EXECUTIVE SUMMARAY
Pakistan after getting its independence, did not inherit a strong banking industry and since then
saw several events in the industry, like the nationalization of banks in the 1970’s. However
today, the banking industry of Pakistan has been growing over the past few years, mainly
because of the consistent policies implemented by the Government of Pakistan, including the
privatization of banks in Pakistan. Also, the State Bank of Pakistan’s, monetary policy has been
very friendly toward the banking industry.
There are number of different banks established in Pakistan, including local incorporated
commercial banks, foreign incorporated commercial banks, development financial institutions,
investment banks, discount & guarantee houses, housing finance companies, venture capital
companies, micro finance banks and Islamic banks.
It was incorporated by the Adamjee Group on July 9, 1947. The bank was established to
provide banking facilities to the business community of South Asia. The bank was
nationalized in 1974 during the government of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. This was the first bank
to be privatized in 1991 and the bank was purchased by a consortium of Pakistani corporate
groups led by Nishat Group. As of June 2008, the Nishat Group owns a majority stake in
the bank. The current President/CEO of the bank is Shoaib Mumtaz.
The group has a presence in the business sectors of the country such as banking, textile,
cement, and insurance. Mian Muhammad Mansha is chairman of both the group and MCB.
The bank has established an Islamic Banking unit to offer Shariah-compliant products and
services, with dedicated Islamic banking branches in six cities

1. History and Background of Organization:
In 2005, the name of the bank was changed from "Muslim Commercial Bank Limited" to
"MCB Bank Limited". This need was felt because the bank was already known and popular as
"MCB" among its clients and the public, and most people MCB today, represents a bank that has
grown with time and experience. A major financial institution, in scope and size, it symbolizes a
fully growing tree evergreen, strong, and firmly rooted. MCB is one of the leading banks of
Pakistan with a deposit base of about Rs. 280 billion and total assets of around Rs.300 billion.
The Bank has a customer base of approximately 4 million, a nationwide distribution network of
over 1,000 branches and over 450 ATMs in the market.
During the last fifteen years, the Bank has concentrated on growth through improving service
quality, investment in technology and people, utilizing its extensive branch network, developing
a large and stable deposit base.
The bank activity participating in the Prime Minister self-employment Scheme. The application
received from various applicants is being processed on merit and disposed off as quickly as
possible.would prefer it too as MCB instead of its full name.
In 2008, Maybank (Malaysia) announced the acquisition of 20% of the stake in MCB Bank
Limited's equity by purchasing a little more than 94 million ordinary shares from the Nishat
Group. This transaction amounted to MYR 2.17 billion (US$686 million) in value. The price
paid by the Maybank was Pak. Rupees 470 per ordinary share of MCB. As per Maybank, “The
acquisition is in line with Maybank's strategy, as Malaysia's financial services leader in the
region, to build its presence in key growth markets across the region.”
In 2000, the bank established its Islamic Banking Business Group and opened its first branch in
2003, by 2014 the Islamic Banking network had grown to 34 branches. This was in addition to
and separate from bank's 1,100 conventional banking branches. In 2015, given the potential of
Islamic Banking business, the bank proceeded to establish an independent but wholly owned
subsidiary bank named "MCB Islamic Bank Limited", referred to as "MIB "in short. MCB Bank
Ltd appointed Raza Mansha as its first chairman of the board of directors and Ali Muhammad
9
Mahoon as the first President of the MIB. Nationalization, In January 1974, the Government of
Pakistan nationalized MCB following the Banks(Nationalization) Act 1974. MCB was the only
bank which was nationalized solely asneither it nor any other bank being merged with it due to
its consistent and firm policiesand its sound position. Privatization, A wave of economic reforms
swept Pakistan in the lattes introducing the Need for privatization of state owned banks and
companies. This was the first bank to be privatizedin 1991 and the bank was purchased by a
consortium of Pakistani corporate groups led by Nishat Group. Nishat Group is one of the
leading and most diversified business groups inPakistan. The group has strong presence in the
most important business sectors of thecountry such as banking, textile, cement and insurance.

Bank deals in money and they are merely mobilizing funds within the economy. They borrow
from one person and lend to another, the difference between the rate of borrowing lending forms
their spread or gross profit. Therefore we can rightly state that deposits are the blood of the bank
which causes the body of an institution to get to work. These deposits are liability of the bank so
from point of view of bank we can refer to them as liabilities.
The total deposits of MCB are growing since its inauguration but after privatization there is a
sharp incline in over all deposits of the bank. The increase in deposits is also a cause of increase
on total number of accounts; bank has progressed in both aspects.
17
6.2.1 Types of deposit :
Every banker acts both as a paying as well as a collecting banker, It is however an important
function of crossed Cheques. A large part of this work is carried out through the bankers clearing
house. A clearing house is a place where representative of all banks of the city get together and
settle the receipts and payment of Cheques drawn on each other. As the collecting banker runs
certain risks in receipt of their ownership the law has provided certain protections to the banks.
Advances are the most important source of earning for the banks. MCB is also giving full
attention towards this aspect and it is also obvious from the growing portfolio of advances and
from very low delinquency rate. The credit portfolio of this institution is in a very much better
shape than other financial institutions of Pakistan and the credit goes to the management and the
staff who are concerned about the quantity and quality as well.

Interpretation:
From the analysis above we have seen that total assets of MCB (Pakistan) Limited has been
increased from 2018-2022. The main reason for this increase is that bank investment increase in
2009 with a large amount i-e 88%. Another reason for increase in assets of bank is the large
amount of balances of other banks. When we make a look on liabilities section of bank we have
analyzed that the banks liabilities have been increased in 2022 as compared to 2019 and 2020
which means that a large amount of debts have been taken by a bank in this year. Now move to
equity section from the analysis of bank’s capital we came to know that the total capital of bank
has been increased in 2022 than in previous years which is a favorable point for bank.
Hence the overall trend of the bank’s financial position that we have analyzed from horizontal
analysis is that. Bank’s total assets have been increased with a minimum amount from 2018-
2022 Bank’s investment shows a large amount of increase the main reason for this change is its
less lending to financial institutions and large amount of balances of other banks. The total
liabilities of bank also decreased which is not a favorable point but it may be due to change in
23
governmental policies or government regulations, country’s economic position and many other
factors. The capital of bank also shows a good point of bank’s financial position.

advances. The investments in 'held for trading' rose by 68.6% which was added to the
investments growth while nominal increases were observed in investments in 'held to maturity'

Interpretation:
Net income of MCB has been increased with a large amount in 2022 as compared to 2017,
2018, 2019 and 2021 .The main reason for this increase is:
Net mark up interest income is increased in 2021 because of loans and advances taken by
a bank in 2021 decreases with large amount.
Another reason for this increase is increases in net mark up interest earned by a bank.
Total non mark up interest income has been decreases in 2021.It were a large amount in
20017-2018 which was not a favorable point. Hence the horizontal analysis of askari
bank shows that company’s financial position was much better in 2021 as compared to
previous years.

Interpretation:
On the total mark up interest earned, the lager part is contributed by mark up interest expense in
2010 i.e. 64%
Profit after taxation is lower in 2010 as compared to previous years, because of more expenses
and payment of taxes by a bank in this year.
31
2018 2019 2020 2021 2022
Interpretation:
This ratio is also known as firm’s return on investment. It measures firm’s profit with its
available assets. In the year 2018 the MCB is generating profit through its available assets is
1.40%, while in last year 2022 it was 3.3% as shown in the graph. This shows that Bank is
generating more/high profit with its available assets, and its good for the Bank. The decline
regarding previous year is due to 14% decrease in profit for the year against 24% increase in
total assets.
Interpretation:
This ratio represents the number of rupee earned on behalf of each outstanding share of
common stock. The graph shows that there is too much decrease in earning per share in 2022 i.e.
1.48% as compared to year 2018 i.e. 7.48%. The decrease is mainly due to less then expected
increase in net interest income, drop of 14% in non-markup-income and 12% increase in
operating expenses. Also, the increase in number of shares has resulted in EPS to show a
declining trend.
32
Net Profit Margin:
Total Income
Interpretation:
This ratio measures the percentage of each sales dollar remaining after all cost and expenses,
including interest and tax, have been deducted. The higher this ratio the better is company. The
graph shows that the Net Profit Margin of MCB (Pakistan) Limited increases from 21.94% in
2005 to 50.44% in 2021.
10.1 Strengths:
33
10.2 Weakness:
.The overseas branch network of MCB is limited. It has only four overseas branches
whereas HBL has twenty overseas branches, three subsidiaries, twoaffiliates, and one
representative office. Similarly NBP has fifteen overseas branches, one subsidiary, and
four representative offices.
Employees at branch level are not properly motivated to work by heart.they take the all
routine activities as a boring job.
Most of the employees lack managerial training as they are not properlyeducated. Due to
seniority, they have moved up on the hierarchy line to Grade-I,II or III positions having
hardly bachelor degrees. This type of senior staff cannotapply the modern and innovative
techniques of management in decision making.
Mission of MCB is not well defined. It restricts MCB from extending itsoperations to
other countries. This is evident from this sentence of themission statement “Our mission
is to become the preferred provider of quality financial services in the country.. “either it
means that MCB willnot provide quality service in other countries where it operates or it
willnot extend its operations to other countries. In either case, the bank suffers.
10 .3 Opporunities:
MCB may enhance its Rupee Travelers Cheques (RTCs) sales bysearching for new
market niches.
It can introduce debit card system or may convert the existing ATM cardsinto a
complete debit card.
New products like personal loans mortgage and auto leasing and eachmanagement
which diversify credit risk and add to revenue generating products are currently
provided in big cities like Lahore, Islamabad,Karachi and Rawalpindi, these products
may be tested for success in other areas like Peshawar, Quetta and Sargodha.
Developing network for electronic transaction require huge investmentwhich cant be
made all at once, there exists an opportunity for MCB toenter into agreement with
other banks to use each others ATMs which willresult in an increased convenience to
MCB customers and customers of other banks
34
As all around the world remittances of money are strictly monitored so asthe money
remitted may not fall in hands of so called terrorists for that allconventional money
laundering through Hundies.

I start my internship by working in account opening department. Here I spent two weeks. In this
department under the supervision of Mr. Rizwan I learned about different types of account, how
to open account and documents require to open a specific account etc.

11.1 Account Opening:
To open an account is one of the primary functions of the banks because when a customer
opens an account in the bank then the deposits belongs to that branch and the business is carried
out from these deposits. To open an account an account opening form has been specifically
designed for everyone who wishes to open an account in that bank.
One of the major requirements of account opening department is to fill the form for opening a
new account. This Account Opening Form contains the required information necessary for
opening a new account.
The branch name and the branch code is to be mentioned very clearly.
Here the type of account the customer chooses to open has to be selected by the client as the
bank offers many types of accounts. Some of the available accounts are
36
Here the client mentions in which currency he or she wants to operate his or her account in as
the rules are very different for an account in local currency as compared to the account in foreign
currency. In Al Baraka Bank (Pakistan) Limited customers can open account in Pakistani
Rupees, US Dollars, Euro, GBP and Japanese Yen.
Here the name, which the client wishes to give to the account, shall be written and the account
will be operated under that name.
Correspondence/Mailing Address:
In this category, the information of the customer is mentioned by which he or she can be
contacted with. This includes, address, alternate address, phone number, cell phone number, fax
number and email address. This is very important because in specific circumstances the bank
may have the need to contact the account holder.
In this category client selects whether he wishes the account to be individual, joint, sole
proprietorship, public limited or private limited company account and trust or society. All these
accounts have different requirements for opening.
In this category, the account holder nominates anyone other than himself who may also operate
the account.
This is one of the requirements to open an account. Reference of any other account holder is
needed to open an account because in case a person commits fraud then the bank must have
someone to question. However, this information is optional.
This is very important information to write the name of a close relative. This is taken so that in
case the account holder does not contact the bank for three years then the bank would get in
contact with the name mentioned as in the next to kin.
37
11.3.8 Specimen Signature Card:
Along with the Account Opening Form, we also get the client to fill in and sign four times on a
purposely-designed two specimen signature cards. One S. S. Card is send to Karachi and other is
kept for the branch’s record. Specimen Signature card is used to confirm the signatures on
instruments issued by the client. This is very important to prevent fraudulent cases. It is vital that
we have this card filled because from this verify the signatures on the cheques before any value
of money can be transferred or paid in cash.
When the account opening form is completed, the Business Development Manager views the
original CNIC and attaches a photocopy of customer. Moreover, it is vital to obtain the
Computerize National Identity Card of the next to kin.
The complete Account Opening Form along with document of Know Your Customer is
scanned and send to Branch Manager and Operation Manager. BR number is generated in Auto-I
Banker. While these original documents are, send to Head Office Karachi. Head Office assigns
account number. After this opening of new account is informed by updating record in system.
Customer can use one Pay-in-Slip to deposit four cheques. Total amount in words and figures is
to be write-down clearly. In the last Pay-in-Slip must be signed by account holder.
I learnt how to fill phone banking form and SMS banking form. Through Phone Banking
Customers can get information about last five transactions and current account balance. Besides
phone banking Al Baraka Bank (Pakistan) Limited is also offering SMS service to its customers.
Form contains title of account, type of account and account number. An applicant can use Phone
Banking Subscription Form to avail the facility of phone banking for maximum six, link account.
38
SMS Banking subscription form requires the applicant to provide following information:
Title of account
Account number
Type of account
Mobile number
Maximum of six, linked account can be tagged to a mobile number. While a separate form is
used for each BRN.
In this file copy of account maintenance certificate along with original service request form are
kept.
In this, file I had to keep copy of activation of dormant account form along with copy of
attested Computerized National Identity Card.

13 Fourth Week:
In fourth week, my mentor was Mr. Irfan who was also managing credit department. Here I
knew about different types of financing that MCB Bank (Pakistan) Limited is offering to its
customers and procedure of granting these loans. As par sensitivity of the credit department, I
was not given any special task to do.

16. RECOMENDATIONS:
As I have spent almost six weeks in MCB (Pakistan) Limited, Okara Branch for the Internship
purpose. During this period, I have tried my best to observe the banking environment in the
MCB. I have observed a lot of strengths and weaknesses in the branch. Based on the observation
I have come up with certain recommendations particularly related to the MCB(Pakistan)
Limited, okara Branch but generally can be applicable to all other branches of MCB (Pakistan)
Limited for improvement. These recommendations will help to cope with the problems being
faced by the Bank and will enhance the efficiency and performance of the MCB in particular and
all the banking sector of the country in general.
Branch must possess sufficient number of employees to uplift the burden of work.
MCB okara branch should focus on improving their system and operations by
streamlining processes and ensuring efficient customer service.
To improve customer service, MCB Bank Okara can take steps like training staff on
effective communication, promptly addressing customer queries, and implementing
feedback mechanisms.
Proper product information should be delivered to all the employees.
Mismanagement of resources must be avoided as much as possible as it decreases profit
but also discourage hard worker and honest employees.
Fresh graduates must be recruited. As the combination of Experienced and fresh can
produce, better results and it will improve the efficiency of management.

17. CONCLUSION :
It is evident from this report that MCB is making progress by leaps and bounds. The profits
of MCB have grown considerably during the last few years and this trend is expected to continue
into the future. Therefore i conclude that MCB has a very prosperous present and future, which
assures the shareholders of wealth maximization. Side by side of it I think that if bank would be
able to cover and control on the above mentioned recommendations then it would be in such a
situation that will really lead it towards the road of prosperity, development and integrity and
with the above mentioned sentences I think there is too fault of the customers and in order to
make the proper working of the bank the customers should also cooperate with the bank which
will be really a good, ambitious and diligent condition for the bank and then bank will be really
in such a situation and position to compete its competitors in the country as well as on
international level.
