Chapter No 1(Banking sector)

1.1 Introduction of Banking Sector:
Banking sector owes a pivotal importance in the economy of any country through its vibrant
functions. A bank is a financial institution that offers the widest range of financial services.
These financial institutions play a vital role throughout the world’s economic system.
The banking structure of Pakistan consists of State Bank of Pakistan, Commercial Banks,
Exchange Banks, Cooperative Banks, Saving Banks and Specialized Credit Institution. “Banking
means the accepting of money from public, in shape of deposits for the purpose of lending or
investment, repayable on demand or otherwise, and withdrawal by cheques, drafts, and pay
order”.
The Pakistani banking sector mounted an overall recovery drive, increasing its asset base by
approximately 8% during the year. However, credit and business conditions are likely to remain
fragile, driven by the government's weak fiscal position and the subdued investment climate.
Furthermore, downside risks may further weigh on the banks' operating environment over the
period.
However, despite the material risks, no further major deterioration in asset quality is expected
over the coming period. NPLs are also expected to have peaked at around 16% of total lending
by year-end 2011, from 15.3% at end-June 2011. Short-term economic growth, lower interest
rates and de-risking of the banks' loan book will drive stabilization in asset-quality metrics.
Recognizing the system's structural challenges the Bank as a policy opted for and benefited from
sound funding profiles and low-cost current and savings account deposits, which increased to
67% of total deposits or 56% of total liabilities at end-June 2011. The Bank’s reliance on market
and foreign funding also remained minimal. The year 2011 remained fraught with challenges for
Pakistan, the core issues which affected Pakistan economy and were also identified in the Economic
Survey issued by the Government included persistent and high inflation, low growth, lesser in revenue
collection compared to budget figure leading to a high fiscal deficit which continues to add to the overall
debt along with a fall in the investments. All these factors, combined with the global economic slowdown
and rise in global fuel prices have further complicated the issues and economic scenario.
14
The economic development of Pakistan remained under pressure due to the deterioration of
macroeconomic factors. Industrial production and creation of new capacity was negatively
impacted by the almost continuous energy crisis throughout the year and the insistent circular
debt issue remained an area of concern. The decline in foreign direct investments because of
unsafe security situation, along with high inflation and a mounting fiscal deficit remain threats to
the macroeconomic stability of the country.
To provide relief to the people and businesses, the SBP reduced the discount rate to around 12%
per annum in line with reduction of inflation rate during the year. During the period agriculture
sector posted real growth of 1.2% and after suffering consecutive quarterly deficits, industrial
production surged to grow at a robust pace in the last quarter of the year. Remittance inflows to
Pakistan also rose by an estimated 25 % in 2011 over and above 2010 inflows and touched
almost US $ 12 billion constituting almost 4.8% of Pakistan’s GDP.

The guideline of nationalization of banks is to stream line the operation of business banks such
that it might be conductive to the development activities in process in the country. Since the
business banks were possessed controlled by enormous business gatherings of the nation it was

instrumental to inflationary weight. Be that as it may, the considerations behind nationalization
are
To frame consistency in the strategy of the business banks so they may serve the best national
premium. To make the operation of business banks profoundly delicate and receptive to the
approach of the administration connection to money related matters.

1.22 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
owner. Borrowing funds from different sources has become an essential feature of today business
enterprise. But in case of an entire banking system is based on it. The borrowed capital of bank is
much greater than their own capital. Banks borrowing is mostly in the form of the 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 these are lent out the greater of the profit
margin of the bank. Furthermore, the larger the deposits 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 safe keeping purpose only, but the accept deposits as debts. When banks
receive deposits from customer, the relationship of debtor and creditor is established where by
the customer become the creditor and the bank become the debtor. When the bank receives
amount of deposit as a debtor, it becomes the owner of it. It may use it as deems appropriate. But
there is an implicit agreement that the amount owned would be paid back to the depositor after a
specified period.
 Nature of Deposit:
 Current or Demand Deposits
 Saving Deposit
 Short Notice Term Deposits
 Call Deposits
 Fixed or Term Deposits
33
 Current Deposit
Current deposits are those which are payable to bank whenever demand by the customer. Bank
does not 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 determined future time date.
 Saving Deposit
This type of accounts is one step towards the Islamiczation of banking system in Pakistan.
These 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 with the sum of Rs.1000 or above. Profit is paid on both types of the PLS
accounts on half yearly basis. Under PLS saving account the depositors undertake 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
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 facilities the depositor to
withdraw his amount with interest of the deposited period.
34
 Call Deposit
Call deposits are the sorts of deposits, which are deposited with the banker against any tender.
This is without interest deposit. Sometimes it may provide interest if depositor has agreed to
keep this amount with the bank for some fixed period.
 Term Deposit Receipts
This type of deposits is same as SNTD. The difference is that SNTD is for short period of time
(7-30 days) while TDR is for long period of time (1 month up to 5 year).
1.23 Reserves at State Bank:
Deposit held by bank at SBP serves as check clearing and collection balances. Rather than
physically transferring funds between banks, check clearing and collection can be done by
simply debiting or crediting a bank’s account at SBP.

CHAPTER NO 2 (DEPARTMENTS)
2.1 INTRODUCTION OF DEPARTMENTS

ACCOUNT OPENING DEPARTMENT
 Account Opening Procedure:

The opening of accounts may contain following procedure which are as follow,
 The Account Opening Form:
When a client comes to the bank, and makes a request for opening of an A/C. The officer first
gave him a prescribed application form.
 Completion of the Form:
The name, occupation, and complete address of the person opening the account are written in the
columns provided in the form. One signature of the person is taken on the face of the form and
one is taken on the backside. These signatures should be usual signatures and he would operate
the account with them in future.
 Specimen Signature Card:
The signatures of the client are obtained on a specimen Signature card. These cards are obtained
in duplicate with two signatures on each card from the customer. Every time a cheque is received
for a payment from the client, the signature on the cheques are verified by comparing them with
the S.S. Card.
 Issuance of Account Number:
When all the formalities are completed then the final approval of account has to be taken from
the Branch Manager. After obtaining approval of the branch manager an account number is
allotted to the customer and all the information is entered into the computer. Then that account
number is printed on the Cheque Book, S. S. cards and account opening form.
 Issuance of a Cheque Book:
After opening an A/C with the bank, the A/C holder once again makes a request in the name of
bank for the issuance of a cheques book. The A/C holder mentions title of A/C, A/C number,
36
sign it properly and mentions the no of leaves he requires. Normally Bank of Punjab issues a
cheques book having at least 25 leaves. Every cheques book also contains one leaf that is used
for another issue of a cheques book.
 Entry of Cheque Book:

Before issuance of a cheques book, the employee performs certain functions. They include:
 Stamping every leaf if the account is photo account
 Enters it in the Cheque book issue register
 After entry in the manual register, and in the system the employee issues the cheque book
to the A/C holder after his/her signature on the register.
 Recording in Computer:
After opening of account, all information regarding the account is entered into the computer.
Currently, a program named hplus is being used for this purpose. Record of all the transactions
regarding the account of a customer is kept updated in the computer.
 Account Closing Procedure:
The client who wishes to close an account first has to give an application, duly signed on the pre-
printed application of the bank. The client has to attach this application with the liability form.
The client can also give an application on a plain paper, but correct signatures are very
necessary. Then it has to be made sure that if the account to be closed is a saving or Foreign
Currency Account then the account balance before closing should be zero. In case of these types
of accounts the bank does not take any closing charges. If a client wishes to close a current
account then the bank charges Rs.150, so at the time of closing the balance should be Rs.150.
Along with the application to close the account client’s Cheque book is also received from him
and then it is destroyed in order to prevent any misuse in the future. A liability form is filled and
sent to the Trade Finance Department and Credit Department in order to check that the customer
does not owe the bank a single penny in any regard. A debit voucher and a credit voucher are
also attached to the liability form.
When both of these departments approve that the customer does not owe any money to the bank
and the form is returned to the account opening department then the original account opening
37
form pasted in the ledger when the account was opened is marked ‘account closed’ along with
the date on which it is so marked. One thing has to be taken into immediate consideration that
the account number allotted to the client (who has closed his account), after closure of the
account becomes useless and is not allotted to anyone in the future.
After approval of the liability form, it is sent to either the Foreign Currency Accounts
Departments or the Cash Department, as the case may be so that the officer who scanned it in the
first place could return the specimen signature card to the account-opening department.
Once the S. S. Card is received back from the concerned official then the liability form, the
client’s application along with the specimen signature card is pasted in the ledger right alongside
the original account opening form. The form has to be pasted with the original account opening
form even if the account was opened a decade ago. In the computer as well all the entries and
records related to that particular account are permanently deleted by using the ‘close account’
option.
 Captured ATM Cards:
ATM cards when captured in ATM of Bank of Punjab are returned to the concerned customer on
verification. In both cases, either the customer belongs to Bank of Punjab or any other bank,
CNIC copy is demanded from customer for bank record, CSO fills the ATM captured card form
and customer signs that form in presence of CSO. For the record purpose, ATM cards’ copy is
also kept with bank.

One of the basic economic functions of banks is to receive deposits and to honor cheques drawn
upon them. So, cheques are a most commonly used instrument for making payments by account
holders.
Now the question arises that how these cheques& other negotiable instruments drawn on one
bank are deposited in other banks and money is transferred from one bank to another. Clearing
House has provided this facility. Clearing house facilitates different banks to get their cheques
drawn upon other banks to be cleared.
Cheques lodged in clearing constitute two types of clearing
 Outward Clearing
 Inward Clearing

39
 Collection (OBC):
When cheques and other negotiable instruments drawn upon other banks outside the city are
presented in Bank of Punjab, to deposit in payee’s accounts, then instead of clearing, these
instruments are lodged in collection and constitute “Outward Bills for Collection” OBC.
Cheques of cities, where Bank of Punjab branch exists (e.g. Islamabad, Faisalabad etc.) are sent
to that branch where these cheques are lodged in is outward clearing.
2.4 Remittance Department:

Remittance department transfers funds from one branch of bank to another branch of same bank.
This is an important service which bank provides to its customers.

Bank Draft is an order to pay money drawn by one office of a bank upon another office of same
bank outside the city for sum of money payable to order on demand. In The Bank of Punjab, DD
is used to transfer of funds from one branch of bank to another branch of same bank.

 Name of the parties involved
 Date
 Amount to be sent
 Account number (if DD is crossed)
40
2)A credit voucher is filled in order to get the excise duty and exchange commission.
3)The sender deposits the total amount of the two vouchers i.e. the debit and credit vouchers.
4)Then the cashier sends the cash receipt voucher to the accounts department and the account
records the amount paid in his cash scroll.
5)Accountant gives the DD leaf along with the DD voucher to his assistant who records the
sender’s name, amount and receiver’s name. After writing all the information in the DD register
he gives it to the officer along with the DD for authentication
6)After authentication the DD is handed over to the sender and bank sends the advice to the concerned
branch. So when the party presents the DD in the concerned branch its payment could be made.

4)Payee The person who is entitled to receive the amount after presenting the demand draftin the
drawer branch
 Payment Order:
Payment Order is an order instrument payable to a certain person which is issued by a branch
and drawn on a same branch. In payment order, the drawer and drawee is one and the same
branch. In short, payment order is used to transfer of funds in same city from one office of bank
to another office of same bank.
 PROCEDURE
The procedure of a pay order varies with the nature of the purpose. If the work is of huge
amount then first the manager writes a letter to the Zonal Chief in order to get sanction of
the work. Then the advertisement of the work is given in the newspaper in order to invite
the contractors. But if the work is small the branch manager has discretionary power to
41
select the party whose rate is lowest. After finishing the work the contractor submits the
bill of work on his stamp pad. Then the bank issues a pay order, against the pay order the
contactor gets the amount from the issuing branch.
 Mail Transfer:
Under such method, transfer of funds is made through mail. Under such transfer, one office of
bank sends advice to another office of same bank for payment. Such advice is called IBCA
(INTER BRANCH CREDIT ADVICE).
 Telegraphic Transfer:
It deals with transfer of funds by telephone.

It is modern technique for transfer of funds. The modern concept of only banking has given it a
new dimension through which money is transferred from one place to another within no time,

2.8 Credit Department:
 Advances/Credit Department:
It is the loan function, which produces the major person of bank’s income, and as such it is the
major arrears of professional banker’s concern and attention.
 Principles While Advancing
Basically there are five principles that must be duly observed while advancing money to
borrowers.
• Safety
• Liquidity
• Remuneration
• Suitability
• Disposal
2.9 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
43
2.10 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.
2.11 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
 Registered
 Bearer
 Inscribed
2.12 Securities for Advances

 Pledge
 Hypothecation
 Guarantee
 Indemnity
 Charges
 Advances against “Stock Exchange Securities
 Advances against immovable property “Mortgage”
44
 Pledge
“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. 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 safe 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 whereby 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
“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 guarantee is
45
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 promise 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.
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.
2.13Advance Against Stock Exchange Securities

 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.

46
2.14 Advance 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 ‘Mortgage’ 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 sin qua non for the growth and development of an economy. This
acquires the 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 contribute 25% to GDP, provides raw material to 80% of industry and
employment to over 50 percent of the population. This is a sector that has the shortage gestation
period for investments and therefore a remarkable capacity to bring about a turnaround in the
economy. This important sector in Pakistan is suffering from 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-industrial
credit, and has more often than not served to sap their potential earnings. Needless to say, that
shortage of saving and lack of availability of capital is one of the major reasons for poverty in the
country. The agriculture and rural sector 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.
47
 Develop agro-based industry in the rural sector for economic value edition.
 Generate additional employments opportunities in rural as well as adjacent small 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.

3.17 ADVANCE 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 ‘Mortgage’ 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 sin qua non for the growth and development of an economy. This
acquires the 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 contribute 25% to GDP, provides raw material to 80% of industry and
employment to over 50 percent of the population. This is a sector that has the shortage gestation
period for investments and therefore a remarkable capacity to bring about a turnaround in the
economy. This important sector in Pakistan is suffering from number of maladies and is
consequently witnessing stagnation in productivity. Due to policy and administrative exigencies,
59
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-industrial
credit, and has more often than not served to sap their potential earnings. Needless to say, that
shortage of saving and lack of availability of capital is one of the major reasons for poverty in the
country. The agriculture and rural sector 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 edition.
 Generate additional employments opportunities in rural as well as adjacent small 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.

 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.

Return on Equity 16.25% 15.22% 18.62% 24.32% 6.99%
 Remarks:
The return on assets shows a increasing trend, which is good sign for the bank of Punjab. 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.
 Advance to Deposit Ratio:
Advance to Deposit Advance/ Deposit

No of Years 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016

 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 2012 to 2014 decrease then increases. It means that
the credit (advances) circulation of the bank has faces ups and downs during the last five years,
but overall improving from 56% to 63% which is good sign.

 Remarks:

progressive way.

 Remarks:
The return on investment shows an increasing trend, which is positive sign for the bank of
Punjab. The ROI ratio of five years of the bank of Punjab indicates that the investments of the
bank are increasing on continues bases. It looks progressive approach in terms of business
development.
 Earning Per Share:
Earning Per Share Net Profit After Tax/ No. of Shares
No of Years 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016

Earning Per Share 2.81 2.33 1.97 3.03 0.94
 Remarks:
Earning of the bank shows the increasing trend. This shows that the earning capacity of a single
share is increasing and shareholder’s earnings increases every year. That’s the plus 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.

6.3PEST Analysis:
PEST analysis of any industry investigates the important factors that affect the industry and influence the
companies operating in the sector. PEST stands for Political, Economic, Social and Technological
analysis. The PEST Analysis is a tool to analyze the forces that drive the industry and how those factors
can influence the industry.
102
 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 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% to3.25% 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.
 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
103
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.
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.
 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
104
as well as monetary actions. Clubbed with fiscal & monetary actions, decreasing commodity
prices, decreasing crude prices and lowering interest rate, we expect that Pakistan’s Economy
could again register a robust growth rate in recent years
 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. Recently PM
Nawaz Sharif announce Kissan relief package 341 billion rupees for the betterment of the
agricultural sector. To achieve this, I propose to continue the interest subvention scheme for
short term crop loans to farmers.
 Socio Cultural 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.
 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
105
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 sector to tap this change. Everything 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. Unequal Income distributions also affect 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.
106
 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’s:
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.
107
 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.
Chapter No.7(Points)
7.1 WeaknessesofBop:
The Bank of Punjab Advance salary, which has long been the flag-ship product for BOP, is
replete with charges of corruption, default and inefficiency.
 The Bank of Punjab huge number of borrowers is untraceable or correct whereabouts are
not known.
 The housing finance product of BOP lacks proper infrastructure including database
support even after five years of post-launch history. The similar products launched by
other commercial banks are much smaller in size are running on well-articulated systems
and are backed by proper policies and guidelines. The BOP product, despite boasting a
sizeable portfolio built around some reckless selling, is mostly infected.
 The BOP ApnaRozgar scheme is designed by Chief Minister order to support financially
potential educated unemployed. The scheme which had all the potential to become a
landmark was so badly mishandled by the Bank of Punjab.
 The Quality of infrastructure added by The Bank of Punjab during the last few years is
quite substandard as compared to that of peer banks.
 In BOP five year strategic plan approved by board of directors does not address any
serious thinking on
 Productivity improvement and benchmarking with the competition.
 Development required for serving major sectors of the economy.
 Infrastructure to support planned growth and vision.
 Inducting and leveraging specialized human capital.
108
As far as public interest is concerned there were no service standards benchmarks and guidelines
available in BOP. There were only old documents that were crafted.
 The Bank of Punjab outsourced employees was obtained from a single source. Most of
these are performing the core function of the bank outside their assigned duties without
any training and supervision.
 The Bank of Punjab is incurred large expenses in running those branches, which are not
producing any income.
 The up gradation of human resource is very slow in BOP. The branches of BOP have less
number of employees as their requirements. The concept of “One Man Show” is adopted
in many branches to save salary expenditure; even most of the branches use their security
guards for various tasks. The one reason for this is that the senior management is able to
decrease salary expenditure of the bank, which result an increase in the net profit.
7.2 RECOMMENDATIONS:
After doing my internship in The Bank of Punjab I give some recommendations on the basis of
experience in the bank.
 The Bank of Punjab should take steps to improve its HR and performance appraisal
system, and it must be on merit.
 The Bank of Punjab management required to motivate their branch manager and
supervisor to treat the employee fairly and lenient, and give freedom and power to work
independently and perform their job tasks because workers motivation increase if they
work independently.
 There should be conducting training programs for the new employees on regular basis,
and these programs should be conduct in the head office not in the branches because
branch staff busy at their own work.
 The Bank of Punjab should focus on the promotional and advertisement strategy to their
competitors in the market because the bank should not focus on it.
109
 The Bank of Punjab having too much bad debts because of performing loans to political
personality, according to my opinion bank should first recover their bad debts to increase
its profitability ratio.
 According to my opinion The Bank of Punjab should motivate individuals to open their
accounts in the bank because the main customer of the bank is Punjab Government and
corporate sector.
 The Bank of Punjab management should take effective steps to reduce the administrative
expenses and also control on the non-performing loans which is the main cause of their
losses.
 The Bank of Punjab should follow the good recruitment policies.
 The Bank of Punjab should motivate its employees through effective communication and
give bonus, incentive to the employees.
 The Bank of Punjab should built official appreciation programs like employee of the
month.
 According to my opinion there should be strict rule and regulation according to the
transfer and promotion of employees, on the base of merit give promotion to the
employees, no favoritism, nepotism and politics should be involved.
 The Bank of Punjab policy framework should be clear, effective and transparence.
 According to my opinion The Bank of Punjab should provide good and effective working
environment to their employees so that they should work with satisfaction.
 According to my opinion there should be an information desk to provide the information
and to receive the complaints from the customers, in every branch complaint box should
be installed so that customers can complaint easily because every person cannot directly
talk to the manager some person feel hesitation.

7.3 Conclusion
I conclude my report on the basis of learning in The Bank of Punjab. It is an exciting program
which gives a chance to work in the banking field I am having a good experience in The Bank of
Punjab. I have learned so many professional activities from this branch of the Bank and the staff
of the Bank is very cooperative with me. They helped me in every field and guide me very well
during my internship program. I took information from different department of Bank. My
knowledge and confidence improved so much after working in the Bank.
The Bank of Punjab play a vital role in the economy of the country and has strength over the
other banks as you see in the SWOT Analysis, but on the other hand, I observed some issues
related to the promotional and advertising activities of the Bank because The bank of Punjab do
not participate in the modern marketing activities of promotions as compare to its competitors
and facing low sale and deposits.
The administrative expenses are also increase day by day which shows that management of the
bank fails to overcome the expenses and the investment also decreased which is the part of the
earning assets, and other income sources also decreased. The bank of Punjab bears losses
because of non-performing loans which was given to political personalities and increase the cost
of bad debts.
I also observed that The Bank of Punjab is not offering handsome salary packages and bonuses
to their employees as compare to other banks. The Bank of Punjab has to make clear policies
related to employee’s salary and bonuses for the motivation of their employees.
The Bank of Punjab should have very poor HR system, and there should be no specific
performance appraisal system for the benefits of the employees. There should be a lack of
coordination between the Staff Members opportunity and making my internship learnable.
