Experience In Pubali Bank Limited As An Intern


One of the modern concepts of economics is financial development. All over
the world the financial development has started with the commercial Banking
system and the diffusion or scriptural money through the economy. At the
very initial stages of financial development of any country, commercial banks
play a major role providing financial services to the economy. Banking studies
are divided into two categories, they are Theoretical & practical. Coordination of theory and practical subjects in the field of Banking studies gets
due importance at this moment when the whole are taking preparation to enter
into a new Millennium. But in spite of this, we find a gap existing between
Theory & practical knowledge. To minimize this gap between Theory &
practices, MBA program of Dhaka University has introduced practical
orientation in different Banks. It is believed that it brings the students
concerned with this program closer to practical area of Financial Institution
and projection of knowledge.

To fulfill this objective, I have prepared an Internships Report on "Loans &


Advances of Pubali Bank Limited, Nawabpur Branch. During this period, I
have gathered various types of banking knowledge from banking experts of
respective Bank and tried to apply my academic knowledge as well as
personal competence to the best. I have also tried my best to cover all the
significant dimension of the topic assigned.

I along with other 10 students go to the Pubali Bank Limited head office
situated at Motijheeel

and reported to the Senior Officer of Pubali Bank

Limited. The Pubali Bank Limited authority cordially received us.

Then each of us was sent to the different branches of Pubali Bank Limited on
10th Octobor, 2006. I was placed in Pubali Bank Limited Nawabpur Branch
for field study from 10th Octobor 06 to 10th January 2007. I reported to Mr.
Shym Sundar Banik, Managing Director of the said Branch and briefed
something about his branch and promised me to give any kind of information
needed. Then I have started to observe the activities held on that branch and I
have found the following major functions:

1. General Banking
Various types of deposit A/C, Transfer, Works of Cash Section, Subsidiary
Register Day Book, Clean Cash, General Ledger, Remittance (P/O, DD, MT,
TT) Bills Department, Clearing House, Pubali Bank Limited General A/C etc.

2. Loans and Advances


General Advances, Industrial loan, rural & micro credit etc.

Concerned officers of the branch showed and discuss with me about General
Banking.
Concerned officers of the Investment Section of the Branch showed the
various files and discussed with me how to provide Loan to the Prospective
sector of the country.

Executive Summary
One of the vital parts of MBA program is internship program. At
the end academic course work one need to compete the internship
to gain practical knowledge

to have

an experience of

implementation of acquired theoretical knowledge. However, at


the end of my MBA course work I was placed in Pubali Bank
Limited at Nawabpur Branch, the largest commercial bank of the
country. During my internship period I have studied almost all the
section of the branch. General banking sector, Loans and advance
Section etc. At the end of my three months internship, I have
gained a thorough knowledge about all of those.

Pubali Bank started its journey as the largest public commercial


bank with a great hope and aspiration. But now it is a private Bank.
Still this bank controls a significant portion of all banking
transactions. With the up gradation of technology the bank is also
trying to keep pace.

This report intends to give a comprehensive view of the bank. It


consists of seven parts. First part consists of introduction and
background of the study. Second part consists of a brief history of

Banking . Third part consists of Organizational overview of Pubali


Bank Limited. Forth part deals with general banking. Fifth part
involves loans and advances. Sixth part involves papers to be
submitted to get a loan and finally seventh part consists conclusion
and recommendation.

CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION OF THE REPORT

1.1 Background of the study


In the age of globalization, the importance of banking sector is beyond
description. Banking sector is going ahead with the improvement new
technological innovation. Introduction of modern technology has made
banking sector user friendly and more competitive. The banks of Bangladesh
are not lag behind. The banks of Bangladesh are keeping pace. To survive in
the financial market and to play significant role both technological
implementation and skill manpower are accessory in which Department of
Management Studies of D.U. is playing a significant role. By providing skilled
manpower, Department of Management Studies ahs given the banking sector a
momentum. And the internship program has made the effective. By studying
at the University of Dhaka, one gains an extensive theoretical knowledge and
the internship program makes that knowledge effective. Theoretical
knowledge has a great value but without having theoretical knowledge it
might be vain. In this regard, the internship program is fulfilling the lacking of
practical knowledge of the graduates of Department of Management Studies.
After completing the internship program the graduates become more effective
in that particular field.

1.2 Justification of the Report


Due to market economy the competition among nationalized, foreign and
private commercial banks and the expectation of the customers become
rapidly growing concerning the banking operation & how customer service
becomes more attractive. Reciprocating the sentiment, commercial banks are
trying to elevate their traditional service to a better standard, to meet the
challenging needs. Side by side, these banks have now concentrated their
attention towards diversification of their products for better performance of

14

their existence. Under the above circumstances, it has become necessary for
Pubali Bank, a leading commercial bank, to focus its' attention towards the
improvement of the customer service through its' multi-purposeful activities.
That is why it is quite justified to make an in-depth study about its operation
and evaluate service provided by this bank and scope for its' improvement.
This is the exploratory study that evaluates the functions of Pubali Bank. The
study may help formulating policy regarding the ideas relating to the feelings
of the customers & bankers. Now it is hoped that it may have some
significance to Pubali Bank and those who want to develop Pubali Bank.

Since financial area is my preferred area to build up my career, this study will
vehemently help me to go forward and improve my career path.

1.3 Schedule of Internship


On the very first day at the Pubali Bank, I was welcomed by the Managing
Director of Nawabpur Branch, Mr. Shym Sundar Banik. I was assigned for
practical orientation at Nawabpur Branch of Pubali Bank. During my practical
orientation, I was guided by Mr. Shajhan Mahmood, SPO, of the branch. He
gave me some direction in choosing, schedule or orientation at various
departments of the branch; I started with General Banking Department. The
schedule, although not water-tight has given below:

Date of Orientation (2006)

1.4 Objective of the Study:


 Application of theoretical knowledge in the practical field.
 Understand the real management situation and try to suggest for
improving existing problems.
 To analyze the financing system of the Bank to find out if the Bank has
any field to improve upon and to have greater contribution towards
country's economy.
 To examine the profitability and productivity of the Bank.
 To acquire knowledge about the every day banking operation of Pubali
Bank.

1.5 Methodology of the Study


While conducting the study, sources were explored for primary information
and data. But hardly any updated data could be found. In the absence of
updated information or data dependence on secondary data has been
inevitable. However, whenever possible primary data has been used. Data
were also collected by interviewing the responsible officers and from some
documents & statements printed by the Pubali Bank. Pubali Bank also helped
me in collecting data providing books and Banks annual report.

1.8 Limitation of the study


Although I have obtained wholehearted Co-operation from employee of Pubali
Bank Nawabpur Branch, they were extremely busy. So they were not able to
give much time as they and I would like. Besides, total duration of internship
is not sufficient to give me more than a superficial idea of the functioning of
the various departments I was rotated through. On they way of my study, I
have faced the following problems which may be termed as the
limitation/short coming of the study. These are as follows:
a) The main constraint of the study was insufficiency information, which
is required for the study.
b) Since the Bank personnel are very busy with their activities, as a result
they failed to co-operate with me to complete this report.
c) The major limitation of the study was shorter time period. For an
analytical purpose, adequate time is required. But I was not given
adequate time to prepare such as in-depth study.
d) Such a study was carried out by me for the first time. So, in-experience
is one of the main factors that constituted the limitation of the study.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF BANKING

CHAPTER-2
A BRIEF HISTORY OF BANKING

2.1. Introduction:

A bank is one, who in the ordinary course of his business receives money,

which he repays by honoring cheques of persons from whom or on whose


account he receives it. Banks deal mainly with money and credit. They
purchase and sell money and credit.

2.2. Evolution of the Word Bank:

Etymology deals with the roots and origin of the word bank. According to
some writers the word bank derived from the word BANCO, BANCUS,
BANQUE, and BANC, all of which mean bench upon which the early bankers
used to display their coins and transact business in the market place.

According to the some other writers the word bank has been derived from
the German word BANKE which means a joint stock fund. Banking in the
ancient times was largely confined to money changing and money lending.

20

2.3. Emergence of Modern Banking:

In middle Europe the bankers of Lombardy were very famous. They planted
the seed of modern banking in England. Among those prominent bankers we
can named one who were famous not only in banking but also in political
history in Europe. These Lombardy people were very much disturbed in 13s
by internecine work that was followed by plunder by Kaiser Frederick two.
Lombardy people in large number as a result started migrating to more settled
countries such as England, French, and Belgium.

2.4. Bank Development in Bangladesh:

During Mughal period, indigenous banking flourished. The Subarna bank the
bullion trading community used to do banking in the then Bengal. At the
British time banking in the form of agency house, exchanging house started to
flourish in kolkata., especially in the wake of the swadeshi movement.
In 1947 after the separation of Bengal, bank business faced a severe disaster as
non-Muslim bankers migrated to India. In order to rebuild the bank business
State bank of Pakistan was established as a central bank of Pakistan in 1948.
In 1971 Bangladesh became independent. After liberation Bangladesh bank
was automated with the asset and liabilities of former State bank of
Pakistan. There were several banks before independence of Bangladesh as
follows:

(1) The national bank of Pakistan


(2) The bank of Vowalpur ltd.
(3) The premier bank ltd.
(4) The Habib bank ltd.

(10) The Australasia bank ltd.
(11) The eastern mercantile bank ltd.
(12) The eastern banking corporation ltd.

Bangladesh Bank nationalization Order promulgated on 26 March in 1972.


After the liberation war the above 1st three banks were converted to The
Sonali Bank, The 2nd two banks were converted to The Agrani Bank, the
next two banks were converted to The Janata Bank, the next three banks
were converted to The Rupali Bank, the next one bank was converted to The

LOANS AND ADVANCES

CHAPTER-5
LOANS AND ADVANCES

5.1 Introduction:
Pubali Bank Limited, being one of the largest Commercial Bank, had some
prejudice to finance directly on priority basis to Agriculture, Industry and
Commerce sector for strengthening the economic base of the country. Pubali
Bank Limited plays the key role to oil the Economic Wheel of the Country.
Beside this, Pubali Bank has been maintaining all Government Policies its
Pioneer position in extending loans to Government Bodies, sector corporations
and private enterprises. The Bank gave predominance to the Govt. policy of
financing men or small means with enterprising spirit of investment and
provided finance as easy terms and a logical rate or interest as was during the
last few years.
Pubali Bank Limited continued to extend its lending operation in the
productive and priority sectors both public and private covering agriculture,
industry, trade and commerce.
The granting of advances is one of the most important functions of a Bank and
the test of a Bank's strength depends considerably on the quality of its
advances and the proportion they bear to the total deposit. Although receipt
from Exchange, Commission and Bank's Charges contribute a fair amount of
the profits of Commercial Bank, its earnings are chiefly derived from interest
charged on loans and discounts. A wise and prudent in regard to Advances is,
therefore, considered an important sector inspiring confidence in the
depositors and customers of a Bank. Following are the basic principles or
sound lending which each banker follows when considering an advance
proposal.
Safety
The first guiding principles of a Banker should be "Safety First", so far as his
advances are considered, because the very existence of a Bank depends of the
Safety of its outstanding which should never, therefore, he sacrificed to the

60

profit earning capacity of its advances. Consequently, to maintain a Banking


concern in sound condition, it is very essential that the safety of its advances
to customers should be above suspicion. Extreme care should be taken that the
fund rent out are not subject to any risk or being lost. The Banker is to ensure
in the best possible manner that the money advanced by him goes to the right
type of borrower and is utilized in such way that it will not only be safe at the
time of lending but will remain so throughout, and after a useful purpose in the
trade or industry where it is employed, is repaid with interest.
Liquidity
Bank's can invest in two types of terms viz. Long term and Short term. Banks
feel very risky in long-term investment. So, they normally invest in Short term
investment to maintain the liquidity of the Bank. The Liquidity of an Advance
means its repayment on demand or on due date or after a short notice. The
loan must stand fair chances or repayment according to the requirement
achieve. It is almost important that Bank loan must be repaid as they become
due otherwise; the liquidity position of the Bank is endangered. The major
cause of Bank's failure has been had liquidity. The period of the advance and
the case with which it will be repaid are very important. Even in the case of
fully secured advances if it is feared from the very beginning that the advances
would only he recovered by selling the securities it is not considered a good
advances. It must, therefore, always ensure that the advance will be repaid
from resources other that the securities pledged.
The basic problem in advance Viz. Graduate Reeducation and eventual
repayment is the crux of the while matter. A Banker would be failing in his
duty to safeguard the interest of his depositors and the shareholders if his
credit policy does not take full cognizance of this problem and not provide a
method for gradual repayment and final recovery of the money advance.
Profitability
Equally important is the principle of profitability in Bank advances. Like other
Commercial institutions, Banks must make profit where there is no profit
banks do not invest. Firstly, they have to pay interest on the Deposits received

61

by them. They have to incur expenses on establishment stationery etc. They


have to make provision for depreciation of their fixed assets and also for any
possible bad or doubtful debts. After meeting all these items of expenditure,
which enter the running cost or Bank, a reasonable profit must be made. The
landing rate of Bank is based on all these considerations. It is sometimes
possible that a particular transaction may not appear profitable in itself, but
there may be some ancillary business available, such as deposit from the
borrower other concerns or his foreign exchange business, which may highly
remunerative. In this way, the transaction may on the whole be profitable for
Bank.
Purpose
Another significant principle which is to be kept in view when advancing is
the Purpose. The purpose for which lending is made should he productive as to
ensure definite source or repayment. Banks discourage advances for Harding
Stocks or for Speculative activities.
There are obvious risks involved therein apart from the antisocial nature of
such transactions. The Banker must closely scrutinize the purpose for which
the money is required and ensure as far as he can, that the borrower applies the
money borrowed for a particular purpose accordingly. Purpose has assumed a
special significant in the present-day concept or Banking.
Diversification of Risks
The security consciousness of a Banker and the integrity of the Borrower are
not adequate factors to keep the Banker on safe side. What is more important
is the diversification of Risk. This means, he should not lend a major portion
of his loan able funds to any single Borrower or to an Industry or to one
particular Region. In fact, the entire Banking business is one of taking
calculated risks and a successful banker is an expert in assessing such risks.
He is keen on spreading the risks involved in lending over a large number of
Borrowers, over a large number of Industries and Areas, and over different
types of securities; the advances must not be in one particular Industry. Too
many eggs should not be placed in one basket, because any adversity faced by

62

that particular Industry will have serious effect on the Bank. Slump does not
normally affect all Industries and business simultaneously.
Security
Whenever a money lender lends money he must be consider carefully the
changes of his being repaid by the Borrower and is therefore not normally
content to rely on the obligation or the Borrower alone but wants some
tangible security from which he can obtain repayment in case the Borrower is
unable to meet his obligations. Without taking such security the business of
money lending would be too speculative. The Banker also making advances
and loans naturally wants to secure him by some reliable security. Security is
considered as insurance or a caution to fall back upon in case of emergency.
Bankers may realize it and reimburse themselves if the well calculated and
certain source of repayment unexpectedly fails. It is, however, incorrect to
consider an advance proposal from the point of view of security alone. An
advance is granted by a good banker on its own merits, that is to say with due
regard to its safety, capacity liquidity purpose etc. and after looking in to the
character, capacity and capital or the Borrower and not only because the
security is good.
Sources of Repayment
A sound credit is one where timely repayment is assured. So, before giving
financial accommodation, a Banker should consider the source from which
repayment is promised. In some instances, debentures, which are to be
redeemed in few month times or a lire policy, which is to mature in near
future, may be offered as security. Advances against such security give no
trouble.
Sometimes customers may apply for loans for additional Working Capital for
their business and undertake to repay out of the profits over a period. In such
cases, the Rate at which the customer can reasonably hope to repay should be
ascertained. An examination of the audited accounts may guide the Banker in
knowing the repayment capacity of the customer.

63

Suitability

Even when an Advance satisfies all the aforesaid principles it may still not be
suitable. The Advance may be encountered to National interest. These
Principles may have to be amended to a certain extent. Suitability of Advance
from National viewpoint has therefore come to be regarded as a basic principle
of Lending.
The Integrity & Reliability of the Borrower
The last and the most fundamental principle of lending are the integrity and
reliability of the borrower. To avoid bad debt, it is the basic factor before any
loan proposal can be considered. The success of any business depends upon
the ability of the Banker to study borrowers. The study of a borrower involves
the study of the five C's of the Party. This five C's refer to Parties:
 Character
 Capacity
 Capital
 Conduct &
 Capability
Instead of five C's some authors mention the five R's. This five R's indicates
Parties:
 Reliability
 Responsibility
 Resources
 Respectability &
 Return
5.2

Classification of General Advances:

Bank is service as well as profit oriented organization. So, making of loans


and advances have always been prominent and profitable function of a bank.
Sanctioning Credit to customers and others out of the funds at its disposal is

64

one of the Principle services of a modern Bank. Advances made in Pubali


Bank in different natures, such as, Cash Credits (CC), Overdrafts, Small 1loans, Demand Loans, Bills purchased & discounted, House building Loans
and Staff Loans etc. Pubali Bank deals with the money from the depositors
repayable on demand. So, it can't afford to lend their funds for long periods.
5.2.1 Cash Credit (CC):
A cash credit is an arrangement by which the customer is allowed to borrow
money up to a certain limit. This is a parliament arrangement and the customer
need not draw the sanctioned amount at once, but draw the amount as and
when required. He can put back any surplus amount, which he may find with
him. Thus, Cash Credit is an active and continuous process in which Deposits
and Withdrawals going on frequently. Interest is charged only for the amount
withdrawn and not for the whole amount charged. It is operated in the same
way s a current account on which an Overdraft has been sanction. Cash Credit
accounts are, however, maintained in a separate ledger. Primary securities
under consideration in case of Case Credit are goods, produce and
merchandise. This is the most favorite of borrowing by large commercial and
industrial concerns. On account of the advantage that a customer need not
borrow at once. He can either draw or repay, in whole amount or in part, the
amount advanced at any time to suit his convenience. Cash Credits are of two
Types, such as:
Hypothecation
In case of "Hypothecation", possession of goods not transferred to the Bank &
therefore such all advances can thus only be granted to a person in whose
integrity the Banker has full confidence and Cash Credit in the form of
"Hypothecation" is normally accompanied with Mortgage of Immovable
Properties.
Cash Credit is the favorite mode of Borrowing by traders, Industrialists,
Agriculturists etc. for meeting their working capital requirements. This type of
facility is always against Pledge of goods, produce and merchandise. In a
manufacturing company, whose stocks of raw materials and manufactured
goods constantly fluctuated, it is difficult for the bank to control such charges;
so "Hypothecation" facilities are allowed to them. The same is true of the

65

small traders and small industrialists who can't offer their stocks for Pledge but
can only hypothecate the stock in their shop. In this case, Ownership and
Possession of the goods remain with the borrower although by virtue of the
"Hypothecation" agreement. The Bank can take Possession of the goods if the
Borrower defaults.

Pledge
In case of "Pledge" the possession of the goods is delivered to the Creditor i.e.
Banker. It is therefore, regarded as the most secured type of Advance. Cash
Credit in its truest sense is against pledge of goods. It is a separate ledger. In
addition, Goods Ledger, Go-down Register, Go-down Key register, Go-down
Index Card etc. are also maintained. Deliveries of goods are made on the
strength of delivery order issued by the Banks and goods are received through
goods Challans deposited Borrower. The person who transfers the goods is
called Pledger (Party) and to whom it is transferred is called the Pledge (The
Banker).
Duties of the Banker (Pledge)
 The Pledge is bound to take that much care of the goods pledged which
an ordinary prudent man would take of his own goods under similar
circumstances.
 The Pledge must make use of the goods pledged according to the
agreement is entitled to terminate the contract and claim damages, if
any.
 The Pledge must deliver the goods to the Pledge on repayment of the
debt. It is duty of the Pledge to deliver the goods according to the
direction of the Pledge.
 The Pledge must deliver to the Pledge any increase or profit which
may have occurred from the goods bailed for example, dividend on
shares.
 The Pledge is responsible to the Pledge for any loss, destruction or
deterioration of the goods is not returned at the proper time.

66

5.2.2 Overdraft
In case of Advance sanctions by way of overdrafts, the customer is sanctioned
a limit up to which he can overdraw his current account within a stipulated
period. This is a fluctuating account here in the balance some times may be in
credit and sometimes in debit and overdrawn amount must always remain
within the sanction limit. From the customer point of views, this arrangement
is advantageous, as he is required to pay interest on the amount actually used
by him.
Overdraft facilities are generally Granted to Businessmen for expansion their
business against securities of stock in trade, Shares, Debentures, Government
Promissory notes, fixed Deposit, Life Insurance Policies, Gold and Gold
ornaments etc. In some cases, where the overdraft is allowed with no other
security except the personal security of the borrower.
5.2.3 Small Loans
It refers to the lending allowed to small traders, collage industries, small-scale
industries and self-employed persons. The maximum ceiling for this loan is at
present Tk. 5000/- for small traders and self employed persons. Tk. 2,00,000/for cottage industries and small-scale industries, such loans are generally
production/ development oriented rather than security oriented & this is the
way of emphasis in these cases is on the purpose of the advance as well as
skill regulation and capacity of the Borrower. The security requirements are
substituted are substituted the end-use and frequent supervision of the credit.
5.2.4 Demand Loan
This is the fixed type of lending in its original form. The entire amount is paid
to the debtor at on time, either in cash or by transfer to his current or savings
bank account. No subsequent debit is ordinarily allowed except by way of
interest, incidental charges, insurance premium, expenses incurred for the
protection of the security etc. A separate ledger is used for the maintenance of
this account and as no subsequent withdrawal is allowed, no cheque is issued
into this account. The following types of demand loan:
 Secured Demand Loan against Stock Exchange, Paper Securities,
Goods, Produce and Merchandise.

67

 Staff Demand loan.

5.2.5 Staff Loan


Pubali Bank provides advances to the staffs for buying Motorcycles and
bicycles, for wedding their sons or daughter etc. It is called Staff Loan. Bank
provides this advance of this sector under installments. At the end of each
amount, when the staffs withdrawn there salary, Bank takes Tk. 525/- of the
salary from the concerned staffs in any advances.

5.2.6 House Building Loan


House Building Finance Corporation (HBFC) is the main institution to meet
the requirement in the field but Pubali Bank also supplement to this sector
Advances for construction of residential houses against real states as primary
securities as allowed by Banks up to Tk. 500 lacks per party (including cost of
land) minus any loan taken from HBFC for these purpose. Pubali Bank may
grant advances for construction of commercial Building also against Teal
states. The rate of interest for all such loans is 16% per annum and Maximum
repayment period is 12 years. In such cases, parties have to pay down payment
of 30% of the total amount and rest of the amount should be repaid within 2
years.
5.2.7 Purchase and Discount of Bills
Purchase and discount of Bills is also a special form of advances. Pubali bank
normally purchase demand Bills of exchange that are called drafts
accompanied by documents or title to such as Bill of lading, Railway of Truck
receipt. The purchase of bills of exchange drawn at an issuance i.e. for a
certain period maturing on a future date and not payable on demand or sight is
termed as discounting a Bill and the charge recovered by Bank for this is
called "Discount". This is not very common in our country and is normally
limited with the discount of Foreign Bills; inland Bills are rarely discounted of
an organized Bill market.

68

5.2.8 Mid term Loans


Pubali Bank or Commercial Banks because of their Capital structure
constitution and liquidity consideration are advancing for short term on
Principle. But Modern Banks have stated lending a safe proportion of their
demand and time liabilities for fairly long periods to House Building.
Industrial Agricultural, Transport and many other sectors. Such loans are
repayable by installments over a number of years ranging from 2 to 12
(Agricultural Loans ranging from 6 to 15 months), so far as, nature and
conduct are concerned those loans and time to be fixed from advancing with
minor variations as though limits are not withdraws by a time and these are
allowed to be payable on installments or phases but no subsequent debit
transactions are allowed to the Borrowers in the account beyond the
disbursement of sanctioned limit.
5.2.9 Consumer Credit
Technological improvement around the whole world is increasing day by day.
But, the per capita income restricted the consumer from enjoying such
improvement. In Bangladesh most of the people are standing below the
minimum standard of living. As a result, they can't always do whatever they
like or they can't buy whatever they want. For Example if we see the
Television or computer market, we will find a huge expense behind this. On
the other hand, it is very hard to live without Television now-a day. To solve
this problem, various Commercial Banks offering various types of loans to the
consumer so that they can enjoy these innovation and fixed a very easy
installment process to repay that money. Pubali Bank also offering loan calling
Consumer Credit Scheme in various types of goods like Television Mobile
Phone etc. 14% interest is allowed in this scheme.
5.2.10 Transport Loan
Advances are allowed against Hypothecation of power driven vehicles (PDV)
including water crafts for genuine transport business to sufficient credit parties
at 30% margin and suitable guarantee from persons of sufficient and standing
where considered necessary mortgage of urban immovable property registered
equitable are also to be obtained by way of additional securities or in suitable
case. In case of acceptance of mortgage, the minimum may be reduced up to

69

10 percent. These loans should be repayable within maximum period of two


years, which is subject to renewal with approval from Head Office. There are,
however, restriction of Bangladesh about extending discredit facilities existing
capacity and capital assets that is running Buses, Cars, and all other taps of
vehicles or Launches. Advances are allowed only for creating additional
capacity such as acquisition of new Buses, Trucks, Coasters, and Taxies etc.
5.3 Credit Policy of Pubali Bank Limited:
The credit policy pursed by Bangladesh Bank is to be aimed at ensuring
development of scare Bank resources in the best possible manner for
increasing Production, employment and Real income within its objectives.
Both selective and qualitative credit can't were adapted to the socio-economic
priorities, distributive and justice need for containing money supply within a
safe limit.
Pubali Bank takes the policies, which help the development of several sectors

5.7

Principles of General Advance:

The principles of general advances management policy of any Banking


institution is needed to be very systematic. It needs to have certain accepted
standards and flexibility so that the policy can change in different realities and
situations. Beside this, L.C. Mathur says that "An ideal advance is one which
is granted to a reliable customer for an approved purpose in which that
customer has adequate experience, safe in the knowledge that the money will
be used to advantages and repayment will be made within a reasonable period
from trading receipts or known maturities due or on about given date".
The accepted standards relate to Safety, Liquidity and Profitability of the
Advance where as the dynamic factors relate to aspects such as the nature and
extend or risk. Head Office issues General Principles about the conduct of
advance. In all types of Business dealings, officers and employees must be
guided by the Principles or honesty, integrity and safeguard the interest of the

72

depositors and shareholders of the Bank. They should strictly adhere to the
Banking laws Rules and Regulations of the govt. of Bangladesh, the
instruction issued by Bangladesh Bank Head Office from time to time that
affects business practice of the bank. However, the key to safe, liquid, health
and profitable credit operation depends in the quality of judgment used by the
officers making lending decisions. The principles are described below
precisely:

5.7.1 Credit Investigation


Before sanctioning any credit to the Borrower the concern Branch of that Bank
firstly investigate about the Borrower, Project, acceptability, market situation
etc. Various types of investigation are discussed below:

Purpose:
Purpose should be the primary guiding principle, which is kept in view. The
purpose for which lending is made should be productive as to ensure definite
source of repayment. Banks discourage advances for Harding stocks or for
speculative activities. There are obvious risks involved there in a part from the
antisocial nature or such transaction. Banker must closely scrutinize the
purpose for the borrower applies a particular purpose accordingly. Purpose has
assumed a special significance in the present day concept of Banking.

Selection of the Borrower:


A Banker would select Borrower/ Entrepreneurs who would take loan from
the Bank for their Business purpose or industry purpose. A prudent Banker
should always notice background, Character, Capital, Capacity and Purpose of
the Borrowers/Entrepreneurs. An entrepreneur who does not live at the
commanding area and what is has social status. The Banker should consider
this decide to pay loan to the Entrepreneurs.

Verification of the Primary Securities:


Whenever a moneylender lends money he must consider carefully the changes
of his being repaid by the Borrower and is therefore not normally content to

73

rely on the obligation of the borrower above but wants some tangible security
from which he can obtain repayment, in case the borrower is unable to meet
his obligations. The Banker also, making advances and loans, naturally wants
to secure himself by some reliable security. Security is considered as an
insurance to fail back upon in case or emergency. Bankers may realize it and
reimburse themselves if the well calculated and most certain source or
repayment unexpectedly fails. An advance is granted near a good Banker on
its own Merits, that s to say with due regard to its Safety, Liquidity purpose
etc. and looking after into the character, capacity of the borrower and not
because the security is good.
In the case of advances against Hypothecation or stock, stock statement is to
be or twice a month as per terms of sanction. The certificate at the foot of the
state should be signed by an Authorized person to operate the Account. These
statements are to be carefully verified to see the turnover of stock, the price of
the Goods, Quality of goods etc. The price must be made market price or
invoice price whichever is lower. A copy of the statement is kept at the Branch
and the other one is sent to Head Office/regional Office.

Verification of the Cultural Security


Collateral Security is a security, which is Immovable from one Place to
another. A Branch Manger always should notice the verification of the
collateral securities that Bank sanctioned to the Borrower. A Manger should
verify:
 Location
 Possession
 Situation
 Present market Value
 Force sale value of the security as if the Bank can sale the security
when the borrower fail to repay.

74

Supervision is very important in the aspect of Loan /Sanctioning and
Disbursing process. Because, if the Bank failed to identify the real borrower ,
Bank will incur the total loss. In this context, Branch Manger will exercise his
commonsense and proper case in handling advances by them or any other
appropriate authority. This has to realize by the Manger that he is the corner
stone of the Bank and the overall success of Bank depends to large extent
upon him. His total work represents himself to the local public and the

control Advances judiciously to save the Bank fro-falling Losses. The entire

the borrower. He has to alert about the following things:

5.7.7 Recovery
Advance is such kind of arrangement that its clients are repayable this either
on demand at the expiry of fixed period or as per repayment schedule agreed
upon while granting the facilities. If a loan is repayable on installment is not
repaid on due date. Overdraft and Credit are legally repayable on Demand,
although the Bank seldom exercises the right but in certain customers. In the
case, when loan is repayable in installment, entire loan usually becomes
immediately recoverable of at the option of the Bank.
Banks generally feel Risky their advances under the following cases:
I)

If the death occurs either of the Borrower or of the


Guarantor.

78

II)

If the Borrower is reported to have committed as act of


insolvency or has filed and application for his insolvency.

III)

Dissolution the Partnership.

IV)

Liquidation the Borrowing Company.

V)

Failure to renew the documents sufficient before the expire


of the limitation.

VI)

If there any serious deterioration in the financial position of


the Party.

VII)

If the Borrower failed to maintain the stipulated margin.

VIII) Change the Bank policy of lending.


IX)

The policy of the selective credit control by Bangladesh


Bank.

Industrial Credit Department (ICD):

Industrial credit department are advanced three types of credit they are:
 Pubali Bank Industrial Credit Scheme (Project)
 Pubali Bank Industrial Credit Scheme (Working Capital)
 Pubali Bank Industrial Credit Scheme (Agro. Based)
5.8.1 Preparation of Loan Proposal
To get Advances or loans from Banks, it is not very easy way to acquire. It
demands some preparation from the Borrower. Because, which the amount is
sanctioning by the banks is not of its own. The public deposits this amount, so
it is very risky for Bank to lend this to the Borrower. If the Bank fails to
recovery that money then it should be paid from its own fund. As a result,
Banks fixed a systematic way to minimize this lending risk and try to proper
use of the money. Proposal requires:
 Loan Application.
 Required Paper as per Ownership of the Industry.

79

 Schedule of Mortgage Properties and Relevant Papers.


 Market reputation.
 Other Bank opinion about the previous money Lending.
 Feasibility Study.
 Lending Risk Analysis.
 Financial spread sheet analysis.
 Credit scoring.
 Forwarding.
 Valuation of Certificate.
 Trade License & CIB Report.
 Commercial Invoice.
 Certificate of Origin.
 Memorandum of Association & Articles or Association.
 No objection Certificate from Local Authority and from Ministry of
Environment.
 C.S, R.S & S/A of Land.
 Mutation Certificate.
 Affidavit and Personal Guarantee.


General Irrevocable Power of Attorney.

Loan Sanction, Disbursement and Recovery Procedure almost same as


General Advances.
Working Capital Management involves the financial and Management of the
Current assets of the Firm/industry. A Firms/industries ability to properly
manage Current assets and the associated liability obligations may be
determine how well it is able to survive in the short run, When a Firm/industry
is unable to meet its current assets (payment of labor, raw materials etc.) then
the Firm/Industry to the Bank for Working Capital. After proper investigation,
Bank sanctions Working Capital for that Firm.

CHAPTER-7

CONCLUSION

102

CHAPTER-7
Conclusion

7.1. Problems Findings:


There are several problems which I practically observe of PBL as follows:
1. Lack of Segmentation:
The Bank has no segmentation to handle different type of
customers. They are equally treating of all the customers to provide
service. But high status clients seek on extra honor from Bank or
institution.

2. Lack of Up to Date Decoration:


The Branch is not decorated with ultra modern facility and not so
nice to look at. Their furnitures and relevant materials are not so
high standard.

3. Work Environment is not so suitable:


The work environment is noisy and full of crowd sometimes. It is
bad for any financial organization and also bad for security. There
is no siting arrangement of good no of people.

4. Hard Rules & Regulation to Open A/C:


The procedures to open an account are full of hard & fast rules and
regulations (as per Bangladesh Bank). But compare to other Bank
prime bank is not as flexible as they are doing to open A/C or
attract customers.

5. Root level Clients are deprived From Deposit:


Many root level customers come and back to pavilion with a
frustration. So they are neglected and deprived to get banking
service.

103

6. Lack of Sufficient Computers & Technology:


Computers are carrying need of any organization in the age of
technology. But the branch has only 4 computers to use by almost
27 employees. This is very few to run the task through computer.
Lack of good software and format PO, DD are manually prepared in
the branch.

7. Non-quality Photocopy Machine:


The branch has only one photocopy machine which is sometimes in
clinical death. The output of this machine is not ensuring the
quality of original documents. So it is an image problem of the
Bank.

8. Un Smart Peon, Messenger, Security & Tea Bay:


It is a matter of great regret that the peon staffs of the branch are
lazy, whimsical, and above all illiterate to behave and work with
someone.

9. Customer Objectives:
Many customers complain to me to improve and first the service as
well as behavior of the staff as it is a private bank.. Customers
require especially quick, accurate service and good behavior from
bankers.

10. Lack of Good Cooperation:


Every organization has this type of problem. But it should be
minimized to faster the service as it is the financial institution and
one depends to another to complete a process fully.
11. Some Sort of Ego:
Some employees of this branch feel always some sort of ego that
they are something different. But this is not a symbol of good sign.
Ego drive is harmful for team work specially.

12. Lengthy Procedures & Process:


The scheduled activities of the bank like A/C opening A/C closing
and issuing of solvency certificates are delay sometimes due to lack
of proper initiates. This tendency is bad for banking good service.

104

CSS maturity and closing require 3 days, which is an image of


Govt. Bank.

13. Low Interest Rate Cannot Attract Customers:


Compare to many others Banks prime Bank offer low interest rate
to depositors. So they are not interested to keep there money in
low rate of interest. The PBL management is only hunting to ward
low cost and no cost deposit.

14. Customers Complains:


Customers all complains are related with lengthiness and time
consuming of tasks. The small depositor like CSS A/C holder claim
to receive money instantly. But it is not possible for slow and lack
of cordial interruption of the management.

7.2. Policy Guidelines / Recommendations:


On the basis of theoretical analysis and practical experience of 3 months
internship program. I may suggest the following issues:
1. Provide Up To Date Technology:
The branch should be more technologically rich than present time.
Then all manual tasks will be converted into computerized system

2. Information Cell Establishment:


Each and every branch should establish an information cell with
one/two dump smart executives who will be able to provide all sort
of information regarding banking and respective branch. In my
question Almost 200 responded are agreed with my proposal.

3. Provide Nice Decoration:


Now a days private Bank is an image building and most nice
environment organization. So the decoration should be unique and
better than our competitors.

4. Handling Customers Well:


I think the staffs of the branch should be trained up how to handle
different type of customers. The training should not limit only GB,
Credit, And Foreign exchange etc.

5. Behavior Modification of the Employees:


Very few employees behavior should be modified enough to
maintain positive attitude toward banks. They should always think
it is a private bank and fully service oriented organization.
Customer is the king / Queen they should remember it almost
every time in office or out side the office.

6. Maintain Service Quality:


We believe in quality not quantity. Quality is an important
phenomenon of service organization always quality should achieve
the pick of standard. If quality of service is good then 50% problem
will be automatically reduced.

7. Offer Competitive Interest Rate:


PBL should offer high competitive interest rate to attract depositor
to increase the liquidity. Then it will able to deal with call money
business in the age of fluting rate of exchange.

8. Site Selection of Branch:


Management should carefully consider the location to set up a new
branch. Because it is a question-which is vital to deal business?
Answer is location, location and location.

9. Deposit Mobilization:
Prime Bank has to increase their deposit mobilization growth. Also
AB bank has to take necessary action to maintain and improve their
deposit mobilization growth rate.

10. Operating Income:


For the maximizing the operating income, prime bank should try to
take necessary action to increased the operating income.
11. Reduce Expenditure:
Very essential to reduce the expenditure of the prime bank. Prime
bank expenditure is very high other than two banks.
12. Remove Slow Rate of profit:

106

Prime bank profit is increased previous year but grow rate is low.
So take necessary steps to increase the profit.
13. Foreign Trade:
Foreign trade increase is the essential for the prime bank. The
maximum amount of total earning comes from foreign trade.
14. Performance Increase:
Prime Bank should increase their performance by engaging efficient
decision maker in the managerial level.

introduce

one of the major problems of banking sector.

Proper training should be given in order to create efficient


personnel.

World Banks prescription for banking reform programmed


should bee analysis before implementing.

16. Proper Autonomy:


Private Banks should be give proper autonomy and be kept free
from political and other sorts of intervention. Though, autonomy
does not mean lack of monitoring by the authority, yet it has
advantages of being quick and flexible in implementing different
plans and programs.

problems Pubali Bank Ltd. is the fastest growing private commercial bank in
the country. The bank is already at the top slot in terms of quality service to

circumstances, the Bank closed the year of 2005 with a number of
