In 1942 the chairman of Australasia Bank was Khawaja Bashir bux. Equity at the begging of this
bank was Rs. 0.12 million. And at the end of the first year the equity raised by .5 million. Initial
total assets at this time was the Rs. 0.572 million.
By the end of 30th June 1947 capital of the Australia bank increased to Rs 0.673 million and
deposits raised to Rs. 7.728 million. On 14th August, 1947 the Australasia Bank was only the
totally operational Muslim bank in Pakistan. At this time all Australasia branches in India were
closed down due to attack of rioters. And hence the bank faces a big loss of capital and deposits.
Luckily, very soon new branches were come into existence in different areas of Pakistan such as
in Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Karachi, and Sialkot, Sargodha etc In spite of very sensitive and
difficult condition; during 1947 to 1948 the Australasia bank earned a profit of Rs. 50,000.

lost 51 branches at the time of separation of East Pakistan.
Yet the development remain continue and it did well deposits and had 186 branches in 1973.
1974, the Board of Directors of Australasia Bank was dissolved and the bank was renamed as
Allied Bank. In the first year the profit is increased by 10 million, deposits rose by over 50

Process of Clearing (Inward / Outward):

34
VIRTUAL UNIVERSITY OF PAKISTAN
INTERNSHIP REPORT OF 2010

If the cheque receives or sends by one bank to the other bank then the process of clearing is start.
For example if account holder of ABL receives the cheque of other bank like City Bank, UBL etc,
and he submits it in ABL branch to be cashed. At the same time the clearing process starts.
Here the local cheques that are drawn on ABL are received on a counter along with paying slips
which should be properly and dully filled. Then counter folio putting stamps for cheques number
received for collection for ABL. And it is duly signed by officer.
These cheques are scrutinized and cheques for local clearing are separated from OBC. These are
then entered in clearing register and cheques for collection are entered in OBC register and
handed over the Bills Department for collection.
Clearing officer checks and verifies title of all the cheques, date, signature and then every
particulars of the cheque. Hence these, Cheques are scrutinized properly and paying slips are
separated from cheques. Cheques of each bank are sorted and arranged branch wise. and then
Debit and credit vouchers are made for clearance purpose. And these vouchers are attached with
every cheque after filling the amount, Cheque #, and Name of bank of that cheque that is going
to being cleared. And at the Top the Today date and Our Branch name (PAFABL) is written
by clearance officer. And then three stamps are affixed on the cheque these stamps are:
 Today Date stamp front of the cheque
 Crossing stamp (bank name stamp of clearing) on the front of the Cheque
 Payee account credit stamp on the back
Pass these cheques along with vouchers/advices, all the cheques are entered into the clearing
system of the bank. Then Print out of the clearing is taken and details are attached with the
cheques of each bank. Details of these banks are then entered into the clearing schedule
containing number of cheques presented and their total amount against the name of each bank.
Then total number of cheques presented to all banks and their total amount is written on the foot
of that schedule, which is tallied with the clearing register.

First clearing sent:


Next morning, these cheques along with voucher are delivered to the respective banks in clearing
house of NIFT between 9:00 to 9:30AM. In the same manner, other banks present their clearing
drawn on ABL. Total number of cheques and their amount delivered to other banks and received
from them are written on the Clearing House schedule branch for their payment. After proper
scrutiny of cheques, verification of signatures and confirmation of balance in the account, the
Officer Cash Department pays these cheques by canceling and posting them in the system.
Some important concepts should keep in mind while doing the job of clearing of cheque:

♦ Date: Cheques should not be post dated or out of date.


♦ Figures: Amount in words and figures should match.
♦ Signature: Drawers signature must be clear.
♦ Payee’s Name: Payee’s name should be written, and endorsement should be as per the
beneficiary of the cheques
♦ Intercity: Cheques must not be of other cities. Intercity clearing cheques for consumer
departments are not entertained
♦ There should be no over writing, every thing is written clearly.
Cheque Return:
Cheque can be returned and it cannot be passed due to these reasons:
 Fund insufficient/Insufficient balance
35
VIRTUAL UNIVERSITY OF PAKISTAN
INTERNSHIP REPORT OF 2010

 Mismatching figures
 Signature differ
 Filling incomplete
 Similar many other reasons may be.

If any cheque is not passed due to insufficient balance, mismatching figures, filling incomplete or
any other reason, Officer Cash Department returns the same cheques by attaching cheques return
memo containing reason for return. This cheque is entered into the cheques returned register and
bank charges are deducted according to the schedule of charges.
Second Clearing:
Second clearing in ABL is at 2:30PM to check the destiny of the cheques presented to other banks
in the morning. If any cheque is to return, that is delivered to the same bank in second clearing.
In the same manner, if any cheques presented by ABL Bank in first clearing are returned, they
receive it and once again give schedule of clearing figure to the Officer Clearing House NIFT
containing number of cheques and their amount delivered and received unpaid.

Intercity:
It is the same as clearing but the difference is that the branch transfer or receives the cheque etc to
or by the other city branch or banks. And this includes that branches that are of local station for
that bank (sender and receiver bank).

For ABL these are the local cities that’s used in intercity.
• Islamabad
• Karachi
• Pindi
• Peshawar
• Multan
Process of intercity Clearing:
Almost the intercity Process is the same as clearing with little bit difference. E.g. for Intercity
Clearing a stamp of intercity instead of clearing posted on face of bill, then amount, account
number and city name is entered in a separate register and deposit slip is attached in a specific
file. And a stamp is posted on back of bill. A separate slip is filled for every city given by NIFT.
In the specified envelope is used for every city given by NIFT with printed name of city.
One advice is made for him. Three copies are prepared for each advice. One advice goes to CSO
for record. One goes for cashier and one goes to the clearing department for entry in the
computer.
When we release the intercity/clearing then we will Debited the advice and cheque will credited.
And when we lodge the intercity/clearing then advice will be credited and cheque will be debited.

OBC (out ward bill for collection):


It is the same as clearing and intercity but the difference is that the branch transfer or receives the
cheque of the banks that are out of station.
36
VIRTUAL UNIVERSITY OF PAKISTAN
INTERNSHIP REPORT OF 2010

The out of station cities for the ABL are:


• Okara branch of askari bank
• MCB changa manga branch
• MCB bransh thata
• Ubl shadi wall branch gujrat
OBC COLLECTION PROCEDURE:

It is mention on the cheque that the person To Whom It May Concern can cash it from the certain
branch of the bank in favor of which it’s drawn. The customer presents the cheque to his branch,
which sends a document called “OBC” to the bank that has to make the payment. The clearing
department of the receiving bank follows a prescribed
Procedure and credits the amount to sending bank through a central account maintained by each
bank with SBP. ABL sends the cheque to its own branch if available for collection from the
payer’s banks otherwise the OBC is directly sent to other bank.
MAINTAINING REGISTER for OBC’S:

We have a register in which we have the serial no for OBC with other details like amount, date,
sending and receiving branches’ codes. Every OBC is entered in the register on daily basis. If
OBC is not cleared due to what ever fault, we take it back as a return but after that we call the
concerned person and we also write name of person.
OBC are of two types:
IBC or inter bank collection:
When the cheque received by the bank for clearing this is calls IBC.

OBC or outward bank collection:


When the cheque is send by Allied bank limited to the other bank for clearance this is OBC for
Allied bank limited.

Calling and sorting Department:

In this department the work of calling is done and then sorting is done. Calling is related with
customer dealing. Bankers call those persons who open the various accounts with ABL and
bankers confirm from those that they will open the account or not. The bankers call it’s trust
worthy and regular customers and telling them about the new products and services and tend
them to towards the purchases of new services. And also call the customers when the sensitive
issues are being deal.
For Example:
For example, MR. A is the customer of the ABL, and ABL has to allot the pin number of the
ATMs card of MR. A then the banker calls MR. A and get every information about its
account. After proper and complete verification the ABL will allot the pin number. If ABL
finds any kind of fraud then bank will never allot the number, and then start the verification
again.

37
VIRTUAL UNIVERSITY OF PAKISTAN
INTERNSHIP REPORT OF 2010

Calling also includes the process in which bankers tell the customer that their ATM’s card are
prepare please take your ATM’s cards from Banks. Thus calling is the process of giving
information to the customer particularly information about the new products and services.
Sorting:
“Sorting is process of arrangement”
Calling and sorting is basically related to the matching or teling of whole day work at the end
of the working day”
Process:
Sorting is the process of arrangements of account slips/cheque etc are arrange in the
increasing order. All vouchers are collected first, and then sort them according to the accounts
for example the current account voucher, PLS saving Account vouchers, staff members
vouchers etc they all are separate first and then all vouchers of each category are arrange
according to the increasing order of their account numbers.

Interpretation and Trend:
This ratios is indicates the Liquidity (ability of a bank to meet short tern obligation) of the
business by comparing the current assets to current liabilities. The higher current ratio indicates
the better liquid position.
As, the current ratio of 2008 and 2009 is become higher as compare to 2007 it’s a good sign of
liquidity it’s mean the bank become the more liquid, and more able to meet the short term
obligations yet the ratio of 2009 is little bit less as compare to 2008 but the difference is not so
larger it’s a small difference so, it’s not an alarming situation because yet the ratio is greater than
1, which is a good sign and standard current ration is 2:1.

This ratio depicts the relationship between advances and deposits and it reveals how productively
the deposits are being utilized. Here is an increase in loan to deposit ratio, from year 2007 to
2009, from 64% to 72%.
This condition is favorable as advances increases with increase in deposits. If deposits increase by
higher rate than an increase in advances then bank has to face difficulty, it’s mean that bank is not
utilizing it’s deposits very well.

,,..ANNEXES

VIRTUAL UNIVERSITY OF PAKISTAN
INTERNSHIP REPORT OF 2010

Swot analysis:
SWOT Analysis is the abbreviation of
S: Strength
W: Weakness
O: Opportunity
T: Threats
And Strength and weakness represent the internal environment of the organization
And weakness and Opportunity represent the external environment of the organization
Hence, SWOT analysis is the critical and complete but comprehensive study of the organization.
Strength of the ALLIED Bank LiIMITED and PAF branch:

 The First Muslim bank and that is established first time in the soil the of Pakistan is not
the other bank, it is the Allied Bank Limited. And hence it has earned a great reputation.
 Allied Bank has a well-engineered structure and a timely execution and hence having a
successful transaction.
 ABL financially a strong bank and having a tested and effective strategy that’s why the
ABL not effected by the financial crisis and bad condition of economy, and continuous
toward growth and getting competitive growth.
 Solid foundation as by PARCA long-term term rating of “AA” and short term rating of
“A1+”.
 It has a very large impressive network of branches i.e. 779 in over 300 cities and towns.
 It has local branched as well as international branches.
 Having the strength of more than 502 ATMs in more than 145 cities and towns.
 Brand name is the greatest strength of this bank.
 Salaries are very reasonable, so the employees are not financially fearful.
 The PAF ABL branch is situated in the Commercial Area which enhances the
strength of this branch and hence this branch increases and attracts the number of
customers and expends its volume.
 The branch has 2 telephone connection and one fax machine this increases connectivity
which makes communication easier with different branches.
 The branch is linked through an Online Network of Branches, it enables them to serve
customer in better way
 ABL has the large network of ATM and they expend their branches.

Weakness of the ALLIED Bank LiIMITED and PAF branch

 It is observed that employees have mostly sluggish and hard attitude towards the
customers.
 There is a high part of favoritism, and mostly employees are hiring on the basis of
nepotism and references.
 ATM and online facility is yet provided by branch but it’s functioning is not very
appropriate. Often the ATM machine and online system is not working and hence many a

90
VIRTUAL UNIVERSITY OF PAKISTAN
INTERNSHIP REPORT OF 2010

times the customers get disappointed by the services of the branch and they go another
bank for transferring the online transactions
 ABL has not yet providing the car financing and house financing, which is a very large
weakness.
 Instead of presence of technology many jobs are done manually, which can be done easily
by using the computerized system.
 There is lack of efficient and proper Research development activities which is very
essential for collecting the essential data which is used for future planning and strategy.
Such as;
• Macro Environmental data
• Micro environmental data
 The organizational members are not fully cooperative.
 There is a lack of commitment and professionalism on part of the employees. The staff
usually tries to avoid do full working and trying to do modest work (escape from
additional work) and they usually delay their work.
 Delays were observed because the prescribed procedures are not followed.
 The filing system is not up-to-date. Much time is wasted while searching for
even a week old data and documents.
 There is less emphasized on the long term relation with customers those have low
deposited (less protocol)
 Branch has less furniture than requirement, and less sitting arrangements.
 The job distribution is not proper.

Opportunity:

 ABL is not yet giving the facilities of car financing and house financing to their
customers. It is a big opportunity for ABL to expending it’s business at a more large scale
by starting the business of car and house financing.
 PAF branch has the deficiency of honest and hard work employees PAF branch can
increases it’s progress by availing the more technical, professional and hard work
employees.
 ABL bank is giving the facility of collection of utility bills and also giving the facilities of
giving the payments to the PAF servants which are very large number of servants, ABL
PAF branch can attract those customers to open their accounts and to depositing activities
etc. hence it is a big opportunity for the PAF branch for expending business.
 ATM and online facility is yet provided by branch but it’s functioning is not very
appropriate. Often the ATM machine and online system is not working and hence many a
times the customers get disappointed by the services of the branch and they go another
bank for transferring fund by online transactions etc. If they overcome these weaknesses
then they have and opportunity to attract and retain the large customers. As, there are
coming large numbers of customers daily for ATM and online transaction.
 The branch is located in a commercial area hence it’s location is the big opportunity for
the bank to attracting the customers at a large scale.
 The branch has the opportunity to availing the new schemes such as HAJJ SERVICES,
HUNDI and WESTERN UNION etc.

VIRTUAL UNIVERSITY OF PAKISTAN
INTERNSHIP REPORT OF 2010

 The bank has the facility of internet it is a big opportunity the bank can expand it self by
increasing it’s use in more appropriate way. The bank has a large network all over the
world it can cover the major market of the Pakistan if it will make it possible to fast
delivery of funds.

THREATS:
 The allied bank is one of the strong and leading banks so, it has many competitors. The
HBL is located in front of PAF branch that is a big threat for ABL PAF branch.
 Pakistan is facing a very critical situation it is suffering from continuous downfall of the
economy since last few years it is the biggest threat for all banks. If this situation will not
be stopped than it is a big threat for Pakistan’s banks for achieving the bank’s objectives.
 Dissatisfied customers is the one of the biggest threat to the PAF branch, As discussed
above (in opportunities) ATM and online services is yet provided by branch but it’s
functioning is not very appropriate. Often the ATM machine and online system is not
working and ATM machine some times is not filled by the funds from the main branch of
ABL, and hence many a times the customers get disappointed by the services of the
branch and they go another bank for getting the online transactions. If this draw back will
not be sort out early, the customers will terminate towards other bank such as towards its
neighbor bank HBL.
 Many private banks are providing the better competitive services than ABL that is the
very sensitive threat for ABL.
 ABL as compare to other top banks is yet not providing many services such as car
financing, house financing services and many other new services. Hence it can loose it’s
reputation

Conclusion:
Although the country is suffering from the financial crises, slow economic growth, and lack of
political stability, however, still the ABL continues to fulfill its commitment by contributing in a
structured manner, by focusing on Agriculture sector and SME, strengthening cooperate and
commercial relationships, product innovation, creativity , technological advancement, and
continuous focus on service quality. Due to its strong foundation and well-built strategy.
Customer is the focus of every thing for ABL and ABL is working tirelessly to enhance
relationship with customers by understanding them and then offering relevant products and
services all the times and ABL tirelessly continues to working very hard to strengthen the
relationship with customers and number of initiatives has been taken by ABL to strengthen its
overall function.

During three years analysis of ABL such as form 2007 to 2009, I observed that ABL has
impressive profit growth as form 2007 to 2009 its profit after tax rose by Rs. 4,076 million to Rs.
7,122 million. And it resulted in increase in increase in ROA and ROE by 1.42% to 1.81%, and
ROE by 23.545 to 30.50% by average.

Thus I have concluded that the ABL is a financially strong bank and having the long term rating
of “AA” and short term rating of “A1+ by pacra.and serving and continuously attracting the large
number of customers by offering them the innovative, reliable and better competitive products
and services and capture a great part of the market in the country by having a large number of
depositors and customer. PAF base also a very progressive branch and it expanding it’s business
very rapidly and serve the customers very efficiently from 36 years.

Recommendations:
During my internship training of 6 weeks in ABL PAF branch, I have analyzed some problem in
the Bank. Keeping in view those problems followings are my recommendations:

Change in Behavior of employees:


The customers are the very important and essential part of the business they are the real strength
of the business and having the worth of back bone for the business so, they should be behaved,
benevolence, and served in a better way. So, I will recommend for the P.A.F branch ABL that
they should be stopped the carelessness and the sluggish behavior towards the customers and they
should realize that customer is the focus of every thing.
Elimination of favoritism:
There is a great part of favoritism it should be eliminated immediately and enhance the
performance by benevolent the opportunities to the fresh, well educated and able people.
Sitting Arrangement:
There is no proper sitting arrangement; the branch should be focus on proper sitting arrangement
and should furnish the branch hence the branch will be able to manage customers in a well
manner.
Job Training Programs
The bank should place emphasis to held an arrange the effective training and development
programs for its new as well as existing employees this will definitely increase their performance
and efficiency level
Equalize the load of work:
I have found the inequality of work division in the Branch I will recommend that all the
departments should be given the equal load of work; it will result in high performance and create
high outcome and it also create a friendly environment in the bank.
Team based Management:
The higher authorities should form the team based management rather than centralized
management it will enhance the management skills and decision making power of the employees
and elevating the morale of the employee and this would also be a factor of motivation for all
employees and they will be involved in all banking operations and overall effectiveness of the
bank will be boost.
Expansion in business:
The ABL should strongly focus on providing new services to meet its customer’s expectation and
for expansion financing, etc.. e.g. the ABL should focus on the business of personal loaning such
as House financing, car
