Internship Report 3 Habib Bank Limited
executive summary
Every student of Master in Commerce at HAILEY COLLEGE OF
COMMERCE UNIVERSITY OF THE PUNJAB has an essential requirement to do
Six to Eight weeks internship in any of the well reputed organization. The purpose of
this program is to acquaint the students with practical applications of theoretical
concepts taught to them during conduct of their M.COM program. The internship in
Habib Bank was arranged by the job placement cell of the institute. Really, it was a
nice opportunity to have a close comparison of theoretical concept in practical field,
involving the use of primary and secondary data. All the efforts on the way are
summarized in shape of this Internship Report. Report starts with the topic evolution
of banking. The word 'Bank' is said to have been derived from the words Bancus or
Banque or Bank. This history of banking is traced to as early as 2000 B.C. Talking
about commercial banking in Pakistan It was very difficult for Pakistan to build up its
own Banking system immediately after independence without sufficient resources.
By 30th June 1948 the number of schedule banks in Pakistan declined from mere
scratch. Today there are more than 7000 branches of commercial banks along with
an established network of supplementary financial institutions. All this development
in the banking sector is the result of untiring efforts of six decades. HBL was the first
commercial bank to be established in Pakistan in 1947. Over the years, HBL has
grown its branch network and become the largest private sector bank with over
1,450 branches across the country and a customer base exceeding five million
relationships.
of its customers. HBL’s car to car loan has its own uniqueness in Pakistan’s banking
sector. HBL’s branch network is extended all over the Pakistan which has its
competitive edge over all other private sector banks in Pakistan.
Evolution of banking
The word 'Bank' is said to have been derived from the words Bancus or
Banque or Bank. This history of banking is traced to as early as 2000 B.C. The
priests in Greece used to keep money and valuables of the people in temples. These
priests thus acted as financial agents. The origin of banking is also traced to early
goldsmiths. They used to keep strong safes for storing the money and valuables of
the people. The persons who had surplus money found it safe and convenient of
deposit their valuables with them. The first stage in the development of modern
banking, thus, was the accepting of deposits of cash from those persons who had
surplus money with them.
The goldsmiths used to issue receipts for the money deposited with them.
These receipts began to pass from hand to hand in settlement of transactions
because people had confidence in the integrity and solvency of goldsmiths. When it
was found that these receipts were fully accepted in payment of debts; then the
receipts were drawn in such a way that it entitled any holder to claim the specified
amount of money from goldsmiths. A depositor who is to make the payments may
now get the money in cash from goldsmiths or pay over the receipt to the creditor.
These receipts were the earlier bank notes. The second stage in the development of
banking thus was the issue of bank notes.
Internship Report 5 Habib Bank Limited
The goldsmiths soon discovered that all the people who had deposited money
with them do not come to withdraw their funds in cash. They found that only a few
persons presented the receipts for encashment during a given period of time. They
also found that most of the money deposited with them was lying idle. At the same
time; they found that they were being constantly requested for loan on good security.
They thought it profitable to lend at least some of the money deposited with them to
the needy persons. This proved quite a profitable business for the_ goldsmiths. They
instead of charging safe keeping charges from the depositors began to give them
interest on the money deposited with them. This was the third stage in the
development of banking.
COMMERCIAL BANKING IN
PAKISTAN
It was very difficult for Pakistan to build up its own Banking system
immediately after independence without sufficient resources. Following the
announcement of the partition plan in June 1947 there was a haste movement on the
parts of banks to transfer their funds and accounts across the borders. The banks
having their registered offices in Pakistan were transferred to India. In an effort to
bring about the collapse of the new state by the persecuting an international policy of
withdrawal, the Indian bank offices closed quickly. Those banks, which stayed, were
considering the winding up of their business. By 30th June 1948 the number of
schedule banks in Pakistan declined from mere scratch.
Internship Report 6 Habib Bank Limited
Today there are more than 7000 branches of commercial banks along with an
established network of supplementary financial institutions. All this development in
the banking sector is the result of untiring efforts of four decades.
a) Pre-Nationalization Era
b) Nationalization Era
c) Post Nationalization Era
There were only two Muslim banks in Indo Pak before partition; they
were .Habib Bank Ltd. (est. in 1941 at Bombay) & Australia Bank Ltd. (est. 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 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.
Internship Report 7 Habib Bank Limited
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:
B) NATIONALIZATION PERIOD
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:
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.
After these changes a large number of private and foreign banks started their
operations in Pakistan and the present status can be seen from the following figure:
Internship Report 10 Habib Bank Limited
Habib Bank Limited was established by Mr. Ismail Habib (Late) on August 25,
1942 at Bombay. It was the first Muslim Bank of the sub-continent. It was
established with a paid up capital of Rs. 2.5 million. At an early stage, the number of
its branches was only 12.
HBL established operations in Pakistan in 1947 and moved its head office to
Karachi. Our first international branch was established in Colombo, Sri Lanka in
1951 and Habib Bank Plaza was built in 1972 to commemorate the bank’s 25th
Anniversary. With a domestic market share of over 40%, HBL was nationalized in
1974 and it continued to dominate the commercial banking sector with a major
market share in inward foreign remittances (55%) and loans to small industries,
traders and farmers. International operations were expanded to include the USA,
Singapore, Oman, Belgium, Seychelles and Maldives and the Netherlands.

Swot analysis
Strengths
HABIB BANK is a well established bank enjoying long history of over 65 years
of experience and profitable operation.
HBL is the largest private bank in Pakistan now and people trust is very high.
It has the largest branch network among private banks of Pakistan.
HBL has been very effective in controlling costs as it successfully restructured
itself after its privatization. During this process more than 1,600 employees
were relieved under a golden handshake scheme and 110 branches were
closed.
Excellent branches appearance gives an edge to HBL over other banks. The
branches are well furnished even in less developed areas where other banks’
branches give a poor view.
HBL has the ability to bring innovative products and services like personalized
service, electronic funds Transfer, sophisticated financial products such as
electronic banking, auto-teller machines and evening banking.

Internship Report 21 Habib Bank Limited
Weaknesses
process.
Employees at branch level are not properly motivated to work by heart. They
Most of the employees lack managerial training as they are not properly
Grade-I, II or III positions having hardly bachelor degrees. This type of senior
decision making.
Though HBL is second largest bank in Pakistan, yet the fact remains that it is
not market leader as NBP. Its total assets are always less than NBP total
assets.
Opportunities
E-Banking
Generally speaking, three factors, quickness, easiness and cheapness have become
the catchwords for the competitiveness and usefulness of all the business
operations. Particularly it is commonplace today to say that banking is undergoing a
radical transformation. The symptoms are new products, new players, new channels
etc. This transformation is taking place across all sectors of the banking industry.
That is why Habib bank urgently needs to improve their ability, to think strategically
about IT investments. Only those banks that use their technology resources
effectively have the opportunity to secure real competitive advantage in this fast-
changing industry through real product or service differentiation.
Of late markup rates have increased considerably. Present rates are 4% above
KIBOR i.e. 16% appx. High markup rate has decreased the interest of people in
loaning from from banks. Habib bank can increase its income by offering loan at
lower interest rate than other banks.
ONLINE BANKING
It is doing banking transactions through our home P.C. The banks that do business
through net have Websites. The customer clicks into the Website and gets the
history of the bank. Then he can demand the necessary application form through the
net. He fills in the form and passes it on to the bank. The Online banking is fast
gaining ground in Pakistan. Some software companies are also offering network-
banking facilities. So Habib bank should focus heavily on providing online banking
faculties to its customers. Currently it is doing the same.
Internship Report 23 Habib Bank Limited
Large corporate customers can log into the bank's database and have access to
their accounts/transactions from their business houses. This facility has still not been
started for customers in Pakistan. So Habib can focus on that.
AUTOMATIC TELLER MACHINE (ATM)
This system is known as "Any Time Money" because it allows customers who have
an ATM card to withdraw money at any time from the bank without interacting with
human teller. Since the ATM machine can be installed anywhere like petrol bunks,
markets, railway stations etc, and can well be linked to the main computer. It allows
customers to transact with the bank 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. They allow
the customers to transfer money to and from accounts to view account information,
to receive cash. It can also be used to deposit cheques and cash into the
accounts. No bank in Pakistan is offering this service currently. So an opportunity
exists for Habib bank to differentiate.
Rate of return
The range and choice of products available & offered by the commercial banks is
limited. Rates of Return / Profits on Deposits are so low and unattractive that very
limited options are available to the depositors. They do not match the current rate of
inflation. HBL differentiate and increase it’s deposit by offering attractive rate of
return on deposits.
Internship Report 24 Habib Bank Limited
Threats
Threat can be defined as a change in external environment which if not met with
proper strategies will result in loss of revenues, market share, or income. In the
context of HBL’s external environment, the following potential threats exist:
Other private commercial bank with sound profitability is also a threat to HBL
denominations.
For the last of 2 to 3 years, Pakistan is facing economic and political instability
Afghan war and Iraq war has a deep effect on the economy of Pakistan, which
Increased regulations from State Bank of Pakistan may affect its business.

end of the lease term, he will not have to pay off the car’s residual value. Instead,
HBL will directly settle this outstanding liability for customer under the buy back
guarantee. Hence, he can upgrade to a new car as frequently as two years without
any complication and hassle.
Affordability
With HBL CarToCar, customer only has to pay the difference between the car price
and the pre-agreed residual value to the bank. As a result, the monthly installment
may even be 40% to 50% less than that of conventional financing.
Flexibility
HBL CarToCar offers customers several choices at the end of the lease term:
• Upgrade - Simply return the car to HBL and drive a new one home
• Walk away - Return the car to HBL and end the lease
• Buy - Keep the same car. Just make a one-time settlement of the car’s residual
value to HBL or pay the same in easy installments over a specified extended period
of time
• Sell - Enjoy the gain from selling off the car at a higher price in the market than
what you ay HBL as the residual value

Learning as an intern
As every body knows that "Knowledge without practice is sterile "In order to give
vent to this idea an Internship program of six to eight weeks has been arranged in
different esteemed organizations during M.COM. In this regard on 1st of AUG 2015, I
was asked by Mr. Mirza Saeed (HR officer in HBL regional office Harnai) to go to
Habib Bank Harnai branch to start an internship of seven weeks there. During this
period I got a chance to work and learn in following departments of the bank:
Foreign exchange department
Bills clearing department
Credit department
I.T department
Cash department
Accounts, ATM and Lockers department
And I also came to know about the different types of stamps and their use in
particular situation like DAK RECEIVED stamp and CLEARING stamp. After
attaching add list, clearing instruments are handed over to NIFT for further
processing. These clearing instruments are delivered to their respective banks for
clearance by NIFT. I also learnt in case of Banker’s Cheques how to verify signature
from the book in which all the signatures of authorized persons of HBL are given with
their specific code. And I also worked on OBC (Outward bank collection) forwarding
schedule. I came to know the process of sending cheques or other clearing
instruments for clearance to zonal branch of another region.
Filling vouchers
Assigning OBC numbers
Making entries in OBC register
CNIC of customer and two references, CNIC verification report from NADRA,
customer’s account statement, finance agreement form etc.
I also came to know about different types of securities which a bank demands from
customer while issuing loan. e.g. Guarantees, Mortgage, Hypothecation and Pledge.
the system and then printing that information on one corner of the letters. This also
turns out to be a very informative experience for me. I learn and get a chance to
work on computer software that the HBL is using, how to view account information,
checking balances and updating the information.
(3) Due to my familiarity with their computer software I was given another task of
updating account information on their computer system MISYS. Like account
holder’s name, address, CNIC number etc. In case of any problem I was consulting it
with Mr. Asif Iqbal. This task gave me more chances to learn about the computer
system of HBL and also I can proudly say that I have my own share of working in
computerizing HBL’s record.

The past two years data shows an improvement in the return on equity which is a

Recommendations
As we seen from the previous analysis of the financial statements I have realized
that that Habib Bank is performing very well since its inception. It is quite difficult to
give suggestion to improve the banking conditions Habib Bank Limited. As we know
that nothing is perfect, there is always a room for improvement, so I will recommend
following suggestions for HBL:
Habib Bank is going towards mobile banking but the problem is that a
common client has no idea of its usage due to lack of marketing. I
think that a proper marketing programme must be launched for client’s
awareness.
Bank should help the society by providing interest free loans to the
Talented Students.
Bank should adopt such an induction plan that when a customer opens
his account with the bank he should be supplied with a booklet which
enables him to know the procedure of filing the cheques, pay-in-slip
etc. It will save a lot of time of the bank staff afterward during the
conduct of the account of that customer.
The attitude of the bankers with all of their customers is not the same;
they pay more attention and good service to some of the customers
and neglect a major portion of them. Some of the customers approach
to the bank officials and get their work done before others; it is not a
good practice. All the customers should be treated equally.
