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 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 them interest on the money deposited with them.
This was the third stage in the development of banking.
DEFINITION OF A BANK:
The term 'bank' is being used for a long time, yet it has no precise
definition. The basic reason is that the commercial banks perform not
just one but many types of functions. The term bank has been defined
differently by different authors. Some are as follows:
According to Crowther,
"Bank is a dealer in debts—his own and of other people."
According to G.W. Gilbert,
"A banker is a dealer in capital or more properly a dealer in money. He
is an intermediate party between the borrower and the lender. He borrows
from one party and lends to another."
According to Banking companies ordinance 1962
u/s3(B) of Banking Companies Ordinance 1962 "Banker means person
transacting the business of accepting for the purpose of lending or
investment, of deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand or
otherwise and withdraw able by cheque, draft, order or otherwise and
includes any Post Office Savings Bank."
COMMERCIAL BANKING IN PAKISTAN
The 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. (estd. in 1941 at Bombay) & Australia Bank Ltd. (estd.
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 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:

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-three 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.
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 figures:
SCHEDULE BANKS
Category No. of Banks
Nationalized Commercial Banks 3
Private / Privatized Commerce Banks 18
Public Sector Specialized Banks 4
Foreign Banks 19
Total Schedule Banks 44
In addition to above mentioned scheduled banks there are 7 Development
Financial Institutes, 14 Investment Banks and Modarbah Companies.
MUSLIM COMMERCIAL BANK LTD.
(HISTORICAL BACKGROUND)
Now let us discuss the historical background of Muslim Commercial Bank
Limited. Before separation of Indo Pak, the need for more Muslim banks
was felt. And Muslims having strong financial capacity were thinking to
invest in this sector as well. This was the idea which paved the way for
setting up Muslim Commercial Bank Ltd known as MCB. This was the third
Muslim bank in the subcontinent.
HISTORY
This bank was incorporated under companies’ act 1913 on 9th July, 1947
(just before partition) at Calcutta. But due to changing scenario of the
region, the certificate of incorporation was issued on 17th August, 1948
with a delay of almost 1 year; the certificate was issued at Chitagong.
The first Head office of the company was established at Dacca and Mr.
G.M. Adamjee was appointed its first chairman. It was incorporated with
an authorized capital of Rs. 15 million.
After some time the registered office of the company was shifted to
Karachi on August 23rd, 1956 through a special resolution, now recently
the Head office of MCB has been transferred to Islamabad in July, 1999
and now Head office is termed as Principle Office.
This institute was nationalized with other on January 1st, 1974. At that
time it had 506 branches and deposits amounting to Rs. 1,640 million.
Although. MCB has a reputation of a conservative bank but
nationalization also left its effects on this institute as well and by
end of year 1991 in which it was privatized the total number of branches
were 1.287 and deposits amounting to as high as Rs. 35,029 million.
When privatization policy was announced in 1990, MCB was the first to be
privatized upon recommendations of World Bank and IMF. The reason for
this choice was the better profitability condition of the organization
and less risky credit portfolio which made'' it a good choice for
investors. On April 8th, 1991, the management control was handed over to
National Group (the highest bidders). Initially only 26% of shares were
sold to private sector at Rs. 56 per share.
DEVELOPMENTS
After privatization, the growth in every department of the bank has been
observed. Following are some key developments:
1) Launching of different deposit schemes to increase saving level.
2) Increased participation on foreign trade.
3) Betterment of branches and staff service level.
4) Introduction of Rupee Traveler Cheques & Photo Credit Card for the
first time in Pakistan.
5) Extended use of information technology which is evident from the fact
that there are 768 fully automated branches, 243 online branches
(integrated networking), 151 ATMS in 27 cities nation wide and a M.C.B
continuously innovate new product.

FIELDS OF ACTIVITIES OF MCB
The purpose of banks is to provide some services to the general public.
And for this purpose different banks provide different services to the
people in different forms. The Muslim Commercial Bank (MCB) is a
commercial bank, in modern time commercial banks play a very important
role and their functions are manifold. The main functions and services
which Muslim Commercial Bank Limited provides to different peoples are
as follows.
1) Open Different accounts for different peoples
2) Accepting various types of deposits
3) Accepting various types of deposits
4) Granting loans & advances
5) Undertaking of agency services and also general utility functions,
few of those are as under:
a) Collecting cheques and bill of exchange for the customers.
b) Collecting interest due, dividend, pensions and other sum due to
customers.
c) Transfer of money from place to place.
d) Acting an executor, trustee or attorney for the customers. ‘Providing

f) Accepting bills of exchange on behalf of customers.
g) Purchasing shares for the customers.
h) Undertaking foreign exchange business.
i) Furnishing trade information and tendering advice to customers.
For proper functioning of branches and the over all bank has been
divided in different departments. These departments handle different
jobs so that division of work is there for improvement of functions and
also it is easy to control the situation. The general division in a
branch is as follows:
1) Cash department
2) Deposit department
3) Advances & credit department
4) Foreign exchange department
Technology department (new addition in order to cop with the growing
needs of day to day technology requirements)
CASH DEPARTMENT
The following books are maintained in the Cash Department:
1. Receiving Cash Book
2. Paying Cash Book
3. Token Book
4. Scroll Book
5. Cash Balance Book
When cash is received in counter, it is entered in the Scroll Book and
Receiving Cashier Book. At the close of the day, these are balanced with
each other.
When the cheque or any negotiable instrument is presented at counter for
payment, it is entered in the token book and token is issued to the
customer. The token clerk and the Cashier make entries in the paying
book and payment is made to payee. At the close of day, the Token Book
and Paying Cashier Book are balanced.
The consolidated figure of receipt and payment of cash is entered in the
cash balance book and drawn closing balance of cash.
Opening Balance + Receipts - Payments = closing Balance.
This is very important department because cash is the most liquid asset
and mostly frauds are made in this department, therefore, extra care is
taken in this department and nobody is allowed to enter or leave the
area freely. Mostly, cash area is grilled and its door is under
supervision of the head of that department. All the books maintained in
this department are checked by an officer.
DEPOSIT DEPARTMENT
Bank deals in money and they are merely mobilizing funds within the
economy. They borrow from one person and lend to another, the difference
between the rate of borrowing lending forms their spread or gross
profit. Therefore we can rightly state that deposits are the blood of
the bank which causes the body of an institution to get to work. These
deposits are liability of the bank so from point of view of bank we can
refer to them as liabilities.
The total deposits of MCB are growing since its inauguration but after
privatization there is a sharp incline in over all deposits of the bank.
The increase in deposits is also a cause of increase on total number of
accounts; bank has progressed in both aspects.
TYPES OF DEPOSITS
Deposits can be segregated on two bases, one is the duration in which
there funds are expected to be with the bank and second is the cost of
getting these funds. So divide deposits in two classes according to
duration of deposits i.e.
1) Time deposits / liabilities
2) Demand deposits / liabilities
And on the basis of the cost to acquire these funds, a deposit can be
classified as any one of following four, High Cost Medium Cost, Low Cost
No Cost.
Banks has different kinds of deposit schemes in order to induce
deposits. These schemes are a mixture of the above mentioned two types
of deposits with an addition of different services & requirements such
as minimum balance' requirement, mode of transaction, basis for
calculation of profit, deductions, additional benefits, eligibility for
different groups.
In the similar fashion, MCB has a large variety of deposit schemes and
some of them are as follows:
CURRENT A/C (CD):
In this type of accounts the client is allowed to deposit or withdraw
money as and when he likes. He may, thus, deposits or withdraws money
several times in a day if he likes. There is also no restriction of
amount to be deposited or withdrawn. However, there is requirement of
minimum balance maintenance of Rs. 1000/-. Usually this type of account
is opened by the businessmen. No profit is paid by the bank and no
service charges are deducted by the bank on current deposits account.
These types of deposits are also exempt from compulsory deduction of
Zakat.
PLS SAVING BANK A/C (SA):
This type of account is for those persons who want to make small
savings'. This type of account is opened with a minimum deposit of Rs.
1000/-. Under this scheme deposits can be made only up to a-costing
amount and withdrawals are allowed twice a week or 8 times a month. If a
big amount is required a seven days notice is required before the
withdrawal. The profit is paid on these accounts on the minimum balance
during a month for the whole of that month. Zakat & other withholding
taxes are deducted as per rules of the government.
KUSHALI BACHAT A/C (KBA):
This is an advance form of PLS saving a/c, in this type of account. The
minimum balance requirement for this type is Rs. 2500/-. There is also
restriction on the number of withdrawals as well, i.e. up to 4 times in
a calendar month. For maintaining this extra balance the customer gets
the benefits of profit calculation on daily product basis and also free
service of standing instructions of paying utility bills and HBFC
installments. All other rules of saving account are applicable.
PLS 365 SAVING A/C:
This is a special type of saving account in which customer maintains a
minimum balance of Rs. 300,000- and in turn he gets the benefits of
daily profit calculations and also there is no restriction on the
maximum number of withdrawals as was there in the case of KBA. There is
also another advantage of this scheme that if balance on a particular
day falls below the minimum balance then only the product of that day is
ignored whereas in KBA, if balance falls below the minimum limit then
all the products for that month are ignored on in other words no profit
is paid for that month.
NOTE:
PLS Saving, Kushali Bachat & PLS 365 saving accounts can be opened in
foreign currency also. Before nuclear tests of 1998 these accounts were
opened in four major currencies but now these are only opened in USD
($). However, now bank discourages the opening of foreign currency
accounts because no forward cover risk is provided by State Bank of
Pakistan (SBP) and all the loss in case of devaluation or depreciation
in local currency has to be born by bank himself. This increase in cost
has left foreign currency account of no use, therefore, now bank prefers
to accept deposits in local currency rather in foreign exchange.
KHANUM BACHAT SCHEME:
This is a type of term deposit, in this type of deposit an account is
deposited and monthly payments of Rs. 1000/- are made by the account
holder in this account for a minimum of 10 years. After the expiry of
term, he receives his funds along with profit for the tenor. The
distinctive feature of this product is that profit is calculated on
monthly basis and charged to account on end of each half /ear. Then
profit is also calculated on that amount of profit which is credited to
the customer's account. So we can say that in this type of account there
is a concept of accumulated profits on profit. This ends in getting a
heavy return for the depositor at the end of tenor for his small
savings. This product was actually introduced to promote saving habits
in the people. Zakat and withholding taxes are deducted as per rules
only at the time of maturity while making payment to the customer.
HAJJ MUBARIK SCHEME:
This is also very closely related with Khanum Bachat scheme. This was
designed to help the persons who are willing to offer Hajj but are
unable to save required funds. In this deposit schemes, 2 or 3 years
agreement is entered with a customer. During this time he keeps on
depositing monthly deposits and his account is charged with the
accumulated profits calculated on 6 monthly basis. The scheme is so
designed that total amount to be received at the end of this scheme
comes equal to the anticipated cost of offering Hajj at the end of
tenor. Zakat & withholding tax are deducted at the time of payment.
MONTHLY KUSHALI SCHEME:
This scheme is similar to CGC in the sense that an initial deposit is
made in this case also but instead of lump sum payment at the end of the
tenor, the person gets a monthly profit on his deposits. Under this
scheme, the bank has guaranteed minimum rate of 1% per month but usually
this rate is more than 1% per month. Zakat & withholding tax are
calculated as per rules laid down by the government.
PLS TERM DEPOSIT RECEIPTS (TDR’S)
This is a type of term deposit in which a receipt is issued for varying
tenors ranging from 1 month to 5 years or more. These are in the form of
receipts and profit on these receipts is paid biannually. These receipts
are encashable after expiry of the period for which they were issued.
Different profit rates are applied to different type of TDRs.
SPECIAL NOTICE DEPOSITS (SND):
Under this deposit scheme, a deposit is received from the depositor
under the condition that he will intimate the bank before a certain
period in case of withdrawals. There are two types of SNDs, they are 7
days and 30 days notice deposits. The profit is paid on these deposits
but it is nearly equivalent to saving account rate.
FUNCTIONS
This was a brief review of different types of deposit schemes. The
Deposit Department handles the account opening, profit payment and
accounting of all types of deposit schemes.
ACCOUNT OPENING:
Account opening is an agreement in which customer offers his funds and
bank accepts these funds, therefore the nature of relation between a
banker and customer is of a contractual one and all the conditions
applicable to this contract act are also applicable.
PROCEDURE FOR OPENING:
Procedure for opening of account is as follows:
A person, who wants to open any kind of account, has to fill in a
printed form which is provided by the bank, free of cost. Separate
account opening forms are used for different types of accounts.
Bank usually requires that new depositor must be introduced by some one.
An introducer can be any person known to the bank but preferably it
should be a customer of the bank. However, the manager can open the
account by his own introduction.
If the manager is satisfied, it will obtain the full signature of the
customer- on the form and specimen signature card, makes the first
deposit, and issues the cheque book.
The following are given to the customers:
Pay-in-slip is the proof of deposit. For every payment which is. to be
deposited in the bank, the pay-in-slip is to be filled up. The object of
this book is to provide the customer with the bank's acknowledgment for
receipt of money to be credited this account.
Cheque Book contains a number of cheques. It enables a customer to make
withdrawal from this account or make payment of various parties by issue
of cheque.
Pass Book is a copy of the customers account as appears in the books of
the bank. Balance is recorded in this book by the Clerk.
NOTE:
1) In case of partnership account partnership deed should be attached.
2) In case of companies memorandum and article of association,
certificate of incorporation, certificates for commencement of business,
list of directors and board resolution for opening of account is also
obtained from the customer.
3) Accounts of Trusts, Executors & Administrators can also be opened but
with the prior approval of the Head Office.
Profit payment & calculation is done in accordance with the rules of
each type of deposit scheme-by the deposit department. The products for
each deposit scheme are calculated separately and added till the end of
6 month period. Then the sum total of these products is multiplied with
the respective profit rates which are issued by the Head Office at the
end of each half yearly closing. The profit provisions for each type of
deposits are also calculated on monthly basis by the same department in
order to calculate the net profit or loss position of the branch.
Accounting entries are also made in the respective books of account by
this department. However, in small and medium size branches, the
accountant performs the book keeping duties for all kinds of ledgers.
CLEARING DEPARTMENT
Every banker acts both as a paying as well as a collecting banker, It is
however an important function of crossed cheques. A large part of this
work is carried out through the bankers clearing house.
A clearing house is a place where representative of all banks of the
city get together and settle the receipts and payment of cheques drawn
on each other. As the collecting banker runs certain risks in receipt of
their ownership the law has provided certain protections to the banks.
The Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881, lays down hat drawer or holder of a

further lies down that a crossed cheque can only be paid to a banker,
who collects it for a customer in good faith and without negligence.

also giving full attention towards this aspect and it is also obvious
from the growing portfolio of advances and from very low delinquency
rate. The credit portfolio of this institution is in a very much better
shape than other financial institutions of Pakistan and the credit goes
to the management and the staff who are concerned about the quantity and
quality as well.
1) Loans
2) Cash Credits
3) Overdraft
1) LOANS:
Loans are monetary assistance by a financial institution to a business,
individual etc. The loans are granted by the bank in lump sum, so these
types called fixed or demand loans. Interest is charged on the whole
amount of a fixed loan.
The borrower withdraws whole the amount of loan. This type of loan is
normally granted against security of gold documents.
In case of demand loans against gold or documents, a demand promissory
note for the amount of loan is taken from the borrower loans are granted
under;
A) LOAN AGAINST GOLD:
Under this type of loan, which is granted to the borrower the Head
Cashier estimates the value of Gold or Gold ornaments through an agent
(Gold smith) and keeps a margin of 40 to 50 percent. After the opening
the gold loan account a token is given to the borrower, which is a bank
receipt.
On repayment of loan, the gold or ornaments held as security for it,
together with the demand promissory note duly discharged is returned to
the borrower and his receipt for the gold ornament taken in the demand
loan ledger. This receipts states that he ornaments returned are
complete and in order. Part delivery of ornaments is given against part
payment of a loan but care is taken that the ornaments still in banks
possession fully covers the balance of the loan outstanding. The
interest gold loan is to be applied with quarterly.
B) LOAN AGAINST PLEDGED OF STOCK:
In case of advancing such types of loans, the following precautions are
dept in the mind:
i) Stock pledged must be readily saleable
ii) Products should be readily saleable
iii) Advance should be within the borrows means
REQUIREMENT FOR LOAN:
For granting loan to any party or individual, the bank checks following
particulars of the client:
1) Credibility
2) Feasibility Report
By Credibility, bank Judges the credibility of the client by his past
bank record, CBI report etc. it is very important in making decision
about giving him loan.
Feasibility report is on the running or proposed business of the client.
The report enables the bank to judge the likely return of the business.
2) CASH CREDIT
Cinder such cash account is opened in the name of the customer who
borrows from the bank. Customer is granted a loan up to a certain limit,
sanctioned by the head office, from which he can draw when he requires
and interest is charged on the amount actually utilized by the customer.
In order to avoid the danger of idle fund, the bank charges a certain
rate of interest, even if the customer does not withdraw any amount. The
rate charged by the bank on cash credit in 46 paisa per thousand on
daily basis.
The credit is usually given against the securities of goods or
merchandize as follows:
1. ADVANCES AGAINST PLEDGE STOCK IN TRADE OR PRODUCTS
When a cash is granted against the pledge of stock or product, cash
credit form is taken, from the certain products or stock, but the actual
pledge is created when the stock or finished product are placed under
the bank's lock or the document of title are duly endorsed to the bank
by the borrower.
2. HYPOTHECATION OF STOCK ON FINISHED PRODUCTS:
The difference between pledge and hypothecation is that under a pledge
the borrower's goods are placed in the bank's possession under own lock,
whereas, under a hypothecation, they remain in the possession of the
borrower or guarantor and are merely charged to the bank under documents
signed by them. Even though the documents empower the bank to take
possession of the goods hypothecated, but it is possible that the
borrower may actually resist any attempt.

collateral security or alternatively as unauthorized security.

transact in one's account without intervention of humans. These machines
are basically used for taking cash, confirming balances and requesting
statements / cheque books.
MCB has the largest ATM network in the country at the moment with almost
one ATM at each online branch and also ATM terminals at International

WORK DONE BY ME
In the Muslim Commercial Bank Ltd. I really enjoyed working with the
staff of Ghalla Mandi Branch Renala Khurd and having a wish to be
employee of MCB. It was almost impossible to work in all the departments
within that limited time. But on my request, the staff of the branch
provided me the opportunity to work in the different departments for the
sake of practical knowledge. I feel highly indebted to work in the Renal
Khurd Branch on the request of the manager of that branch Ch. Abdul
Sattar, because I learnt a lot in that branch.
During my internship training in the MCB as I early mentioned that I
have worked in different departments & seats and learnt the followings.
UTILITY BILLS COLLECTION
Muslim Commercial Bank Ltd. collects utility bills on behalf of WAPDA,
Sui Gas Companies, and Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation Limited by
putting the stamp on the utility bills “Paid”, Date of payment,
Signature of the officer receiving the utility bills. After receiving
utility bills a list is made on the form which is called Bills scroll
form. One copy of the scroll is with the bank for evidence whereas the
original copy with the receipt of the bills is sent to the billing
department of the respective corporation. The bank charge commission on
the bills.
OPENING NEW ACCOUNT BASICS
During the span of mine internship in MCB I learned and observed a lot
of about the opening of an account. Basically I think that the opening
of an account is the establishment of a contractual relationship between
the banker and the customer. By opening an account at a bank a person
becomes a ‘customer’ of a bank. Further I am going to express the basic
requirements and steps involved in the opening of an account.
INVESTIGATION
Before opening an account MCB as like the other banks in Pakistan
ascertain whether or not the person who is going to open the account is
a desirable customer or not. Then MCB determine the prospective
customer’s integrity, respectability, occupation and the nature of
business by the introductory references given at the time of account
opening. Negligence in this informal preliminary investigation may
result in serious consequences not only for the banker concerned
directly but also for other bankers and the general public who may be
affected indirectly. In Ladbroke & Co. V Todd (1914), the banker did not
obtain introduction at the time of opening the account, and it was
construed a negligence within Section 82 of the Bills of Exchange Act
1882.
In order to further strengthen and streamline this process, the Federal
Ombudsman of Pakistan, vide his ruling on complaint No. II/31/5186, has
directed the banks to retain with the account opening form a Photostat
copy each of the National Identity Cards of the person desiring to open
an account as well as that of the introducer. As per these directions,
the concerned Branch Managers are required to obtain the original
National Identity Cards along with their Photostat copies and then
return the original after attesting the authenticity of the retained
copy.
HOW TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT (IN GENERAL)
Before opening an account in MCB I observed that the following points
must be considered in this regard.
1. Another account holder of the bank should properly introduce the new
customer.
2. The account holder should sign the account opening form in the
presence of bank officer and the signature is duly verified.
3. A copy of identity Card is required by Bank.
4. Against submission of the Bank’s prescribed application form, duly
introduced in the manner provided and on supplying such document, as may
be required and account may be opened. The Bank reserves to itself the
right to refuse to open and account without assigning any reason.
5. Each account shall be allotted a distinct number that is to be quoted
in all correspondence with the bank relation to the account.
6. Minimum amount to open an account is required regarding the nature of
account.
PROCEDURE TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT
According to my practice in MCB, when a customer wants to open an
account, the bank officer gives him an application form. All
information, which is necessary to be known by the bank, are
requirements of the application form. Form also requires the essential
documents to be attached by the customer.
Basically following information is required to open an account with MCB
1. Title of Account
2. Full Name of Applicant
3. Occupation
4. Address
5. Telephone No.
6. Currency of account
7. Nature of Business
8. Introducer’s Name, Address & Signatures
9. Special instruction regarding the account
10. Initial Amount of the Deposit
11. Signature of the applicant

More than Rs.40000 @0.4%
Commission and postage charges are also calculated. These are paid in
cash or otherwise by cheque.
ISSUANCE OF CHEQUE BOOK
During my period of internship in MCB i observed that when a account is
opened then a cheque is issued to thecustomer for drawing his money at
per rules. Following procedure is adopting for the issuance of cheque.
When a customer opens an account with the bank, he is provided with
cheque book for withdrawals from account. However, the first cheque book
is given to the customer only when all the required documents are
checked. A cheque book contains ten, twenty five, fifty or hundred
leaves. The cheque book also carries a requisition slip for the issuance
of the new cheque book. This slip is duly filled and singed by the
customer. The signature of the customer is verified by the bank and new
cheque book is issued to the customer and serial numbers of the cheque
are duly entered in the book of the bank. Along with the signature,
person should also write his full name & address.
Usually only one cheque book is issued at a time, however big concerns
who need a number of cheque books at a time, may ask the bank to stock
as number of cheque books in their name and to point their name on these
cheque books.
Bank debits the client’s account for excise duty of Rs.2.50/- per cheque
and keeps the cheque book ready for the customer, as on his advice.
The officer keeps and maintains the cheque book register Cheque book
inventory and cheque books issued are recorded in this register. The
account number for which the cheque book is issued and the number of
leaves are also recorded in this register when the cheque book issued an
entry is passed in the cheque book issue register.

HORIZONTAL ANALYSIS
COMMENTS
■ Cash is increased in 2001 but decrease in 2002; it shows that the
liquidity position of the bank is going to be weak, so it is alarming
sign for the bank. Therefore bank should take necessary steps according
to the position.
■ There is decreasing trend in balance with other banks which is a
negative sign.
■ Increase in money at call and short notice, it means that customers of
bank are very punctual in making payments. Therefore it is good sign for
the bank.
■ In the field of investment there is increasing trend with the passage
of time. It is common term of finance” more investment more return.
■ As we know that main source of profit of a bank is the difference
between the percentages of interest, Banks pay less rate of interest
than receiving the interest from the customers. In this case advance to
customers very low in 2001 but increase in 2002. It means that MCB is
running very well.
■ MCB is in a position that it is earning more and more profit with
passage of time. Then bank can purchase more and more fixed assets, and
it is bank is doing. Assets of the banks are increasing day by day by
purchasing the assets. More assets mean that bank has more capacity to
pay off its liabilities. There is increasing trend in field of fixed
assets. It is due to purchase of new assets.
■ Other assets have a decreasing trend which is not a positive sign.
Decrease in assets decrease the worth of organization
LIABILITIES
■ There is increasing trend in deposits and other accounts which shows
the credibility of the bank.
■ Borrowing is decreasing in 2001 but there is increasing trend in the
year 2002. Although it is seeing that bank’s borrowing is increasing
with the passage of time which is not a good sign but there is a
positive thing in this behalf, usually banks borrow money at that time
when they would have to give it for earning more profit, I think the
Muslim Commercial Bank doing the same thing for increasing its profits.
■ Bills payable increase in 2001 but decrease in 2002 positive sign.
■ Other liability has an increasing trend not good because increase in
liability decreases the liquidity position of the bank.
■ Share capital increase that shows the creditability of bank.
■ The Muslim Commercial Bank Limited is increasing its reserves and
Un-appropriated profit in order to increase its lending power, which is
good sign, because according to the prudential regulations of State Bank
of Pakistan, a bank can lend money (per party exposure) equal to the 30%
of its assigned capital plus reserves.

PROFIT AND LOSS A/C
HORIZONTAL ANALYSIS
INCOME
■ Interest income decrease in 2002 will great proposition which is not
favorable. It means that interest received by the bank is decreasing
with the passage of time. It is not good for a banking company.
■ As we all know that banks provide many services for their customers
and also act as a agent of the customer. The banks receive fee and
commission after their services; it is a main source of bank to receive
fee and commission from their customers. In case bank is taking more
fees as compared to previous years. This is good for the bank.
■ In foreign currency dealing and dividend there is huge increasing
trend which shows the investment of bank in healthy organization.
■ Other income decrease in 2001 but this increase mean positive
situation.
EXPENSE
■ Return on deposit decreases which shows good sign and it is due to
decrease in return rate.
■ Adm and diminution and provision against non performing loan
decreasing turned that is favorable.
■ Bad debts increased with huge amount not positive sign.
■ Profit before taxation has increased with greater proportion.
■ Tax increases which are not bad because it is interrelated with
profit, if profit increased, tax also increase.
VERTICAL ANALYSIS
INCOME
■ Interest earned decrease which is negative sign.
■ As we know that banks provide many facilities other than money lending
and borrowing. Banks receive fee, commission etc. for these services.
Therefore fee and commission income are increasing which is good and
favorable signs.
■ Divided income increased but it is very small.
■ Other income increase with great proportion good sign.
EXPENSES
■ Return on deposit decrease good sign because it increases the profit.
■ Administration expenses are increased but no alarming rate.
■ Position against non performing loan us zero which show bank have good
customer.
■ All provision is zero which sows the good credit policy.
■ Bad debt and other charges increased but the situation is not
alarming.
■ Profit increased.
■ Tax is increased but it is interrelated with profit.
OVERALL REVIEW
The Bank has now completed more than 12 years, since its privatization
and it is, indeed, gratifying to note that during this period, MCB has
performed well and has sustained its growth in all the major sectors.
The well deserved credit, for this good performance and progress, must
surely go to the Bank’s management, its Directors and, in no small
measure, to the entire MCB team for its dedication, concerted efforts
and excellent team spirit.
MCB has been a pioneer among the banks in Pakistan, particularly in
introducing a number of innovative banking products and services. For
the first time in the history of Pakistan, these multifarious products
mostly in the shape of saving schemes have been introduced by MCB with
brand names. This has set the trend and many other banks, both local and
foreign, have since followed in MCB’s footsteps, by launching new
products and services, on similar lines.
RATIOS ANALYSIS
Ratio analysis is an important and age-old technique of financial
analysis. Ratios are important and helpful in the reference that:
¶ These simplify the comprehension of financial statement and tell the
whole story of changes in the financial conditions of the business.
¶ These provide data for inter-firm comparison. The ratios highlight the
factors associated with successful and unsuccessful firms, also reveal
strong and weak firms.
¶ These help in planning and forecasting these can assist management in
its basic functions of forecasting, planning, coordination and control.
¶ These help in investment decision in case of investor and lending
decision in case of Bankers etc.
However, the ratios are only indicators, they cannot be taken as final
regarding good or bad financial position of the business other things
have also to be seen.

1. RETURN ON EQUITY
This ratio is more meaningful for share holders who are interested to
know the profit earned by the company because the dividend paid from
available profit higher ratio means factor of production fully utilized
and good position. Here ratio is increased in 2001 but again decrease in
2002. And I think that the Bank improved its return on equity ratio in
the year 2001. But it again fall down in the year 2002, which is an
alarming sign for the Bank.
2. RETURN ON ASSETS
This ratio has an increasing trend. It means the assets of the business
are fully utilized in more and efficient way and also shows the
favorable trend of the business. This ratio of the bank was too low in
the year 2000, but it improved in the year 2001, and it was much good in
the year 2002.
3. EARNING PER SHARE
This ratio got really improved as it has gone with the increase in
profit. Earning per share is a good measure of profitability when
compared with similar other business. Here increasing EPS, which will
surely increase share price. This ratio has the same trend as the return
on the assets. And is improving in the every succeeding year.
4. RETURN ON DEPOSIT
Return on deposit is increasing trend which is favorable. This ratio
shows with the increase of deposit the profit margin also increases.
Increase in return on deposit is positive sign. This ratio has the same
trend as the above mentioned ratio of return on equity has which is a
good sign for the Bank.
5. CASH / DEPOSIT RATIO
Cash deposits ratio means liquidity position of the bank. This ratio is
very low means that Bank has no idle fund but even low ratio bank has
not liquidity problems. Bank meets all its financial problems. This
shows the strategic policy of the bank and efficiency of the bank.
6. TOTAL ASSETS / NET WORTH
This ratio shows the decreasing trend. But it is not had position
because net worth of the bank increasing day by day. Increase in net
worth shows that bank is on sound footing. And I think that this will
provide benefit to the bank in the long run.
7. TOTAL DEPOSIT / NET WORTH
This ratio has also decreasing trend but decreasing is due to increase
in net worth. And it will provide benefit to the Bank in the long run
and in the coming years.
8. SOLVENCY RATIO
This ratio shows that the assets of the bank have increased more as
compared to its liability which is good effect on the solvency of the
bank. Solvency means the ability to meet its obligation: with the
passage of time it is increasing which is good sign.
9. INTEREST EXPENSE / TOTAL EXPENSE RATIO
A decrease figure shows that deposits are getting low. The reason is the
decrease in the return on deposit. When decrease return then people
prefer to invest in business for more earning. This decrease in the
interest expenses is due to the decrease in the borrowings of the bank.
or it might be due to decrease in the payable interest rate to the
lenders.
10. INTEREST INCOME / TOTAL INCOME RATIO
A little decrease figure rather than stagnant figure showing same amount
of income generation. Although the rate of markup come down but it has
no bad effect on the earnings of the bank. This ratio shows that
interest income as compared to the total income of the bank is
decreasing. But it does not mean that it is a bad effect. Because it
might be due to increase in the other Income of the bank which is too a
Good affect for the bank.
11. NET PROFIT MARGIN
This is being improved yearly. Although bank is earning huge income but
its expenses increased quite a bit simultaneously. Ultimately result is
increase in the net profit of the bank. And it means that bank has an
improving trend from the point of view of the income and will be
improving in the coming years.
12. AVERAGE PROFIT PER BRANCH
The average profit per branch is increasing rapidly every year. It is
healthy good and encouraging for bank. This ratio of the bank shows that
it profit of the branches is increasing in the coming years. if it was
one time in the year 2000, then it was two time in the year 2001 and
three times in the year 2002.
RECOMMENDATION
From the Quantum of the profit and its financial data it can be easily
judged that after privatization, MUSLIM COMMERCIAL BANK is performing
well. Its deposits are growing day by day and so its profitability. The
controlling body is responsible for the productive performance of the
Bank.
Following are my observation and suggestion to improve the efficiency
for the development of the economy.
A big portion of the home remittance is sent by Pakistan working capital
through Muslim Commercial Bank Limited. As we know a big portion of this
amount is wasted purchasing of luxuries. The people motivated to save
money by offering the deposit through various investment schemes. The
rate of profit should increase 1% or 2% than other banks and it would be
profitable step for bank.
There is a criticism on the banking management that the salaries of the
employees are decreasing in every succeeding year. And I think this will
shake the confidence and working habit of the employees.
There is another recommendation about the bank that there is no proper
timing of the bank and there is made an unnecessary delay in the banking
transactions, which might not be a good sign for the bank from future
prosperity point of view.
Staff turnover particularly of trained staff result in financial and
other losses. The amount spent by the bank on employment, induction and
training of outgoing officers constitutes to beat till another officer
should ready prove this work. The exodus of bank officer in the past has
worsened the situation.
Most of the bank employees, are sticking to one seat only with the
result that they become master of one particular job and loose their
grip on other banking operation. In my opinion all the employees should
have regular job experience all out-look towards banking. The promotion
policy should be adjusted.
Refresher Courses for the staff are most important in any international
organization. Alt the employees should have these courses according to
their requirement. Foreign experts can also be called for this purpose.
Every year some of the employees should be sent for training to other
countries and employees from other branches should be brought here. Some
more reading material should be provided. The purpose should be to
educate the employees with the advance studies in their field. The
employee should be provided the opportunities to attend and participate
in seminars and lectures on banking.
Bank should give some more incentive to its employees in order to remove
the conflict between lower and higher officers and should try to improve
the working condition of the bank.
As such system should be designed that every employee who has some
problems with his officers can communicate it to the higher management
and some steps must be taken to improve that.
Recruitments should be strictly on merit basis and induction should be
after proper and extensive training.
Old and lazy staff should be replaced by young, qualified and energetic
staff.
Foreign branches should be opened in order to capture the international
market and to earn international repute for the bank.
Working environment, equipment, furniture and staff dressing should be
according to the modern banking style.
Proper attention should be paid to upgrade customer services.
Bank should adopt the global organizational banking structure to meet
the international standards of banking sector.
CONCLUSION
It is evident from this report and the financial statements of MCB that
it is making progress by leaps and bounds. The profits of MCB have grown
considerably during the last few years and this trend is expected to
continue into the future. Therefore, we conclude that MCB has a very
prosperous present and future, which assures the shareholders of wealth
maximization. Side by side of it I think that if bank would be able to
cover and control on the above mentioned recommendations then it would
be in such a situation that will really lead it towards the road of
prosperity, development and integrity. And with the above mentioned
sentences I think there is too fault of the customers and in order to
make the proper working of the bank the customers should also cooperate
with the bank which will be really a good, ambitious and diligent
condition for the bank. And then bank will be really in such a situation
and position to compete its competitors in the country as well as on
international level.
