MY ACTIVITIES DURING INTERNSHIP
The opportunity for the training was my foremost step in the practical frame of work. During the
training I was being asked to fulfill some tasks along with the different assignments given to me for
developing the working skill in me. I found some difficulties in the starting portion of the assigned
tasks but gradually I became familiar with the things and I felt comfort in doing the tasks for my
Organization
FIRST WEEK ACTIVITIES
As an internee in United Bank Limited I spent my first week in current department, where my
activity was keeps all rules and the revolutions of the account and the account holders like the account
name, Account holder’s number and the home address, and also releases the new accounts.
SECOND WEEK ACTIVIES
In this week I learned about Cheque stop payment. Cheque stop payment is a terminology used
in banking for stop the payment for the Cheque presented. Bank cannot directly stop the payment
without any specific reason. The customer does it. How payment can be stop by the customer for the
Cheque presented? Let us see:
Write an application with subject of Cheque Stop Payment.
Or fill the Formatted Application form provided by bank.
Attach one Copy of CNIC.
Submit Rs.300/= Per Cheque as Cheque stop payment Fee.
Submit all these with operations manager and fee with cashier.
Then after all these process payment for the Cheque is stop.
Once this Cheque is stop can never been used again.
An entry from the computer for this Cheque number as Stopped Cheque.
So in this way the payment for the Cheque is stopped. Cheque stop payment is always requested by the
customer it means that bank can never be stop the payment for Cheque on its behalf.

THIRD WEEK ACTIVITIES


As an internee in united bank limited I spent my second week in remittance department. In this
department I learned that how the transfer of money from one branch to another branch takes place. In
this department I perform following duties.
Cashier’s Cheque
Foreign transfer
Mail Transfer
I want to explain one thing that comes in mind while performing remittance activities that are
suppose if a person has account in UBL Fatehpur and that person is resident of Attock city. How
he/she will deposit money in its account from UBL Attock Branch. I observed this thing and found that
what the procedure to deposit money in his account is. He/she will take online form, fill it with care
and submit in cash management division. Then it will be transfer by cashiers at the end of the day.
I found it necessary to explain this problem, because I personally handled such type of issues in
branch. Some customers directly filled the deposit slips to deposit it directly in the account but it is not
possible to deposit money directly in another branch account of same bank. Another reason of
explaining it is that first of all I myself was not sure about that.
Fourth WEEK ACTIVITIES
As an internee in United Bank Limited I spent my fourth week in account department where my
activity was to perform in the Bank is account opening. So the tasks of Accounts departments are very
vital and valued for the generation of deposits. There are two major types of accounts Current Account
and the Saving Account. The saving account is usually opened for the home remittance and for the
salaried persons more likely while the current account is usually opened for the business men and the
medium base organizations. The other types of accounts include Business Account, Joint Account,
Basic Account, Behtar Munafa Account, Reward profit Account etc.

FIFTH WEEK ACTIVITIES


As an internee in united bank limited I spent my fifth week in account department where my
activity was to involve providing loan to the clients against the pledge or security. The loan is approved
after completing different steps.
SIXTH WEEK ACTIVITIES
As an internee in United Bank limited I spent my sixth week in marketing department where
my activity was to dealing made with new customers. This department also introduce new lunched by
bank. My dealings with mostly customers were success full.

TASK ASSIGNED TO ME

Verification of the Accounts opened


The first assignment given to me was the checking the account opening forms for the clients
which has already accounts in the bank to build the knowledge that what are the essentials for the
opening of an account. I verified more than 400 accounts during the time of my internships in which
Current, Saving, Basic, Business and joint account were include. I also find out the adjustments to be
done and the missing figures and some portions of the account opening forms and also performed an
audit work of these accounts. There were usually 3500 accounts in our branch. I also evaluate the
addresses of clients with the details and information available to them.

Account Opening
After seeking the whole process of the account opening I started my practical work for the opening
of the accounts and feel a great pleasure indeed because it was my first practice in the practical life. I
work with devotion and being appreciated by the Operational Manager of my branch. In account
practice I learned about the range for opening different types of accounts along with their differences
with respect to each other.

Cheque Book Issue


I continued my practice and learn a new task of issuance of the cheque book it was an easy task but
has some compulsory parts of making a entry for the cheque book in the register and then attempting
the signature of the person to whom the cheque book is being issued. Another essential was to take the
signature on the receipt of the cheque book which was inside the cheque book. A current accounts
cheque book contains the 50 cheques and the saving account cheque book contains the 25 cheques.
Making Payment Order
My first tough assignment was the making of a payment order. Payment orders are the same
city cheques which are cleared in a day by the branch in which they are drawn. I make payment orders
for one week. There is no entry

IMPPLICATION OF CLASS ROOM LEARNING IN ORGANIZATION

FINACIAL ANALYSIS

Debt to asset ratio 7.5 8.7 8.4 Total Debt / Total
Assets

The analysis of total debt to assets ratio shows the decreasing trend .Although the decrease is
not large enough but it is a good sign for bank’s creditors. The decrease may be attributed to the
substantial decrease in borrowings from financial institutions but the affect was weakened by an
increase in bills payable and other liabilities.

This ratio measures how the company is leveraging its debt against the capital employed by its
shareholders. Analysis of debt to equity ratio indicates that the current position for the debt to equity is
that for every one rupee in equity provided by the shareholders the bank has Rs. 0.7 as a debt. This
shows that the bank is heavily relying on debt financing. It shows the decreasing trend which is
positive sign for the Bank.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendations and suggestions are considered to be the most important part of an
internship report, without which no report is considered complete and meaningful. This part of the
report is based on the previous sections i.e. review and analysis. Moreover, for bringing
suggestions, discussions have been conducted with the staff of UBL officers, who not only
provided the basis for recommendations and suggestions but also pointed out some areas, where the
change for the development is utmost important. Realizing the importance of this section, efforts
have been made to give feasible recommendations, which are categorized under the following
headings.
Mobile Banking
Mobile banking is actually banking that you can do yourself. You can perform various activities of
bank through your mobile phones or through your computers. With just a call you can transfer money
from an account to another and similarly other activities. It is a concept that is gaining importance
throughout World Pakistan is no exception. UBL should start working on this concept to maintain their
existence in the changing banking sector.
Adopt Pro-Active Approach
UBL management should adopt proactive to survive in this sector. What I have observed is that
UBL management is having reactive approach means that they react to the situation that their
competitors have created. UBL should try for new innovative ideas rather than moving on the same
track that their competitive are doing.
Educate Account Holders
Whether the account holders are new or existing bank should provide them with the initial
information about how to deposit and withdraw money from the bank. It will be beneficial for the bank
in a way that lot of time could be saved afterwards with that approach.

Promotional Activity
Bank must let potential customers know that all attractions for banking exist. This is done by
advertising on Television and obtaining Press coverage, in conjunction with direct mail, window
displays, pamphlet in branches and in appropriate other locations (such as hostels, shops etc.) and
including leaflets in statement of accounts sent to existing customers in the hope that they will tell
potential customers about the services provided by our bank.
CONCLUSION

A Bank, like the society it serves should be dynamic as banking is about people customers with
their needs and opportunities and staff with skills, experience and resources. UBL has shown
dynamism since its inception. There have been many changes in the structure, functions and the
services provided. These changes reflect the changing requirements of our developing economy as a
whole and those of Industry, Commerce and private Individuals.
UBL is full of experienced and professional traditional bank. As it perfectly suit the
environment, YOU attitude has helped UBL in capturing masses. In the private sector, no doubt it is a
fast growing bank, but here's something that's still unrealistic to the policy makers. The line of
unsatisfied customers is increasing, not because we are not serving well, it's because customers are not
understanding the YOU attitude right. Every customer wants to make sure his work is done at the first
convenience, but they are not concerned about the responsibility with which every employee is
working. We need to put in some guidelines for customers, as they walk in. This will not only save
their time but will also motivate staff members to work more promptly, because if customer and
employee engage into some unhealthy quarrel, the whole environment will be disturbed.
