INTERNSHIP:
Prerequisite of Bs. Hon is to undergo internship in any organization to get practical exposure and
to get familiarized with the ways to live in the organizational environment which is dramatically
different from the educational environment. I got the opportunity to join the MCB Iqbal town
Moon Market Branch for the said purpose for a period of 6 weeks. Practical involvement was a
great experience as interactions both with the experienced executives and clients cemented the
base of knowledge I have been acquiring in the classroom. This internship report includes the
material about MCB and different departments along with their working procedure. As far as my
knowledge and hard work is concerned this report will provide a good insight of MCB.
In preparing this report, I have put all of my best efforts and tried my level best to give maximum
knowledge. Despite of my all the coherent efforts, I do believe that there will always be a room
for improvement in the efforts of learner like me.
Methodology
There are mainly two methods that are used for the collection of data.
Primary data
Observation of functions of branch operations on the spot
Observation of different processes of branch on the spot
Secondary Data
Internet is very helpful for me to study more about this bank and overall banking sector in
Pakistan.
Different types of bottlenecks of the bank.
Annual reports
Journals
Newspapers
Importance of Internship:
Internship is known for giving students the opportunity to apply their knowledge in real world
environment. At the same time, they will also develop skills which will help them perform better
at their jobs.
An internship is known as a training program in your related field through which you can get
practical knowledge of the subject. It is to determine that how your next step in life will work out
because the professional life can be very different from University life. This is a short period
program that may be paid or unpaid, depends on the company policy.
It is also a good time to know your weak points so that they can also get stronger. By taking
internship we don’t only get a chance to utilize our theoretical knowledge in our specific subject
but we can also know the scope of it and the fresh graduates who have taken internships are
strongly preferred in the companies because of their practical and theoretical knowledge.
BANK VIS-À-VIS BANKING COMPANIES ORDINANCE 1962:
Page 4
MCB Internship Report
In the light 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."
A) PRE-NATIONALIZATION ERA:
There were only two Muslim banks in Indo Pak before partition, they were; Habib Bank Ltd.
(established in 1941 at Bombay) & Australia Bank Ltd. (established 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 bloodshed and violence at large scale, mostly branches were closed and the
disparity can be accessed 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); HBFC (Nov, 1952); P1CIC (Oct,
1957), IDBP (Aug. 1961); NDFC (Jan, 1973)

MCB Internship Report
B) NATIONALIZATION ERA:
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.
Page 6
MCB Internship Report
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.
After privatization, the growth in every department of the bank has been observed.
Now MCB has covered 60 years of banking excellence. MCB has an edge over other local
banks, as it was the first privatized bank. The State Bank of Pakistan has restricted the number of
branches that can be opened by foreign banks, an advantage that MCB capitalizes because of its
extensive branch network.
Fifteen years after privatization, MCB is now in a consolidation stage designed to lock in the
gains made in recent years and prepare the groundwork for future growth. The bank has
restructured its asset portfolio and rationalized the cost structure in order to remain a low cost
producer.
MCB now focuses on three core businesses namely Corporate, Commercial and Consumer
Banking. Corporate clientele includes public sector companies as well as large local and
multinational concerns. MCB is also catering to the growing middle class by providing new asset
and liability products. The Bank provides 24 hour banking convenience with the largest ATM
network in Pakistan. The Bank’s Rupee Traveler Cheques have been market leaders for the past
six years and have recently launched their Gift Cheque Scheme.MCB looks with confidence at
year 2008 and beyond, making strides towards fulfillment of its mission.
MCB Bank Limited (Formerly Muslim Commercial Bank Limited) has a solid foundation of
over 50 years in Pakistan, with a network of over 900 branches, over 750 of which are
Automated Branches, over 222 MCB ATMs in 41 cities nationwide and a network of over 12
banks on the MNET ATM Switch, which as a combination is considered to be the core
competence of MCB.
MCB has become the only bank to receive the Euromoney award for the fourth time in the last
five years. MCB won the "Best Bank in Pakistan" in 2005, 2004, 2003, 2001, and in 2000 the
"Best Domestic Bank in Pakistan" awards. In addition, MCB also has the distinction of winning
the Asia Money 2005 & 2004 awards for being "The Best Domestic Commercial Bank in
Pakistan". Ten years after privatization, MCB is now in a consolidation stage designed to lock in
the gains made in recent years and prepare the groundwork for future growth. The bank has

application form. Same prescribed application form is used for MT, TT, DD, and PO. This
application form states the amount of the remittance, the name and address of the payee, the
name of originating and responding branch. The applicant and the bank officer who have been
duly authorized to act on his behalf should sign this application form.
Head Office Account
All transaction relating to remittance will be routed through head office account. All the MCB
branches have an account on “Head Office”. Through this HO account it becomes uncomplicated
for branches to do transactions with other branches and to update their books.

draft register where record is maintain branch wise. Responding branch and originating branch

CREDIT DEPARTMENT
The bank is profit seeking institution. It attracts surplus balance from the customer at low rate of
interest and makes advances at a higher rate of interest to the individuals and business firms.
This is also a very important department in the bank that plays very vital role and it is the main
factor for running a banking business. Because banks give loans from the people’s savings to
other persons and they pay some interest on that loan amount that becomes bank’s income.
Simply when a local customer comes to the bank he has the direct dealings with the credit
manager. Bank offered different type of loans depending on the customer’s security. Customer
has to give some security to the bank for the sake of money. Then banks reserve the papers of
customer’s security and give him a loan for any specific period. Credit manager takes all
necessary information from the customer and give him loan on some simple terms and
conditions. Some loan approvals are made by the Manager of the branch within his powers as
prescribed by the bank’s higher authorities, while some loan applications are submit to higher
authorities for their approval. Some advances are of the following nature
• Loan against Gold
• Agriculture advance to farmers
• Medium term advance for working capital
• Long term advance for setting industry
• Short term advance to businessman

In circle office there was also credit analyst who keeps the records and information of all the
customers who get loan from banks in files and update their profiles weekly or monthly. There

to convince them to follow the bank’s policy regarding loans.

RECOMMENDATIONS OR SUGGESTIONS:
The following suggestions can be recommended to overcome flaws in MCB and to improve the
efficiency for the development of the bank.
Employees Training Programs must be introduced on continuous basis so that the employees
will have understanding with the latest developments especially with the customers.
Bank should introduce incentive plans for employees on regular basis so that employees will
work whole-heartedly for the welfare of their organization.
Incentives should be given on the basis of qualification, hard work, and experience etc.
Mismanagement of resources must be avoided as much as possible as it decreases profit.
MCB is going towards mobile banking but the problem is that a common client has no idea
of its usage due to lack of marketing. So, a proper marketing program must be launched for
client’s awareness.
Bank should help the society by providing interest free loans to the Talented Students.
