land and building.
Payment against Document (PAD) Suppose customers documents are alright but importer
is willing to retire the documents - In this case, Bank is obligated to pay price of exported
goods. Since importer did not pay for bill of exchange, this payment by bank is one kind of
credit to the importer and this credit in banking is known as PAD.
Loan against Imported Merchandise (LIM) - Everything is O.K. but importer fails to clear
goods from the port and request bank to clear - In this case, Banks clear the goods and takes
delivery like same, by paying customs duty and sales tax etc. So, this expenditure is debited
to the importers account and in banking it is called LIM.
Loan against Trust Receipts (LTR) Advance (Loan) against a Trust Receipt obtained from
the Customers, which are allowed only to the first class tested parties. When the documents
are covering an import shipment or other goods pledged to the Bank as security are given
without payment. However, for such advances prior permission/sanction from Head Office
must be obtained. The customer holds the goods or their sale-proceeds in trust for the Bank,
till such time, the loan allowed against the Trust Receipts is fully paid off.

3.3.2 Deposit:
Meaning of Deposit:
Deposit is the main part of Bank deposit. It is impossible to imagine a commercial Bank
without deposit. It is desirable for every Bank to collect enough deposit, safety of
deposit and free flow of deposit. The money which is collected by a bank from surplus
unit money through different account is called deposit. It is noticeable that at once time
current deposit is higher than fixed deposit, But with the passes of time this trend not
only in Bangladesh but also all over the world is changing and fixed deposit is playing
an important role in supplying Bank fund.
Objectives of Bank Deposit:
Bank mainly collects deposit from depositor for collection its fund. Besides these, there
are some other reasons for mobilizing deposit.
18
1. Collection of Bank fund: Commercial Bank mobilizes deposit and gives loan to
the people. Providing loan, Bank gets interest from the debtor on the other hand
to increase such income, Bank provides some interest to the depositor for
attracting enough deposit
2. Ensure productive investment of the scattered songs of the clients: It is seen

that about every man has some savings. Banks combines this scattered savings
and contributes in the development of the country.

4.1 Findings:
In recent years, the General Banking business of Agrani Bank Ltd is increasing at a faster
rate. As a state owned scheduled bank, Agrani Bank Ltd is playing an important role toward
the growth and economic development of Bangladesh. Agrani Bank Ltd is rendering a stable
support to the national General Bankings business. Although the General Banking business is
increasing day by day there are also some obstacles around it which are as follows positive
and negative findings:
Positive:
1. ABL provides high quality financial services to strengthen the well-being and success of
individual industries & business communities.
2. The top management of the bank, the key strengths for ABL has contributed heavily
towards the growth and development of the bank. The Top management officials are
enough capable to manage their work so they have a good idea about the current situation.
3. Interest rate is too much low compare to other commercial Bank.
4. Staffs are very much cordial and always dedicated to clients as well as organization.
5. All the staffs give attention to their customers.
Negative:
1. Insufficient number of ATM booths in Dhaka city which cannot fulfill customer needs.
2. ABL has the absence of online banking which makes ABL lose a segment of customers
who are very busy or business men.
3. ABL has the lack of sufficient number of employees for the account opening task as well
as dispatch related works. So, it takes a bit longer time to finish the job.
4. ABL has the lack of sufficient number of well-experienced employees in GB to satisfy

customers.
5. The newly prescribed account opening form is very much informative. It takes about half
an hour to properly fill in the form. When four or five people come at the same time to
account opening purpose, it is very difficult for the relevant officer to provide satisfied
service to the client.
39
6. According to some clients, introducer is one of the problems to open an account. If a
person who is new in the city wants to open account, it is a problem for him/her to
arrange an introducer of SB or CD account holder.
7. Lengthy process of issuing cheque book, Pay order, Bank draft cause. Job responsibilities
are not specified to each and every employee of this division.
8. Insufficient modern sophisticated technology change such as use of new software there
are few staff who are lacking in computer knowledge and are not efficient chough to
finish every task immediately. So, before utilizing new technology proper training should
be arranged.
9. Inadequate skilled manpower in Agrani bank Ltd, because there is lack of proper training
arrangement of employees in the general banking section. For example, most of the new
recruited employees learn their job tasks by observing their senior employee.
10. Insufficient forms and brochures will hamper customer service. Still heavily rely on
traditional system specially in general banking department.
4.2 Recommendations:
I had the practical exposure in Agrani Bank Ltd. for just twelve weeks, with my little
experience in the bank in comparison with vast and complex banking system, it is very
difficult for me to recommend. We have observed some shortcomings regarding operational
and other aspects of their banking. On the basis of my observation we would like to
recommend the followings:
1. Agrani Bank Ltd should open enough booths in Dhaka city and all over Bangladesh. It
helps the banks in reducing crowd at banks counters.
2. Agrani Bank Ltd should start online banking for providing services to a particular
segment of customers.
3. There should be more officers appointed in the cash section and a proper instrument
should be brought to identify the fake notes which are almost impossible to identify with
the current available device.
4. A training session or workshop could be organized to let the officers know about the
changes and ins and outs of different account opening and deposit forms. Long-term
training is very much required for the employees.

5.1 Conclusion:
It was great pleasure for me to do my report in an esteemed organization like Agrani Bank
Limited. Though my practical exposure in Agrani Bank Limited, Bannani Branch for just 12
weeks, it provides me a wide range of scope to observe the functions of bank through the
cordial assistance of its members. I had the scope to focus on general banking system. Agrani
Bank Limited is one of the most potential Islami banks in the Islami bank sector, which has
so far shown good performance and holds the strongest position in the banking market.
Overall, the bank must make a positive attempt to be more outward looking in their goals and
aware of what is happening.
Agrani Bank Limited has introduced a new dimension in the field of innovative and
benevolent banking in our country. The bank has successfully made a positive contribution to
the economy of Bangladesh with in very short period of time. Its profit is gradually
increasing. It plays a great role in collecting scattered Deposit, Loan settlement and
International Trade etc. The Bank ensures quality services to the customers. For better growth
and healthy economic position, it should introduce new and lucrative long-term credit
schemes especially for new investors and schemes for poverty alleviation like micro credit.
I strongly believe that in the coming year also the Branch would be able to attain its earning
capacity at an accelerated growth rate. The Bank is also making headway for introductions of
credit card and ATM card and online banking operations. The Bank intends to enter into
agreement with reputed exchange companies in USA, UK, and UAE, for safe and steady
flow of foreign remittance into the country from Bangladesh expatriated working at the
Banking area of Bangladesh with diversified products and financial services to seize the
opportunities. New custom friendly products are being evolved in the days to come.
I hope, in spite of my all limitations, this experience of sharing works with such working
environment will help me a lot in professional life.
I wish continuous success and healthy business portfolio of Agrani Bank Limited, Bannani
Branch, Dhaka.
