working in your expected career field, either during a semester or over the summer. Besides
gaining valuable experience, you get exposed to the business environment and gain valuable
references and network contacts. Career counselors, employers, and others have long touted the
importance for college students to work one or more internships during their college years.

1.2.

INTRODUCTION

to undergo an internship programmed of six week duration. This is an essential academic
requirement. The internship is followed by comprehensive report writing, required to submit
faculty of management and administrative science department of University Of Gujrat. This
report is properly evaluated on the basis of its description and analytical capabilities by internal
and external examiners. I did my internship in Silk Bank Limited 70 Paris Road Sialkot.

1.3.

BENEFIT OF THE INTERNSHIP

The study done will benefit the finance students in particular and banking students in
general because the financial analysis section of this report comprehensively encompasses all
respects of financial analysis.

1.6.

SCOPE OF STUDY

The study is confined to banking operations. An attempt, along with all its limitations, to
collect financial data and general statistics of the bank has been made. Keeping in view the
purpose of the study, which is to make an acquaintance with practical doings in the bank, this
seems a comprehensive effort.

1.7.

LIMITATION FOR STUDY

It is to admit that the study attempts only those aspects, which are closely relevant to the
purpose of the study. The facts and figures, which otherwise might be equally important, but not
having a direct bearing on the conclusions arrived at this study, have been ignored.
The most important limitation from which the study suffers is the non-availability of information
in a manner required for analysis and the secrecy of the bank. Another important limitation of the
study is time and space constraint.

1.8.

METHODOLOGY FOR STUDY

Both primary and secondary data were used in compilation of the report. Methodological
tools used were:
i.

Primary Data:
Personal Observations.
Discussion with Bank Personnel.

ii.

Secondary Data:
Brochures/ Manuals of the bank.
Annual Report
Bank internship reports on Silk Bank available at different sources.
Journals, newspapers and books.
Internet.

SILK BANK'S PERFORMANCE AT A PEEK DURING 2012 AND FUTURE

STRATEGY

During the year 2012, the Bank improved income both on the asset and the liability side
of the business. The Bank also considerably simplified costs through synergies, re-engineering
processes, restricting investment to presented resources, and a additional intensity of expensive
term deposits by low cost current and saving accounts (CASA). The Bank also made strategic
investments in innovative businesses and productively launched a Credit Card and an Islamic
Banking business, during the year. As a result the Bank crossed an vital objective in the third
quarter, with the commercial launch of Silk bank's VISA Credit Card and the switch of seven
conventional branches into Emaan Islamic banking branches, which have established muscular
reply from the market. Whereas in 2011 the volume of Bank's profitability came from
recovery/reverse of provisions of approx. Rs. 2.60 billion, the equivalent figure in 2012
was Rs. 580 million, a difference of approx. Rs 2.0 billion. Further the decrease in discount rate
of 250 basis points over the past year and the raise in the minimum pay out rate on deposits from
5% to 6% by SBP, led to an industry wide reduction of margins which also affect the
productivity of the Bank. Also in 2012, the Bank invested in central part segments of its future
expansion platforms including credit cards, Islamic Banking and other consumer products
leading to an add to in administrative operating cost. As a result, though center operating income
was still higher by Rs 250 million and costs were reserved in organize through increases in
efficiency and cost cutting procedures, the Bank recorded a loss after tax of Rs. 345 million in
2012. As such the Bank is not in a position to announce dividend for the year. To achieve the
goals, a clear three year strategy (inclusive of tax projections) has been devised based on a new
investment introduction of Rs. 2.4 billion through a system to issue preference shares. This will
considerably allow focal point on further available expansion opportunities.

3.7.3 FOREIGN EXCHANGE:


To encourage stream of foreign exchange in the country, the Government of Pakistan
commence a new system of opening of bank accounts in foreign currency. These accounts were
allowed to receive profit percentage in form of the currency in which the account was reserved
(Dollar account shall be paid profit in dollars). This has increased the stream of foreign currency
particularly from the Pakistani foreign people, who used to send money to their families at
domicile. The State Bank of Pakistan was prearranged particular rights to manage and check the
act of the Authorized Dealers in foreign exchange accounts.

AUTHORIZED DEALER is a person or organizations, which can transaction with the foreign

provision for the economic collection of the cheques, DD and additional negotiable instruments.
A great element of this work is passed on through the clearing house. After joining the bank in
internship I got the realistic experience by performing of all the above mentioned tasks or
functions of the Silk bnak. The system is not too easy to recognize simply but still a lot of
complexities have been resolved.

3.7.6 CASH DEPARTMENT:


This is very important department because cash is the most liquid asset and most of the frauds
are made in this department, therefore extra care is taken in this department and nobody is
allowed to enter or leave the area freely. Mostly cash area is grilled and its door is under the
supervision of the head of that department. All the books are maintained in this department and
checked by an officer. The following books are maintained in the cash department.

Cash Balance Book.

Receiving Cashier Book.

Paying Cashier Book.

Token Book.
Cash which is received in counter is entered in the scroll book and receiving cashier book. At the
close of day, these are balanced with each other. If the cheques or any negotiable instrument is
presented by the customer for payment, it is entered in the token book and token is issued to the
customer. At the close of day, the token book & paying cashier book are balanced. Finally the
figure of receipt and payment of cash is entered in the cash balance book and drawn closing
balance of cash.
Cash department performs the following functions:

RECEIPT:
The cash out from the bank is recorded in the bank in a systematic manner. Cash department
performs this task. The deposits of all customers of the bank are controlled by means of ledger
accounts. Every customer has its own ledger account and has split ledger cards.

PAYMENTS:
The amount which is give by bank to customers or to make payment to other bank is also
recorded in the bank in a systematic way. It is a bankers main agreement to pay back money
received for their customers account usually by honoring their cheques.

THE FUNDAMENTALS OF CHEQUE:


There is no arranged form of words or drawing of a Cheque, but in sort to complete the
necessities the Cheque must have the subsequent:

It should be in writing
The absolute order
Drawn on particular banker only
Payment on order
Sum definite in money
Payable to a particular person
Drawer signs on the cheque

MUHAMMAD BILAL SARWAR

FMAS

PARTIES TO CHEQUE:
The usual Cheque is one in which there is a drawer, a drawee banker and a payee, or no
payee but bearer.
The Drawer
The Drawee
The Payee

3.7.7 CLEARANCE DEPARTMENT:


A clearinghouse is a relationship of commercial banks set up in given zone for the
intention of exchange and payment of credit claims. The function of clearinghouse is performed
by the central bank of a country by custom or by law. In Pakistan, the clearing system is operated
by the SBP. If SBP has no office at a place, then Silk bank, as a spokesperson of SBP perform as
a clearinghouse.
After the World War II, a fast development in banking institutions has taken place. The
use of cheques in making payments has also extensively enlarged. The collection as resolution of
shared obligations in the shape of cheques is now a big assignment for all the commercial bank.
When Cheque is drawn on one bank and the owner (payee) deposits the same in his account at
the bank of the drawer, the common obligation are matured by the internal bank supervision and
there arises no interbank debits from the utilize of cheques. The total assets and total liabilities of
the bank remain unaffected.
In practice, the person receiving a Cheque as hardly ever a depositor of the cheque at the
similar bank as the drawer. He deposits the cheque with his bank other than of payer for the
gathering of the amount. Now the bank in which the cheque has been deposited becomes a
creditor of the drawers bank. The depositor bank will give its amount of the cheque by
transferring it from cash funds if there are no offsetting transactions. The banks on which the
cheques are drawn become in liability to the bank in which the cheques are deposited. At the
similar time, the creditors banks obtain large amounts of cheques drawn on other banks provide
claims of sum by them.
The simple, secure and mainly well-organized way is to offset the mutual claims against
the other and accept only the net amount owned by them. This ability of net interbank
disbursement is provided by the clearing house. The spokes person of the local commercial
banks meets at a set time on all the business days of the week. The meeting is held in the office
of the bank that authoritatively performs the duties of clearing house.
The council of the commercial banks distributes the cheques payable at other local banks
and obtain the cheques drawn on their bank. The cheques are then sorted according to the bank
on which they are drawn. A outline sheet is organized which shows the names of the banks, the

MUHAMMAD BILAL SARWAR

FMAS

total number of cheques delivered and acknowledged by them. Totals are also completed of all
the cheques offered by or to each bank.
The dissimilarity between the total represents the amount to be paid by a particular bank
and the amount to be received by it. Each bank then receives the remaining amount due to it or
pays the remaining sum owed by it.

3.7.8 ADVANCES DEPARTMENT:


Advances department is one of mainly responsive and a vital department of the bank.The
main part of the profit is earned in the course of this department. The job of this department is to
create proposals about the loans. The Credit Management Division of Head Office honestly
control all the advances. As we recognized bank is a profit looking for institution. It attracts
excess balances from the customers at little rate of interest and makes advances at a upper rate of
interest to the individuals and business ventures. Credit extensions are the mainly vital action of
all monetary institutions, because it is the key source of earning. Though, at the same time, it is a
very uncertain task and the risk cannot be totally eliminated but could be hedge for the most part
with positive tools.

PRINCIPLES OF ADVANCES:
There are four philosophy, which should be properly experimental while advancing money to the
borrowers.
Safety
Liquidity
Dispersal
Remuneration
The distinction between the total represents the amount to be rewarded by a particular bank and
the amount to be received by it. Each bank then receives the net amount due to it or pays the net
amount owed by it.

FORMS OF LOANS:
In adding to purchase and discounting of bills, bankers in Pakistan normally credit in the
shape of cash finance, overdrafts and loans. Silk bank provides finance to different citizens in
different customs as the case order.

CASH FINANCE:
This is a very common shape of borrowing by commercial and industrial concerns and is
completed accessible either against guarantee or security of goods, manufacture or retail. In cash
credit a borrower is permitted to borrow money from the banker up to a definite limit, either at
once or as and when necessary. The borrower prefers this type of lending due to the gift of
MUHAMMAD BILAL SARWAR
11042054-098

Page

FMAS

paying markup/services charges only on the amount he in fact utilizes. If the borrower does not
utilize the full edge, the banker has to be unable to find return on the un-utilized sum. In order to
balance this loss, the banker may offer for a appropriate section in the cash credit contract,
according to which the borrower has to pay markup/service charges on at smallest amount on
person or one quarter of the amount of cash credit limit permitted to him still when he does not
exploit that total.

OVERDRAFT/RUNNING FINANCE:
This is the most ordinary form of bank lending. When a borrower require short-term
adjustment his banker allows withdrawals on his account in surplus of the balance, which the
borrowing customer has in credit, and an overdraft thus occurs. This facilitation is normally
allowed against guarantee or securities. When it is against guarantee or securities it is called
Secured Overdraft and when the borrowing customer cannot offer any guarantee or security
apart from his personal guarantee, the facilitation is called a Clean Overdraft. The borrowing
customer is in an beneficial situation in an overdraft, because he has to reimburse service charges
merely on the balance outstanding against him. The chief difference between a cash finance and
overdraft lies in the detail that cash finance is a bank finance used for long term by commercial
and industrial concern on normal basis, while an overdraft is a short-term accommodation
infrequently provided to.

Chapter #4: What I did in Silk Bank


After joining the bank for internship at first it was so hard for me to obtain the
consideration of the employees, everyone was awfully busy in their own activities, and nobody
was having time to provide accommodation me. This was a critical time for me to acquire the
consideration of Silk banks management and to make them recognize that their valuable
information is so much essential for the up gradation of my information and for the achievement
of the job which I was assigned by the organization. But very quickly I succeeded in making
affiliation with the top persuade people and with the help of these people I started permeated in
the system. This was my first step towards the achievement of my duty and with the passage of
time they realized that they could also exploit my efforts in a creative way to reduce their load.
They provided me their moment and information, which helped me to improve my
understanding, and they also shared their experiences with me, which I consider that it would be
supportive in my realistic life.

Chapter#6: Suggestions and Recommendations


Based on the SWOT and PEST study of the Silk bank, it is experiential that the Bank like
the other banking sector industries has not been showing up to mark performance. There is a
lengthy list of weaknesses that is given on the preceding page. Most of them are going along
since long time and that all hard work made to remove them have not succeeded. On the basis of
SWOT analysis of the Bank the following suggestions and recommendations are given.
Bank should try to get rid of the political influence to be able to compete in the industry
with wise and strong policies.
The undue dependence on the public sector be minimized and ventures of private sectors
should be taken as well.
Redefining of rules, regulations and policies should be made implemented at all
expenses.
Efforts of great significance to be made for the over the counter services of general
banking making it more straightforward and quicker to get a better reply of the
customers.
The behavior of the employee, particularly on the counter has to be firmly monitored and
checked.
The still existed bureaucratic authorization structure has to be demolished.
All advances should be made by getting the maximum security and should focus on
creative work.
Enhanced and complete long-term and short-term planning should be made to forefront
cast the future needs.
There is an option of establishing task energy to establish the efficiency of the policies
being implemented.
The Bank should develop an inclusive staffing policy to make only the proficient ones to
be on the job.
There is still a huge pool of unskilled employees that has to down sized.
There is a lack of promotional component in the planning and budgetary decisions of the
Bank that has to think critically.
All branches of the Bank should be computerized for increasing the effectiveness and
efficiency of its employees.
Efforts should be constant to keep the powers of employees union to the minimum, like
the current situation.
Promotions must not be postponed and should be made on time to further increase the
promise and competence of the employees.

These and many other that can make a good set of recommendations, which have to be
made potential to get away from the threats and weaknesses and the risks in surroundings that
environs the Bank. The management do considers the policy issue that is not helping the Bank,
but is still in follow due the absence of prudentially regulated system to look after them and the
Bank.
Efforts have been made with severe concern to give Silk bank a standing that it has to maintain
by having practices of:
Right sizing of the employees.
By closing unprofitable branches.
By introducing a merit based selection criteria.
Promotions made conditional with qualifications.
