Executive Summary

The dynamics of business has crossed its boundaries set decades back and have introduced
strong motives of societal well-beings in dispensing business and fiduciary duties. The wind of
globalization has also touched Bangladesh and Agrani Bank Limited is being interwoven into the
psyche of local businesses. However, the change process is slow and only in its infancy due to
not having the proper acceptance at the senior professional ranks or the board. The definition of
banking in general terms, the business activity of accepting and safeguarding money owned by
other individuals and entities, and then lending out this money in order to earn a profit. The study
of ABL in Bangladesh provides a bird's eye view of how banking engagements are being
structured and whether banking initiatives are home grown within organizations or being
partnered with other specialized entities. A bank executive suggested that banking has been taken
one step up at our organization. We call it sustainability and each bank account holder is also
being judged whether he/she is responsible to conduct business with this bank or not. Starting in
1995, the company policy is to have a sustainability fund of 0.75% of net profits to show their
commitment to sustaining a CSR initiative. In this report, I have chosen Agrani Bank Limited as
a sample. In this report I have analyzed and find out the reasons of dispersion of loan and
advance.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Report
Internship program is a pre-requisite for acquiring BBA degree. Before completion of the degree,
a student must undergo the Internship program. As the classroom discussion alone cannot make a
student perfect in handling the real business situation, therefore, it is an opportunity for the
students to know about the real life situation through this program. And a report is required to be
prepared to summarize the interns analysis, findings and achieved knowledge from this
program. This report is a basic academic requirement for the completion of BBA under the
Department of BBA, in BRAC University. The program consists of three phases:
a) The orientation of the Intern with the organization, its function and performance.
b) The project work pertaining to a particular problem or problems matching with the
Interns area of specialization and organizational requirement.
c) The report writing to summarize the Interns analysis, findings and achievements in the
proceeding of the followings.

1.2 Objective of the Report

The report has two objectives:
a) General Objective
b) Specific Objective

a) General objective of the report:

The general objective of the report is to complete the internship. As per requirement of BBA
program of BRAC University, a student need to work in a business organization for two months
to acquire practical knowledge about real business operations of a company.

1|Page
b) Specific objective of the report:
The specific objective of this report is to find and analyze the loan approval and monitoring
process of Agrani Bank Ltd. It will also include gathering an idea about the securities behind the
loan facilities and issuing different bank guarantees. Also includes the SWOT analysis and HR
policies.

1.3 Scope of the Report

Satmasjid road Branch office different division of ABL. is used as sources of information. So
scope of this report is the banking activities and accounting systems. So it is said that scope of
this report is overall activities and accounting Policy and practices of government bank on the
light of ABL.

1.4 Methodology of the Study

a) Report Design
A descriptive research approach has used to conduct the report. According to Business Research
Methods by Willium G. Zikmund (Seventh Edition), descriptive research is a type of conclusive
research which has its major objective is to provide the description of something-usually market
characteristics or functions.

While conducting smooth and accurately study everyone has to follow some rules and
regulations. In this report I use both primary and secondary data. The details of the work plan are
furnished below:

b) Data Collection Method

Relevant data for this report will be collected primarily by direct investigations of different
records, papers, documents, statements, operational process and different personnel. The
interviews will administer by formal and informal discussion. No structured questionnaire will
be used.

c) Data Sources
The information and data for this report will be collected from both the primary and secondary
sources.

Primary Sources:

Face-to-face conversation with the respective officers and stuffs of different section of the
Branch.

2|Page
 Relevant field study as provided by the officer concern.

Secondary Sources:

Annual report of Agrani Bank Limited

Different manuals and publications of Agrani Bank Limited

Different manuals and publications of Bangladesh Bank.

Unpublished data (daily, monthly and yearly statements, ledgers) received from different
section

Different text books.

Official web site of ABL.

1.5 Limitations of the Study

Like any other study the limitations of this study is not out of questions. But the following
factors seem to me the main points of weakness of this study, despite all out co-ordination from
the bank officials.

The main constraint of the study is inadequate access to information, which has hampered
the scope of analysis required for the study. I could not use some important confidential
information of ABL because those may be very sensitive for the county and overall
Banking operation of Bangladesh as ABL is a Government Bank. So, I could not use this
confidential information in this report.

Due to time limitations many of the aspects could not be discussed in the present report.

Since a very few the bank personals have accounting based knowledge, many of official
cant provide a good briefing to me.

Another problem is that creates a lot of confusions regarding verification of data in case
of interview from more than one person.

I carried out such a study for the first time, so inexperience is one of the main constraints
of the study.

2.8 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOVERNMENT BANK

AND PRIVATE BANK:

Private sector banks are owned by the private lenders. The private banks are also
managed and controlled by private promoters and these promoters are free to
operateaccording to the market forces.

The interest rates of private banks are generally slight costly as compared to public sector
banks. Banking has been originated in the form of private banking. Generally, the private
banks are looked as a large organization with global operations. A private bank may have
retail banking facilities for their clients. They are known for better customer services and
investment opportunities. Shareholders of the private banks generally seek short-term
profits as their highest priority. The private banks are known for being well equipped
with all kinds of contemporary tools and techniques.

Government holds a major share in public sector banks and thus, important decisions are
made by the government. The decisions are generally in the interest of the public. Their

8|Page
 main aim is to carry out the banking activities that cater to all the sections of the society.
On the other hand, a private bank mainly focuses on short term interest. These banks do
not have much interference of the government but at the same time these banks lack the
administrative support of the government. To sustain in the competitive banking sector,
the private sector banks have been using the best and latest softwares.

A government bank is formed by taking a bank and its assets into the public ownership.
The national government of the country holds the ownership of nationalized banks. In
nationalized banks the government controls the bank. This could refer to taking control of
the public shares, change in management and new corporate strategy. This is a common
practice in the countries of the west, where it is used as an emergency method to help the
banks during rough times.

Government is where majority of the stake in the shareholders that more than fifty
percent of the stake is held by them.

Private Banks majority of the stake owned by private shareholders.

Fees and services of private banks have made names by providing better service.
However, they charge for extra services they provided by them. On the other hand,
government banks fees and services are less such as on balance maintenance. A lot of
government banks are still picking up in the services.

THEORETICAL OVERVIEW
3.1 Introduction
Aloan is a debt provided by an entity (organization or individual) to another entity at an interest rate, and
evidenced by a note which specifies, among other things, the principal amount, interest rate, and date of
repayment. A loan entails the reallocation of the subject asset(s) for a period of time, between the lender
and the borrower.

In a loan, the borrower initially receives or borrows an amount of money, called the principal, from the
lender, and is obligated to pay back or repay an equal amount of money to the lender at a later time.

The loan is generally provided at a cost, referred to as interest on the debt, which provides an incentive
for the lender to engage in the loan. In a legal loan, each of these obligations and restrictions is enforced
by contract, which can also place the borrower under additional restrictions known as loan covenants.
Although this article focuses on monetary loans, in practice any material object might be lent.

Acting as a provider of loans is one of the principal tasks for financial institutions. For other institutions,
issuing of debt contracts such as bonds is a typical source of funding.

3.2 Definition of Loan

The term loan refers to the amount borrowed by one person from another. The amount is in the
nature of loan and refers to the sum paid to the borrower. Thus, from the view point of borrower,
it is borrowing and from the view point of bank, it is lending. Loan may be regarded as
credit granted where the money is disbursed and its recovery is made on a later date. It is a debt
for the borrower. While granting loans, credit is given for a definite purpose and for a
predetermined period. Interest is charged on the loan at agreed rate and intervals of payment.

3.3 Definition of Advance

Advance is a credit facility granted by the bank. Banks grant advances largely for short-term
purposes, such as purchase of goods traded in and meeting other short-term trading liabilities.
There is a sense of debt in loan, whereas an advance is a facility being availed of by the
borrower. However, like loans, advances are also to be repaid. Thus a credit facility- repayable

10 | P a g e
ininstallments over a period is termed as loan while a credit facility repayable within one year
may be known as advances. However, in the present lesson these two terms are used
interchangeably.

3.5 Types of Loan and Advance
Bank is a set-vice as well as profit oriented organization. So, making of loan and advance have
always been prominent and profitable function of a bank. Sanctioning credit to customers and
others out of the funds at its disposal is one of the principal services of a modern bank. Advances
made in bank in different natures, such as, Cash Credit (CC), Overdrafts, Small-loans, Demand
loans, Bills purchased and discounted, Home building loans and staff loans etc. Bank deals with
the money from the deposits repayable on demand.

3.5.1 Cash Credit (CC)

A cash credit is an arrangement by which the customer is allowed to borrow money up to a

certain limit. This is a parliament arrangement and the customer need not draw the sanctioned
amount at once, but draw the amount as and when required. He can put back any surplus amount,
which he may find with him. Thus, Cash Credit is an active and continuous process in which
deposits and withdrawals going on frequently. Interest is charged only for the amount withdrawn
and not for the whole amount charged. It is operated in the same way as a current account on
which an overdraft has been sanctioned. Cash Credit accounts are, however, maintained in a
separate ledger. Primary securities under consideration in case of cash credit are goods, products
and merchandise. This is most favorite of borrowing by large commercial and industrial concern.
On account of the advantage that a customer need not borrow at once. He can either draw or
repay; in whole amount or in part, the amount advanced at any time to suit his convenience. Cash
Credit are of two types, such as :

1) Cash Credit Hypothecation

2) Cash Credit Pledge

3.5.2 Overdraft

An overdraft occurs when money is withdrawn from a bank account and the
available balance goes below zero. In this situation the account is said to be "overdrawn". An
overdraft allows the individual to continue withdrawing money even if the account has no funds

12 | P a g e
in it. Basically the bank allows people to borrow a set amount of money.
If there is a prior agreement with the account provider for an overdraft, and the amount
overdrawn is within the authorized overdraft limit, then interest is normally charged at the agreed
rate. If the negative balance exceeds the agreed terms, then additional fees may be charged and
higher interest rates may apply. From customers point of views, this arrangement is
advantageous, as he is requires to pay interest on the amount actually he used by him. Overdraft
facilities are generally granted businessmen for expansion their business against securities of
stock in trade, shares, debentures, government promissory notes, fixed deposit, life insurance
policies, gold and gold ornaments etc.

3.5.5 Small Loan

Small loan accounts in its present form of fluctuating. It refers to the lending allowed to small traders,
cottage industries, small-scale industries and self-employed persons. The maximum ceiling for this loan is
at present TK. 5000/- for small traders and self-employed persons. TK. 2, 00,000/- for cottage industries
and small-scale industries.

3.5.6 Demand Loan

Loan (such as an overdraft) with or without a fixed maturity date, but which can be recalled anytime
(often on a 24-hour notice) by the lender and must be paid in full on the date of demand is called demand
loan. Also, the borrower can pay off a demand loan at any time without incurring early-
payment penalties. It is also called call loan or money at call.
A demand loan is a loan that the lender may require the borrower (a brokerage house) to repay at any
time. It is a loan that must be paid on demand from the lender. Demand loans are often used to fund
margin accounts; alternatively, they are common for personal loans with no set maturity.

3.6.7 Staff Loan

Bank provides advances to the staff for buying motor-cycles and motor-cars, for wedding their sons or
daughters etc. It is called staff loan. Bank provides this advance at a little or no interest. This benefit is
generally calculated as the interest on the loan at a prescribed rate, minus any interest actually paid on the
loan within the year or 30 days after year-end.

13 | P a g e
3.5.8 Home Loan

Home Loan is a Secured loan offered against the security of a house/property which is funded by the
banks loan, the property could be a personal property or a commercial one. The Home Loan is a loan
taken by a borrower from the bank issued against the property/security intended to be bought on the part
by the borrower giving the banker a conditional ownership over the property i.e. if the borrower is failed
to pay back the loan, the banker can retrieve the lent money by selling the property.

3.5.10 Crop Loan

Agricultural loans help farmers run their farms more efficiently. It can be difficult to keep up with all of
the costs associated with running a farm, so farmers need low interest agricultural loan to help them stay
afloat.

Fortunately, the government often steps in with low interest loans and other subsidies that help farmers
turn a profit.

Agrani Bank provides Crop Loan to farmers at a low interest rate.

Conclusion and Recommendations

Conclusion
Loan and advances granted by Agrani Bank Ltd are highly beneficial for firms, individuals,
companies and industrial concerns. Loan may be regarded as credit granted where the money is
disbursed and its recovery is made on a later date. It is a debt for the borrower. Advance is a
credit facility granted by the bank. Bank granted advances for short term purposes. Loan and
advances granted by banks help in meeting short term and long term financial needs of business
enterprises. Loan and Advances comprise the most important asset as well as the primary sources
of earning of the bank. A prudent bank management should always try to make an appropriate
balance between return and risk involved with the loan portfolio and unregulated bank might be
with unregulated risk for maximizing its potential return .In such a situation, bank might find
itself in a serious financial distress instead of improving its financial health .Consequently not
only the depositors but also the general shareholders will be deprived of getting back their
money from the bank. Credit Division of Agrani Bank has a very qualified and dedicated group
of officers and staffs who are always trying to provide the best service to the clients. They
always monitor the credit in different sectors and their position. Before providing the loan they
analyze whether the loan will be profitable and whether the client is good enough to repay the
loan within the given period of time. Credit department diversified their loans in different sectors
classified by them. Among the sectors the bank doesnt provide more loans in the agricultural
side. The reason showed that this sector is very risky and depends on natural climate and still
didnt expand their service in the rural side. The bank also does not provide more loan in the
small & cottage industry. The reason is that the return from this sector is not very good and also
the sector is very uncertain. The bank provides most of the credit facility in term loan mainly in
long-term loans. Return from short-term loan is very good and also proves to be very safe to
finance.

Recommendations
The procedure of loan sanctioning should be automated to make sanctioning of loan less
time consuming and reducing the risk of losing documents of disbursed loans.

35 | P a g e
 The bank should diversify its loans more to finance small entrepreneurs for better growth
of the country.

The bank can provide student loan, doctors loan etc., this may encourage the students to
come forward to do something for the economy. And also increase the amount of
personal loan and consumer loan.

Strong promotional activities should be increased to motivate its present potential loans
related clients. More loans can be granted for new entrepreneurs, new businessman and
new companies etc, which ultimately reduce class banking

The law and order should be easier for the bank to liquidate the collateral, so that the
borrower can be able to pay the debt easily.

Maximum number of the loan is provided in the long-term industrial loans. Banks clients
are also limited. So, they cant serve the economy of the country that much. So, they
should diversify their loans more in agriculture, forestry, fishing and new industries etc.
for better economic growth of the country.

Installment period and installment time duration should be increased so that the borrower
can utilize their debt facility properly for profit maximization.

In case of some mortgage problem such as acquisition, proprietorship and problem of

asset, the bank should try to avoid this type of loan sanction.

The bank should try to increase its recovery amount since loan amount each year has
been increased. The bank should induce quality client and select best project for risk free
rate of interest.

The bank should update its loan and advances strategy in sustainable and appropriately
enough to survive in the market.

The bank should provide more loans of small scale in different sectors though it will
decrease the profit a little. But it will be very safe.

In a competitive financial market, the bank should innovate its products & services need
to be focused more on customers needs.
