BUSINESS VOLUME

MBL shows a rise in profits for the 9 months ended September 2009. The profit before tax has
risen by 44% to Rs 1.1 billion as compared to the 9 months ended 2008. While for the same
period, the profit after tax rose by 24% to Rs 654 million. This increase in overall profitability
of the firm for the 3 quarters till September 2009 can be attributed to the massive 208% rise in
total other income from Rs 391 million to Rs 1.2 billion. For the period 3Q08, Total Other
Income made up only 15% of the 'Net Spread after Provisions + Total Other Income' figure.
But this percentage composition changed significantly during 3Q09 to 33.5%. This sharp
increase is due to a whooping 220% rise in the 'Income from Dealing in Foreign Currencies'
from Rs 194 million to Rs 621 million. However, it is important to note that although the
growth rates of 'Net Spread after Provisions + Total Other Income' and 'Total Other Expenses'
for 3Q09 are 40% and 38% respectively (in comparison to 3Q08) depicting a difference of a
mere 2%, the profit before tax has still gone up by 44%. This is because the profit figures are
still not very high in absolute terms and even a small increase can appear in the form of high
percentage growth.

The asset quality has been strengthened as the bank took some wise steps to improve the
coverage of the non-performing portfolio. Further provision of Rs 1,254 million was made
during the current 9 months compared to a charge of Rs 254 million in the corresponding
period of last year. Administrative and Operating Expenses increased from Rs 1,826 million to
Rs 2,531 million primarily due to higher staff expenses, rent and cost associated with branch
expansion. The bank further plans to open 34 new branches by the end of December 2009
despite current economic and political turmoil, which would increase the total number of
branches to 201.
The total assets crossed an important milestone of Rs 100 billion whilst PAT rose by 24%.
This growth has been spurred by the increase in the MBL's branch network as a result of which
deposits increased from Rs 70.2 billion to Rs 87.7 billion, an increase of 33% on an annualized
basis which is substantially higher than the annualized deposit growth of 12.65% recorded by

6.CLEARING DEPARTMENT

Meaning of clearing

The word clearing has been derived from the word “Clear” and is defined as a system by which
banks exchange cheques and other negotiable instruments draw on each other within a specified
area and thereby secure payment for their client through the clearing house which is in State
Bank of Pakistan at specified time in an efficient way.

Advantages of Clearing

1. Since clearing does not involve any cash etc and all the transaction takes place through
book entries, the number of transactions can be unlimited.
2. No cash is needed; as such the risks of robbery, embezzlements and pilferage are totally
eliminated.
3. As major payments are made through clearing, the banks can manage cash payment at the
counters with a minimum amount of cash in vaults.
4. A lot of time, cost and labour are saved.

INTERNSHIP REPORT Page 26


5. Since it provides an extra service to the customers of banks without any service charger
or costs, more and more people are inclined and attracted towards banking.

Clearing House
It is a place where representatives of all scheduled banks sit together and interchange their claims
against each other with the help of controlling staff of State Bank of Pakistan and where there is
no branch of State Bank of Pakistan the designated branch of National Bank of Pakistan acts as
controlling member.

Working of clearing house


All the bank which are the member of clearing house maintain accounts with State Bank of
Pakistan by debit and credit to which the clearing settlements are made. If on a particular day, a
bank delivers cheques and other negotiable instruments worth more than the total amount of
Cheque received by it that banks accounts with State Bank of Pakistan would be credited with
the differential amount. If on the other hand the total amount of cheques and other negotiable
instruments draw on a certain bank by other bank is more than the total amount receivable by it
from other banks, then this bank’s account will be debited on that day.

The cheque delivered to the representatives of other banks for clearing is called outward
clearing, whereas cheques received from the representatives of other banks for payment are
called inward clearing.

Outward Bills for Collection

Car Ijarah, Pakistan’s First Islamic Car Financing
As a step towards Meezan Bank’s mission to provide a one-stop shop for
innovative value added Shariah compliant products, Meezan Bank’s ‘Car Ijarah’
unit provides a car financing, based on the principles of Ijarah and is free of the
element of interest.
"Car Ijarah"
Car Ijarah is Pakistan’s first "Interest Free" car
financing based on the Islamic financing
mode of Ijarah (Islamic leasing). This product is
ideal for individuals looking for car financing
while avoiding an interest-based transaction.
Meezan Bank’s Car Ijarah is a car rental
agreement, under which the Bank purchases the
car and rents it out to the customer for a period of 3 to 5 years, agreed at the time
of the contract. Upon completion of the lease period the customer gets ownership
of the car against his initial security deposit.
Car Ijarah is unique and is approved by Meezan Banks Shariah Board
Car Ijarah, designed under the supervision of Meezan Banks Shariah Supervisory
Board, is unique to car leasing facilities provided by other banks.
Rights & liabilities of Owner v/s User
An Islamic Ijarah is an asset-based contract, i.e. the Lessor should have ownership
of the asset during the period of the contract. Under Islamic Shariah, all ownership
related rights and liabilities should lie with the owner while all usage-related rights
and liabilities should lie with the user. A conventional lease contract does not
distinguish between the natures of these liabilities and places all liabilities on the
user of the asset, contradictory to Islamic Shariah. Under Ijarah, all ownership-
related risks lie with the Bank while all usage related risks lie with the user, thus
making the Lessor the true owner of the asset and making the income generated
through the contract permissible (Halal) for the Bank.

Continuation of lease rentals in case of total loss or theft of vehicle

INTERNSHIP REPORT Page 37


If the leased vehicle is stolen or completely destroyed, the conventional leasing
company continues charging the lease rent till the settlement of the Insurance
claim. Under the Islamic system, rent is consideration for usage of the leased asset,
and if the asset has been stolen or destroyed, the concept of rental becomes void.
As such, in the above-mentioned eventualities, Meezan bank does not charge the
lease rental.
Process of Ijarah

. .
VENDOR ISLAMIC BANK Agreement-1 CUSTOMER

 The customer approaches the Bank with the request for financing and enters
into a promise to lease agreement.
 The Bank purchases the item required for leasing and receives title of
ownership from the vendor.
 The Bank makes payment to the vendor
 The Bank leases the asset to the customer after execution of lease agreement.
 The customer makes periodic payments as per the contract.
 Title transfers to the customer on the completion of period.

VENDOR ISLAMIC BANK Agreement-2 CUSTOMER

Permissibility for Penalty of Late Payment of Rent under Islamic Shariah


In most contemporary financial leases, an extra monetary amount is charged, ‘in
their income’, if the rent is not paid on time. This extra amount is the considered as
Riba and is Haram. Under Ijarah, the Lessee may be asked to undertake, that if he
fails to pay rent on its due date, he will pay certain amount to a charity, which will

INTERNSHIP REPORT Page 38


be administered through the Islamic Bank. For this purpose the bank maintains a
charity fund where such amounts may be credited and disbursed for charitable
purposes.

Key Features of Car Ijarah


 Ease of acquiring any new locally assembled car
 No upfront Insurance Payment
 No advance Rental
 Available in tenures of 3, 4 and 5 years
 Minimum security deposit as low as 15%
Car Ijarah also features Used Vehicles
In addition to our leasing of new cars, Meezan Bank also provides the unique
opportunity of leasing second hand, locally assembled, vehicles as well. This
feature is specifically designed as a highly economical option. The Used Car Ijarah
facility is made available at a minimum-security deposit as low as 20%.
Used Car Selection Criteria
 The second hand car selected should be from its first owner.
 The vehicle should not be older than 5 years.
 The minimum security deposit for a vehicle up to 2 years of age is 20%,
while minimum security deposit for a vehicle over 2 years of age is 30%.
 At the time of termination of the Ijarah agreement, the vehicle should not be
more than 8 years old. This means that if a car is 5 years old, the Car Ijarah
tenure is not more than 3 years and if its 4 years old, the tenure may be set
for a maximum 4 year term.
 This facility is for locally manufactured cars of Suzuki, Toyota, Honda &
the new model of Santro only.

ISLAMIC HOUSING FINANCE

Halal home finance


Owning a home is one of life’s most important achievements. It represents one’s
security, stability and is indeed a great blessing. A house provides the essential
shelter, safety and comfort for both oneself and their loved ones. However, rising
property prices, taxes, inflation and currency devaluation are only a few of the
many reasons, which often make purchasing a home a far-fetched dream. However
the possibility of owning one’s own home by paying easy installments provides a
step-by-step way toward complete ownership of a house, saving one from paying a
rent that would only further add to their monthly expense.
Added to that is the desire to stay away from interest based financing and be totally
Riba free, achieving that inner satisfaction and peace of mind one always desires.
Why not have the best of both worlds? Is that not what one work so hard for?
Meezan Bank’s Home Finance can aid in making the dream of owning a house
both easily and Riba free

regularly by the partnership to reflect your growing equity and to allocate
increasing amounts to your investment. When you have made the full investment,
which had been agreed, you become the sole owner with a free and clear title to the
property.
With a declining balance or shared equity purchase, your total monthly payment is
reallocated regularly to reflect your growing equity. When the first payment is
made, the larger share is allocated by the Bank towards the use of the home, an
amount that is described in the contract as rent. The balance is allocated towards
building the customers schedule advances, a smaller or diminishing portion is

applied to the use of the property and an increasing portion towards building
equity.

FINANCIAL RATIOS

RATIO ANALYSIS:
Ratio analysis involves the method of calculating and interpreting financial ratio to access the
bank’s performance and status. The basic input to ratio analysis is the bank’s income statement
and balance sheet for the period to be examined.

INTERNSHIP REPORT Page 42


Ratio analysis of bank’s financial statement is of interest to shareholders. Creditors and the
bank’s higher management, both present and perspective shareholders are interested in the
bank’s current and future level of risk and return. These two dimensions directly affect share
price. The bank’s creditors are primarily interested in the short-term liquidity of the bank and its
ability to make interest and principal payments. A secondary interest of the creditors is the
bank’s profitability. In addition, management uses ratios to monitor the bank’s performance from
period to period.

SWOT ANALYSIS
Strengths
 Meezan have moved rapidly in expanding branches network nationally and internationally. More

than 200 branches are working presently throughout Pakistan under conventional and Islamic

banking divisions.

 Very strengthful aspect of the business of the bank is that it has more deposit base which is very

important and giving a strong base to the foundations of the banking business.

 Profitable advances is again a very prominent feature in a sense that the customers are satisfied

rather the bank is not so strong if issuing more loans but according to the policies and

management rules customers and their satisfaction is at the first priority.

INTERNSHIP REPORT Page 54


 As a business entity and to get more cutting edge in the competitive market Bank Meezan has

been growing since last few years and is very curious in increasing the range of products, thus

providing a vast variety under one roof.

 Again as a business entity bank has to improve the status of the services provided to its customers

so that they should prefer themselves as well as they must advertise the bank in the market

through their own believe and experience as a customer of the bank.

 Transparency in customer dealings is the strength of bank in the sense that they do never deceive

their customers and fair deal is working motto.

 Internationally operating organization

 Provides the complete range of financial services to all segments under one roof.

 Managing customer experience

 Providing value to the stakeholders of the bank.

 Friendly environment of the bank.

 More excellent service regarding home finance

 More excellent service regarding car financing

 More excellent service regarding agri-financing

 Customers refer other people to enjoy different schemes and open their accounts.

Weaknesses
 The majority of people are not well aware about the products of Bank Meezan.

 There should be advertisements especially for home, agri & car loans, Credit Cards.

 Bank official time of closing is 6:00 pm but due Mismanagement of time employees leave their

desk at 8.00 pm which is so hectic and cause employee frustration.

INTERNSHIP REPORT Page 55


 Many of the customer’s complaint that there should be two or more person who will guide people at

entrance where they have to move, concerned person and department, teach how to fill forms,

slips and cheques.

 The customer have to wait at peak hours on the counter for deposit

 Online payment slips need plenty of time to go through

 No proper name plates are available for the employees table.

 Cultural values are somewhere strong and somewhere are very weak

Opportunities
 The policies of the new government to uplift the economy and pursue financial sector reforms are

expected to yield positive results in the banking industry of the country. The Bank Meezan is very

well praised to avail promising opportunities.

 As a result of the different steps taken by the Government regarding the betterment of the

economy, small borrowers are attracted to get the financing and start small businesses. So, the

Bank Meezan has an opportunity to attract the customers by giving them attractive schemes.

 The need of privatization has made people to switch to banks to satisfy their needs of lending and

borrowing. This not only increases the deposits but also the credit business.

 Bank Meezan is surrounded by many competitors it has an opportunity to aggressive marketing to

increase its business.

INTERNSHIP REPORT Page 56


 Government is taking very bold steps to promote IT in Pakistan Bank Meezan has an opportunity to

improve in IT stock exchange is very volatile and takes immediate effect so in times of crises

conservative investors turns to saving deposits.

Threats
 Bank Meezan has many competitors who are continuously increasing their products and marketing

aggressively it may cause its customer to shift to its competitors. 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 privatization of other banks is also a threat for the Bank. Due to the privatization of the

different bank e.g. MCB; the competition has increased a lot. Furthermore many private banks

have come in the sector due to which it is becoming more difficult day by day to attract the

customers.

 The biggest threat in the banking sector is the continuous downfall of the country economy since

the last few years. If this downfall remains for more few years then it may be the great hindrance in

achieving the Bank’s objectives.

RECOMMENDATIO
NS
Finally, here are some suggestions for Meezan Bank Limited. These suggestions are based on my

observation while my stay at bank.

 This is a routine practice that in order to give personalized services to the customer, bank staff tries

to fill all the columns of AOF with their own handwriting, which is wrong. AOF must be filled in by

the customers. Bankers should avoid to fill in the AOF because it can create problem if the

address, title of account or any other information provided by the customer has not been written

properly. Customer may be affected or he may claim that the information was not provided by him,

INTERNSHIP REPORT Page 58


but if AOF is filled by the customer then bankers will not held responsible for any incorrect

information provided by the customer.

 Under no circumstances chequebook should be given to the customer if the account formalities are

incomplete.

 There are two officers involved in cash deposit process, which is time consuming. Cashier should

be given certain powers to receive cash of US$ to provide prompt services.

 Similarly, there are two officers involved in cheque payment process, which is time consuming.

Cashier should be given certain powers to pay cheques up to Rs. 25000/- to provide prompt

services.

 Cheques, which are drawn on Bank Meezan Branch and returned unpaid in clearing, are not

reflected in the statement of account of the customers. These cheques must be reflected in the

accounts so that credibility of the customers may be assessed.

 Audit should be held internally, rather there should be an audit department in the branch to make

audit on daily basis. This can become so, helpful as a different banks are having this department of

their own.

 Demand draft issuance procedure is very time consuming, as the has to wait for than almost half

an hour to get a Demand Draft. This operation must be one window operation.

 ATM machine is almost out of order most of the times. This facility is very important to provide to

the customers as they want to cash the money in no time and this is also not worthy for the bank

that its employees are using the ATMs of MCB or PICIC bank for the delivery of cash.

 No nameplates for the employees therefore customer can’t know the designation and name of any

of the employees working there in the bank.
