Practice makes a man perfect. Theoretical knowledge is not enough on its own.
It is useful when implemented. Thats why it is necessary for completion of BBA
program to do practical work. Internship program is also held in every
management institution to support the same purpose.
Banking plays very important role in the development of commerce and
economic fields of a country. As banks are using different modern and up to
date technologies in order to perform well and influence different managerial
activities, it is a better option for business students to get internship experience
in banks.
I did five weeks internship in MCB BANK Model Town Branch, Bahawalpur.
During this time I visited different departments and was thoroughly briefed
about the procedures and working by friendly senior staff of there.
In preparation of this Report I have tried my best to provide all possible
information about the operations, functions and tasks of MCB in brief and
comprehensive form. It also includes a brief view of what I did during
internship.
Internship report ends with some recommendations and concluding remarks
after identification of problems that I observed during internship. Although I
have put all my efforts but surely there are chances for mistakes, suggestions
are welcomed.

I offer my foremost and humblest thanks to ALMIGHTY ALLAH, The most
Beneficent, the Most Considerate and the entire source of all knowledge and

Internship report efficiently and successfully.
With prayers of my parents and support of my teachers it became possible for
me to formulate this report; I pay high regards to them.
The account of acknowledgement will be incomplete if I do not express my
appreciation to the staff of MCB Model Town branch Bahawalpur, as they
guided me and assisted me to perform different productive activities during the
entire period
I am also thankful to my friends and other family members who were always
there to encourage and help me design this report to its present form.

1. INTRODUCTION OF BANKS
History of bank is as old as human society. Forever since man came to realize the importance of
money as medium of exchange, the necessity of a controlling or regulating agency or institution
was naturally felt.
The work BANK is derived from the word BANCUS or BANQUE which means a bench.
Other authorities hold the opinion the word BANK is derived from the German word BACK
which means joint stock fund. Later on, when the Germans occupied major part of Italy, the
word BACK was Italianized into BANK.
Modern banking system was introduced into the Muslim countries at a time when they were
politically and economically at low ebb, in the late 19th century. The main banks in the home
countries of the imperial powers established local branches in the capitals of the subject countries
and they catered mainly to the import export requirements of the foreign businesses. The banks
were generally confined to the capital cities and the local population remained largely untouched
by the banking system. The local trading community avoided the foreign banks both for
patriotic as well as religious reasons. However, as time went on it became difficult to engage in
trade and other activities without making use of commercial banks. Even then many confined their
involvement to transaction activities such as current accounts and money transfers. Borrowing
from the banks and depositing their savings with the bank were strictly avoided in order to keep
away from dealing in interest which is prohibited by religion.
However with the passage of time and other socio-economic forces demanding more involvement
in national economic and financial activities, avoiding the interaction with the banks became
impossible. Local banks were established on the same lines as the interest- based foreign banks for
want of another system and they began to expand within the country bringing the banking system
to more local people.
As countries became independent the need to engage in banking activities became unavoidable
and urgent. Governments, businesses and individuals began to transact business with the banks,
with or without liking it. This state of affairs drew the attention and concern of Muslim
intellectuals. The story of interest-free or Islamic banking begins here. In the following paragraphs
we will trace this story to date and examine how far and how successfully their concerns have
been addressed.

Page 11
What is bank?
There are many definitions of the word "bank". Even the standard encyclopedia and law books
find it difficult to state exactly what a bank is. There have been many attempts by different writers
to explain the exact definition of the term bank.
Here some of the definitions are quoted as follows.
According to Negotiable Instruments Act (1881):
Bank is an institution transecting 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 cheques, draft order or otherwise and includes any post office saving bank
According to Banking Companies Ordinance 1962:
Banking means the accepting for the purpose of lending or investing of deposits of money from
the public repayable in demand or otherwise and withdraw able by cheques, draft, order or
otherwise.
According to Kent:
An organization whose principle operations are concerned with the accumulation of the
temporarily idle money of the general public for the purpose of advancing to others for
expenditures.
According to Dr. Harts:
A banker is one who in the ordinary course of his business, receives money which he repays by
honoring cheques of persons from whom or on whose account he received it.
So the comprehensive definition of bank is:
A bank is a financial institution, which deals with money and credit. It accepts deposits from
individuals, firm and companies at a lower rate of interest and gives at a higher rate of interest
those who need them. The difference between the terms at which it borrows and those at which it
lends from the source is its profit. A bank, thus, is a profit earning institution.

2. BRIEF HISTORY OF BANKING IN PAKISTAN
Pakistan came into being on 14th August, 1947; sufficient banking services were available in the
areas forming Pakistan. Out of the total branches of the nearly 3,500 in the undivided India, as
many as about 1,500 branches were existing in these areas. It was agreed between the two
countries that reserve bank of India shall continue to function in the Pakistan territory until 30th
September 1948 and that Indian notes would continue to be legal tender at Pakistan until 30th
September 1948. Unfortunately, rel ationship between the two countries became most
strained i mmedi at el y af t er i ndependence; banki ng was mos t l y i n t he hands
of Hi ndus who i mmedi at el y s t ar t ed transferring their offices and assets into India. As a
result most of the banks in Pakistan were closed down and even those which were open were not
doing any effective business. The number of banking office in Pakistan came down to
about 200 on 30th June 1948. Branches of some European banks were also functioning in a
limited manner, financing in export of crops, and their number was limited to about 20. It was
only the Habib bank, which transferred its office from Bombay to Karachi. Australasia bank was
another bank, which was in existence in the Pakistan territory at the time of independence. Despite
of best efforts on the part of government of Pakistan, no heady way could be made on this behalf
and reserve bank of India was in no mood to help the new country. Imperial bank of India, agent
of the Reserve bank of India also started closing down its branches in Pakistan. Reserve bank also
refused to advance money to Pakistan to make essential payments such as salaries etc.; also
Pakistans share of Rs.75 billion in cash balance was withheld by bank, causing hardships to the
newly born state. In view of these hopeless state affairs it was agreed between the two
countries that Reserve bank would serve as monetary authority in Pakistan only up to 30th
June 1948.
2.1 Nationalization of Banks
The government nationalized all Pakistani banks on January 1, 1974. The principle of
nationalization of banks was to stream line the operations of commercial banks in such a way that
it may be conductive to the development activities in process in the country. Since the
commercial banks were owned and controlled by big business groups of the country
it was feared that these banks would not maintain uniformity in their operations and
would be instrumental to inflationary pressure. However, the considerations behind
nationalization are:

Page 13
1. To form uniformity in the policy of the commercial banks so they may serve the best national
interest.
2 . To make the operation of commercial banks highly sensitive and responsive to the policy of
the government relation to financial matters.
3. To make the credit policy of the commercial banks more purpose full and effective especially in
the development of economic sectors of the country. It acts as an agent of the State Bank of
Pakistan
4. To make the best use of the funds available at the disposal of these banks for the economic
development of the country.
5. To eliminate unhealthy and uneconomic competition among commercial banks.
6. To develop strong money market in the country so that the value of currency may be maintained
at stable level both in national facilities to exporter and agriculturists which have not been
satisfactory in the past years.

In MCB Model Town branch, following departments are found working.
1. Customer Services
2. Clearing
3. Remittance
4. Forex
5. Advances
6. Assurance
Brief discretion of departments is given under where I have performed.
10.1 Customer Services Department
I spent almost a week at customer services desk. All the necessary activities to better serve the
customers are performed here. At this desk, I learnt to first of all behave well with the customers
as these are the biggest asset of organization in this world of neck to neck competition. Different
functions that are performed at CS desk include filling the deposits slips for customers, filling the
vouchers for remittance purpose i.e. DD, PO, online money transfer etc. Moreover the account
opening form is also filled at this desk by the customers, checque requisition slip for acquiring
cheque books, ATM application form, reactivation of dormant account form are also filled at this
desk. Few activities including Account opening, account closing, and reactivation of dormant
accounts are performed in collaboration with operations department at MCB Model Town branch,
because these include the use of computer network by Operations Manager. General help and

Page 33
guidance is provided to customers relating their problems. Any sort of information regarding any
issue or product is provided at this desk.
I learnt all these things in very friendly and stress free environment. It was a good experience
spending time at this desk. I observed that the behavior of customer service officers is very good
and appreciable with customers that is a source of satisfaction for customers and is helpful in
increasing goodwill of bank and generating a positive word of mouth.
10.2 Clearing
Fund transfer between two banks and branches via checques is called clearing.
There are mainly two types of clearing:
Outward clearing
Inward clearing
10.2.1 Outward clearing
Outward clearing is to send the cheques to other banks. When the account holder of our bank
receives payment from any other party in the form of cheque, and that cheque is not of our bank or
branch, and our account holder deposits it in his MCB account then that cheque has to pass from
the process of outward clearing.
All the cheques deposited in one day of other banks are then sent through the NIFT to the SBP
which sends them to the head offices of their respective banks which through NIFT sends the
instruments to the respective branches from which they were issued either if they are passed or
held to be bounce. This process of outward clearing is exactly opposite to the process of inward
clearing.
10.2.2 In ward Clearing
In the morning time banker receives the inward clearing from the NIFT employee and counts the
instruments which are received and match it with the summary which is also attached with these
instruments. Then banker posts these instruments, either by himself or hand over those to
computer operator. After posting all these instruments, they are manually entered in the clearing
sheet in its Debit side.
There are other three types of clearing:

Page 34
1. Same day clearing
2. Normal clearing
3. Intercity clearing
10.2.3 Same day clearing
In same day clearing cheque is sent in the morning and payment is received in evening. Same day
clearing involve two conditions:
Cheque will be of Rs. 500000 or above (although it is not strictly followed).
Bank should be the member of the same day.
10.2.4 Normal clearing
In normal clearing cheque is sent in present day and payment is received next day. No condition is
imposed in normal clearing.
10.2.5 Intercity clearing
There is the new concept of clearing which is named as intercity clearing. Clearing between two
cities is called intercity clearing. In intercity clearing cheque is cleared in two or three days. State
Bank of Pakistan has revised his policies and introduced this concept, in which cheques are
cleared that are of banks or branches located in other cities.
To understand the process of clearing we first need to understand and comprehend the workings
and the purpose of the state banks institution called NIFT.
10.2.6 NIFT- National Institutional Facilitation Technologies
In the process of clearing NIFT plays a very important role. NIFT (National Institutional
Facilitation Technologies) has a very vital role as it is the middle man in the process of clearing.
This institution performs the duties of receiving all the clearing cheques from all the branches of
all the banks and taking them to the State Bank. At the SBP, first the NIFT forms a list of all the
cheques from all the banks and then forwards it to the SBP representative. That person categorizes
all these cheques according to their respective banks and branches and forms another list of his
own. Then these sorted cheques are again given to the NIFT agent and he then takes them to the
head offices of their respective banks and from there they are distributed to the respective

Page 35
branches also through NIFT. This way NIFT delivers back all the cheques to their parent branch
from which they have been issued.
FLOW CHART OF WORKING OF NIFT

Memo on Returned Cheques
Also prepare the Memo on (S.F 16) in which the details of objections are given that for purpose
we return this instrument, and charge RS 200/- per instrument for cheque presented for outward
clearing and Rs. 300/- per instrument for cheque presented for inward clearing.
Calculate the Difference Vouchers of Clearing
Difference voucher means the difference between the Out ward Clearing and In Ward Clearing.
if liabilities are outstanding on MCB side then made Credit voucher
If liabilities are outstanding are on their side then made Debit Voucher

11. SWOT ANALYSIS

11.1 Strengths
It is mainly operated by Mansha's group, a very renowned industrial group in Pakistan. MCB
is working in Pakistan from very past as it has over 60 years of excellence and success. MCB
Bank comes under the category of one of the largest domestic commercial banks. It has a good
brand image in an Islamic country because of word "Muslim" in the name.
Overall performance of bank is increasing day by day. MCB is largest private bank in Pakistan
with around 1130 branches, which cover almost every area of Pakistan. All the branches are
online.
At present it has near about 600 ATM branches in Pakistan representing the largest ATM
network in the country. IT infrastructure and network of online branches is very efficient. The
launch of MCB switch allows other banks to utilize MCB's ATM network. MCB is also

Page 45
offering GPRS enabled banking. By introducing mobile banking, internet banking etc. it is
meeting global and latest technological changes.
It is a customer bank of more than 4.5 million customers. Strong customer relationship is
another strengthening factor for the bank. Wide variety of services is offered by the bank to its
customers. Customer default rate is lower as compared to other banks. Moreover MCB has
captured majority of potential customers in Pakistan. It has above 10,000 employees. The bank
has efficient and experienced management involved in decision making and bringing
significant changes. MCB bank has strong culture and has professional and committed
employees. Huge sums of money are invested on Human Resource development and training.
MCB is Market oriented bank. To attract greater market, banks major focus is on developing
new and innovative products. Another major strength of MCB is that it has very stable deposit
base. The bank is enjoying strong competitive advantage over other banks in Pakistan and
strong competitive profitability in the industry as well.
MCB has the accounts of big organizations like OGDCL, PTCL, EFU, PTC etc.
11.2 Weaknesses
Although Employees are professional and committed, they are not much satisfied with
their job. This dissatisfaction is mainly caused by ill treatment and improper reward
system. Promotions are not offered frequently. Employee turnover rate is high because
there lacks loyalty among employees. To give everyone equal protocol is lacking among
employees.
Although staff is proficient but unwilling to serve better during audit due to extreme
pressure put by the auditors. As most of the employees are young they have more
tendencies to switch the organization in order to seek better opportunities, to prohibit this
thing high motivation is required which is not dominant in MCB i.e. there is low
motivation level.
Customers face problem of NADRA verification while opening their accounts because its
process is time consuming and inefficient.

Page 46
Customers having account with small amounts are not given same services like dealing to
others who have high accounts of high amounts so we can sau there is partiality in
customer dealing.
Lack of decentralization. Banks is planning to restructure its departments and is going to
be centralized very soon. Decision making process is very slow.
Partiality and favoritism is seen in recruitment.
Though ATM network is the largest in Pakistan, still some potential areas dont have the
ATM.
MCB RTC is useable only in Pakistan.
Less efficiency of SYMBOL System due to dis connectivity.
11.3 Opportunities
As MCB is currently increasing its operations in global environment, there are chances for its
full globalization.
Because of rapid growth of technology at international level, there are better opportunities for
bank to move towards improved technology usage, this can help MCB serve its customers
better, anytime and anywhere.
Increase in Islamic banking operations can attract a good customer range for MCB which will
enhance the market share of the bank.
Offering customized and innovative products e.g. car financing, home financing has helped
bank secure a good range of loyal customer, being source of positive word of mouth.
There are more opportunities to open branches in rural areas so as to increase its branch
network and operations.
Frequent training sessions, free and fair promotions, better reward system can make employees
more committed to their work and dedicated to MCB.
Providing Agri finance facility to farmers has opened new doors of success and a new way to
build remarkable customer relationship for MCB.

Page 47
Announcing new loan schemes on regular basis can better meet customer requirements.
Continuous growth in leasing sector in Pakistan from past few years provides an opportunity
for MCB to grow in this area.
11.4 Threats
Global economic crisis has affected all the economies and financial sectors a lot, MCB is not
out of its range. People are losing their trust in banks.
In Pakistan, political system is highly unstable being a threat for MCB. Instability of Govt. and
govt. policies is another point to worry about by MCB.
War against terror in Pakistan and neighboring countries is the greatest threat of this time to
the whole economy and banking sector of Pakistan.
Continuously rising competition in banking sector is one of the major threats for MCB.
Establishment of many foreign banks in Pakistan is very threatening for all local banks
including MCB. The market share is mainly influenced by this phenomenon.
Market saturation, poor law and order situation, mergers and acquisitions in banking sectors,
involvement of foreign banks in foreign trade prove to be major threats for MCB.
Other private, commercial banks with sound profitability i.e. HBL, NBP are also a risk for
MCB.

12. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Financial analysis (also referred to as financial statement analysis or accounting analysis)
refers to an assessment of the viability, stability and profitability of a business.

Following are the ratios calculated (in order to do financial analysis) which represent the financial
position of the organization.

Page 49
12.1 CURRENT RATIO
= Current assets Current Liabilities
YEAR 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006
VALUE 0.92:1 0.90:1 0.88:1 0.86:1 0.88:1

INTERPRETATION
Current ratio measures the firms ability to meet its short-term obligations. This ratio for
MCB Bank is not good and indicates an alarming situation although there is overall
increase in this ratio from year 2006 to 2010 because the current portion of assets is
representing more increase than current portion of liabilities but its assets are still not
sufficient enough to pay its liabilities.

VALUE 0.92:1 0.89:1 0.87:1 0.86:1 0.87:1

INTERPRETATION
Quick ratio is the measure of liquidity of firm. Higher this ratio means more is the firm
liquid. The ratio should be greater than 1. This ratio for MCB Bank is not good indicating
that the banks liquidity is very less. Although an increasing trend is seen but the liquidity
state of bank is at dangerous level because cash and other liquid assets are making lesser
portion of total assets. (greater portion of total assets is seen in advances and investments.)

INTERPRETATION
Networking capital also measures the solvency of the firm. In case of MCB Bank, negative
values of Networking Capital for 5 years are seen which show that bank is not performing
well and current assets are not able to pay current liabilities.

VALUE 85.6% 85.8% 86.4% 86.0% 87.7%

INTERPRETATION
Debt ratio measures the proportion of its debt which finances assets of the firm. The
higher value of this ratio means that firm is using greater amount of peoples money to
generate profit. Increase in this value represents the higher risks for the firm. In case of
MCB Bank there is an overall decreasing trend although the value is still very high
indicating that more than half of its assets are financed by its debts.

INTERPRETATION
This ratio is concerned with both depositors and stockholders. More capital implies a
greater margin of safety, while a larger deposit base gives a prospect of higher return to
shareholders, since more money is available for investment purpose. For MCB Bank, there
is a decreasing trend in this ratio indicating that the deposits are lesser in coming years and
there are now less investment opportunities in MCB, less protection to stockholders is
seen. Lesser deposits base provides lesser investment return opportunities for the bank.

An increase in this ratio indicates the increased level of risk with regard to debt and
decreased liquidity. Talking about MCB Bank, there is a slight decrease in this ratio.
Higher values in past year depict that bank is not enough liquid to cover any unforeseen
fund requirements. A gradual decrease in this ratio is showing that bank is now generating
liquidity.

13. SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
After spending time at MCB MODEL TOWN Branch Bahawalpur, keenly observing the
functioning and management, I am able to find out some flaws in the working and management of
branch and want to make following recommendations regarding those issues and about what I
want to suggest after having SWOT and Financial analysis done about MCB Bank Limited.
About the branch I would like to first of all suggest that staff at MCB Model town branch is
crucially needed to be increased in number. According to my observation, there is less number of
employees working in the branch and the work load of each worker is high. This thing builds up
mental pressure and is a source of stress for employees.
Another thing recommended that there should be efficiency of the whole computer system, most
of the times it gets failed which is a soure of trouble for customers and very embarrassing for
employees when they say, come late, or visit another as system is not working properly.
Moreover there is only one tea boy in the branch. Everyone keeps on calling the same single
person all the time which creates a mess in a cool and smooth working environment and it gets
noisy and irritating.
I have also observed that customers have to wait for longer time because connection of computer
system with that of NADRA is also very poor. Most of the times, it does not work. There should
be efficiency and accuracy in it in order to better work and serve.
Most frequently and in greater no. the customers from rural areas visit the branch, they need more
and proper attention and guidance which is impossible to be paid by the CSOs because of heavy
work load. There should be proper division and management of tasks among employees.
Efficiency and working of ATM machine is also not so good. It needs to be more efficient than it
is now. Many customers complain about working of ATM machine at MCB Model Town Branch
Bahawalpur.

Page 68
Now there are some recommendations regarding MCB BANK LIMITED as a whole.
MCB in this age of hyper competition needs to launch new, innovative, flexible, unique and
reasonable products for its customers because products mainly offered are same as that of other
banks.
At MCB Bank, there is crucial need of print and electronic media to promote itself. There is no
advertisement of any of its product via any source these days. In this era of competition, you all
the time need to make your customers remember you and media is the best source for it.
Frequent training sessions and timely promotions can better retain and motivate employees as
employees also need better response from their organization. Recommended two are the best ways
to provide feedback and take care of employees by the organization.
Rewards system should fulfill the requirements of the employees.
Creativity and innovation should be really valued. The suggestions for change from employees
should be truly and timely valued and be asked for frequently in order to scratch and make use of
employees talent and abilities. To motivate them and other employees, their ideas should be
appreciated, told to others, and their practical application should be made possible as soon as it
can be.
More branches in rural areas should be opened and for ease and convenience of the customers of
those areas, who travel a lot to visit the branch in urban area in order to enjoy the services.
There should be timely job rotation of employees i.e. not so earlier and not so late, so that they
know about the working of all departments and are able to work at any desk in any contingent
situation i.e. if employee has left working in the bank or has taken long leave.

14. CONCLUSION
MCB Bank Limited (Formerly Muslim Commercial Bank) incorporated on July 9, 1947 by the
Adamjee Group was established to deliver banking facilities to the business community and genral
public of the South Asia. The bank was nationalized in 1974 during the government of Zulfikar
Ali Bhutto. This was the first bank to be privatized in 1991 and now it is mainly owned by Nishat
group. The president of the bank is M.U.A Usmani.
Mian Mohammad Mansha is the Chairman of the Nishat group and also of MCB. This man has
played vital role in its success. In order to recognize and value Mr. Manshas contribution, the
Government of Pakistan has conferred him with "Sitara-e-Imtiaz", which is one of the most
prestigious civil awards of the country.
Looking back at last fifteen years performance of the bank, it is evaluated that bank has paid keen
attention in many areas in order to boost up performance. Improvements in many departments is
brought by concentrating on service quality, investment in technology and people, using its
extensive branch network, developing large and stable deposit base.
MCB has over 1,150 branches which includes local branches, and business establishments in
SriLanka and Bahrain and newly established Rep. Office in Dubai, UAE. The Bank has also
formed a private company in partnership with Standard Chartered Bank in Hong Kong, to handle
trade transactions of selected countries in the Asia-Pacific region.
After its privatization, MCB has successfully turned its operations to better perform in competitive
environment and is continuously setting and achieving high performance standards with kind
support of customers and efficient leadership. To further strengthen its financial services base,
MCB has also incorporated an Asset Management Company in the year 2005 known as MCB
Asset Management Company. MCB has also incorporated a leasing company in Azerbaijan in
2009.
Fully Owned Subsidiaries of MCB are: Muslim Commercial Financial Services (Private)
Limited MNET Services (Private) Limited MCB Trade Services Limited MCB Asset
Management Company Limited MCB leasing (Closed Joint Stock Company) The Bank has

Page 70
achieved this success, especially in the last few years, through consolidating corporate banking
operations, strengthening retail banking, launching diversified and innovative products, giving
more focus to consumer financing and investing in IT.
The success story and acknowledgements do not end at home only. MCB Bank Limited received
Euromoney Award for Excellence seven times in the last eight years, which include Best Bank in
Asia in 2008; four times The Best Bank in Pakistan award and one time The Best Domestic

for the last two years. MCB Bank also received the The Strongest Bank 2010 award by The
Asian Banker for being Pakistans best-performing financial institution in 2010. President and
CEO MCB Bank, Atif Bajwa, has been awarded The Qatar Financial Centre Asian Banker
Leadership Achievement Award 2010.
MCB Bank is truly acting as per its vision and mission statement and achieving all the standards
determined, having long and loyal customer relationship and has won the confidence of
shareholders for itself.
I observed that to provide customers with what they need, MCB has launched many new,
innovative and flexible products for its customers of any class. These innovative products proved
to be a major cause of high market penetration of the bank and there is seen a remarkable increase
in no. of customers which ranges from more than 4 million. MCB has a wide range of products for
its customers including Savings Account, Current Account, Term Deposit, MCB Online Banking,
MCB MNET, MCB Cash Management, MCB Channel Financing, MCB Local Rupee Drawing

Page 71
The launch of Islamic Banking services has increased the goodwill of bank to a further greater
level. This action has clearly shown that customers are the main focus of the bank and they will be
served ever with regards and their preferences.
ATM network of MCB is the largest one in Pakistan with 500 ATMs in near about 110 cities.
For me, it was a great and learning experience to work at MCB BANK LIMITED, Model Town
Branch Bahawalpur.
I was able to learn many new things about banks, banking sector, banking system etc. with the
help of proper guidance and kind cooperation of the staff at the branch. The staff at MCB Model
Town branch is very kind, generous, cooperative and well mannered. They all helped me a lot
learn many new and different things about banks and banking procedures. I at vey start of my
internship, learned how to deal and cooperate with customers in any circumstances, facing varied
moods of customers. I am now very much confident that I can deal with any kind of people. I
actually learned the meaning of the statement that Customer is always right and learned to be
very patient all the time with customers as they are biggest and most valuable assets of any
organization.
Although ups and down happens in case of jobs as well, all the staff members were still very much
cooperative with each other. In this age of extreme professional jealousy, I learned, by observing
the behavior of whole staff of the branch, how to ignore the ill words of others, be patient and
cope up with stressed situations.
The managers control over the all branch activities was very tight and appreciable. I understood
how to obey your bosses and listen to them silently even when they scold. Because all what they
do or say is for betterment and good reputation of the organization. This thing in turn satisfies you.
In MCB Model Town Branch, following departments are working:
Operations
Customer Services
Clearing
Remittance

Page 72
Forex
Advances
Assurance
During my internship at MCB Model Town Branch, I have rotated in the following departments:
Customer services
Remittance
Forex
Clearing
The functions performed by Customer services departments include filling the deposits slips for
customers, filling the vouchers for remittance purpose i.e. DD, PO, online money transfer etc.
Moreover the account opening form is also filled at this desk by the customers, checque
requisition slip for acquiring cheque books, ATM application form, reactivation of dormant
account form are also filled at this desk.
Few activities including Account opening, account closing, and reactivation of dormant accounts
are performed in collaboration with operations department at MCB Model Town branch, because
these include the use of computer network by Operations Manager. General help and guidance is
provided to customers relating their problems. Any sort of information regarding any issue or
product is provided at this desk.
I learnt all these things in very friendly and stress free environment. It was a good experience
spending time at this desk. I observed that the behavior of customer service officers is very good
and appreciable with customers that is a source of satisfaction for customers and is helpful in
increasing goodwill of bank.
In the Remittance department, the services and products that Bank offers to its customers for
Funds Transfer are dealt. Currently Bank is offering following Products & Services for Fund
Transfer: (Locally & Internationally).
Payment Order
Demand Draft (Local & Foreign Currency)
Telegraphic Transfer (Local & Foreign Currency)
Mail Transfer (Local Currency)

Page 73
Forex department at MCB deals in the followings:
LCs (Letter of Credit), FTT (Foreign Telegraphic Transfer) including both inward and outward
FTT.
Swift Operations, Export finances including IBP (Inland Bill Purchase), FBP (Foreign Bill
Purchase) and FAFB (Finance Against Foreign Bill). And Export Refinance.
One thing which I would like to mention here is that in the concerned branch only IBP is in
practice because the area of Bahawalpur is not an industrial area.
In the clearing department, fund transfer via cheques is mainly dealt, bank exchanges cheques and
other negotiable instruments drawn on each other within specified area and securing the payments
for their clients through the clearinghouse. The Cheques and other negotiable instruments are sent
to the Clearing Department / Collection Cell located at the Main Branch by the coordination of
NIFT.
When I did SWOT analysis of MCB Bank, I came to know about many strengthening points of
MCB Bank. One of the main strengths of MCB is that the president of the bank is Mian
Muhammad Mansa, richest person in Pakistan, a very competent and person in the field of
business. Other factors that add strength to bank are its strong deposits base, largest branch
network continuously increasing customers range and the largest ATM network in the country.
As per the statement Nothing is perfect in this world, I also found some weaknesses in its
operations and workings. I have observed few wrong practices from disciplinary standpoint.
Moreover there are lesser no of staff members as compared to task requirements. Work load of
individuals is much more than it should be. Inefficient computer systems which fail down again
and again become a cause of disturbance for customers.
I also observed that NADRA verification process is also very slow and takes a lot of time. It needs
immediate improvements. Moreover I found that employee training and development program are
not very efficient, during the course of my internship no training program was held for the branch
and was done a long time ago, as told to me when I asked. Promotions are also offered after a long
tenure. Both these things add to the demotivation of the employees and a way to switch their job
which is not a healthy sign.

Page 74
I noticed that MCB is having many great opportunities as per the environmental conditions. If
MCB avails those opportunities, it would be even more successful. Moving towards globalization
is now becoming a trend. MCB should also go for it in order to enjoy the benefits of global
market. MCB should also fully utilize all the modern technologies to bring efficiency and
effectiveness in its working processes.
There are also many challenges which, according to my observation, MCB has to face and there
are many threats for it in the external environment. The rising market share of other competent
banks like HBL, National Bank, Standard Chartered etc. is also a threat for MCB Bank.
Global economic crisis and opening of many foreign banks in Pakistan also depicts a dangerous
situation to be faced by MCB Bank. I have also observed that political, economic instability and
the war against terror has affected much the banking sector in Pakistan and MCB Bank has no
exceptions.
During the course of my internship, I found that there are certain areas where improvements and
modifications are needed in order to perform better and give best results. Some things are listed
below:
1. Training can be provided with job rotations so each of the employees is capable of doing
others work in case of emergency, this will ensure no delays are met.
2. Workers need more computer training.
3. MCB need to invest more in technology and bring all banking procedures up-to-date.
4. They should implement advance technology and make it one window shopping or one window
service where each teller is capable of handling every transaction for example payments,
deposits, transfers, bill payments, foreign exchange, ATM card issue and opening of new
account. This will make MCB more proficient in customer service.
5. ATM network needs to be updated more to handle transfers, deposits, bill payments and print
statements. This will free up a lot staff time.
Another critical issue which I have observed is that to make internship program more productive
the period of internship should be divided into the number of departments of the MCB. The
internee should be given timetable mentioning the number of days he has to work at different
places in the bank. On the 1st 2 days in each department internee should be given a lecture by the

Page 75
officer of the department concerned about working of the department.
Moreover I have observed that in the name of lunch break a lot of productive time is wasted by the
staff in unproductive relaxations, breaks are extended voluntarily and fruitless discussion are
made. Rather this time should be productively used because this time, the rush of customers is
much less and they can perform the work better without interruption. This tendency of being late
must be eliminated which reflect adversely on the image of the institution.
Some workers have to work hard and have to work in late hours without any extra reward as
there is no proper task allocation. So I evaluated that certain steps should be taken to allocate the
work properly or to make employees work with more courage.
It is human nature one goes behind reward and incentives and tries to avoid punishment. Likewise
in commercial institution including banks, this system must be introduced with full force means
that active, smart, educated, skilled, self-spoken and well versed staff personnel, should be
rewarded and appreciated, while on the other hand lazy, lethargic, rough dealers and ill-mannered
must be warned and punished. And recruitment and selection should be done on the bases of
merit and statement honesty is the best policy and not due to some personal liking, disliking,
and prejudice. It is therefore suggested that certain schemes and checks may be introduced in
banks to increase efficiency through reward and punishment system.
When I conducted financial analysis of the bank by calculating different liquidity ratios, long term
solvency ratios, profitability ratios and some special banking ratios, following results are found.
When I calculated Current ratio I concluded that this ratio for MCB Bank is not good and shows a
disturbing situation although there is an overall increase in this ratio from year 2006 to 2010
because the current portion of assets is representing more increase than current portion of
liabilities but its assets are still not sufficient enough to pay its liabilities.
Quick ratio which also measures the liquidity of firm is also not good in case of MCB Bank
indicating that the banks liquidity is very less. Although an increasing trend is seen but the
liquidity state of bank is at dangerous level. This ratio should be higher than 1, representing a good
liquidity position of any organization.

Networking capital also measures the solvency of the firm. In case of MCB Bank, negative values
of Networking Capital for 5 years are seen which show that bank is not performing well and
current assets are not able to pay current liabilities. I concluded that the cash and other liquid
reserves of MCB are not in adequate amount and do not fulfill the liquid requirements of the bank.
Debt ratio as it measures the proportion of debt which finances assets of the organization, in case
of MCB Bank I came to know that it is showing a decreasing trend although the value is still very
high i.e. 85.6% in year 2010 show that most of banks assets are financed by the debts taken from
the customers.
Times Interest Earned ratio measures the firms ability to make interest payment. Increase in this
ratio shows a good situation of the firm. In case of MCB Bank, there is decrease in this ratio which
shows that bank is not having enough capacity to make interest payments.
EPS is the amount of Money earned during specific time, on each outstanding common share.
There should be an increase in EPS with time. When I measured this ratio, I found that for MCB
Bank it is showing a positive trend as there is an overall increase in it in year 2010 however it is
lowered down in 2008 and 2009 as compared to 2007.
ROA also called ROI is the measure of generated profits from available assets. This ratio should
also show an increase however in case of MCB Bank there is an overall decrease from 2006 to
2010 except year 2007 where it is increased. This ratio indicates an alarming situation for MCB
Bank.
ROE is the measure of the return earned on the common stock holders investment in the firm.
Increase in ROE shows the strength of the firm. After calculating I found that ROE for MCB is
showing a continuous decrease from year 2006 to 2010 indicating an unhealthy situation for the
bank.
Market capitalization measures the size of a firm. This ratio for MCB Bank is showing a varying
trend for past five years. It is decreased in year 2008 then a gradual increase is seen in year 2009
and 2010 which represents the good market share position for company.
Dividend yield ratio measures the relationship between dividend per share and market price per
share and is calculated for common stock holders. The ratio should be low for capital gain focused

Page 77
investors while high for profit oriented investors. Relating to MCB Bank, this ratio is showing a
varying trend. For given time period, ratio is again increased for 2010. However ratio is greater in
year 2008.
Dividend payout ratio calculates the relationship between dividend per share and EPS. This ratio
should show an increase. For MCB Bank the ratio is showing a continuous increase from year
2006 to 2010 except year 2008 where it is decreased then again showing an increasing trend in
coming years indicating a good position of Bank
Earning assets to total assets ratio shows how well banks management puts banks assets to work.
Increase in this ratio represents the strength and good performance of banks. After calculating I
conclude that although the ratio is increased after 2007 for MCB Bank, but in year 2010 it is
reduced to a little fraction from 87.23% in 2009 to 87.15% in 2010 representing that assets are not
performing well.
Return on earning assets ratio also measures the profitability of bank. For MCB Bank this ratio is
showing an overall decreasing trend from year 2006 to 2010 except year 2007 where it is bit
increased. This overall trend is indicating an alarming situation for the bank.
Interest Margin to average earning assets is a key ratio that measures the banks profitability. In
case of MCB Bank, it is clear that MCB profitability is showing a varying trend. Value is greater
in year 2009 and has fallen again in year 2010, representing the unsafe situation.
Average Equity to total assets ratio measures the extent of equity ownership in the bank and
minimizes the risk of using debt and leverage. For MCB Bank, an increasing trend is represented,
indicating an excellent performance of the bank. Magnitude of risk is decreased that mainly comes
up because of using debt.
Deposits times capital ratio is concerned with both depositors and stockholders. More capital
implies a greater margin of safety, while a larger deposit base gives a prospect of higher return to
shareholders, since more money is available for investment purpose. For MCB Bank, there is a
decreasing trend in this ratio indicating that the deposits are lesser in coming years and there are
now less investment opportunities in MCB, less protection to stockholders is seen. Lesser deposits
base provides lesser investment return opportunities for the bank.

Page 78
Loans to deposit ratio is the measure of position of bank with regard to risk taking ability. An
increase in this ratio indicates the increased level of risk with regard to debt and decreased
liquidity. Results for MCB Bank represent that there is a slight decrease in this ratio. Higher
values in past year i.e. 77.76% in year 2006 depict that bank is not enough liquid to cover any
unforeseen fund requirements. A gradual decrease in this ratio is showing that bank is now
generating liquidity. Its value is 63.55% in year 2010.
Gross Advances represents the total amount of loans given by the Bank including non-performing
loans as well. Gross Advances to Deposits Ratio represents how much amount Bank can lend by
the amount it holds in deposits. Banks are required to maintain certain level of deposits to fulfill
contingent fund requirement by the depositors. Increase in this ratio represents that bank has lent
more money neglecting the amount it has to keep with it to fulfill fund requirements. In case of
MCB Bank, this ratio is representing a decreasing trend which shows that it is having certain
deposit reserves to fulfill fund requirements. Its value is 63.55% in year 2010 whereas in year
2006 its value was 80.34%.
As an ending note of conclusion I would like to say it is evident that MCB Bank Limited is
building progress by leaps and bounds and making its way right to the hearts of people by offering
what they actually need, at the very right time. The profits of MCB are rising each year and I
expect that this trend will continue in the future and MCB will be more successful. I conclude that
MCB has a prosperous present and more successful future is lying ahead for it. It assures the safest
pattern of investment and returns for shareholders and is acting exactly as to the part its mission
statement that our shareholders can invest with confidence in us.
Moreover if MCB acts upon the suggested things on a serious note it would be even more towards
the road of success, development and prosperity. Moving ahead, bank will be able to compete with
competitors, survive in industry in much better ways and will be able to get globalized.
I also concluded that MCB has created a challenging environment that encourages creativity and
commitment. It is focusing on attracting, developing and retaining the best talent in the
marketplace. Its dynamic culture offers diverse growth opportunities across Pakistan.
MCB fosters a work environment where employees can realize their potential. MCB with its
professional management is in the process of turning around the bank. Its products and services

Page 79
such as debit card, credit card, online banking and phone banking has resulted a strong potential
for turn around and value creation.
I would to like to my end conclusion with a very strong point that understanding and the effective
management of the human resources is the most difficult challenge faced not only by the bank but
by all the organizations. Even though the people have been sacrificed in the new organizational
developments, it is becoming clear that the true lasting competitive advantage comes through
human resources and how they are managed. MCB seems not to as much focusing on this highly
critical issue as it should be as the job satisfaction level of the employees working at MCB is not
so high, although it is improved but still it needs to be higher. Moreover their workload should
also be decreased to make tem more productive in true means.
