In order to operate an account with the bank, a customer has to open an account. In large
branches Grade 1, II or III officers is made responsible for opening new accounts. However in
small branches, the manager himself fulfills all the formalities for opening new accounts. It is
necessary because in case of fraud unintended overdraft, or negligence, the bank will have a
source to trace out the customer. Such source is established by asking the customer to bring an

25
existing customer of the bank that will introduce him to the bank. In order to protect against
losses resulting from fraud or unintended overdraft the account opening activity has been
formalized through certain steps. These steps include
• Formal Application: Customers are required to fill in the prescribed account opening
form, which the bank provides to the customers free of cost. In this basic information
about himself is provided by the customer like his name, address, occupation and nature

• Specimen Signature: The customer gives the banker a specimen signature generally
taken on a card specially designed for this purpose. Name of the customer and account

and the other on the cheques.
• Minimum Initial Deposits: The customer has to make a certain minimum deposits to
open an account. However, later on customer can withdrawn part of this amount but

When bank receives money from customers, it undertakes to repay the same upon demand. The

3.2.2 Credit Department


BankIslami offer different mode of financing according to Islamic mode. There are main two
types of Financing modes in bankislami Mudarabah and Musharakah. Other modes of
financing are divided in two categories Short term financing and long term financing.

3.2.2.1 Musharakah Financing


In Musharakah, a joint enterprise is formed for conducting some business in which all partners
share the profit according to a mutually agreed pre-determined ratio, whereas, the loss is shared
in the ratio of capital investment. From Shariah perspective, Musharakah is one of the preferred
modes of financing.
The scope of Musharakah is broad. Musharakah can be applied to fulfill project financing needs
as well as working capital financing needs of Corporate Clients. Since Musharakah transactions
are based on pure profit and loss sharing arrangement, therefore, the risks associated with such
transactions are greater as compared to other financing modes. Due to this reason, Musharakah
transactions are executed subject to satisfactory review of feasibility of the proposed
transaction/project.

3.2.2.2 Mudarabah Financing


Mudarabah is a kind of partnership where one partner gives money to another for investing in
a commercial enterprise. The investment comes from the first partner who is called 'Rabb-ul-
Maal' while the management of the business is an exclusive responsibility of the other, who is
called 'Mudarib'. The profits generated are shared according to a mutually agreed pre-
determined ratio, whereas, loss is borne by Rabb-ul-Maal unless the loss is due to negligence
of Mudarib.

at a future date in exchange for an advanced price fully paid on the spot. As a matter of
principle, the sale of a commodity which is not in the possession of the seller is unlawful. Thus,
the practice of Salam is legalized as an exception and is allowed under certain term and
condition. Salam is allowed for commodities only which are homogeneous and fungible in
nature i.e. every unit of the commodity should be identical and substitutable in nature e.g.

29

Chapter NO 6

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

6.1 SHORT FALL / WEAKNESSES OF ORGANIZATION

57
According to my observation, it is pointed out that there are some short comings in BankIslami

Mansehra.

Low Job Satisfaction:

It is becoming clear that the true lasting competitive advantage comes through human resources

and how they are managed. BIPL is not focusing on this critical issue as the job satisfaction

level of the employees working at BIPL, was quite low.

Lack of Specialization:

The employees are constantly rotated from one job to another job of the totally different

characteristic in and they do not have know-how of the working in other unrelated departments.

But I think this is not a very good tactics used by the management. Otherwise the situation

might be like this “ Jack of all and master none'.

Centralization:

There is a high degree of centralization in the bank. Almost all the decision-making is in the

hands of the upper management. But centralization is effective up to a certain level otherwise

it becomes inefficient and at times costly too. I personally observed that delay occurred in the

operations of the employees only due to the fact that they had not got any instructions from the

head office.

Lack of Training Facilities:

Presently there is no specific training program arranged for the new recruiters. They have to

learn based on their observations and also their mistakes. It takes a bit time for the fresh one to

learn the banking the result is huge amount of blunders, mistakes etc. resulting in monetary and

non-monetary losses for the bank. There is pressure not only on the new learner but also on the

58
person placed upon with this responsibility.

Less Experienced Staff:

The no. of experienced and well trained staff is very low. Majority of the staff working in the

bank branches is quite young and inexperienced. If the bank failed to bring down its high
employees turnover, then it would be lacking the most important resources of an organization

i.e. the experienced staff.

Customers unawareness about charges

Mostly customers are unaware about charges for DD, TT, PO etc. so manager should tell them

charges before giving form, through which wastage of time minimize.

Overburdened work

Employees are overburdened, so they have to stay at branch till late at night. Due to high work

load efficiency of employees are effected.

Lack of appreciation

Sometimes bank ignored the good performance of employees. If hard work of employees are
not appreciated, then they become dishearten and losses his interest in work.

RECOMMENDATIONS

⚫ It was an interested experience to do internship in BankIslami Pakistan Limited. The staff

59
was very cooperative and due to their help I learned big deal about modern banking.
⚫ I suggest that such an internship program highly integrative for the students of commerce
education so that the students should be inquired with the knowledge of practice world .I do
summarize that it would be a great help to me in selection of job or future field of work.
⚫ Here I am putting some suggestions, which will enable the bank to compete with other banks
more effectively & efficiently.
⚫ It is observed that the employees were overburdened so they have to stay at branch till late
at night. In this way their efficiency is affected and hiring more employees can reduce their
work.
⚫ The employees should be assigned jobs for specific period and than they should rotated to
other department so that they gain knowledge/ experience of other jobs.
⚫ BankIslami should properly advertise and Communicate to public about the services
provided by it, so that more customers will be attracted.
⚫ The bank’s management should give more incentives and pay scale of officers should be
revised & improved.
⚫ System and operations should be more defined and organized.
⚫ Administration drawbacks should be improved by the strict control of general issues.
⚫ Expenditures must be control, which are very high.
⚫ BankIslami has not strong position in market. So BankIslami should do heavy advertisement
both electronically and print media to create public awareness.
⚫ Branch manager should also arrange training programmers for existing employees to
improve their performance.
⚫ Proper distribution of work should follow to run the organization in smooth way.
⚫ There should be a complaint box in bank for hearing complaints of customers because most
of the people feel hesitation to go to manager for complaint.
⚫ IT department should be establishing in order to maintain connection with other banks.
