where I have to perform following tasks:
 Entering information in KYC (know your customer) forms.

of hidden potential and strength of economy.
Fortunately, the banking sector of the country has the well organized and properly
institutionalized system, which is the major vehicle not only for mobilization of
resources to finance trade, agriculture, and industry but also for the effective
conduct of monetary policy.
The emergence of new bank on the national scene in the early 1990s has done two
important services to the nation.
The saving base of the economy has effectively enlarged and hence the

investment opportunities have increased.
The services of the banks in the fact of severe competition have improved

considerably so that now consumer are left with extensive choice to do or
undo their business relations with these banks keeping in view quality of
their services.

GENERAL BANKING OF THE BANK OF PUNJAB

DEPOSIT DEPARTMENT

In modern times very few business enterprises are carried out solely with the
capital of the owners. Borrowing funds from different sources has becomes an essential
feature of today business enterprise. But in the case of a entire banking system is based
on it. The borrowed capital of the bank is much greater then their own capital. Banks
borrowing is mostly in the form of deposits.

These deposits are lent out to different parties. The larger the difference between
the rate at which the deposits are borrowed and the rate at which they is lent out the
greater of the profit margin of the bank. Furthermore, the larger the deposit the larger will
be the funds available for employment; larger the funds lent out the greater will be the
profit of the bank.

To receive the deposit is the basic function of all commercial banks. The bank
does not receive these deposits for save keeping purpose only, but they accept deposits as
debts. When banks receive deposit from a customer, the relationship of a debtor and
creditor is established where by the customer become the creditor and the bank a debtor.
When the bank receives amount of deposit as a debtor, it becomes the owner of it. It may,
therefore use it as deems appropriate. But there is an implicit agreement that the amount
owned would be paid back by the bank to the depositor after a specified period.

NATURE OF DEPOSIT

 Current or demand Deposits

Internship Report 29
The Bank of Punjab

 Saving Deposit
 Short Notice Term Deposit
 Call Deposits
 Fixed or Term Deposits

CURRENT DEPOSIT

Current deposit are those which are payable to bank whenever demand by the
customer. Bank doesn’t pay any profit on current deposits. There are of different scheme
of saving deposits, which are classified under different duration purpose and rate of
interest. Fixed deposits are those which are by the bank under the conditions that will not
be payable on demand but will be payable under fixed or determinate future time date.

SAVING DEPOSIT

This type of accounts is one step towards the Islamization of banking system in
Pakistan. There are two types of PLS Accounts.

 PLS Saving Account


 PLS-TDR (Profit & Loss Sharing Term Deposit Receipts).
PLS saving accounts can be opened with the minimum sum of Rs. 100 and PLS-
TDR account can be opened for a sum of Rs. 1000 or above. Profit is paid on both types
of the PLS account on half yearly basis.
Under PLS saving account the depositor undertakes to share profit or loss on the deposits
earned or sustained by the bank. Secondly the bank is at the liberty to invest the funds of
the deposits in any avenue, it deems fit. The PLS deposits are invested in non-interested
channels.

SHORT NOTICE TERM DEPOSITS

Internship Report 30
The Bank of Punjab

This kind of deposit is for a short period. The depositor may withdraw his deposit
at any time by giving seven days notice to the bank. This type of deposit facilitates the
depositor to withdrawn his amount with interest of the deposited period.

CALL DEPOSIT

Call deposits are the sorts of deposits, which are deposited with the banker against
any tender. This is without interest deposit. This may be with interest provided the
depositor has agreed to keep this amount with the bank for some fixed period.

TERM DEPOSIT RECEIPTS


This type of deposit is same as the SNTD. The difference is that SNTD is for short period
(7- 30 days) while TDR is for long period (1 month up to 5 years).

ACCOUNT OPENING SECTION

Account opening is the first step towards establishing a relationship between the
customer and the bank. The Bank of Punjab is offering basically two types of account:
 Current Deposit Account
 Profit and Loss Sharing Account

The necessary condition for a customer, who wants to open an account with the bank, is
introduction, which is preferably by the bank officers or any account holder of the bank.
The different categories of accounts that are available are as under.
 Individual Account
 Joint Account
 Partnership Account

Internship Report 31

 Limited Company Account


 Clubs, Society, Association, or Trust Account
 SNTD
 TDR
 Foreign Currency Deposit

ACCOUNT OPENING PROCEDURE

The general banking department performs various functions among them the first
and most important function is Account Opening. The bank reserves the right to open
any account, which in its opinion is suitable as a customer. The process of
opening an account is very simple and any body that would like to open his account could
do it easily without any difficulty.
The person would like to open his account is required to meet with the manager or
second officer, who will give him an Application form specifically used for account
opening. Along with the form a card for specimen signature is also supplied to the
customer. Manager has every right not to accept this contract if he is not satisfied with
the details provided by the customer. But in case the contract is acceptable to both, the
next step is official account opening.
This begins with the Account Opening Register which can be thought as a
customer’s master file. The manager records the necessary details into this register5 and
allots an “Account Number” from this account opening register. This register is
maintained for each type of accounts and the account numbers are allotted serially. After
opening the account every applicant’s date is entered in the computer to maintain the safe
record and application form is also safely put off, so that it can be available whenever it is
needed. Checking officer is responsible to tally the manual data with computerized
account opening file. For fix deposit only the application form is needed, which is
prepared manually, because most of the procedures of fix deposit is done manually.
Signature specimen card contains three signatures of the applicant, applicant account
number, account type, branch code, and title of account. It will be attached with the

Internship Report 32
The Bank of Punjab

account opening form. Banker uses this card when he receives the cheque, he compares
signature on the cheque with the Specimen card, for avoiding the frauds.

ADVANCES/CREDIT DEPARTMENT

It is the loan function, which produces the major person of bank’s income, and as

PRINCIPLES WHILE ADVANCING


Basically there are five principles that must be duly observed while advancing
money to borrowers.
 Safety
 Liquidity
 Disposal
 Remuneration
 Suitability

FORMS OF LENDING

Many there are two types of advances:


 Short-term (maturity within one year)
 Long term (maturity with the period of more than one year)
However they are further classified as:
 Running Finance
 Demand Finance
 Cash Finance
 Letter of Guarantee

Internship Report 44
The Bank of Punjab

RUNNING FINANCE

This form of finance was previously known as “overdraft”. When a customer


requires the temporary accommodation, his bank allows withdrawal his account in excess
of credit balance, which the customer has in its account, a running finance

occurs. The accommodation is thus allowed collateral security. When it is against


collateral securities, it is called a “Secured Running Finance” and when the customer
cannot offer any collateral security except his personal security, accommodation is called
a “Clean Running Finance.” The customer is in advantageous position in running finance
because he has to pay the mark-up only the balance outstanding against him on daily
product basis.

DEMAND FINANCE
This is common form of financing to commercial and industrial concerns and is
mad available either against pledge or hypothecation of goods produce or merchandise.
In Demand Finance the party is financed up to a certain limit either at

once or as and when required. The party due to facility of paying mark-up only on the
amount it actually utilizes prefers this form of financing
.
 Ordinary Shares
 Preferred Shares
It can be
 Quoted or Unquoted

Internship Report 45
The Bank of Punjab

 Registered
 Bearer
 Inscribed

Securities for Advances:

 Pledge

 Hypothecation

 Guarantee

 Indemnity

 Charge

 Advances against “ Stock Exchange Securities

 Advances against immovable property “Mortgage”

Pledges:

“The bailment of goods as security for the payment of the debt and

the performance of a promise is called pledge”

Pledge is the characteristic mode of taking goods as the security and the

pledge occurs when the goods or document of the title thereto or the

securities are delivered by the customer to his banker to be held as security

for the repayment of the advance.

Internship Report 46
The Bank of Punjab

In a pledge, the ownership remains with the pledger but the pledgee

has the exclusive possession of the property until the advances in repaid in

full, while in case of default the pledgee has the power of sale after giving

due notice.

People with the safe custody of goods, when entrusted with the goods for the

specific purpose may not make the valid pledge.

Hypothecation:
“A legal transaction where by goods may be made available as the security

for a debt without transferring either the property or the possession to the

ledger.”

When the property in goods is in charged as the security for a loan

from the bank but the ownership and the possession is left with the

borrower, the

goods are said to be hypothecated. The essence of the hypothecation is that

neither the property in the goods nor the possession of them passes to the

lender, but the security is guaranteed by means of Letter of Hypothecation,

which usually provides for a banker’s charge of the hypothecated goods.

Guarantees:

Internship Report 47
The Bank of Punjab

“A contract to perform the promise, or discharge the liability of the

third person in case of his default”

This is so when an application for the advances cannot offer any

tangible security, the banker may rely on the personal guarantees to protect

himself against loss and advances or overdraft to the applicant. Therefore a

guarantee may be either written or Oral. The Grantee is a promise by one

person called the guarantor or security to another for answering the present

or future debt if a second person called the “Principal Debtor”.

Indemnity:

“A contract by which one party promises to save the other from loss

caused to him by the conduct of the promisor himself or by any other person

is called the contract of indemnity”

Thus in an indemnity, the promisor is the only person who becomes

liable to the promise if the latter suffers a loss on account of his doing

something at the express desire of the former.

Internship Report 48
The Bank of Punjab

Charges:

When immovable property of one person is by act of parties, or

operation of law, made security for payment of money to another, and the

transaction does not amount to mortgage, the latter person is said to have the

charge on the property, and all the provisions herein before contained which

apply to a simple mortgage shall, so far as may be apply to such charge.”

This means that a charge is a right of payment out of certain property.

The charge can be created by the act of parties or by the operation of the law

and although the property is made a security the payment of loan, is still not

he mortgage.

Internship Report 49
The Bank of Punjab

Advances against Stock Exchange Securities:


Stock Exchanges Securities is the vast term which covers all gilt

edged securities such as:

 Federal and Provincial Government Bonds

 Post trust or Municipal Bonds

 Shares and debentures

Banker, as security for advances to the customer, frequently accepts

these securities. Advances can be against:

 Preference Shares

 Ordinary Shares

 Inscribed

Internship Report 50
The Bank of Punjab

ADVANCES AGAINST IMMOVABLE PROPERTY

A mortgage is the transfer of and interest in specific immovable property for the
purpose of securing the payment of the money, advanced or to be advanced. By way of
loan, and existing debts or the performances of the engagement this may rise the
pecuniary liability.
The transfer is called the ‘mortgager’ and the transferee the ‘mortgagee’ the principal
money and interest of which payment is secured for the time being and instrument by
which the transfer is effected, is called the letter of the mortgage deed.
Availability of adequate flows of credit for industry and agriculture are a sine qua non for
the growth and development of an economy. This acquires added importance when
agriculture is the mainstay of the economy as also the sector where the bulk of the poor
are concentrated. Growth and productivity in Pakistan's agriculture has slowed down in
recent years and is, therefore, of serious concern given its importance for the economic
prosperity of the country. Apart from various other weaknesses in
the infrastructural support of the agricultural sector, inadequacy and lack of efficacy of
credit, flows to support agriculture related activities has been a major constraining factor.
Agriculture is the largest sector of the economy. It contributes 25 percent to GDP,
provides raw materials to 80 percent of industry and employment to over 50 percent of
the population. This is a sector that has the shortest gestation period for
investments and, therefore, a remarkable capacity to bring about a turn around in the
economy. This important sector in Pakistan is suffering from a number of maladies and is
consequently witnessing stagnation in productivity.
Due to policy and administrative exigencies, the savings in the agriculture sector remain
low and, therefore, the sector has perpetually remained capital starved. The pricing of
input and output in agriculture over the years has forced the majority of farmers in
Pakistan to plough back their incomes into agriculture and non-institutional credit, and
has more often than not served to sap their potential earnings. Needless to say, that
shortage of savings and lack of availability of capital is one of the major reasons for

Internship Report 51
The Bank of Punjab

poverty in the country. The agricultural and rural sectors in Pakistan in general and in
Punjab in particular are, therefore, suffering from severe under-development. Under a
desirable development model, Punjab can:

 Increase agricultural production to meet the country's requirement of essential foods


items and industrial raw materials.
 Develop agro-based industry in the rural sector for economic value addition;
 Generate additional employment opportunities in rural as well as adjacent small
towns/cities

 Control massive migration to the urban centers that in turn is causing a number of
social, administrative (i.e. law and order) and economic problems for the urban areas
 Elevate poverty and improve the income generating capacity of the agri-based
population.

PRICE
“The amount of money the customers pay for the product of a company”.
BOP provides different products and services to its customers, that have been discussed
in previous section. Pricing of products means the commission to be paid by the customer
in return of services provided by the bank. The commission paid for the services mainly
includes:
Mark up/ interest
Bank charges
Fees and bank commission etc.

These charges and commissions are prescribed on Schedule of Bank Charges (SOC) that
keeps on changing time-to-time, and issued by the bank periodically (generally after six
months).
There has been a lot of controversy regarding the price of banking companies. Some
scholars argue that the mark up received by the bank is rent for capital that is used by
others. On the contrary, some call it purely Riba. This however is a very controversial
and sensitive issue and I would like not to give any comment on it.

PROMOTION
“All activities that a company undertakes to communicate and promote its products”.
This is an age of competition. Numerous organizations are providing financial services to
the customer. These days every one is facing pressure of competitors. In this world of
growing competition, the only way to survive and grow, for an organization, in the
market place is the proper marketing and promotion of its products. Same is the case with
banking companies. There is large number of foreign and local banks working in the
country and it has been noticed that they are emphasizing much on their marketing
strategies. In this scenario, the key for a bank to succeed and attract its customers is
adequate promotion of its products &services. The bank can attract and retain its
customers through:

The most prominent and important way to attract a large number of customers is the
advertisement of bank and its products/services. Punjab Bankhas adopted different
approaches for the accomplishment of this purpose. For example, formation of Punjab
Bank Lahore branch is a major step taken by BOP. It not only provides a source of
recreation to the people but it serves as a major source of marketing for the bank. Due to
Punjab Banl assistance for the construction of fountain in Liberty Market Square, it is
named as Punjab Bank Square. BOP Square, for being situated in such a business and
commercial area has its unusual importance and has resulted into bank‟s promotion.

Internship Report 90
The Bank of Punjab

Construction of Gul Barig as main branch Lahore is going to be the revolutionary step for
BOP. It would not serve just as a main branch only, but it would also be a great source of
ever growing marking and promotion of bank.
BOP issued its own rupee travellers cheques with highest denomination during the course
of my internship. I have seen some coloured advertisements of

However, one drawback or shortcoming is that, BOP has formulized a lot of products and
services for its customers, even more than other commercial banks, but any advertisement
on electronic media has not been seen. Since, BOP s major competitor Union Bank
Limited has started large media campaign, so keeping in view these threats, Punjab Bank
should emphasize more on its advertisement.
Along with the advertisement, the bank is providing personal services to its clients with
maximum security as other banks provide. Bank also encourages the public relation
policy of marketing.
Some brochures and promotional material has been printed but it is distributed mainly
through the clients who visit the branch for their day-to-day business or through the
customers who come to get information about new schemes launched by the bank.

EVERYTHING WE DO IS FOR YOU 39
“The activities a bank undertakes to make products and services easily available or
accessible to the customers”.
Bank of Punjab objective has been to expand its branch network to meet clients needs.

The Bank of Punjab

WEAKNESSES

Bank is providing credit facilities only to the urban areas not too much

attention is paid to the rural areas.

As Pakistan is agriculture country but no special schemes for the agri- loans.

Bank is not giving emphasis on the small-scale businesses, which are

large in number in Pakistan.

There is enormous difference between the bank-lending rate and

return on deposits.

The procedure and documentation while sanction loan is thorny, which is

a barrier for advances.

Bank gives targets to employees for deposits due to this reason they

pay more attention to fulfil these targets to save their jobs. This distracts their

attention from their duties.

No job security is there for the employees, and no union exits to secure them.

BOP has only agency arrangements with the foreign banks, no

branch exists outside the Pakistan, while their main competitors have their

own branch network outside the Pakistan.

To improve the services and to remove the problems of customer the

bank has no customer complaint department.

Limited locker facility is there, which does not fulfil the requirements of

customer and charges of lockers are also very high.

Internship Report 96
The Bank of Punjab

OPPORTUNITIES

Bank has a small branch network so The Bank of Punjab can increase its

turnover though increase the number of branches.

Bank has no foreign branches so it should open its branches outside the

country especially in U.K, U.S.A and in U.A.E.

Facilities like financing of housing should also be offered to general

public especially in the urban areas.

In agrarians cities like Rahim Yar Khan there is a potential for

giving credit facilities to farmers.

To increase its advances bank should focus small scale industries and

choose one among them and then a special scheme of lending should be

introduced for that particular small scale industry.

THREATS

Law and order situation in Pakistan is faulty that is why people are not

confident to invest anywhere.

The markets rates are now at extremely low levels, with very little chance

of their going up during the rest of the year. The low interest rate means

low profits for the banks.

Saving rate in Pakistan is very low i.e.15% as compared to 30% in

China and 40% in Malaysia.

Internship Report 97
The Bank of Punjab

As the banking procedures are complicated that is why general

public takes interest into other options of investments like in shares of

companies and in Term Finance Certificates.

Now the world is a global village so competitors may rise from

anywhere in the world at anytime.

In near future the world is going to be free trade zone so the concept of "survival of the

fittest" will be in action.

After the 11 September incident and due to terrorist activities in

Pakistan the economy is moving very slow. It means less investment and as

a result low loan demands.

High rate of taxes on banking companies.

SBP have a heavy penalty on banks for violating the Prudential

Regulation. So it requires greater care while advancing.

Increasing ATM trend among the banks also requires attention of the

management to this side.

POLITICAL FACTORS

Government policies affect the banking sector. Sometimes looking into the
political advantage of a particular party, the Government declares some measures to their
benefits like waiver of short-term agricultural loans, to attract the farmer’s votes. By
doing so the profits of the bank get affected. Various banks in the cooperative sector are
open and run by the politicians. They exploit these banks for their benefits. Sometimes
the government appoints various chairmen of the banks. Various policies are framed by
the SBP looking at the present situation of the country for better control over the banks

FOCUS ON REGULATIONS OF GOVERNMENT


Government affects the performance of banking sector most by legislature and
framing policy .government through its budget affects the banking activities
securitization act has given more power to banking sector against defaulting borrowers.
MONETARY POLICY
Bank Rate: The Bank Rate has been retained unchanged
Repo Rate It has been reduced under the Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF)
Reverse Repo Rate : It has been reduced under LAF by 25 basis points from 3.5% to
3.25% with immediate effect. RBI has retained the option to conduct overnight or longer
term repo/reverse repo under the LAF depending on market conditions and other relevant
factors.
FDI LIMIT
The move to increase Foreign Direct Investment FDI limits to 49 percent from 20
percent during the first quarter of this fiscal came as a welcome announcement to foreign
players wanting to get a foot hold in the Indian Markets by investing in willing Indian
partners who are starved of net

worth to meet CAR norms. Ceiling for FII investment in companies was also increased
from 24.0 percent to 49.0 percent and have been included within the ambit of FDI
investment

Internship Report 101


The Bank of Punjab

ECONOMIC FACTORS
Banking is as old as authentic history and the modern commercial banking are
traceable to ancient times., banking has existed in one form or the other from time to
time. Every year SBP declares its 6 monthly policy and accordingly the various measures
and rates are implemented which has an impact on the banking sector. Also the Union
budget affects the banking sector to boost the economy by giving certain concessions or
facilities. If in the Budget savings are encouraged, then more deposits will be attracted
towards the banks and in turn they can lend more money to the agricultural sector and
industrial sector, therefore, booming the economy. If the FDI limits are relaxed, then
more FDI are brought in India through banking channels

GROWING ECONOMY / GDP


It is great news that today the service sector is contributing more than half of the
Indian GDP. It takes PAKISTAN one step closer to the developed economies of the
world. Earlier it was agriculture which mainly contributed to the GDP. The Pakistani
government is still looking up to improve the GDP of the country and so several steps
have been taken to boost the economy. Policies of FDI
LOW INTEREST RATES
SBP controls the Interest rate, which is based on several monetary policies.
Recently SBP has reduced the interest rate which stimulates the growth rate of banking
industry. Call money rates (borrowing & lending) were in the range of 1.50/3.47 per cent
as compared with 5.25/11.00 per cent on the corresponding date of last year
INFLATION RATES
Inflation represents a rise in general level of prices of goods and services over a
period of time. It leads to erosion in the purchasing power of money. Resultantly, each
unit of currency buys fewer goods and services
Different fiscal and monetary policies have curbed the Inflation rate. To fight against the
slowdown of the Economy, Government of Pakistan & SBP took many fiscal as well as
monetary actions. Clubbed with fiscal & monetary actions, decreasing commodity prices,
decreasing crude prices and lowering interest rate, we expect that Indian Economy could
again register a robust growth rate in the year 2009-10

Internship Report 102


The Bank of Punjab

SAVINGS AND ACCOUNTS


As stated earlier Pakistan continues to remain one of the high savings economies
among the emerging market economies. Gross Domestic Savings (GDS) of the Pakistan
economy constitutes savings of public, private corporate and household sectors. In the
recent period the high growth performance of the Pakistan economy is driven by rise in
savings
AGRICULTURE CREDIT
Agriculture has been the mainstay of our economy with 70% of our population
deriving their sustenance from it. In the recent past, the sector has recorded a growth of
about 4% per annum with substantial increase in plan allocations and capital formation in
the sector. The target for agriculture credit flow for the year 2009-10 is being set at
Rs.3,25,000 crore. To achieve this, I propose to continue the interest subvention scheme
for short term crop loans to farmers for loans upto Rs.3 lakh per farmer at the interest rate
of 7% per annum. For this year, the government shall pay an additional subvention of 1%
as an incentive to those farmers who repay their short term crop loans on schedule

SOCIO CULTUREAL FACTORS

Socio culture factors also affect the business. They show in which people behave
in country. Socio-cultural factors like taboos, customs, traditions, tastes, preferences,
buying and consumption habit of people, their language, beliefs and values affect the
business. Banking industry is also operates under this social environment and it is also
affect by this factor.
These factor are changing continuously people’s life style, their behavior, consumption
pattern etc. is changing and also creating opportunities and threat for banking industry.
There are some socio-culture factors that affect banking in India have been analyzed
below.

Internship Report 103


The Bank of Punjab

SHIFT TOWARDS NUCLEAR FAMILY


Attitude of people of Pakistan is changing. Now, younger generation wants to
remain separate from their parents after they get married. Joint families are breaking up.
There are many reasons behind that. But banking sector is positively affected by this
trend. A family need home consumer durables like freeze, washing machine, television,
bike, car, etc. so, they demand for these products and borrow from banks. Recently there
is boost in housing finance and vehicle loans. As they do not have money they go for
installments. So, banks satisfy nuclear families wants.
CHANGE IN LIFE STYLE
Life style of Pakistan is changing rapidly. They are demanding high class
products. They have become more advanced. People want everything car, mobile, etc..
what their fore father had dreamed for. Now teenagers also have mobile and vehicle.
Even middle class people also want to have well furnished home, television, mobile,
vehicle and this has opened opportunities for banking secter to tap this change. Every
thing is available so it has become easy to purchase anything if you do not have lump
sum.

POPULATION
Increase in population is one of the important factor, which affect the private
sector banks. Banks would open their branches after looking into the population
demographics of the area. Percentage of deposit in any branches of banks depends upon
the population demographic of that area. About 70% of population is below 35 years of
age. They are in the prime earning stage and this increase the earning of the banks.
Deposits showed a subdued growth during 2004-05.Income distributions also affects the
operations and overall business of private sector banks.
LITERACY RATE
Literacy rate in Pakistan is very low compared to developed countries. Illiterate
people hesitate to transact with banks. So, this impacts negatively on banks. But there is
positive side of this as well i.e. illiterate people trust more on banks to deposit their
money; they do not have market information. Opportunities in stocks or mutual funds.
So, they look bank as their sole and safe alternative

Internship Report 104


The Bank of Punjab

TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS
TECHNOLOGY IN BANKS
Technology plays a very important role in bank’s internal control mechanisms as
well as services offered by them. It has in fact given new dimensions to the banks as well
as services that they cater to and the banks are enthusiastically adopting new
technological innovations for devising new products and services.
ATM
The latest developments in terms of technology in computer and telecommunication have
encouraged the bankers to change the concept of branch banking to anywhere banking.
The use of ATM and Internet banking has allowed ‘anytime, anywhere banking’
facilities. Automatic voice recorders now answer simple queries, currency accounting
machines makes the job easier and self-service counters are now encouraged. Credit card
facility has encouraged an era of cashless society. Today MasterCard and Visa card are
the two most popular cards used world over. The banks have now started issuing
smartcards or debit cards to be used for making payments. These are also called as
electronic purse. Some of the banks have also started home banking through
telecommunication facilities and computer technology by using terminals installed at
customers home and they can make the balance inquiry, get the statement of accounts,
give instructions for fund transfers, etc.
IT SERVICES & MOBILE BANKING
Today banks are also using SMS and Internet as major tool of promotions and giving
great utility to its customers. For example SMS functions through simple text messages
sent from your mobile. The messages are then recognized by the bank to provide you
with the required information. All these technological changes have forced the bankers to
adopt customer-based approach instead of product-based approach. Technology
advancement has changed the face of traditional banking systems. Technology
advancement has offer 24X7 banking even giving faster and secured service.
CORE BANKING SOLUTIONS
It is the buzzword today and every bank is trying to adopt it is the centralize banking
platform through which a bank can control its entire operation the adoption of core
banking solution will help bank to roll out new product and services.

Comparative Financial Statement


Comparative financial statement present financial information for the current period and
one or more past periods. In comparative analysis the statements predict about the
movements and trends of the business with respect to past years, whether there is increase
in the business activities or decrease. It may also help to comments about the future
expectations of the ways in which the financial and operating performance will go.
There are two type of comparative financial statement analysis.

Horizontal Analysis
Comparison of two or more years’ financial statement is called Horizontal Analysis.
It shows the changes between years both in rupee and percentages form. So in this
way it facilitates the analyst to predict about the ways if the business in which it is
going. It emphasis the proportional relationship between the reporting periods, rather
than with in the reporting period.

In this report I shall use this type of comparative financial statement analysis to
analyze the performance of The Bank of Punjab.

Trend Percentage Analysis


Trend percentages state the several years’ financial data in terms of a base year. The base
years equals to 100% with all other stated as some percentage of this base year. In this
way it predict good and easy way information about the business activities. By simple
looking at these percentages one can see the ways in which the business in going on
whether the business is making performance or not.

RATIO ANALYSIS

The relationship of one item to another expressed in simple mathematical form is known
as a ratio. A single ratio in itself is meaningless because it does not furnish a complete
picture. A ratio becomes meaning full when compared with some standard. So we have
taken ratios and percentage of the BOP based in its record of the past financial and
operating performance. On the following pages, I make the analysis of the financial
statements of BOP by using related items for the last five years.

Profitability vs. Investment

Remarks.

The return on assets shows a increasing trend, which is good sign for the BOP.
Return on deposits is also not stable; in starting years it increases and then
decreases and knows again increase. This is due to an increase in deposits and
less increase in profit.
The ROE ratio of five years of BOP indicates that the profitability of the bank with
equity is increasing day by day. This looks to be very positive sign.

Internship Report 131


The Bank of Punjab

Profitability Ratios.

Remarks.

The net profit margin of five years indicates that the income of the BOP after
paying its non-productive expenses is increasing year by year, which is a very good sign
for the bank. As I see the operating profit of the bank shows a increasing trend in ratio.
This shows that the earning capacity of the bank is increasing year by year.

Internship Report 132


The Bank of Punjab

Earning Per Share

Remarks:
Earning of BOP shows the increasing trend. This shows that the earning capacity

of a single share is increasing and shareholders are earning increase every year. This is

very good sign for BOP. This ratio should be as high as possible because it has a great

importance for an investor to invest in the Bank of Punjab.

Regulatory Ratios:

Remarks.
Advances to deposits ratio of The Bank of Punjab shows that the portion
of loan in total deposit of the bank is not stable, 1st three year from 2005 to 2007 increase
then decrease. It means that the credit (advances) circulation of the bank has fallen from
36% to 28% during the last five years, which is a not good sign. And the cash to deposits
ratio is also decrease from 42% to 12%.

Internship Report 133


The Bank of Punjab

Capital adequacy Ratios:

Remarks:
This ratios is showing increasing trend, in 2009 it decreased. This means that deposit of

the banks are decreased in 2009 and assets are also decreased in 2009, which is not good

for the Bank of Punjab.

Suggestions & Recommendation

Survive in the Market


The bank should not relay on its present sources and facilities but also it should establish
new ways of acquiring, managing and sharing market information to survive in the
industry and to earn profits.
Computer Specialis
The bank should increase the computer specialist at branch level.
Customer Compliant Department
The bank should improve the services and remove the problems of customer by making a
vast customer complaint department.
Locker Facility
The bank should increase locker facility and decrease the charges of lockers.
Security Measurement
Bank has low security measurement in branches. Bank should increase the number of
guards and other technical security tools.
Improve and Update Website
The Bank should improve and keep the up to date information on web site.
Hire New Talent
Instead of preferring the old employees of the other banks, management should hire new
and well-educated talent. This will contribute to the long-term benefits of the bank.
Credit Policy
Credit policy should cover both the rural and as well as urban areas. Credit facilities
should be enhanced to small-scale businesses.
Bonus
Employees who perform extraordinary and achieve more than their targets should be

given bonus.

capital formation in the country. As it is exhibit from the data regarding the
bank’s financial performance as shows in the financial performance as shows in the
financial analysis, that bank is sharing major banking business of the country.
