There were only two banks in IndoPak before partition; they were Habib Bank Limited (established in 1941 in Bombay) and Australia Bank Limited (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 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 of lagging in Pakistani industry was the absence of central bank of its own, as by that time the Reserve bank of India was acting as Central Bank for both countries and same currency note were used in both territories. But Reserve Bank of India was biased and set down Pakistan on many occasions such as issue of funds transfer etc. In this period drastic steps were taken in government sector for 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.

DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT SCIENCES

16

INTERNSHIP REPORT ON

2) Setting up 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. PICIC (Oct. 1975) 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 working in Pakistan and all over deposit position were around Rs. 2300 crore (23,00 million).

NATIONALIZATION OF BANKING
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. These banks were controlled by Pakistan Banking Council. There are still controversies this act of the government as whether it contributed in success or failure of banks.

POST NATIONALIZATION ERA


In 1990 the government decided to denationalize all the nationalized institutes. Some were also suggested in banking sector. For this purpose, amendments were made to Nationalization Act 1974 and 2 nationalized banks were privatized. Along with this the permission to open banks in the private sector was also granted. The rules regarding the establishment of new banks and for incoming foreign banks were also relaxed. After these changes a large number of foreign and private banks started their operations in Pakistan and presently there are more than 44 scheduled banks working in Pakistan.

This is very important department because cash is the most liquid asset and mostly frauds are made in this department. Here the individuals that are authorized to go in this department have to be very careful because when at the end of day the cash is balanced, a little more or little less balance can cause problem and then they have to see where they have made mistake. So extra care is taken in this department and nobody is allowed to enter in this department except authorized persons only. When cash is received in the counter, this entry is recorded in the computer by the cashier. At the close of the day, these entries are balanced with each other. When the cheque or any negotiable instrument is presented at the counter for payment, the cashier at first ask for the photocopy of CNIC of the person who has come with the cheque and then they record the transaction in the computer and then payment is made to the payee. At the end of the day, the entries the cashier has made are balanced with the entries that have been made by the assistant manager. The consolidated figure of the receipt and payment of the cash is entered in the cash balance book (in the computer) and drawn closing balance of cash.

Opening balance + receipts payments = closing balance

The rapid advancement in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has had a profound impact on the banking industry and the wider financial sector over the last two decades and it has now become a tool that facilitates banks organizational structures, business strategies, customer services and other related functions. The recent IT revolution has exerted far-reaching impacts on economies, in general, and the financial services industry, in particular. Within the financial services industry, the banking sector was one of the first to embrace rapid globalization and benefit significantly from IT development. ABN AMRO is one of the leading banks of the world and it is completely dependent on the use of technology i.e. it is doing the paperless banking. Information Technology Department (ITD) is responsible for management and support of the technology architecture, hardware, software, and the respective resources throughout the country as well as the whole world. The IT department of ABN AMRO is one of the most sensitive departments as the working of the bank is completely dependent on the computer based and the web based technology and any problem at any part can negatively impact the whole working of the bank. Thus, a great care is taken in the management of IT Department. This whole system of ABN AMRO is using two lines of electricity. One is provided by the WAPDA and the other is the use of UPS. In case the electricity is powered of, the UPS is started which causes the computers not turn off and in this

INTERNSHIP REPORT ON

case there is no case of data loss and in is for 10-15 seconds after which the generators are powered on which provides the electricity to the whole bank.

The IT Department of the ABN AMRO bank consists of the following:

1. CITRIX Web Interface:


It is the software being used in the ABN AMRO and in this there are many other soft wares used for different banking functions e.g. Lotus notes are used to access e-mails TCSS (Total Consumer Services Suite) used for different functions etc. This CITRIX Web Interface is the link which is being operated either from the head office (Karachi) or from the main branch (Lahore). When there comes any blockage in the operating of link from one city then it is operated from the other as because of this the whole working of the bank is stopped.

2. SWITCHES:
This is the device in which the cables of all the computers being operated in the bank are connected. Through this device it becomes visible that which computer is operating and which is not and also if there is any problem in the working of any computer then the switch of that concerned computer shows that there is some problem in the operating of that computer by any light present on the switch depicting the problem in the concerned computer.

3. DTU (Data Traveling Units):


As for the working of the bank the link is operated either from the head office or from the main branch (Lahore) but to access to Lahore there are two routes being used either from Vehari or from Multan. When there is more traffic of signals from one route then the system shifts these data traveling units automatically to the

DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT SCIENCES

45

INTERNSHIP REPORT ON

other route in order to make the access quicker and this traffic is shown on the computer because it takes more time for data to reach at the desired place.

4. V Set (wireless satellite):


In the V Set device, the communication through the satellite is done. It is used in case the link is failed to be operated both from the head office and from the main branch and thus, the last resort is to use the satellite communication in order to keep the working of the bank going.

5. ROUTERS:
This is a very important device as the switches of the above mentioned devices i.e. V Set, DTUs and Switches are plugged into this device and connected with it.

INTERNSHIP REPORT ON

In the case of same day clearing the maximum amount should of Rs. 200,000 and for this the charges are Rs.300 per instrument. For the cities in which there are branches of the ABN AMRO, for those cities it is using its own intercity clearing software. Other local banks are not using intercity module. For the cities in which there is not any branch of the bank, there the bank uses the collection schedule for clearing. Instead of hiring the services of the NIFT the bank directly contacts with the concerned branch of the other bank. For these services the bank is charging Rs. 400\425\450 (Rs.300 commission +Rs.100 postage +10% excise duty) but these are only for amount up to Rs. 300,000 and for the amount beyond Rs. 300,000 then it will be charged 15%.

Representatives of ABN AMRO take the cheques drawn on ABN AMRO. These cheques are entered in the inward clearing register and after sorting out these are delivered to respective branches of ABN AMRO. Some cheques are passed and some may be dishonored and a memo showing the reason of dishonor is attached with them.

Bank is not giving more emphasis on the small scale businesses which are large number in Pakistan. A good number of facilities are only for the big businessman, not for the small businessman.
There is enormous difference between the bank lending rate and return on

deposits. The procedure and documentation while sanction loan is thorny, which is a barrier for advances. Advertising in both Medias print and electronic Medias is also to be

improved in ABN AMRO Bank Pakistan Limited. After its re-branding to RBS, establishment of an advertising program to introduce RBS all over the Pakistan is a need of the age. Bank has no grievance department for the internal problems of employees. The Bahawalpur branch has no lockers facility for their customers.

Bank can offer special financing schemes for farmers especially in agrarian cities. Facilities like financing of housing should also be offered to general public especially in urban areas.

As bank is not big branch network so customer feels inconvenience in dealing with the bank in Pakistan. Now the world is a global village so competitors may arise from anywhere in the world at any time. Law and order situation in Pakistan is shoddier that is why people are not confident to invest anywhere.
Responding to the SBP prudential regulatory, management takes too much

care while granting loans. This thing, in future can be hindrance for advancing policies of the bank. The market rate are now of extremely low-level; with very little chance of their going up. The low interest rate means low profit for the bank. High rate of taxes on banking companies. In new future the world is going to be free trade zone so the concept of survival of fittest will be in action.
Due to terrorist activities in Pakistan the economy is moving very slow. It

means less investment and as a result low loan demand.

To increase the efficiency, more effective corporate structures

should be setup. The House Loan facility can be flexible for customers. Instead of filling the vacancies from outside the bank promotions

with in the bank should be done. This will increase the commitment of the employees and will also motivate them. Returns on the term and fixed deposits should be increased to the

level of competitors if not more then those. Job security should be increased. Promotion should be made on merit. There should be marketing department in each branch. Although it

will increase the expenses but benefits will be greater than expenses. Although bank has agency relations with the foreign banks but it

management should hire new and well educated talent. Bank can increase its advances to earn greater profit by financing

small scale businesses. More and more facilities should be offer to general public instead

of a special group of society. The lockers facility should be introduced in Bahawalpur branch. The bank should introduce new investment schemes with

After the completion of my overall analysis and studies of ABN AMRO Bank Pakistan Limited performance and banking system, I come to the conclusion: ABN AMRO Bank Pakistan Limited is a leading bank of world. It wins the rewards like: THE BEST FOREIGN BANK IN PAKISTAN From the opinion of international organization the overall strong standing of the Bank is very clear. It won a certificate from Pakistan Credit Rating Agency (PACRA) A1+.

Combined with ABN AMRO, RBS will further strengthen its position as one of the worlds leading service groups because the acquisition of ABN AMRO has dramatically accelerated RBSs plans for organic growth in new markets, and very importantly given them a foothold in new markets which RBS would otherwise have had to wait some years to enter. Pakistan is an example of that. Pakistan is a strong customer franchise, a well managed business with an excellent team.
