INTERNSHIP REPORT
1) Introduction of Banking
“Bank is a pipeline through which currency moves into and out of circulation.”
Bank accepts deposits and repays cash to its customers on their demand. The bank
borrows money at a lesser rate of interest and lends it to the borrowers at a higher rate.
It is thus a profit-lending concern. Bank cannot lend all the money that has been
deposited with it. It has to keep a certain portion of the total deposits in cash with
them in order to meet the cash requirements of the individuals and business concern.
1.1 Banking History
Word Bank is said to be derived from the words Bancus or Banque. The history of
banking is traced to as early as 200 BC. 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 people. The persons who had surplus money
found it safe and convenient to 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 drawn in such a way that it entitles 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
development of banking thus was the issue of bank notes.
The goldsmiths soon discovered that all the people who had deposited money with
them did not come to withdraw their funds in cash. They found that only a few
Page | 1
INTERNSHIP REPORT
persons presented the receipt for encashment during a given period of time. They also
found that most of the money deposited with 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 money deposited with them to the needy
persons. This proved quite a profitable business for the goldsmiths. They instead of
charging interest from the depositors began to give them interest on the money
deposited with them. This was the THIRD STAGE, in the development of banking.
.
1.2 Commercial Banking in Pakistan
At the time of partition total number of Banks was 38 only. Out of these Banks the
Pakistani Banks were only 2, Indian Banks 29, Exchange Banks were 7. The total of
deposits of Pakistani Banks was Rs.880 Million and advances were Rs.198 Million.
According to banking companies ordinance Banks are the companies, which transacts
the business of banking in Pakistan. Commercial Banks have constituted the most
important part of the intuitional credit in the economy of Pakistan. Being the largest
source of credits, banking industry is a pivot of whole the economic activities in
Pakistan. Section 37(2A) of State Bank of Pakistan Act 1965 lays down that the
Banks must have paid-up-capital and reserve of not less than Rs.5 Lac and fulfilling
certain other requirements for declaring as “Scheduled Bank”.
At the time of independence Bank services was badly affected. But with the passage
of time these are improving. The Government of Pakistan nationalized all Banks in
early 1974. This act was done to minimize control of few hands over banking. But
this step was proved futile for the banking in Pakistan. So the Govt. had to revise its
decision in 1990. Two Banks Allied Bank of Pakistan Limited and Muslim
Commercial Bank of Pakistan Limited have been denationalized. Since then Banks
were working well.
Now slogan of the Banks is to serve their customers in the best possible manner.

lending.

earning assets and the cost of funds as a percentage of average paying funds.
The higher the spread the higher will be the profit margin.

Profit before tax to total income
Operating Income - Operating Cost = Profit before Tax
This ratio tells what percent of total income is earned before paying all the
taxes.
BOP has a high value of profit before tax to total income and they are
decreasing after 2012 because of increase in administrative expenses and
righting off the bad debts.
The main reasons for reduction in profitability were additional provision
against NPL due to the elimination of benefit of FSV and downturn in
consumer and individual banking.

This ratio tells what percent of interest is covered from the total income of
the firm or bank.

Profitability of BOP is increased because of the decrease in tax paid to Govt.
and of high spread ratio.
BOP negotiated their taxes with the Govt. and only paid 20% tax in 2012 and
only 8% in 2013 instead of 35%.

turnover by assets.

This ratio gives an idea of retuning net profit generated by the bank in
comparison with assets.
Return on assets = Profit after Tax/Total Assets
This ratio is decreasing in the last year because of decrease in profit as
expenses rose up.
The decrease was mainly due to increased equity as a result of increase in
minimum capital requirements and additional provision due to withdrawal of
benefit of FSV for most types of advances.

earned from a share equivalent to the worth of 1 Rs MPS by the bank or a
firm.

and the cost of funds as a percentage of average paying funds.

11) Conclusion
Marketing project is an interesting program, which gave us the practical touch of the
field. Through this, we learnt that what is the exact activities in the sectors and
approaches which they used when they are making their products. We learnt from the
company Manager and understood the operations of company. This program
enhanced my knowledge about the industry.
12) Recommendations
BOP policy frame work should be clear and should be transparences
BOP are required to motivate their supervisor, branch managers that they treat
with their employees fairly
BOP should improve its Performance appraisal system and it must be on merit
Employee training is essential, BOP should conduct training program for their
workers.
Page | 34
INTERNSHIP REPORT
BOP should make a good working condition; e.g. branch physical
environment, working desk etc. if possible avoid overcrowding and allow each
worker his or her own personal space.
BOP should administer the associate performance review program
BOP should build a formal recognition program, like employee of the month.
Etc.
