PREFACE
Prerequisite of B.Com(Hons.) study is to undergo internship. I got the opportunity
to join the MCB Ghallah Mandi Branch, Bahawalnagar for the said purpose for a
period of 6 weeks.
Practical involvement was a great experience as interactions both with the
experienced executives and clients cemented the base of knowledge I have been
acquiring in the classroom.
This internship report includes the material about MCB and different departments
along with their working procedure.
For the completion of this project I met the various persons of these organizations.As far as my knowledge and hard work is concerned this report will provide a good

learned very much under their guidance.

Pakistan after getting its independence, did not inherit a strong banking industryand since then saw a number of events in the industry, like the nationalization ofbanks in the 1970s. However today, the banking industry of Pakistan has been
growing over the past few years, mainly because of the consistent policiesimplemented by the Government of Pakistan, including the privatization of banksin Pakistan. Also the State Bank of Pakistans, monetary policy has been veryfriendly toward the banking industry.

HISTORY
This bank was incorporated under companies act 1913 on 9th July, 1947(just before partition) at Calcutta. But due to changing scenario of theregion, the certificate of incorporation was issued on 17th August, 1948
with a delay of almost 1 year; the certificate was issued at Chitagong. The
first Head office of the company was established at Dacca and Mr. G.M.Adamjee was appointed its first chairman. It was incorporated with anauthorized capital of Rs. 15 million.
After some time the registered office of the company was shifted to Karachion August 23rd, 1956 through a special resolution, now recently the Headoffice of MCB has been transferred to Islamabad in July, 1999 and nowHead office is termed as Principle Office.This institute was nationalized with other on January 1st, 1974. At that timeit had 506 branches and deposits amounting to Rs. 1,640 million. Although.MCB has a reputation of a conservative bank but nationalization also left itseffects on this institute as well and by end of year 1991 in which it wasprivatized the total number of branches were 1.287 and deposits amountingto as high as Rs. 35,029 million.
When privatization policy was announced in 1990, MCB was the first to beprivatized upon recommendations of World Bank and IMF. The reason forthis choice was the better profitability condition of the organization andless risky credit portfolio which made'' it a good choice for investors. On
April 8th, 1991, the management control was handed over to NationalGroup (the highest bidders). Initially only 26% of shares were sold to
private sector at Rs. 56 per share.

Due to the sudden down turned in the economy and the sharp decline in ;equity
prices, Karachi Stock Exchange placed a floor mechanism on individual security
prices whereby they could vary within the normal circuit breakout limit but notbelow the floor price. This mechanism remained in place from August 28,2008 to
December15,2008, consequent to the removal of floor mechanism the KSE 100-
index fell to the level of 6,037 points against its all time high level of about 15,676
points. This resulted into significant diminution in the value of Banks investment
in equity share held under Available for Sale (AFS)category. Keeping in view
this deteriorated situation, SBP&SECP issued instructions whereby they gave the
option to companies to charge the diminution directly to equity without routing it
through profit &loss account and then while adjusting the future prices, amortize
the same on quarterly basis during 2009. total impairment loss on the basis ofmarket values of Dec. 31,2008 of all equity shares under AFS came to 4893.73
million.
As for as the current financials under review are concerned, profit before tax has
registered an increase of Rs.560 million over 2007 and is reported at
Rs.21.9jbillion for 2008. the Banks profit after tax for the year 2008 was Rs. 15.4
billion, and increase of Rs. 109million over the profit reported for the year 2007.
Interest income remained the main contributor towards the Banks total income.
Markup income has gained momentum in 2008 with an increase of 26% over the
previous year.
The share of markup on loans and advances (30 billion) continued to dominate the
overall composition of the markup income for the Bank(Rs.40 billion).
In non-markup income, the major contribution of 2.86 billion was from fee,
commission and brokerage income which increased by 8.8% over 2007. however,
the total non-markup income for the Bank registered a decline of Rs.657 million in
2008 compared to the previous year. This decrease was primarily due to lower
returns from equity investments.

Due to high inflation the cost to income ration has gone up to 24.47% from 18.57%
in 2007. however, this ration still remains one of the lowest in the industry.
Despite the challenging times faced by the Bank in 2008, the balance sheet has
witnessed considerable improvement over 2007. assets increased by Rs.34
billion-8% over the previous year whereas liabilities increased by R.30 billion-
8.4% over the previous year,=. This has resulted in an increased in shareholders
equity before surplus of Rs.52 billion up by 15%over 2007.
The increase in assets was driven primarily by the increase in Advances and
lending to financial institutions which grew by 19% and 290% respectively. TheAdvance portfolio showed a remarkable growth with the corporate portfolio taking
the lead. Performance was strong both I volumes and rated of return. To ensure
optimal segmental diversification the Bank executed strategic monitoring of
portfolio expansion through diversification. Adverse economic conditions and
increased discount rates have contributed to a ramp rise in non-performing loans in
the overall Banking sector. Consequently, Banks classified portfolio was also
adversely affected by a sharp increase in NPLs of 70% from Rs10.7 billion in 2007
to Rs. 18.3 billion in 2008. This has also been reflected in the gross NPL to
Advances ratio which has increased from4.67% in 2007 to 6.63% in 2008.
Similar to the previous yea, in 2008 Banks major concentration of investment
remained in Government securities, followed by shares in listed companies and a
portion in debentures &TFCs. Due to the strong and extensive branch network,
deposits of the bank have registered a growth of Rs.38 billion. This increase is
primarily driven by the growth in current deposits of 13.3% and fixed deposits
growth of 92%. The favorable deposits mix has been instrumental in maintaining
the cost of funds on the lower side.
Reported earnings per share grew from 24.30 in 2007 24.47 in 2008. The return on
Equity and return on assets have decr3eased mainly due to the increase in equity
(35%) and an increase in assets of 20%. Due to the collapse of the stock market in
2008, MCBH share price registered a blow and closed significantly lower than the
same period last year. However, despite these circumstances, the performance of

and their smooth implementation, the role of banks in todays economy have
become an important one.
The banking industry is also reaping the fruits of this economic boom by growing
rapidly over the past few years. There are a number of mergers happening in the
economy with foreign investments coming into the banking sector.

maintain an online connection of the branch with other branches and also the ATM
link, which may include using modern technologies like fiber cables, routers etc.
Also backup links should also be developed,
Also a proper IT department should be established in all branches, with
professional having the knowledge to maintain a secured connection with other
banks. Also scheduled backups of data should be done with in the bank.
Workshops and CounselingWorkshops and CounselingWork shop programs should be conducted in every city, rather than just two
centers, for all Bank Alfalah employees. These workshops should relate to all
aspects of banking and may also be conducted with other banks as a joint program.
Also as parts of the human resource training, counseling programs should be
started for junior executives or new entrants into the bank, introducing them to
their prospects in this industry.
The lower staff employed at Bank Alfalah should also be given a chance to
succeed in life by training them in different simple jobs at the bank, which my
include sorting of cheques, phone banking etc.

number of ideas generated and even produce innovative products for the bank thatmight give them the edge.
Placements of EmployeesPlacements of EmployeesThere are some departments in the bank that do not have enough employees, while
some have more than needed. All this creates inefficiencies and so the operations

there are less employees or rotate employees from other departments.
