Every student of Master in Business Administration at Government College
University Faisalabad has an essential requirement to do Six to Eight weeks job in
any of the well reputed organization. The purpose of this program is to acquaint the
students with practical applications of theoretical concepts taught to them during
conduct of their MBA program. But I got job at HBL during my M.B.A so I am
submitting job report..I joined HBL on 28th day of May,2008 as officer Band-1. Report
starts with the topic evolution of banking. HBL was the first commercial bank to be
established in Pakistan in 1947. Over the years, HBL has grown its branch network
and become the largest private sector bank with over 1,450 branches across the
country and a customer base exceeding five million relationships.
On December 29, 2003 Pakistan's Privatization Commission announced that
the Government of Pakistan had formally granted the Aga Khan Fund for Economic
Development (AKFED) rights to 51% of the shareholding in HBL, against an
investment of PKR 22.409 billion (USD 389 million). This report contains information
about HBL’s board of directors, management, mission, vision and values. HBL’s
operations are discussed in light of its working department in the branches like cash,
clearing, foreign exchange and accounts department and also in light of its services
and products which it is offering to customers’ weather they are individual, business,
corporate or agriculture field related customers. HBL is currently offering phone

of its customers. HBL’s car to car loan has its own uniqueness in Pakistan’s banking
sector. HBL’s branch network is extended all over the Pakistan which has its
competitive edge over all other private sector banks in Pakistan.
During the time of my job in Habib Bank Punjab Medical College branch
Faisalabad I got the chance to work in all the departments of HBL working there but
my specialization was credit department.. Duties and learning in each department is
given in this report. Talking about financial performance of the bank in 2008 all the
financial indicators are showing positive results when the financial performance of
the bank in 2008 is compared with financial performance of 2007. During 2008 HBL
also won some awards. At the end of this report I have given my suggestion for the
improvement of the bank.
COMMERCIAL BANKING IN
PAKISTAN
The word 'Bank' is said to have been derived from the words Bancus or
Banque or Bank. This history of banking is traced to as early as 2000 B.C. 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.It was very difficult for Pakistan to build up its own Banking system
immediately after independence without sufficient resources. Following the
announcement of the partition plan in June 1947 there was a haste movement on the
parts of banks to transfer their funds and accounts across the borders. The banks
having their registered offices in Pakistan were transferred to India. In an effort to
bring about the collapse of the new state by the persecuting an international policy of
withdrawal, the Indian bank offices closed quickly. Those banks, which stayed, were
considering the winding up of their business. By 30th June 1948 the number of
schedule banks in Pakistan declined from mere scratch.
Today there are more than 7000 branches of commercial banks along with an
established network of supplementary financial institutions. All this development in
the banking sector is the result of untiring efforts of four decades.
HBL was the first commercial bank to be established in Pakistan in 1947. Over the
years, HBL has grown its branch network and become the largest private sector
bank with over 1,450 branches across the country and a customer base exceeding
five million relationships. With a presence in 25 countries, subsidiaries in Hong Kong
and the UK, affiliates in Nepal, Nigeria, Kenya and Kyrgyztan and representative
offices in Iran and China, HBL is also the largest domestic multinational. The Bank is
expanding its presence in principal international markets including the UK, UAE,
South and Central Asia, Africa and the Far East. Key areas of operations encompass
product offerings and services in Retail Banking. HBL has the largest Corporate
Banking portfolio in Pakistan with an active Investment Banking arm. SME and
Agriculture lending programmes and banking services are offered in urban and rural
centers. In the UK and GCC, HBL focuses on trade finance and remittances for the
South Asian Diaspora in addition to basic banking facilities. HBL has always been a
bank and a brand for the masses, with a history that is inextricably linked with the
history of Pakistan itself. As it continues to grow, both locally and abroad, it strives to
embody its brand personality: honest, approachable, and inclusive. HBL is currently
rated AA+ (Long term) and A1+ (Short term)*. It is the first Pakistani bank to raise
Tier II Capital from external sources.
established with a paid up capital of Rs. 2.5 million. At an early stage, the number of
its branches was only 12.
HBL established operations in Pakistan in 1947 and moved its head office to
Karachi. Our first international branch was established in Colombo, Sri Lanka in
1951 and Habib Bank Plaza was built in 1972 to commemorate the bank’s 25th
Anniversary. With a domestic market share of over 40%, HBL was nationalized in
1974 and it continued to dominate the commercial banking sector with a major
market share in inward foreign remittances (55%) and loans to small industries,
traders and farmers. International operations were expanded to include the USA,
Singapore, Oman, Belgium, Seychelles and Maldives and the Netherlands.

something or a feature that puts the company at an advantage in comparison to its
competitors. HBL enjoys the following strengths:

of experience and profitable operation.
HBL is the largest private bank in Pakistan now and people trust is very high.
It has the largest branch network among private banks of Pakistan.
HBL has been very effective in controlling costs as it successfully restructured
itself after its privatization. During this process more than 1,600 employees

Opportunities
ONLINE BANKING
It is doing banking transactions through our home P.C. The
banks that do business through net have WebsitesSo Habib bank should focus
heavily on providing online banking faculties to its customers. Currently it is doing the
same.
CORPORATE BANKING TERMINAL (CBT)
Large corporate customers can
log into the bank's database and have access to their accounts/transactions from
their business houses. This facility has still not been started for customers in
Pakistan. So Habib can focus on that.
AUTOMATIC TELLER MACHINE (ATM)
This system is known as "Any Time
Money" because it allows customers who have an ATM card to withdraw money at
any time from the bank without interacting with human teller.. It allows customers to
transact with the bank 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. They allow the
customers to transfer money to and from accounts to view account information, to
receive cash. It can also be used to deposit cheques and cash into the accounts.
No bank in Pakistan is offering this service currently. So an opportunity exists for
Habib bank to differentiate.
Rate of return
The range and choice of products available & offered by the
commercial banks is limited. Rates of Return / Profits on Deposits are so low and
unattractive that very limited options are available to the depositors. They do not
match the current rate of inflation. HBL differentiate and increase it’s deposit by
offering attractive rate of return on deposits.
Threats
Threat can be defined as a change in external environment which if not met with
proper strategies will result in loss of revenues, market share, or income. In the
context of HBL’s external environment, the following potential threats exist:
Other private commercial bank with sound profitability is also a threat to HBL
e.g. UBL, Alfalah, MCB etc
The Rupee Travelers Cheque (RTC) sales volumes may be affected on
account of regulatory restriction imposed by SBP on issuance of large value
denominations.
For the last of 2 to 3 years, Pakistan is facing economic and political instability
which is a big threat.
Foreign banks are flourishing in field of consumer financing.
Afghan war and Iraq war has a deep effect on the economy of Pakistan, which
has affected HBL.
Increased regulations from State Bank of Pakistan may affect its business.

choice affordable and practical with a buy back guarantee. HBL CarToCar offers
matchless features and unique options at the end of the lease. Now customer can
drive a new car at the end of every two years.
Features
Pay only for what you use

car’s value that he use during the lease term. The car’s residual value (forecasted for
the end of the specific lease term) is agreed with him at the start of the lease term.
This amount is deducted from the car price thus lowering the finance amount. This
finance amount is based only on a part of the car’s value and not the full value of the
car. Therefore, HBL CarToCar offers very low installments as compared to any
conventional financing.
Upgrade of lifestyle
HBL gives customer the guarantee that if he wishes to return the car to HBL at the
end of the lease term, he will not have to pay off the car’s residual value. Instead,
HBL will directly settle this outstanding liability for customer under the buy back
guarantee. Hence, he can upgrade to a new car as frequently as two years without
any complication and hassle.
Affordability
With HBL CarToCar, customer only has to pay the difference between the car price
and the pre-agreed residual value to the bank. As a result, the monthly installment
may even be 40% to 50% less than that of conventional financing.
Flexibility
HBL CarToCar offers customers several choices at the end of the lease term:
• Upgrade - Simply return the car to HBL and drive a new one home
• Walk away - Return the car to HBL and end the lease
• Buy - Keep the same car. Just make a one-time settlement of the car’s residual
value to HBL or pay the same in easy installments over a specified extended period
of time
• Sell - Enjoy the gain from selling off the car at a higher price in the market than
what you ay HBL as the residual value

Learning as an EMPLOYEE
As every body knows that "Knowledge without practice is sterile ".I JOINED HBL ON
28TH, May, 2008.During my job I got a chance to work and learn in following
departments of the bank:
Foreign exchange department
Bills clearing department
Credit department
I.T department
Cash department
Accounts, ATM and Lockers department
functions of foreign exchange department and how to perform these functions during
my work in the department.
My duties in the department were related to the followings:
Foreign currency exchange rates.
Letter of credit (L.C) both opening and negotiation.
Letter of guarantee
Issuing check books for foreign currency accounts
Remittances applications.
Learning
Opening of letter of credit. Bank starts working on opening process after an
application is received from the buyer (importer). I came to know about the process
of opening of L.C, documents that bank demands from applicant, form used for that
purpose, getting A.T (Availance Ticket) from regional head office and scanning and
mailing the documents to head office Karachi for the purpose of getting approval,
and payment on maturity date. Opening and negotiation both are centralized process
in Habib bank therefore approval from head office is required.
Negotiation of L.C. Bank starts negotiation of letter of credit (which would be
already opened by importer’s bank) after the application from seller (exporter).
Before sending the documents for payment to importer bank negotiator bank must
ensure that the entire document mentioned in Claus 46A of the L.C are attached and
complete.
I also worked on Remittances application. An applicant who wants to transfer
funds abroad must have a foreign currency account in the bank. Because State Bank
of Pakistan only allow account to account transfer of funds abroad through banks.
And I came to know about the process and information required to fill the form. I also
came know about the process of issuing foreign currency account’s cheque book to
customers. I learnt many things about the mechanism of foreign trade.
processing. These clearing instruments are delivered to their respective banks for

their specific code. And I also worked on OBC (Outward bank collection) forwarding
schedule. I came to know the process of sending cheques or other clearing

HBL has been selected as ‘The Best Emerging Market Bank in Pakistan’ by Global

Global Finance magazine has named the “Best Emerging Market Banks in Asia” in
an exclusive survey to be published in the May 2009 issue. Global Finance editors—
with input from industry analysts, corporate executives and banking consultants—
selected the best emerging market bank in the region and in 20 countries. Global

Mr. Aly Mustansir - Head Marketing and Brand Management. The first two places

Recommendations
As we seen from the previous analysis of the financial statements I have realized
that that Habib Bank is performing very well since its inception. It is quite difficult to
give suggestion to improve the banking conditions Habib Bank Limited. As we know
that nothing is perfect, there is always a room for improvement, so I will recommend
following suggestions for HBL:
1) Employees Training programmes must be introduced on continuous
basis so that Employees have understanding with the latest
developments especially with the customers.
2) Bank should introduced incentive plans for employees on regular basis
so that if employees may work whole heartedly for the welfare of their
organization. While giving incentives qualification, work, experience,
hard work and such other factors must be considered.
3) Mismanagement of resources must be avoided as much as possible as
it decreases profit but also discourage hard worker and honest
employees.
All the finances in which markup is stuck and fall in particular categories
are called classified amounts and are treated as NPL.
Remedies to avoid NPL:
Banks are taking special measures to avoid NPL
by applying different warning systems given by State Bank of Pakistan.
SBP has introduces early warning system which is applicable for all
commercial/scheduled banks. According to that system any account
which will fall in any of the above classification will be regularly
monitored and kept in continuous observation. More over these
accounts will be in system’s early warning category.
