request letter for loan by the customer
• Legal opinion of the legal advisor of the bank (for the title
deeds)
• Consent letter from the regional office
• Vetting Certificate (includes consent No., Facility whether
fund based or no-fund based, addresses etc.)

consultants approved by State Bank of Pakistan

person/owner taking loan for the company)
• Mortgage deed
• Mutation document made
• Verification of the property by the bank from the
competent authority
• Hypothecation of stock certificate (Running is to be given
against 75% margin of stock)
• IB-25R Letter of hypothecation (duly signed by the party)

87
• IB-12 , DP Note/Promissory Note (Bank prepared itself,

duly signed by the party, revenue stamps of Rs. 100 put on
it)

• IB-29 (used for guarantee from party)

• IB-26 (used for pledge of stock, margin is different for
different goods)
• No. IB-28 (used for lien) etc.
After that Loan is sanctioned to the party fulfilling all the terms
and conditions for the purpose. The procedure given above is for
both short and long term loans. The thing which is most important
here is that the banks first keeps in mind and analyzes according
to the rules prudential regulations of the State Bank of Pakistan.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

97
"Financial statement analysis is the process of identifying of

financial strengths and weaknesses of the firm by properly
establishing relationship between the items of the balance sheet
and the profit &loss account," and it is done through ratio
analysis.
RATIO ANALYSIS
Ratio means “one number expressed in term of another a ratio is

statistical yardstick by mean of which relationship between two
or various figures can be compared or measured. Here we are
going to explain the ratio analysis of MCB.

98
Financial ratios can be divided into the following six parts.
A. Liquidity ratios
B. Activity ratios
C. Leverage ratios
D. Profitability ratios
E. Investor ratios
F. Bank special ratios
A. Liquidity ratios
 Current ratios
 Quick ratios
 Absolute Liquid ratio
B. Activity ratios
 Inventory turnover ratio
 Average collection period
 Average payment period
 Total assets turnover ratio
C. Leverage ratios
 Proprietary ratio
 Debt ratio
 Debt to Equity ratio
 Debt to Tangible net worth ratio
 Debt to Funds ratio
 External-Internal Equity ratio
D. Profitability ratio
 Return on total assets

99
 Return on-equity
 Return on investment
 Return on fixed assets
 Average profit per branch
 Net profit Margin
 Interest income to total income
 Interest expense to total expense
 Return on advances
E. Investor Ratios
 Earning per share
 P/E ratio
 Dividend per share
 Dividend yield ratio
 Dividend payout ratio
 Break up value/Book value per share
 M/B ratio
F. Bank special Ratios

 Earning assets to total assets
 Return on earning assets
 Net margin to earning assets
 Loan loss coverage ratio
 Equity to total assets
 Deposit time equity
 Loan to deposit ratio
Because here we are discussing ratio analysis of bank, therefore

we will not discuss A & B category of ratios.

LEVERAGE/SOLVENCY ANALYSIS
Solvency analysis of a firm indicates the amount of the other

people’s money being used to generate profit. In general, these
analyses are more concerned with long term debts, because these
commit the firm to a stream of payments over the long run.
Solvency analysis includes:
 Proprietary ratio
 Debt ratio
 Debt to Equity ratio
 Debt to Tangible net worth ratio
 Debt to Funds ratio
 External-Internal Equity ratio

103
INTERPRETATION
The overall leverage position is showing better trend as compare

to previous year. The contribution of equity in total assets is
increasing, while the debt contribution is decreasing which is
better for business. Equity ratio is increased which shows the
better condition of the bank. Solvency Ratio is in good condition.
So we can say that overall Solvency condition of the MCB is
better with the comparison to the previous year.

104
PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS
Profitability analysis of a firm indicates the overall efficiently of

the management. Without profit a company can not attract the
outside capital. Profitability analysis includes:
 Return on total assets

 Return on-equity
 Return on investment
 Return on fixed assets
 Average profit per branch
 Net profit Margin
 Interest income to total income
 Interest expense to total expense
 Return on advances

BANK SPECIAL ANALYSIS
Bank ratio analysis is little bit different from other organizations

and if we want to see the real picture of a bank we have to focus
on given special ratios.
 Earning assets to total assets

 Return on earning assets
 Net margin to earning assets
 Loan loss coverage ratio
 Equity to total assets
 Deposit time equity
 Loan to deposit ratio

Earning Assets 261272401 221186364
Total Assets 298776797 259173808
ratio 0.87 0.85
INTERPRETATION
The efficiency of the banking firm is measured by its ability to

utilize its assets in a manner that they could be profitable for the
firm. Bank earning assets are increasing as compare to last year
but it is just a little bit increase. Advances of bank are increasing
but investment as compare to 2004 is decreased. Lending to
financial institutions is also not very well. Balance with other banks
is also not desirable but overall earning assets showing
satisfactory position in 2005.

116

Net Profit before tax 13018487 4057716
return 4.98% 1.83%
INTERPRETATION
Return on earning assets is increased as compare to previous year

because there is increased in net profit in 2005 as compare to
2004. The increasing trend in this ratio is beneficial for business
and investors because this ratio shows real profitability position
of business.

117
3. NET MARGIN TO EARNING ASSETS
= Net Margin × 100

Earning Assets
Year 2005 (000) 2004 (000)

Earning Assets 261272401 221186364
Net Margin 14974764 7026223
ratio 5.73% 3.17%
INTERPRETATION
Spread is difference between interest income and interest

expense. This ratio shows the spread position of a bank. In this
year bank net margin is increased due to increase in advances and
interest income as compare to 2004. Interest expense is also
increased but their increasing trend is lesser as compare to
interest income so that’s why spread position of bank is increased
in this year.

118
4. LOAN LOSS COVERAGE RATIO
= Pre tax Income + Provision for loan loss

Net Charges off + Provision for loan loss
Year 2005 (000) 2004 (000)

INTERPRETATION
This ratio shows how much money is there against Rs 1 loss. This
ratio provides a protection to customers who are going to deposit
their money in bank. Higher the ratio is beneficial for the bank
and customers. In this year loan loss coverage ratio is increased
due to decrease in bad debts but in 2004 the ratio of bad debts
is more as compare to this year. This shows the efficiency of
bank in this year instead of 2004.

TREND ANALYSIS
In trend analysis we done two types of analysis, these are
Horizontal Analysis
It is conducted by setting consecutive balance sheet, income

statement or statement of cash flow side-by-side and reviewing
changes in individual categories on a year-to-year or multiyear
basis.
A comparison of statements over several years reveals direction,

speed and extent of a trend(s). The horizontal financial
statements analysis is done by restating amount of each item or
group of items as a percentage.
Vertical Analysis
Like horizontal analysis this can also done for balance sheet and
income statement. Here we assign 100% value to any key item of

124
balance sheet or income statement and then see portion of other

items in this percentage.

expense has decreasing trend from 2002 to 2005 but in 2005
there little bit increase in net interest income but almost have
same trend. According to this analysis fee, commission and
brokerage income has some worth in our income statement its
almost one fourth or one fifth of our interest income and it has
increasing trend.
The administrative expenses are also increasing from 2002 to

2005 but overall management is able to reduce expenses, so due
to which there is continuous increase in profit before and after
tax.

INTERPRETATION
MCB Limited is not only showing better trend in this year but also
showing better position in industry. The major competitor of MCB
is bank Alfalah and it is necessary to depict the real scenario of
MCB financial ratios, we compare these with bank Alfalah ratios,
so for this purpose we have done cross sectional analysis of MCB
with bank Alfalah.
In this analysis, overall leverage position of MCB is good as

compare to bank Alfalah. Profitability analysis is also better as
compare to bank Alfalah. In investor analysis, P/E ratio is bad but
overall market value of MCB is good as compare to bank Alfalah.
Bank special ratios of MCB are also good as compare to bank
Alfalah.

RECOMMENDATIONS
From the Quantum of the profit and its financial data it can be
easily judged that after privatization, MCB is performing well. Its
deposits are growing day by day and so its profitability. The
controlling body is responsible for the productive performance of
the Bank.
Following are my observation and suggestion to improve the
efficiency for the development of the bank.
• There is a criticism on the banking management that the
salaries of the employees are decreasing in every
succeeding year. And I think this will shake the confidence
and working habit of the employees.
• There is another recommendation about the bank that there
is no proper timing of the bank and there is made an
unnecessary delay in the banking transactions, which might
not be a good sign for the bank from future prosperity point
of view.

148
• Staff turnover particularly of trained staff result in
financial and other losses. The amount spent by the bank on
employment, induction and training of outgoing officers
constitutes to beat till another officer should ready prove
this work. The exodus of bank officer in the past has
worsened the situation.
• Most of the bank employees, are sticking to one seat only
with the result that they become master of one particular
job and loose their grip on other banking operation. In my
opinion all the employees should have regular job experience
all out-look towards banking. The promotion policy should be
adjusted.
• Refresher Courses for the staff are most important in any
international organization. Alt the employees should have
these courses according to their requirement. Foreign
experts can also be called for this purpose.
• Every year some of the employees should be sent for
training to other countries and employees from other
branches should be brought here. Some more reading
material should be provided. The purpose should be to

149
Educate the employees with the advance studies in their field.
The employee should be provided the opportunities to attend
and participate in seminars and lectures on banking.
• Bank should give some more incentive to its employees in
order to remove the conflict between lower and higher
officers and should try to improve the working condition of
the bank.
• As such system should be designed that every employee who
has some problems with his officers can communicate it to
the higher management and some steps must be taken to
improve that.
• Recruitments should be strictly on merit basis and induction
should be after proper and extensive training.
• Old and lazy staff should be replaced by young, qualified
and energetic staff.
• Foreign branches should be opened in order to capture the
international market and to earn international repute for
the bank.
• Working environment, equipment, furniture and staff
dressing should be according to the modern banking style.

150
• Proper attention should be paid to upgrade customer
services.
• Bank should adopt the global organizational banking
structure to meet the international standards of banking
sector.
