1 Introduction:
1.1 Executive Summary:I have done my internship at The Bank of Punjab, Khanewal road branch Multan. There are four
departments in the branch, and I worked as an assistant in that branch. For the first two weeks I worked in
deposit department under the supervision of Mr. Arshad, where I have to perform following tasks:
Entering information in KYC (know your customer) forms.
Scanning and arranging specimen signature cards.
Inform customer of essential conditions under which the account will be operated.
Afterwards I have learnt about vouchers, checking of vouchers is essential to confirm that correct
calculation has been done. Vouchers are properly bind sealed, and checking by the manager. I have
checked the following things:
The check should not be post-dated/anti-dated.
Amount in words and figures tallies.
Cash paid stamps (with dates) are duly affixed in case of cash cheques and in case of clearing
stamps is affixed.
Cutting/over writings are duly authenticated by the account holder, etc
Then another task for me was issuing of cheques books. It is one of the most interesting works that I
have learnt in the bank. Cheques books should be issued only after all the formalities of the account
opening forms, which have been checked by the branch manager.
Maintaining Dispatch register and Inward Mailing register was also included in duties assigned to me.

2 Overview of the Organization
2.1 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, relationship between the two countries became most strained
immediately after independence; banking was mostly in the lands of Hindus who immediately started
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 Austral Asia 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.
5
8/3/2019 Bank of Punjab Report[1]
10/44
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 with held 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.
2.1.1 Nationalization of Banks
The principle of nationalization of banks is to stream line the operation 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 controlled by big business groups of the country it was
feared that these banks would not maintain uniformity in their operational and would be instrumental to
inflationary pressure. However, the considerations behind nationalization are
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 development strong money banks 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.

5 Critical Analysis
5.1 Critical Analysis of the practical exposure relating to theoretical concepts
This part of report is the essence of the internship, as this will help other students to better understand theworking environment of the bank by finding the relationship between what is written in the books and what is
actually going on in fields. The theory written in the books in cases is not implemented as it is. In some casestheory is implemented with a little modification but in other cases theory has nothing to do with practice. Inaccounting, banks dont prepare worksheet, but part of worksheet is prepared like trial balance, but littledifferences, theory and practice has substantial relationship. The securities for the loans are handled in the sameway as theory says like mortgage, pledge, hypothecation, advances against insurance policies or liquidationprocedure is the same. The difference is there in the case of loans. Theory talks about four or five terms ofloans that is cash finance, overdraft, loans etc., but in practice there are some more terms used like runningfinance, demand finance etc. All other concepts of remittances, bills, foreign exchange deposits, letters of creditare in accordance with theory almost. So for a internee it is more important to learn new things which he/shehas never heard about in his/her course book.
To me, Theory gives you the direction to understand the processes and the terminologies going across theWorld using best business practices in a broader view covering each and every aspect of possible businessscenarios. On the contrary practical life is specific, enclosed in a jar. In practical professionalism and firms
environment is each and every thing. Professional life only builds on the knowledge based on books eventhough it may only use 1% of the theoretical knowledge.
5.1.1 Computer system
The system has not totally shifted on computer. Manual procedure is still there hence computer facility is notfully availed. There should be a system at each counter for quick processing.
5.1.2 Right person for right job
During my internship I have observed the person who has came as customer Relationship Officer was acting asCashier. It should not be like this. The person should be posted according to his qualification, profession skillsand experience.
5.1.3 Customer problem
People have to wait for en-cashing their cheques for about 10-20 minutes, which is not good for thereputation of bank, the delay is due to manual work. Therefore I suggest that computers and other electronicmachines should be installed in bank so that time could be saved.
5.1.4 Deficiency in management
I felt at some places the BOP need to have employees, because a lot of work is to be done by a single employeethat will result in work overload and employee might not perform his/her job with full devotion.

5.3.2 INTRODUCTION (SWOT Analysis)
SWOT analysis is an acronym that stands for strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats SWOT analysis iscareful evaluation of an organizations internal strengths and weakness as well as its environment opportunitiesand threats.
SWOT analysis is a situational which includes strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats that affectorganizational performance.
The overall evaluation of a company strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats is called SWOTanalysis.
In SWOT analysis the best strategies accomplish an organizations mission by:
1. Exploiting an organizations opportunities and strength.
2. Neutralizing it threats.
3. Avoiding or correcting its weakness.
SWOT analysis is one of the most important steps in formulating strategy using the organization mission as acontext; managers assess internal strengths distinctive competencies and weakness and external opportunitiesand threats. The goal is to then develop good strategies and exploit opportunities and strengths neutralizethreats and avoid weaknesses.
5.3.3 STRENGTH
The Bank officers of BOP are considered as one of the most able professionals in the bankingworld (some belong to BCCI). However, they have added some local flavour in accordance with
their targeted segmented. In my observation that they interact with their clients as if they are theirpersonal friends and discuss about their problems as their own.
As a result of the compassionate and personalized services of the officers, the clients perceptionfor BOP is very high. They have trust and feel themselves to be secure while dealing with BOP.
BOP has opened all its branches at commercial areas so that the customers or clients face noproblems in reaching to the bank. For example, Khanewal Road Branch is being situated inbusiness and commercial hub of Multan as big volume in trade.
BOP has got a reliable and easy to use internal computer system. Every information regarding thetransactions in customers deposits has been computerized. Data are properly maintained.
Good security system
Not excellent but good facilities are given to employees
5.3.4 WEAKNESSES
Lack of proper internal controls is one of the major weakness of BOP. It is also pointed by theauditor in his review.
BOP has formulized a lot of products and services for its customers, even more than othercommercial banks, but any advertisement on electronic media has not been seen.
I observed during my internship that some of the employees were burdened with over work. So Ithink that the work should be distributed according to their post and capabilities.
Biased selection of employees.

5.3.5 OPPORTUNITIES
Satisfy dynamic consumer needs, BOP has made significant in roads in its entire service spectrum.A lot of products have been introduced especially in Retail Banking (Agriculture side) and peopleare increasingly becoming loyal to the bank and because of feasible transactions. Optimum pricingand branding strategies of the bank are helping to make customer feel secure and convenient.
All the opportunities of the 21st century are to be availed in the information technology. Informationtechnology is the future of this dynamic world. Therefore BOP should emphasize much on IT,especially on E-Banking. Bank can design a universal account like other foreign banks, to enhanceonline facilities.
BOP has introduced a number of financial schemes including special Deposit Accounts. Theseaccounts have their unique features. During the last three years, BOP deposits have been increasing@ 40%, which is a very healthy sign. Therefore, with the commencement of new schemes there caneven be a greater increase in its deposits
5.3.6 THREATS
Despite the difficult circumstances that confronted the banking sector in particular and the countryin general, BOP has been still highly profitable. But, the facts cant be denied and there might be anadverse impact of such situation.
BOP is facing a strong competition by its competitors, Business of all these Banks are growing atvery high pace.
5.4 Future Prospects
5.4.1 Financial Valuations and the future prospect of BOP
BOPs share is currently trading at PKR 97.80 (On closing of fiscal year at 30 th June, 2007). And by looking at
the growth track of BOP it can be analyzed that it will real grow up. Through different estimations and byviewing remarks of analysts it is expected that it would grow up to PKR 125 by DEC. It shows real futureprofit.
This evaluation is based on a normalized ROE of 25.3% (ROA of 2.7%), cost of
Equity of 17.0 % and a long-term growth rate of 11.2%.
A sensitive analysis shows:
With every 10% change in credit
costs, fair value would change by3.3%.
For every 10% change in NIM,
BOPs fair value would change by7.5%.
A100bp change in loan growth
estimates for 2007, 2008, and 2009would cause a
Change of 1.0% in fair value.
The calculations made in sensitivity of changes inthe cost of equity and the
31
8/3/2019 Bank of Punjab Report[1]
36/44
Terminal growth rate. The cost of equity is based on a 10.2% risk free rate, a 6%
equity risk premium, and a fundamental risk-weighted of 1.13. The perpetual
growth assumption implies a dividend payout ratio of 25%. For every 50% change in
the cost of equity, and the terminal growth rate the banks fair value
would change by 4.6%.It can be confirmed by looking at share price performance. BOPs share price has performed well in the lastyear. It is up 31.2% in the past 12 months, and is up 21.1% YTD. The stock has outperformed the localbenchmark KSE-100 by 5.0%. Performance is quiet amazing.

7 Weaknesses and their Recommendations (Financial &Administrative Aspects)
7.1.1 Internal Controls
To me the major and the most important flaw in the BOP is lack of internal controls and inter communicationbetween different branches of the bank. As far as financial aspect is concerned there is no proper system isconfigured thats why there is always a risk of big frauds with in the bank. I during my internship also pointedout that point but no one bothered. To me the bank should install some proper resource planning and controllingsystems like other banks do i.e., oracle financials etc.
7.1.2 Professional Training
BOP staff lacks professionalism. They lack the necessary training to do the job efficiently and properly.Although staff colleges are in all major cities of the Punjab but they are not performing well. For this purposethese staff colleges should be reorganized and their syllabus should be made in such a way which can help theemployee understand the ever-changing global economic scenario.
Banking council of Pakistan should also initiate some programs to equip the staff with much neededprofessional training.
7.1.3 Delegation of Authority
Employees of the bank should be given a task and authority and they should be asked for their responsibility.The sense responsibility in employees mind is one of the most important factors in the success of anyorganization.
7.1.4 Performance Appraisal
During Internship I felt that there is no or very less appraisal of any ones cool performance. The managershould strictly monitor the performance of every staff member. All of them should be awarded according totheir performance and result in the shape of bonuses to motivated and incite them to work more efficiently.
7.1.5 To Over Come Problem of Space and Furniture
In the critical analysis this, problem is discussed. To overcome this problem it is suggested that a special
section should be made inside the branch. Which should only handle the treasury function, salaries andpensions of federal personnel or the bank should do these functions in the evening time. Also managementshould purchase more furniture and arrange them in such a way which provides maximum space andconvenient especially in deposit department and there should also be convenient sitting place for customers.
7.1.6 Transfer
35
8/3/2019 Bank of Punjab Report[1]
40/44
Transfer is not properly carried out. Some of the employees are continually serving at the same post. They aresimply rotated at the same branch. Therefore it is recommended that evenly rotation of every employee shouldtake place after every three years in different braches of the bank.
7.1.7 Changes in Policies
There should not be any abrupt policies change by the upper management, as this practice hurts the customerconfidences in the bank. Government should make long-term policies
7.1.8 Need of Qualified Staff
Required, qualified staff should be provided to branch in order to improve the functioning of the branch.Especially a telephone operator should be appointed.
7.1.9 Utility Bill Charges
Bank gets Rs. 2 to 3 to processes a utility bill, and it is very tire, tough and hard job despite this working
resulting in a loss to then Rs 3 to5 per transaction. These charges should be increased to RS 10 per bill toenable the branch to cover their handling costs and make some profit.
7.1.10 Link with the Head Quarter
100 major branches of BOP should established a direct link with the, head quarter in Lahore, through Internetor Intranet. This will make the functions and decision making of the management easier and convenient.Though management has a plan to connect all branches via WIMAX technology. Which would really bring agreat future aspects.
7.1.11 Credit Card
BOP should start its operation in credit card. These cards are very helpful for the ordinary customer in generaland the business people in particular. To make it mores secure and to eliminate the misuse of it, themanagement is required to keep proper security against the card.
7.1.12 Clean Loans
Clean loan or clean overdraft is the credit facility extended to the customers to the customers without anysecurity. These types of small term loans should not be extended to anybody, because sometime these loans areprovided to blue-eyed people of the management and they become a part of bad debts.
7.1.13 Cash Financing
In this mode of financing the amount of credit not utilized by the borrower is remained tax-free. It isrecommended that a small amount of interest should be charged on this amount as well because the bank gaskept-aside the amount for that borrower and can not advance it anywhere.
7.1.14 Decreasing Administrative Expenses
36
8/3/2019 Bank of Punjab Report[1]
41/44
Bank should decrease their administrative expenses. This was Rs 2.25 billion in the year 2007. That can bedone by lying off the surplus pool of employee with golden hand shakes scheme. The branches that are notmuch used could also be closed. That will give positive results in the future.
7.1.15 Should be Aggressive in Credit Policy
As mentioned earlier, BOP is very conservative in advances and loans policy. It reduces the investmentopportunities. Also loans should be given to the small businessmen and the other businesses on large scale likein agriculture sector at the low mark-up rate. It should adopt flexible credit policy while giving credit to theagriculture sector.
7.1.16 Technological Advancement
I would like to suggest that at least all the main branches of BOP should be fully computerized in order toexpedite the dealing process among bankers and their customers. Every department should be provided acomputer with adequate training (especially Advances, Deposits and Foreign Exchange departments). Dailyrecords should be entered directly into these computers, (instead entering the overall daily transactions after thebanking hours). It will not only reduce transaction time, will increase accuracy but will also be efficient as well.
Not only it will be economical but will also reduce the extra burden of work of the bank. It will also help inreducing the use of excessive paper work.
7.1.17 Staff Relationship
Good relationship among staff member leads to the peak performances in any organization. I observed that thestaff relationship was normal other wise but some time I noticed that there exists little conformity among thestaff members. Another syndrome from which the staff suffered was that all of them considered themselvesmore important than others. Some of the officers used to say that if I am absent for a day the bank would stopworking. So this sort of attitude is not good because it mars bank image and juniors willingness learn and workhard and in the end will hurt the whole team.
7.1.18 Improper Distribution of Work
Proper distribution of work leads to success in every organization. Proper distribution of work prevents theemployee from over and under work situation. So for a smooth running of an organization proper distributionof work is the hint to be followed.
During my internship I observed that there was no proper distribution of work in the bank. I saw that some ofthe employee worked like ants other sat idle staring here and there. So this created a lot of over work situationfor while relaxation for other.
7.1.19 Favouritism and Nepotism
In the Main branch during my internship I saw that when some of the employees are transfer to other places,due to their relation with influential people and with top management they can cancel their transfer in fewweeks, when they are unsatisfied at that place.
So I suggest that in the organization there should be no favouritism, nepotism and politics and their transfer andpromotion should be made on merit and according to the rules and regulations of the bank and providedfavourable environment to the employee to show their performances.
37
8/3/2019 Bank of Punjab Report[1]
42/44
7.1.20 Inter Departmental Transfer
I watched during my internship that, there employees who have worked on one seat for many a year. It canhave negative effects motivation of employee who is hard working and intelligent. Take the example ofadvances section. In advance section if the employee is transfer after sixth month or seven month, how can hebe able to show his performances and how can he be able to know the bank customer in a short period of time.
7.1.21 Marketing Policy
The branch should adopt various marketing strategy and promotion strategy to promote the bank and itsproduct.
The most important in my opinion is personal marketing; it is the most effective of all when you think in termof branch level. But on the whole organization level, they should arrange the seminar with in the bank andoutside the bank. They should introduce various prizing schemes just like Allied Bank. Karamad Scheme, BankAl-Fallah (monthly income earning scheme) and various others.
They should do more advertising through newspaper and media and through channel of personal contacts.
7.1.22 Complaints of Customer
There should be an information desk to provide the information and to receive the complaints of the customerin the bank.
There is no complaint box available in the branch and not any person appointed to hear the complaints.
Every person cannot go to the manager for the complaint because most of the people are hesitant. So I suggestmanagement to install a compliant box in the branch, and recruit a special person for that guidance of thecustomer when they are unable to manage some difficulties in banking matters.
7.1.23 Organizational Commitment
It is suggested that employees working on daily wages basis should be given some benefits, which the otheremployees are getting. Their salaries must increase according to efficiency, performance and service this willincrease there commitment to the organization.
7.1.24 Credit Monitoring
The credit department of the bank should carry out vigilant credit monitoring. They should ensure the properpayment of instalments and the mark-up by the borrower.
The staff members who have done all the paper work of the loan extension should perform the monitoring, ashe/she will be having more information about the borrower.
7.1.25 Extended Banking Hours
The banking hours may be extended up to six, as being practiced by UBL opposite to it. Some of the businesscommunity due to law and order situation are now reluctant to keep the fund in their premises and would wantto depart with it. Therefore, Main Branch may extend the night banking to cater to demand of this businesscommunity. The branch could also be opened to cater the requirements of this business community
38
8/3/2019 Bank of Punjab Report[1]
43/44
7.1.26 Housing and House Hold Goods Loans
Bank should initiate these loans because most of banks customers are middle class and they cannot afford tobuy house or household goods at once by their own.
7.1.27 Avoiding Bad Debts
Great care should be taking while extending the loan. Loans should be awarded against reasonable securities,where market value should be equal to the loan granted.
Policies should be crafted in a way to ensure that no loan is extended on political pressure. SBP regulation forloan approval should be strictly followed. According to which the current ration of borrowers business must be1:1 and the debt to equity ratio should be 60:40, means the liquidity position of business should be healthy.
7.2 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STUDENTS
In this section some recommendations for those students who are planning for an internship at BOP particularly
and in any other bank generally. The most important of all is the difference between what we learn from thebooks i.e. the theory and what actually is done i.e. in practice. This difference is described in detail below:
7.2.1 Working in different departments
During my internship I observed that other internees in the bank use to stick with one department only. Aninternee with specialization in Finance was of the view that he should be in Finance department same was thecase with other specialized Internees. But I would suggest that one must work in every department for sometime to gain a hand on experience of all the departments. As in real working environment employee have tocoordinate with other departments, so he/she must know what the other departments operations are and howthey work.
7.2.2 Relationship between Theory and Practice:
This part of report is the essence of the internship, as this will help other students to better understand theworking environment of the bank by finding the relationship between what is written in the books and what isactually going on in fields. The theory written in the books in cases is not implemented as it is. In some casestheory is implemented with a little modification but in other cases theory has nothing to do with practice. Inaccounting, banks dont prepare worksheet, but part of worksheet is prepared like trial balance, but littledifferences, theory and practice has substantial relationship. The securities for the loans are handled in the sameway as theory says like mortgage, pledge, hypothecation, advances against insurance policies or liquidationprocedure is the same. The difference is there in the case of loans. Theory talks about four or five terms ofloans that is cash finance, overdraft, loans etc., but in practice there are some more terms used like runningfinance, demand finance etc. All other concepts of remittances, bills, foreign exchange deposits, letters of creditare in accordance with theory almost. So for a internee it is more important to learn new things which he/she
has never heard about in his/her course book.
To me, Theory gives you the direction to understand the processes and the terminologies going across theWorld using best business practices in a broader view covering each and every aspect of possible businessscenarios. On the contrary practical life is specific, enclosed in a jar. In practical professionalism and firmsenvironment is each and every thing. Professional life only builds on the knowledge based on books eventhough it may only use 1% of the theoretical knowledge.

8 Conclusions
By analyzing the financial statements of the bank, I came across to know that it is one of the most growing
bank in the subcontinent. Now they should carry on with the present management which too k it from one of
the ordinary bank to this level. No doubt professionalism and internal controls of the bank are one of the major
issues which may results some major losses to the bank. Bias in hirings and between colleagues should be
removed.
