BANKING HISTORY IN PAKISTAN
At the time of partition the total number of Commercial Banks in Pakistan were
38 .Out of these Pakistan had 2 banks, India had 29 and there were 7 exchange banks.
The total deposits of Pakistan banks stood at Rs. 880.0 millions where the advances were
Rs 198.0 million. Before the partition of Sub Continent the entire banking business was
almost controlled and managed by non-Muslims. The Muslims were deliberately kept cut
of banking profession by the wealthy Hindu community. When Hindu capitalists became
sure of the division of Sub Continent, they secretly began transferring their capital to the
safe places in India.
The funds and the other valuables were transferred at an accelerated pace to India
and there was a mass scale migration of non Muslims from West Pakistan to India which
also caused the drain on the bank deposits. The Hindus in order to ruin the economy of
the newly born State closed down most of the head offices and the branches of scheduled
and non-scheduled banks in Pakistan. The number of scheduled bank’s branches was
reduced from 619 to 213 in both the wings of the country after independence.
The non-scheduled banks also suffered a severe jolt and their number was reduced
from 411 to 106 over the same period. West Pakistan from where there was greater
exodus of non-Muslims to India suffered a great deal, as a number of branches fell down
(from 487 to 69).
In the east Pakistan though the number of branches were not closed in such a
great number as in west Pakistan, large portion of the deposits were with drawn from the
banks and transferred to India by the non Muslims. The mass scale closure of branches
and withdrawal of the deposits caused a dead lock in the banking business in Pakistan.
The government of Pakistan was quite aware of the serious banking situation
caused by the withdrawal of deposits and wholesale migration of banking staffs to India.
5
National bank of Pakistan
It took up the challenge and started reorganizing the crippled banking immediately after
partition.
A moratorium of free months was also allowed to banks that had financial
difficulty due to sudden withdrawal of deposits.
In addition to above, the following arrangements were made for facilitating
Settlement of claims by the governments.
Each bank was to declare on to its offices both in India and Pakistan as
Clearing house for transfer of accounts.
Each bank was open at least one central office in Pakistan where it could consolidate
work of all its branches and start paying out to depositors.
The government took some effective measures for providing banking training
facilities to Muslims. There were some complaints that Hindu banks were not honoring
the cheques of Pakistani national and were also refusing to give securities kept in their
custody. The government issued an ordinance, which empowered it to investigate all such
complaints, and if satisfied of their bonafide, the payments should be realized. In case the
bank insisted on non-payments, the government should realize the assets of the banks,
which were sufficient to discharge such liabilities.
The government of Pakistan also allowed the removal of valuables kept in save
deposits vaults and lockers by submitting an application and getting necessary approval
from the custodian of evacuee property.
The government of Pakistan tried to provide all kinds of facilities with sincerity to
the known Muslim bankers for restoring normal banking facilities in the country but the
response was discouraging. An inter dominion agreement was reached between India and
Pakistan in April 1949. The main provisions of the agreement was as under:
6
National bank of Pakistan
The inter dominion agreement could not be fully imported. India delayed the
transfer of Muslim deposits to Pakistan. The non-devaluations decision of Pakistan
government further led to the suspension of remittance facilities through normal banking
channels.
Due to panicky withdrawal of deposits; some banks went into liquidation and the
payments could not be made to the depositors.
In order to regulate both of the banking on sound footings, the following
measures were taken to develop the banking system in Pakistan.
The State Bank of Pakistan, which is the central bank of the country, was
established in July 1948.
The National Bank of Pakistan was established on 1949,to serve as an agent to the
SBP.
The Industrial Development Bank of Pakistan was set up on August 1, 1961 with
a Paid up Capital of Rs; five crore. The Agricultural Development Bank of
Pakistan (ADBP) was set up in 1961. it provides short , medium and long term
loans to the farmers. In Jan, 1974 the entire commercial banks were Nationalized.
The weaker commercial banks were merged with the stronger once and in all Five
major banking companies were formed. MCB and ABL have again been
privatized.
Pakistan banking council was set up for coordinating the activities of the nationalized
commercial banks. The banking council formulates the policies and guidelines for the
banks.
Interest has been eliminated from the banking transaction from July 1, 1985. The
banks are now accepting saving deposits on Profit and Loss Sharing bases.
Modaraba and Leasing Companies are also operating in Pakistan.

National bank of Pakistan
The banks nationalized, due to weaknesses such as over staffing, deterioration in customer services, raising bad debts, loan on political bases etc, are being gradually denationalized. MCB was privatized in April 1991. The shares of ABL have also been sold to its 7500 workers. Permission to open ten banks in the private sector has also been given.
The permission to open an Investment bank has also been given. It will go a long way is providing capital for the industrial projects.
The government of Pakistan has also liberalized the exchange and payment procedure. The Pakistani firms and companies can now maintain Foreign Currency accounts in Pakistan on the same bases as known Pakistanis.
HISTORY OF NATIONAL BANK OF
PAKISTAN
The normal procedure of establishing a banking company under the Companies
Law was set aside and the Bank was established through the promulgation of an
Ordinance due to the crisis situation that had developed with regard to financing of jute
Trade. The Bank commenced its operations from November 20, 1949 at six important
jute centers in the then east Pakistan and directed its resources in financing of jute crop.
The Bank’s Karachi and Lahore offices were subsequently opened in December 1949.
State bank of Pakistan after its formation demanded from the Indian Reserve
Bank the assets against the Indian currency retired from Pakistan territory. Government
of India refused to hand over the assets worth about five hundred million rupees. The
dispute is still unsettled and these assets are still not delivered to Pakistan. Until June
1950, the Bank was engaged exclusively on jute operation. Thereafter, it was felt that it
could expand its business to include other commodities as well. Bank took a
8

of Pakistan.

reports, banker’s opinion or confidential reports. All these terms carry more or less the
same meanings. The study of a borrower is a study of his character, capacity and capital,
and collateral often known as the 4Cs to consider his credit worthiness and eligibility for
the bank advance.
The purpose of compilation of credit report of the borrower is to assess their net
worth. It must contain information about borrower’s means, character, integrity, assets,
liabilities, business and experience. Besides, borrowers own investment, details of
properties, must be obtained. The borrower may be asked to give written clarification of
their existing liabilities.
In the case of Limited Companies, their borrowing powers to be verified from
their Memorandum & Articles of Association. Their certification of incorporation to be

examined, exiting borrowings, prior charge on their fixed assets, paid-up capital,
reserves, profit and loss position, detailed particulars of their directors and complete
analysis of balance sheet must be incorporated in the credit report. Independent inquiries
about the borrowers and opinions form their previous bankers must be made. As such a
comprehensive credit report is compiled which serves as a constant guide to the banker
about his borrower.
This report is prepared by the bank of the intending borrower with a view to
considering his Credit Worthiness and Eligibility for the Bank Finance. Besides other
things it contains the net worth of the borrower.

The Investigation process

2. Risks inherent in lending
Management risk
Market risk
Earnings fluctuations risk
37
National bank of Pakistan
Default risk
Marketability risk
Criteria checked for loans
Major areas requiring focused attention of the analyst are:
1.Financial Condition
Which is reflected in the trends of:
Net sales
Gross sales
Operating profits
Net profits (at least for the last 3 years)
2.Structural Liquidity
It refers to the extent of liquidity usually available in the business, or which is the
routine requirement of the borrower based on the nature of his periodically maturing
liabilities.
3.Industry/Business Of Operation
The banker has to check that in which industry or segment of market the loan is
being given this is important because if there were a recession in that industry for
decades then it would not be feasible to invest in such a business.
Certain traditionally stable industries are in Pakistan in which NBP feels satisfied
while investing.
38
National bank of Pakistan
For example in they feel satisfied by investing in ICI.
4.Debt Equity Management
Excessive reliance on debt, rather than plough back of profits or injection of fresh
equity, to maintain a healthy combination of debt and equity is thought with danger
because ultimately the debt servicing requirements place a heavy burden on its
liquidity thereby its survival.
5.Asesst Management
Asset management involves the analysis of how productively the assets of the
company are being used. Sales and profitability can be measured with this.
6.Borrower’s Credit Worthiness
In order to get a complete picture of the borrower’s credit worthiness, inquiries
will have to be made about:
His business.
Trade experience.
Assets and liabilities.
His account with bank or with other banks.
His financial statements and income tax returns.
An interview with him will be necessary to elucidate or supplement the
information that may have been collected.
7.Management
39
National bank of Pakistan
Before giving loan NBP also checks whether the management have the depth,
skill and experience. If the management is aggressive and adoptive to the new
changes then it is most likely that the banker may receive the loan back on due date
8.Securities
In case the borrower is not in a position to meet his obligations, there must be
something else to call back upon. So bankers take securities to have a resource to
them to guard liquidity, that is, security is an insurance against calamities.
In case of cash finance the customer have to give the same amount of money to the
NBP as a security for which it takes loan.
Condition for security
The security must be liquid or radically convertible to cash with more then
adequate margin of safety fully under the banks control, having high value, which can
with stand volatile market condition.
Secured by acceptable immovable tangible collateral with necessary margin and fair
degree of marketability under the forced sale situation (should have buyer).
The types of securities may vary from a piece of land or building to commercial
papers or ornaments. Further, security has its own importance, not only as
constituting the ultimate source of recovery in the event of failure of the borrower or
his enterprise, but as providing a measure to the borrowers own stake in the enterprise
and also placing the limitation on his future borrowings.
However, though security serves as a cushion to fall bank upon in case of need,
but its adequacy alone should not form the sole consideration for judging the
40
National bank of Pakistan
suitability of the loan. So the choice of security is not made in isolation, but keeping
into consideration the customer and security offered together.

customer base NBP holds 24.6% share of time and demand deposits in the country.
Local currency deposits comprise 67% of bank's total deposits while foreign currency
deposits account for the rest.
NBP has an extensive domestic branch network of 1200 (according to the latest data)
branches located all over Pakistan. The Bank also has a presence in 19 international
locations including the USA, United Kingdom, Europe and the Far East.
NBP's total assets stood at Pak Rs.370 billion on December 2000. This included total

of government for recovery as well as payment. All depositor of NBP are in relief that
their money security is guaranteed by government of Pakistan.
It acts as an agent of the Central Bank wherever the State Bank does not have its own
Branch.
WEAKNESSES
80
National bank of Pakistan
NBP staff especially at lower considers their work as burden. They usually waste time
in other task a part in performing their duty. Using government property for there
own need. They are reluctant to accept change brought by latest restructuring efforts.
The general out look and interior layout of branches are not as required according to
modern banking
NBP bearing up large burden in running those branches, which are not producing any
income but keep on adding expenditure.
NBP is relying on its traditional sources of income it has not taken benefit from
innovation in banking like introducing retail banking or consumer banking and using
any type of scheme to generate more deposits and producing more advances. Further,
more don’t even continue its credit card due mismanagement and lack of control.
NBP is far behind in offering modern banking facility like automated teller machines
then other commercial bank in Pakistan as only eighteen branches in all over country
have this facility.
NBP has only forty-four on line branches. While from remaining branches data
gathering is time consuming, and not fool proof. Quantum of settlement within
different branches is pending because of this updating daily record is becoming very
difficult.
Customers have to fallow long lengthy procedure for opening of account as well
applying for debt. Which discourage most of the people to invest in NBP.
In NBP, most of the time merit not has importance in hiring of employees. Such
practices are black spot on the face of bank and resulted big losses and fraudulent acts
by NBP own employees.
OPPORTUNITIES
Reorganizing efforts going on in the NBP has open many opportunities for NBP to grow.
NBP current management has boarder vision. They have taken steps to improve customer
services, streamline internal procedure and creating a delectating climate for technology
initiative.
To achieve above mention objective they have created operation group
81
National bank of Pakistan
Starting of the retail banking initial working.
Setting of target for of making at least 300 branches country wide on line.
Closing of all those branches, which are burden on NBP.
Management to offer specialized services to major corporate including advisory and
debt syndication introduces the concept of relationship manager.
Comprehensive training programs has been develop to up grade the core banking
skills of the existing staff as well as integrate high quality hiring.
To improve the motivation of staff a merit-based culture is being promoted. Through
overhauling the manpower recruitment preservation and performance appraisal
system.
These actions taken by current management provide a great opportunity for NBP for
making it future prosper and can make NBP not less than any modern commercialize
bank in Pakistan.
THREATS
Following are the major threats which national bank of Pakistan is facing:
Major threats NBP facing is from its competitor especially from denationalized
commercial bank. In which MCB is on the top of the list, The Bank provides 24 hour
banking convenience with the largest ATM network in Pakistan covering 15 cities
with over 100 ATM locations.
Retail banking and consumer banking resulting in the products such as credit cards,
housing finance and automobile finance lending to small individual consumers, and
purchases of automobiles, housing, and consumer goods are generally made on a cash
basis. These are causing another threat, if not counter will result in significance loss
of customers
82
National bank of Pakistan
Recently banks and other financial institutions have introduced innovative schemes to
attract deposits, like gift checque scheme by MCB. These schemes offer prizes on
short and long term fixed deposits, through lucky draws.
Now banks are using technology which covers the distance no matter how far away
any one, through a satellite based, on-line real-time banking system and by offering
telephone banking, electronic funds transfer, E-Banking and other modern facilities.
SUGGESTIONS NBP major fault is that wasn’t keep its pace with on going changing in banking
industry unlike other bank. Now this bank combining all it power and trying to
approach other banks.
Latest reorganizing efforts are necessary to make it cost effective also making its
facility accordingly to modern banking. These must continue.
Bank management has to put its all effort to change the prevailing culture of the bank
and to put the foundation stone of business oriented culture. In which employees give
important to the bank and its customer.
To attract the customer in the future NBP have to make extensive effort to give
facilities of retail and consumer banking. Plus the technology in the banking which
will be necessary for future banking is another week area need to be stressed.
The outlook and interior lay out of the branches is another thing which needs to be
improved.
The procedure of taking services from the bank must be made easier and straight
forward not involving long difficult procedure for simple task.
To remain in the market bank need to be vigilant in the eyes of customer. One way is
through promotion efforts, so that people aware about he services of the banking and any
addition which the bank as made in the portfolio of its services.
