PROMINENT FEATURES
SBP allowed exporters obtain foreign currency loans against firm contracts L/Cs and MCB made arrangements for clients to use the facility at EPZ branch, Karachi and off-Shore Banking Unit, Bahrain for the purpose. It also offered services to clients for procuring foreign currency loans from abroad. The other significant development is the launching of the MCB Imdad-e-Bahami Scheme for Housing Improvement in addition to commercial lending; MCB has accepted the responsibility to offer social lending. The scheme, launched with the cooperation of the Swiss institution aims at providing easy credit to low income group is urban areas to improve their living condition. Other Prominent features are as follow: Committee Structure Organizational culture Customer Service Automation & Modernization International Appearance Employees Mgt Relation Human Resource
COMMITTEE STRUCTURE
MCB employs a very strong committee structure to oversee decision by decentralized operations. Officers are given strict limit to authority. Within prescribed limit, officers do indeed make their own decision- but according to guidelines, procedures, and rules. Decision outside of prescribed limits is taken to high-level committees.
ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE
Officers of the bank don't need to spend a lot of time into whether they should consider issues or ideas. They just know their certain parameters beyond which they won't go.
26
COMSATS Sahiwal Institute of Information Technology
An Internship Report The employees in the organization are well dressed, well communicated and well cooperative. Officers learn what these parameters are through their experience with various committees through process osmosis. In visiting and in participating on committees, individuals get to see what their cohorts are doing. Cross - fertilization of ideas occurs and, often, morale is helped. Major corporate policy changes occur through a process of involvement by levels of management.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
Perhaps the most important yardstick for testing the success oriented organization is in the area of customer services and it is in this very sphere that MCB have made the leading strides. To eliminate delays in dealing with credit proposals, of which complaints were frequent is the past, an effective three lier system was introduced instead of six lier system. Under this new system adequate sanctioning powers were delegated to Branch, Regional and General Managers and also to the senior executives in charge of credit at the Head Office. Only proposals exceeding their powers are now considered in the credit/executive committee. As a part of the new system, the role of the Head office was redefined from supervisory to supporting only the inspection division at the Head Office now has a supervising role for ensuring the implementation of the Banks Directives. The new policy and the restructuring of the system had a two fold positive outcome. Customers were provided improved services and needed facilities. The Banks executives and other staff come to possess a new sense of confidence and dignity in their jobs.

ISLAMIC BANKING
The thrust for Islamic Banking is founded on the desire to submit to the Divine Instructions on all transactions, particularly those involving exchange of money for money. However, it would be quite unfair to limit Islamic Banking to elimination of Riba only. At the heart of Islamic Banking is a system of commercial transactions that not only provides Halal modes of commercial transactions by avoiding that which is obnoxious and objectionable, but also fosters ethical, fair and just practices. A key element of Islamic economics is distribution of equitable rewards to the different factors of production. Islamic economic system seeks system of Redistributive justice where concentration of wealth in a few hands is countered and flow of money into economy is fluent. Islamic Banking is, therefore, seen as a lynchpin to achieving the economic and social goals of the Islamic economic system. "The credit would go to MCB for establishing first dedicated Islamic branch in Pakistan. Besides, the Islamic Banking Division (IBD) established a full-fledged Advisory Board for Islamic Finance, headed by Rashid Rehman, which is working since January 1, 2003.

SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS
We make every effort to exceed customers expectations through superior and wide array of financial services on the challenge of understanding their need and aspirations, both realized and unrealized, so that we can satisfy them with surety and security. MCB is the first Pakistani privatized bank and because of its quality management, marketing, innovation in products and services. Owing to all such factors they have established a good reputation in the banking market. The name of MCB makes you recall the highly cooperative and professional individuals ready to serve you with maximum zeal and zest. MCB have faster banking services that are making it more prominent in the banking industry especially in operations and Foreign exchange. The customer prefers this bank not only because of its faster speedy service rather due to reasonable service charges. MCB in Pakistan is the also in the list of highly automated banks like Emirates because of its modern style of banking through fully computerized control and twenty four hour banking. The joining of experienced people, advanced management, advance setup and facilities gave MCB an edge over its competitors.
WEAKNESSES
The majority of people are not well aware of the products of MCB. Therefore it should advertise extensively. There are no proper HR policies, In MCB there is lack of specialized skill because of job rotation policy of human resource department also. The bank should concentrate upon increasing its abilities on individual service basis.

OPPORTUNITIES
As economy is growing, there is more investment demand in Pakistan. Banks have opportunity to enhance their business. The number of salaried persons is increasing with the economy structure of the country. This creates opportunity in consumer financing.
THREATS
The Competition has become severe by the entrants of so many banks, So to exist one will have to prove himself in its services through excellent management and will have to satisfy its shareholders. Otherwise he will be out the market. The decrease purchasing power of consumer in the current economic situation of the country affecting the business activity speed too much and the result is the low investment from the investors in new projects can create problem for the bank because it is working a lot in trade. The State Bank of Pakistan often imposes various restrictions on banks. Therefore, none of banks is independent in policy making and can launch any product without the permission of the State Bank of Pakistan.

INTERNSHIP ACTIVITIES
OBECTIVE OF INTERNSHIP
This internship was the part of my study course, so objective of this internship was to learn and gain some practical experience. During my MBA program, I studied many courses about finance, management etc. Here my aim was to see the application of this bookish knowledge and its practical implementation.

So my aim was to learn how banks deal with corporate and general information about rules and regulation of banks. My second objective of this internship was to learn about general banking, as customer. I tried to get experience, how to work with people of different age, different educational background, and different interests.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Last years performance shows that the Muslim Commercial Bank is increasing its profitability and its deposits. MCB should also capture the government account. Bank must let potential customers know that all attractions for banking exist. This is done by advertising on television and obtaining press coverage, in conjunction with direct mail, window displays, leaflet in branches and in appropriate other locations (such as hotels, shops, etc.) and including leaflets in statement of accounts sent to existing customers in the hope that they will tell potential customers about the services provided by our bank. Financially unsophisticated people might feel bank accounts, cheque books, credit cards, etc. are difficult to understand and to keep control thereof. To manage its all branches MCB should establish the intranet system in all branches. MCB should increase the line of product to attract the new clients. Those activities, which a person can perform, should be integrated to save time.
increasingly want to deal with the bank in other ways, such as home banking or use of Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), which need to be at the branch or some important shopping plazas.
Arguably, there has been a little encouragement from banks to persuade people
to open a bank account. Opening hours are restricted, and there is a commonly held belief that banks operate for their convenience and not for the convenience of the customers.
A short term promotional technique is to offer price incentives, for example, low
interest rates on advances or limited issue high profit bearing term deposits.

CONCLUSION
MCB is the one of the best bank in local banking sector. Its growth rate is highest. There are some flaws but MCB has potential to become top ranking bank in Pakistan banking industry. My basic purpose of this internship is to learn about the working of bank. During my internship I got knowledge about general banking and advances. Staff member of MCB are cooperative with me and really help me to achieve my objective.
