executive summaryEvery student of Commerce at Hailey College of Commerce University of the

Punjab has an essential requirement to do Six to Eight weeks internship in any of the

well reputed organization. The purpose of this program is to acquaint the students

with practical applications of theoretical concepts taught to them during conduct oftheir .Com and M.Com program. The internship in Habib Bank was arranged by the



3/96

Internship Report

job placement cell of the institute. Really, it was a nice opportunity to have a close

comparison of theoretical concept in practical field, involving the use of primary and

secondary data. All the efforts on the way are summarized in shape of this Internship

Report. Report starts with the topic evolution of banking. The word 'Bank' is said to

have been derived from the words Bancus or Banque or Bank. This history of

banking is traced to as early as 2000 B.C. Talking about commercial banking in

Pakistan It was very difficult for Pakistan to build up its own Banking system

immediately after independence without sufficient resources. By 30th June 1948 the

number of schedule banks in Pakistan declined from mere scratch. Today there are

more than 7000 branches of commercial banks along with an established network of

supplementary financial institutions. All this development in the banking sector is the

result of untiring efforts of six decades. HBL was the first commercial bank to be

established in Pakistan in 1947. Over the years, HBL has grown its branch network

and become the largest private sector bank with over 1,450 branches across the

country and a customer base exceeding five million relationships.

On December 29, 2003 Pakistan's Privatization Commission announced that

the Government of Pakistan had formally granted the Aga Khan Fund for Economic

Development (AKFED) rights to 51% of the shareholding in HBL, against an

investment of PKR 22.409 billion (USD 389 million). This report contains information

about HBLs board of directors, management, mission, vision and values. HBLs

operations are discussed in light of its working department in the branches like cash,

clearing, foreign exchange and accounts department and also in light of its services

and products which it is offering to customers weather they are individual, business,

corporate or agriculture field related customers. HBL is currently offering phone

banking, internet banking and various cash management services for the facilitation

of its customers. HBLs car to car loan has its own uniqueness in Pakistans banking

sector. HBLs branch network is extended all over the Pakistan which has its

competitive edge over all other private sector banks in Pakistan.

During the time of my internship in Habib Bank Wan Bhachran Mianwali I got

the chance to work in all the departments of HBL working there. Duties and learning

in each department is given in this report. Talking about financial performance of the

bank in 2010 all the financial indicators are showing positive results when the



4/96

Internship Report

financial performance of the bank in 2010 is compared with financial performance of

2009. During 2010 HBL also won some awards. At the end of this report I have given

my suggestion for the improvement of the bank.

Evolution of banking

The word 'Bank' is said to have been derived from the words Bancus or

Banque or Bank. This history of banking is traced to as early as 2000 B.C. The

priests in Greece used to keep money and valuables of the people in temples. These

priests thus acted as financial agents. The origin of banking is also traced to early



5/96

Internship Report

goldsmiths. They used to keep strong safes for storing the money and valuables of

the people. The persons who had surplus money found it safe and convenient of

deposit their valuables with them. The first stage in the development of modern

banking, thus, was the accepting of deposits of cash from those persons who had

surplus money with them.

The goldsmiths used to issue receipts for the money deposited with them.

These receipts began to pass from hand to hand in settlement of transactions

because people had confidence in the integrity and solvency of goldsmiths. When it

was found that these receipts were fully accepted in payment of debts; then the

receipts were drawn in such a way that it entitled any holder to claim the specified

amount of money from goldsmiths. A depositor who is to make the payments may

now get the money in cash from goldsmiths or pay over the receipt to the creditor.

These receipts were the earlier bank notes. The second stage in the development of

banking thus was the issue of bank notes.

The goldsmiths soon discovered that all the people who had deposited money

with them do not come to withdraw their funds in cash. They found that only a few

persons presented the receipts for encashment during a given period of time. They

also found that most of the money deposited with them was lying idle. At the same

time; they found that they were being constantly requested for loan on good security.

They thought it profitable to lend at least some of the money deposited with them to

the needy persons. This proved quite a profitable business for the_ goldsmiths. They

instead of charging safe keeping charges from the depositors began to give them5

interest on the money deposited with them. This was the third stage in the

development of banking.

COMMERCIAL BANKING IN

PAKISTAN

It was very difficult for Pakistan to build up its own Banking system

immediately after independence without sufficient resources. Following the

announcement of the partition plan in June 1947 there was a haste movement on the



7/96

Internship Report

parts of banks to transfer their funds and accounts across the borders. The banks

having their registered offices in Pakistan were transferred to India. In an effort to

bring about the collapse of the new state by the persecuting an international policy of

withdrawal, the Indian bank offices closed quickly. Those banks, which stayed, were

considering the winding up of their business. By 30th June 1948 the number of

schedule banks in Pakistan declined from mere scratch.

Today there are more than 7000 branches of commercial banks along with an

established network of supplementary financial institutions. All this development inthe banking sector is the result of untiring efforts of four decades.

History ofBanking In PakistanThe interesting point which I observed during the span of mine internship was

the historical background of Banking & Financial sector which is the one in which

great improvement and growth is observed since the formation of Pakistan. For

studying the growth of this sector we can divide it into three stages, which are as

follows:

a) Pre-Nationalization Era

b) Nationalization Era

c) Post Nationalization Era

a) Pre Nationalization period

There were only two Muslim banks in Indo Pak before partition; they were

.Habib Bank Ltd. (est. in 1941 at Bombay) & Australia Bank Ltd. (est. In 1944 at

Lahore). All other banks, at that time, were either owned by Hindus or Foreigners.

At the time of partition there were 631 bank branches in area which came

under Pakistani control. But due to blood shed and violence at large scale, mostly



8/96

Internship Report

branches were closed and the disparity can be assessed from the fact that on July

1948 there were 195 branches with deposits of Rs.88 crore (880 million) only. Also a

factor lagging in Pakistani industry was a central bank of its own, by that time

Reserve Bank of India was acting as central bank for both countries and same

currency notes were used in both territories. But Reserve Bank of India was biased

and Set down Pakistan on many occasions such as the issue of funds transfer etc.

In this period drastic steps were taken in government sector for the improvement of

overall position. The private sector also responded to these changes and some very

positive changes were observed. Some of the steps taken by the government in this

regard were as under:

1) Inauguration of State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on 1st July, 1948.

2) Setting up of National Bank of Pakistan in November, 1949 to control the'jute' export in East Pakistan and to act as agent of SBP.

3) Larger powers were given to SBP through SBP Act (1956) for controlling

purposes.

4) Banking Companies Ordinance 1962 for protection and guidance to banks.

5) Establishment of specialized banks, such as ADBP (1952);

a) HBFC (Nov, 1952);

b) P1CIC (Oct, 1957)

c) IDBP (Aug. 1961);

d) NDFC (Jan, 1973).These were the steps, which built a strong banking sector in Pakistan. This is

also obvious from the facts that by 1973 there were almost 10 foreign banks were

working in Pakistan and all over deposit position was around Rs.2300 crore (23,000

million). A bird eye view of 5 top banks was as given below:

MCB 506 1,640

ABL 145 570

B) NATIONALIZATION PERIOD

On January 01, 1974 all Pakistani banks were nationalized through

Nationalization Act 1974. Under this law all Pakistani banks became a public

property. All small banks were merged in bigger banks to create 5 major Pakistani

banks Pakistani banks. These banks were to control by Pakistan Banking Council.

There are still controversies about this act of government as whether it contributed in

success of failure of banks. However the major changes after nationalization were as

follows:

Working of banks was extended to under developed areas.

Market expansion for credit and deposits.

Decrease in service level of bank officers.

Decrease in profitability as well.

However the effect of expansion was enormous and it can also be depicted

with the help of table 2 which shows the deposit & branch positions of different

nationalized banks.

C) POST NATIONALIZATION ERA

In 1990 the government decided to denationalize all the nationalized

institutes. Some was also suggested in banking sector. For this purpose,

amendments were made to Nationalization Act 1974 and two nationalized banks

were privatized. Along with this a permission to open banks in private sector was

also granted. The rules regarding establishment of new banks and for incoming

foreign banks were also relaxed.

The- privatized banks are;

a) MCB taken up by a private group in April, 1991

b) ABL taken up by its own employees in September, 1991.

c) UBL taken up by UAE party in 2002.

d) December 29, 2003 HBL was taken by AKFED

After these changes a large number of private and foreign banks started their

operations in Pakistan and the present status can be seen from the following figure:

SWOT analysis

Strengths

Strength can be defined as an area where a company is best at doing

something or a feature that puts the company at an advantage in comparison to its

competitors. HBL enjoys the following strengths:



23/96

Internship Report

HABIB BANK is a well established bank enjoying long history of over 65 years

of experience and profitable operation.

HBL is the largest private bank in Pakistan now and people trust is very high.

It has the largest branch network among private banks of Pakistan.

HBL has been very effective in controlling costs as it successfully restructured

itself after its privatization. During this process more than 1,600 employees

were relieved under a golden handshake scheme and 110 branches were

closed.

Excellent branches appearance gives an edge to HBL over other banks. The

branches are well furnished even in less developed areas where other banks

branches give a poor view.

HBL has the ability to bring innovative products and services like personalized

service, electronic funds Transfer, sophisticated financial products such as

electronic banking, auto-teller machines and evening banking.

The Banks Rupee Traveler Cheques have been market leaders for the past

six years.

HBLs car to car financing scheme is unique in auto loan segment.

Habib bank is an internationally recognized name in banking services and

products.

HBL has forged strategic alliances with international banks for expanding its

network further, both locally and internationally.

Weaknesses

A weakness is defined as an area in an organization where the organization is not as

good at doing something as its competitors or a thing which an organization lacks

thus putting the organization at disadvantage in comparison to its competitors.

Based on the above definition, HBL has the following weaknesses.



24/96

Internship Report

Lack of communication between bank and customers about terms and

condition of products and services. Like centralization of cheque book issuing

process.

Employees at branch level are not properly motivated to work by heart. They

take the all routine activities as a boring job.

Most of the employees lack managerial training as they are not properly

educated. Due to seniority, they have moved up on the hierarchy line to

Grade-I, II or III positions having hardly bachelor degrees. This type of senior

staff cannot apply the modern and innovative techniques of management in

decision making.

Mission of HBL is not well defined.

Though HBL is second largest bank in Pakistan, yet the fact remains that it is

not market leader as NBP. Its total assets are always less than NBP total

assets.

Now as it is a privatize bank that is why GOVERNAMENT support to HBL

decreased as it was in past

Opportunities

An opportunity can be defined as a change in external environment which if properly

exploited with the organizational strengths will result in enhanced sales, market

share, or income. Using its strengths, HBL can avail the following opportunities.

Opportunities require explanation therefore I have used headings instead of arrows



25/96

Internship Report

E-Banking

Generally speaking, three factors, quickness, easiness and cheapness have become

the catchwords for the competitiveness and usefulness of all the business

operations. Particularly it is commonplace today to say that banking is undergoing a

radical transformation.The symptoms are new products, new players, new channelsetc. This transformation is taking place across all sectors of the banking industry.

That is why Habib bank urgently needs to improve their ability, to think strategically

about IT investments. Only those banks that use their technology resources

effectively have the opportunity to secure real competitive advantage in this fast-

changing industry through real product or service differentiation.

High mark up rates

Of late markup rates have increased considerably. Present rates are 4% above

KIBOR i.e. 16% appx. High markup rate has decreased the interest of people in

loaning from from banks. Habib bank can increase its income by offering loan at

lower interest rate than other banks.

ONLINE BANKING

It is doing banking transactions through our home P.C. The banks that do business

through net have Websites. The customer clicks into the Website and gets the

history of the bank. Then he can demand the necessary application form through the

net. He fills in the form and passes it on to the bank. The Online banking is fast

gaining ground in Pakistan. Some software companies are also offering network-

banking facilities. So Habib bank should focus heavily on providing online banking

faculties to its customers. Currently it is doing the same.

CORPORATE BANKING TERMINAL (CBT)



26/96

Internship Report

Large corporate customers can log into the bank's database and have access to

their accounts/transactions from their business houses. This facility has still not been

started for customers in Pakistan. So Habib can focus on that.

AUTOMATIC TELLER MACHINE (ATM)

This system is known as "Any Time Money" because it allows customers who have

an ATM card to withdraw money at any time from the bank without interacting with

human teller. Since the ATM machine can be installed anywhere like petrol bunks,

markets, railway stations etc, and can well be linked to the main computer. It allows

customers to transact with the bank 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. They allow

the customers to transfer money to and from accounts to view account information,

to receive cash. It can also be used to deposit cheques and cash into the

accounts. No bank in Pakistan is offering this service currently. So an opportunity

exists for Habib bank to differentiate.

Rate of return

The range and choice of products available & offered by the commercial banks is

limited. Rates of Return / Profits on Deposits are so low and unattractive that very

limited options are available to the depositors. They do not match the current rate of

inflation. HBL differentiate and increase its deposit by offering attractive rate of

return on deposits.

Threats

Threat can be defined as a change in external environment which if not met with

proper strategies will result in loss of revenues, market share, or income. In the

context of HBLs external environment, the following potential threats exist:



27/96

Internship Report

Other private commercial bank with sound profitability is also a threat to HBL

e.g. UBL, Alfalah, MCB etc

The Rupee Travelers Cheque (RTC) sales volumes may be affected on

account of regulatory restriction imposed by SBP on issuance of large value

denominations.

For the last of 2 to 3 years, Pakistan is facing economic and political instability

which is a big threat.

Foreign banks are flourishing in field of consumer financing.

Afghan war and Iraq war has a deep effect on the economy of Pakistan, which

has affected HBL.

Increased regulations from State Bank of Pakistan may affect its business.

on the account; it can act only in accordance with provisions mentioned in the letter

of probate issued by a competent courts.

III) CUSTOMERS INSANITY

If the customer becomes insane or mental it terminates the bankers authority to act

as his customers agent. Since the banker customer relationship comes to end, in

such as situation, it is usually considered that the bankers authority to pay his

customers cheques is revoked by notice of insanity. However, the bankers treat their

choice affordable and practical with a buy back guarantee. HBL CarToCar offers

matchless features and unique options at the end of the lease. Now customer can

cars value that he use during the lease term. The cars residual value (forecasted for

the end of the specific lease term) is agreed with him at the start of the lease term.

car. Therefore, HBL CarToCar offers very low installments as compared to any

conventional financing.

guarantee. Hence, he can upgrade to a new car as frequently as two years without

any complication and hassle.

Affordability

With HBL CarToCar, customer only has to pay the difference between the car price

and the pre-agreed residual value to the bank. As a result, the monthly installment

may even be 40% to 50% less than that of conventional financing.

Flexibility

HBL CarToCar offers customers several choices at the end of the lease term:

Upgrade - Simply return the car to HBL and drive a new one home

Walk away - Return the car to HBL and end the lease

Buy - Keep the same car. Just make a one-time settlement of the cars residual

value to HBL or pay the same in easy installments over a specified extended period

of time

Sell - Enjoy the gain from selling off the car at a higher price in the market than

what you ay HBL as the residual value
