Bank is derived form Bancus or Banque it is Italian word. History of Banking is traced to 2000 B.C in Greece. Priests and goldsmiths acted as financial agents by keeping money and valuables of people in temples in strong safes. Thus the first stage in the development of modern banking thus was accepting of deposits of cash from those who had surplus money with them.

Banking in Pakistan:
At the time of independence there were practically no industries and resources so it was very difficult of Pakistan to run its own banking system immediately. There were 487 offices of scheduled banks in the territories now constituting Pakistan. Therefore in accordance with the provision of India independence Act of 1947, and expert committee was appointed to study the issue. The committee recommended that the Reserve bank of India should continue to function in Pakistan until 30th September 1948. It was also stipulated that Pakistan would take over the management of public debt and exchange control Reserve bank of India on 1st April 1948. Then Indian notes would continue to be legal ender in Pakistan till 30th September1948. By 30th June 1948, the number of offices of scheduled banks in Pakistan decline from 487 to 195. In order to establish a full-fledged control bank the Governor General of Pakistan Quaid-E-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, inaugurated the state bank of Pakistan on July1st, 1948.

Feature of credit department


It provides loans to different organizations, and against these loans kept securities, Proper judgment of these securities is also their duty. Proper judgment of securities is the most crucial event in the process of lending. Because in the case of default the securities are the only compensation to the bank. Default mostly is the result of improper judgment. In the process of judgment they follow the following principles:

1. SAFETY character capacity capital 2. LIQUIDTY 3. DISPERSAL 4. REMUNERATION


68

Bank Alfalah Limited

5. SUITABILITY
Now I will discuss these principles in brief

(1)SAFETY
As the funds with BAL are mainly comprised of money borrowed from depositors. They deposited their funds because they have trust and confident on them. Therefore they are very much careful while lending, so that the money goes in safe hands where the risk of loss does not exist. The elements of character, capacity and capital help them in arriving at a conclusion regarding the safety of advances.

1. 1 CHARACTER
This is the management ability factor that tells how successful business has been in the past and what is its future. This factor indicates whether borrower will be able to pay the interest and principle amount borrowed through the functions of the business or not.

1.2

CAPACITY

This is the management ability factor that tells how successful business has been in the past and what is its future. This factor indicates whether borrower will be able to pay the interest and principle amount borrowed through the functions of the business or not.

1.3 CAPITAL

69

Bank Alfalah Limited

This is the monetary base, because the money invested by the borrower himself represents his faith in the business and its future. BAL provide short term capital for commerce and industry, yet some borrowers insist that bank provide them most of the capital required. So the bank while lending must consider the amount requested for is reasonable in relation to borrowers own resources or investment.

2) LIQUIDITY
It means the ability of recovering the advances in emergency, because all money borrowed is repayable in lump sum on demand. The BAL has to ensure that the funds being lent are not blocked for an undue logon period of tie, and borrower is in such a position to pay the entire amount outstanding against them on a short notice

3) DISPERSAL
The dispersal of the amount of the advances should be broadly based so that a larger number of borrowing customers may benefited from the bankers funds. It is also restricted, by the SBP, a bank cannot lend more than 20% of its capital to one party. Dispersal of loan is very necessary from the point of security as well, because it reduces the risk of recovery when something goes wrong in one sector or in one field. For

70

Bank Alfalah Limited

BAL security is the main concern, so they act on this principle and follow it.

4) REMUNERATION
The BAL needs sufficient earning to meet the following obligations. Interest payable to the money deposited with him. Salaries and fringe benefits payable to the staff members. Overhead expenses and depreciation and maintenance of the fixed assets of the bank. An adequate sum to meet possible losses. Provision for reserve fund to meet unforeseen contingencies. Profit to be remitted to head office by the operations in Pakistan. A major portion of BAL earnings comes from the interest charged on the money borrowed by the customers. In order to meet his above mentioned expenses BAL runs a great risk; and he has to think twice that the advances should not become bad or doubtful and should not lent to borrower with whom the remuneration may not be much, but also equally risky.

5) SUITABILITY
It means that advances should be allowed not only to the carefully selected and suitable borrowers; but also in keeping with the overall national development plans chalked out by the authorities concerned.

71

Bank Alfalah Limited

Before accommodating a borrower BAL has to ensure the lending is for a purpose in conformity with the current national credit policy laid down by the SBP. Credit control is very efficiently exercised in Pakistan by the SBP, so BAL should never ignore any of the restrictions issued by it. Credit facilities are extended by the BAL, to the following borrowing parties:

1. COMPANY 2. PARTNERSHIP 3. INDIVIDUALS 4. GOVERNMENT


While lending to any of these parties the credit officer of BAL has to check the following things.

1. COMPANY:
Where a company is a borrower the credit officer must ask and keep on record following information: The certificate of incorporation The memorandum and articles of association The certificate of commencement of business and The last annual report containing accounts and balance sheet, to ensure that the company is legally qualified to do business.
72

Bank Alfalah Limited

To ensure that the company is currently existing and is in good standing. Credit officer should check with the registrar of joint stock companies, and request the borrower to furnish certified List of shareholders (current) List of directors With public limited company verify its existence and standing on the stock Exchange. It is important that the borrowing company and its directors should have requisite authorization and power to borrow which should be reflected in the memorandum and article of association Also see corporate resolution to borrow.

2. PARTNERSHIP
Where the borrower is a partnership, the credit officer must ask to see, following documents; Original partnership agreement/deed and the original certificate of registration which will contain the name of the partners and the date of their joining the partnership. An individual financial statement from each partner along these, also obtain the following document: normal loan documents signed by all partners
73

Bank Alfalah Limited

continuing guarantee duly signed by all partners Resolution/authorization to borrow and execute loan documents, signed by all partners. A letter signed by all partners, requesting the bank to extend credit facilities to the firm Certified copy of the partnership deed and certification of registration.

3. INDIVIDUAL
Lending to an individual the credit officer must ask him to see. His financial statements for, at least the previous three years. A continuing guarantee. The decision of extending credit to an individual borrower is necessarily a decision for the officer concerned based on the reputation and credit standing as a client. Depending on the amount advanced, the loan should be secured by a pledge, hypothecation, or mortgage.

4.

GOVERNMENT
Where the government is a borrower, the credit officer must ensure

that the documents of indebtedness are signed by an officer of the government who is duly authorized in writing and or by the rules of business. Legal counsels opinion should be taken in these cases.

b) The portion of investment in total assets is 37.89% in 2006 and

28.4% in 2005. this is not much favorable trend because management should advance more and invest less.

43.45% as compare to 2005 which was 47.71%.
