PREFACE :
In Masters of Business Administration, Internship program is important because it gives the
students an opportunity to have experience of practical field. Unless the student experiences the
uniqueness of practical work his knowledge of what he study in theoretical courses remains
incomplete. The very important point in an Internship Program is that the student spends his
time in a true way and spirit to learn practical orientation of theoretical study framework.
This internship report is on my six weeks practical training at Habib Bank Limited Saadat Pur
Branch District Gujrat. In this internship report I have tried to give details about Habib Bank
limited, working and function of different departments.

Chapter 2
Overview of Organization:
2.1History of HBL:
Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Pakistan's founding father, realized the importance of financial intermediation
while he was campaigning for the creation of a separate homeland for the Muslims of India. He
persuaded the Habib family to establish a commercial bank that could serve the Indian
Muslim community. His initiative resulted in the creation of Habib Bank in 1941, with HO
in Bombay (now Mumbai), and fixed capital of 25,000 rupees. The bank played an important role in
mobilizing funds from the Muslim community to finance the All-India Muslim League's campaign for
the establishment of Pakistan. Habib Bank also played an important role in channeling relief funds to
Muslims hurt in the communal riots and violence that preceded the departure of the British from India.
Habib Bank Limited was established in Bombay in 1941 by the sons of Habib Ismail. The bank had over
30 branches operating in India at the time of partition. Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah reposed
confidence in the bank by opening his personal account. On the creation of Pakistan in 1947, and
following the advice of the Quaid-e-Azam, Habib Family shifted all of its businesses including Habib
Bank to Pakistan. The bank played a vital role in meeting the financial and banking needs of Pakistan. It
continued to record tremendous growth and progress and emerged as the leading private-sector
commercial bank in Pakistan when it was taken over by the Government of Pakistan along with all other
Pakistani banks on January 1, 1974.
After the formation of Pakistan in 1947, Habib Bank moved its headquarters to Karachi. This gave
Karachi its first commercial bank of the newly formed Pakistan. The Habib family would own and
manage the bank until the Pakistan government nationalized it on 1 January 1974.
In the 1950s, the HBL started its international expansion. In 1951 it opened the first of what would
become three branches in Sri Lanka. The next year HBL established Habib Bank (Overseas). Then in
1956 HBL opened the first of five branches in Kenya.
1961 HBL opened the first of what would become 6 branches in the UK.
1964 HBL opened the first of 4 branches in Mauritius and a branch in Beirut.
1969 HBL opened the first of 3 branches and an OBU in Bahrain. However, HBLs branch in
Aden was nationalized.
1972 HBL opened the first of 11 branches in Oman. HBL constructed Habib Bank Plaza in
Karachi to commemorate the banks 25th Anniversary.
1974 The government of Pakistan nationalized HBL and HBL merged with Habib Bank
(Overseas).
1975 HBL opened a branch in Belgium. HBL also merged with Standard Bank, a Pakistani
bank.
1976 HBL opened a branch in the Seychelles, the first of two branches in Bangladesh, and a
branch in the Maldives.
1981 HBL established Nigeria Habib Bank with 40% ownership. HBL also opened a
representative office in Teheran.
1983 HBL opened branch in the Karachi EPZ and a branch in Istanbul.
1984 HBL established Habib American Bank in New York with a branch each
in Manhattan and Queens, and a US International Banking Facility. HBL also opened a branch
in California.
1991 The Habib Group established a separate private bank, the Bank AL Habib, after private
banking was re-established in Pakistan. HBL opened a branch in the Fiji Islands, and took over
the branches in Pakistan of failed bank, BCCI.
1990s HBL established Habib Finance (Australia), and Habib Finance International Limited,
Hong Kong.
On 13 June 2002, Pakistan's Privatization Commission announced that the Government of Pakistan
would grant the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development (AKFED), a subsidiary of the Aga Khan
Development Network, majority ownership of HBL against an AKFED's investment in the bank.
During 2002, HBL's UK operation came close to being shut down due to regulatory issues with the
Financial Services Authority. The issue was resolved by converting the operations to a subsidiary. Then
Habib Bank Limited and Allied Bank of Pakistan merged their operations (Habib contributed its 6
branches and Allied its 4), into a new bank, called Habib-Allied International Bank, in which Habib
Bank has a 90.5% shareholding, while Allied Bank has 9.5%. Simultaneously with the transfer of
business to the new bank, both Allied and Habib Bank closed down all independent operations in the
UK.
In 2003, HBL received permission to open a branch in Afghanistan.
On 29 December 2003, Government of Pakistan granted AKFED rights to 51% of the shareholding in
the bank against an investment of PKR 22.409 billion (USD 389 million). The next year, on 26
February, the government of Pakistan handed over management control of Habib Bank to AKFED. The
Board of Directors was reconstituted to have four AKFED nominees, including the Chairman and the
President/CEO and three Government of Pakistan nominees. The bank's owners now comprise the Aga
Khan Fund for Economic Development (51%), Government of Pakistan (42.5%), and the general public
(7.5%).
Habib Bank has long been scrutinized by intelligence officials monitoring terrorist money flows. On 18
July 2007, Mariane Pearl, the widow of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, filed a lawsuit against
Habib Bank Ltd over the 2002 abduction, torture and murder of her husband. The pending lawsuit
alleges the bank and its subsidiaries knowingly conducted financial transactions and provided account
services on behalf of Al Akhtar Trust, a Pakistani-based charity trust. Al Akhtar Trusts accounts have
been used to provide financial support to terrorists. However, HBL claims to have frozen Al Akhtar
Trusts accounts several years before Daniel Pearls abduction.
On 24 October 2007, Pearl's lawsuit against HBL was formally dropped. Lawyers for Mariane Pearl
noted that Habib Bank Limited and the other defendants in the case had not answered the lawsuit filed in
July (although Habib Bank Limited had denied ever supporting terrorism), but they otherwise did not
explain their reason for dropping the action.
The U.S. Federal Reserve Board and the New York State Banking Department criticized Habib Bank
Limited for failing to address deficiencies in its compliance with U.S. anti-money laundering laws. After
the U.S. Federal Reserve Board threatened formal charges, though none were filed, Habib Bank Limited
agreed to strengthen the bank's compliance. More specifically, the Fed ordered HBL to strengthen its
transaction monitoring systems and the filing of "suspicious activity reports" on transactions that do not
fit the routine business patterns of the bank's customer base.
The primary function of HBL is to accept and receive surplus money from the people, which they
willingly deposit with the Bank. Like all other Banks, HBL also take incitation to attract as much
depositors as it can. They offer different deposit schemes to its customers, which includes the following
types. These schemes are as follows.
Current Deposits:
This type of account is often maintained by the business. Current deposits are those deposits on which
Bank offers no interest but it allows the account holders to withdraw their money at any time they want
without giving any prior notice to the community, which requires large sums of money very often for
their business transaction.
Fixed deposits:
Fixed deposits are those which can be withdrawn only after the maturity period. In this type of deposits
the Bank allows high rates of interest depending on the time period of deposits. The shorter the period of
deposits, the less will be the interest and vice versa.
Demand Finances:
Demand finances are those finances which are given to the borrowers for specified period and can be
called back without any prior notice. It is a single transaction finance. It can be long term, medium term
and short term. Mark up is also charge. Here the amount can be withdrawn once at the time of
disbursement.
Running Finance:
HBL provides these finances against the security of current assets like shares, bond, cash crops like
cotton and other cashable commodities. The borrowers account is opened with the Bank with the
amount of the total loan provided or allowed to the borrower. The borrower is allowed to withdraw any
amount from his account within the specified limit and interest is charged only on the amount actually
withdrawn.
Over Draft:
This type of facility is usually given to very loyal clients. This allows them to withdraw over and above
the amount held by them in their account, and interest is charged only on the amount, which is
withdrawn in excess of the amount actually held in their account.

2.10 Competitors:
2.10.1 Local Private Banks in Pakistan:
Bank Al Habib
MCB Bank
Citibank NA
HSBC
Emirates Bank
Doha Bank
However Habib Bank feels that its major competitors are as follows:
MCB Bank
Citibank
As far as UBL is concerned, Habib Bank feels that it is a competitor because UBL itself is a sister HBL
of Habib Bank as the Abu Dhabi Group has stake in UBL and so there is always a comparison between
them.
Furthermore, Askari Bank is a competitor because of the fact that the product and services that it offers
is fairly similar to that of Habib Bank and its markup rates are similar as well. MCB, after being
privatized has also introduced a wide variety of services and with its large number of account holders, it
is also a big competitor.
Citibank is a foreign bank that has been established in Pakistan for a long period of time and has
introduced a number of first class services and as Habib Bank is also competing in the services industry,
it needs to benchmark its product and services to a bank with a stature to that of Citibank
At present the Bank operates through one central and 23 Regional Offices and 1500 branches inside and
112 branches in 25 different countries of the world in 5 different subcontinent.. The president and
Executives Committee look after the affairs of the Bank. Each Regional Head Quarter is headed by a
Chief Executive and assisted by General Manager Operations and General Manager Support Services.
The Regional Head Quarter controls the branches in their area. Overseas operations consist of 65 main
branches, two affiliates, two representative offices and two subsidiaries. President, from Head Office at
Karachi controls the officers of the Bank with the help of the senior management. Functional
responsibilities of the Banks are broken into seven groups known as 1) International Operations Group2)
Corporate Banking and Treasury Investment Group3) Retail Banking and Operation Group Finance,
Audit and Administration Group5) Assets Remedial Management Group6) Credit Policy
Group7)Corporate Bank, Financial Institutions and Project Finance Group. In addition to the overall
controlling authority, president also manages the International Operations Group individually. While the
Senior Executive Vice Presidents supervise rest of the functional groups. Each Senior Executive Vice
President is individually responsible for the group which is assigned to him. At the level of provinces
there are Regional Head Quarters headed by Regional Chief Executives (RCE). Each RCE is assisted by
GM operations and GM Support Services. Branches are also controlled by the RCEs. Circle Offices of
the past times have been removed to reduce Managerial Layers, which were working under the control
of Zonal Offices. This happened as a result of policy of beginning new changes in the organizational
structure.

includes the following:
Current Deposits
PLS Saving Deposits

3.3.4)Accounts Department:
Accounts Department of the bank can be considered the most important department. This department is
basically concerned with processes and activities of recovering, sorting, summarizing and reporting data
resulting from the whole day transactions of all the departments. Actually the process of this activity
starts from the preparation of all the required vouchers by different related departments. When these
vouchers are prepared, these are posted into respective computer terminals by the relevant departments.
Before merging, a batch list is printed out by Computer Department and duly checked by the respective
departments. After this, merging stage comes, after which a proof list is printed out. This is the stage,
where Accounts Department starts performing its function. Proof list is checked by the Accounts
Department. The account department prepare following vouchers and reports

3.3.5)Remittance Department:
All those money, thats receive as foreign currency from other countries that is known as western union
or E-Remittances. Remittances received through cash by CNIC # and through account. Remittances
through banking channels save time, costs less and eliminate the risks involved in physical
transportation of money from one place to another.
This Department also deals with the followings:

Telegraphic Transfer
Pay Slip
Call Deposit Receipt
Letter of Credit
Travelers Cheque
3.3.6)Cash Department:
All physical movement of cash in the bank is made through the cash department. As bank is borrowing
and lending institution, therefore cash is the top most priority of Bank. Another aspect is that cash
department is for the security purpose, security in a sense that there should be no embezzlement of funds
or in money leaded to bank by any party or person. The efficiency of bank is also related to this
department the more efficient the bank is the stronger and busy is the cash department.
Cash department owes its important to the fact that it is a major point of contract between the bank and
the customer, the banks most valued relationships. This department is the showcase of the bank and
conveys the first impressions about the banks commitment to professionalism in its systems and
procedures and to courteous and efficient customer service. Normally cash department performs
following functions

Chapter No.4
4.1. Introduction of Branch:
The branch where I complete my internship is Habib Bank Limited at Saadat Pur Branch. This
branch has not all the departments of HBL, some most important departments are maintaining
by this branch i.e. Account Department, Credited Department, Account opening Department,
Western union, foreign remittance, etc.
Branch Code Number
1173
0544751130
HBL Saadat Pur Branch 1173 has a tight competition among the different banks. Bank policy is
efficiently work done in order to satisfy the customer, providing better services to them as
compare to other banks and also to maintain the profits of the branch. This Branch of HBL does
not takes any type of risk.
Computer system:
The system has not totally shifted on computer. Manual procedure is still there hence computer
facility is not fully availed. There should be a system at each counter for quick processing.
Customer problem:
People have to wait for en-cashing their cheques for about 10-20 minutes, which is not good for
the reputation of bank; the delay is due to manual work. Therefore I suggest that computers and
other electronic machines should be installed in bank so that time could be saved.
Deficiency in management:
I felt at some places the HBL Saadat Pur Branch need to have more employees, because a lot of
work is to be done by a single employee that will result in work overload and employee might
not perform his/her job with full devotion.
Physical Facilities:
Facilities like rooms are wider in size, there is no ventilation, furniture and separate room
facilities for officers are available in HBL Sadat Pur Branch (1173).
Performances:
Performances of the employees are checked on the basis of customer stratification and also in
terms of quality through number of accounts and budgets achieved by the employees.
