INTRODUCTION TO BANKING
“BANK” AND ITS ORIGEN
Even the standard encyclopedia and the books of laws find
it very difficult to state exactly that what is bank, there are
many definitions of the word bank. Following are the
different attempts made by different writers to explain the
word bank.
According to Gilbert:
“A bank is a dealer in capital or dealer
in money. He is an intermediary party
between the borrowers and lenders.”
According to Samuelson:
“Commercial banks provide certain
services for customers and in return
receive payments from them.”
According to Holder:
“The modern banker is primarily a
dealer in credit.”

According to Crowther:
“Bank is a dealer of debt, his own and
of other people.”
IMPORTANCE OF BANKING
Banks play very important role in the economic life of a
nation. The growth of the economy is dependent upon the
soundness of its banking system. Although banks do not
create new wealth but borrow, exchange and consume.
These make generation of wealth. In this way they become
most effective partners in the development of that country.
To encourage the habit of saving and to mobilize these
savings is its basic purpose. Banks deposit surplus from the
public and then advances these surpluses in the form of
loans to the industrialists, agriculturists, businessmen and
unemployed people under different schemes so that they set
up their own business. Thus banks help in capital
formation.
If there are no banks, then there would be
concentration of wealth in few hands and great portion of
wealth of a country would be idle. We can take bank just
like a heart in the economic structure and capital provided
by it is like blood in it. As long as the blood is in circulation,
Hailey College of Commerce 2
the organs will remain sound and healthy. If the blood is
not provided to any organ then the organ would become
useless. So if the finance is not provided to agriculture
sector or to industrial sector, it will be destroyed.
Loan facility provided by bank works as an incentive to
the producer to increase production. Banks provide
transfer of payment facility, which is cheaper, quicker and
safe.
HISTORY OF ALLIED BANK OF PAKISTAN
Establishment of Australasia Bank
The Australasia Bank (the old name of allied bank) was
established in 1942 in a motor garage in Lahore with a staff
of three. Initially, it was little more than an agency for the
collection of rents from the family estate. Then, the tenants
began to open accounts and the bank to make advances
against gold, insurance policies, and merchandise
Management of family properties led to the business of
managing other people's estates and the new bank soon
encountered opposition from the established banks.
Discrimination took the form of a collection charges applied
to local cheques, on the grounds that the new bank. was not
Hailey College of Commerce 3
located in the 'Bank Square', The Australasia Bank was at
that stage a non-scheduled bank, but it was claimed that at
this time it was not accorded the facilities available even to
that class of bank. The Reserve Bank of India was loath to
grant facilities for the exchange of notes or the grant of
accommodation. After two years, the bank was moved to a
new building. It did the same business as before though on
an Increased scale, A number of branches were opened. In
due course it applied for inclusion in the Schedule and was
accorded the status of a scheduled bank in the financial
year 1946-47. After Partition the bank was entrusted with
the collection of Treasury revenues and payments on behalf
of the Government in certain centers. Subsequently, it was
granted a license to undertake foreign exchange business,
and further branches were opened. The bank is still small,
though included in the Schedule, but it does a business
comparable in quality and scope with larger and longer-
established banks. If any proof wore needed that the
Muslim is capable of the initiative and persistence to
embark upon the complex business of banking, this case
study should provide useful evidence.
Allied Bank’s 60 Years of Progress
Allied bank of Pakistan Limited (formerly Australasia
Bank Limited) has witnessed and experienced all political,
economic, financial and technological changes which have
Hailey College of Commerce 4
taken place in the South Asian region since it was
incorporated in 1942 at Lahore. Allied Bank of Pakistan is
the first Muslim bank established on the territory that
became Pakistan established on December 3, 1942 as the
Australasia Bank at Lahore under the chairmanship of
Khawaja Bashir Bux.
In 1942, the situation was as follows:
Paid up share capital
Rs. 0.12
million
Deposits
Rs. 0.431
million
Total assets
Rs. 0.572
million
In 1947, when the bank was in nascent age, it had to
undergo a traumatic event, which divided Asian Sub
Continent into two independent states, namely, Pakistan
and India. Allied Bank, being the only Muslim bank on the
soil of Pakistan, lost over 50% of its operations and its
assets, which were on the soil of India. The management
faced the multiple challenges resulting from huge human
and financial losses on the one hand and the task of
providing the newly emerged nation with efficient and
Hailey College of Commerce 5
effective payment system and bank facilities to all sectors of
economy on the other hand.
The bank rendered valuable treasury services for the
government of Pakistan and despite many constrains played
an effective role in socio-economic uplift of the country.
In 1965 the Bank shifted its operational head quarters
from Lahore to Karachi. In 1971, the Bank lost more than
half of its assets and network due to cessation of East
Pakistan. The bank not only survived this crisis but also
regained its financial strength maintaining the growth rates.
In 1974, the government of Pakistan nationalized all
financial institutions in the country. Releasing the robust
financial strength of Australasia Bank Limited among all the
nationalized financial institutions, the government decided
to merge three financially weak institutions, namely, Sarhad
Bank Limited, Lahore Commercial Bank Limited and Pak
Bank Limited into Australasia Bank Limited and renamed it
as Allied Bank of Pakistan Limited.

Allied Bank remained in the public sector for
seventeen years, during which the quality of its assets
remained comparatively better among its peer. During this
period the bank expanded its domestic network and opened
its first foreign branch at London, UK in 1977. The
performance of the domestic and foreign operations of
Allied Bank, during nationalized period, was so good that in
1989 UK operations of Muslim Commercial Bank were
merged into Allied Bank of Pakistan Limited. Because of
privatization in September 1991, Allied Bank entered in a
new phase of its history, as world’s first bank to be owned
and managed by its employees.

After privatization, Allied Bank registered and
unprecedented growth to become one of the premier
financial institutions of Pakistan. Allied Bank enjoys an
enviable position in the financial sector of Pakistan. As on
date the quality of assets of the bank is one of the best
amongst the major banks of the country.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
A New Beginning
In September 1991, Allied Bank entered in a new
phase of its history, as world's first bank to be owned and
managed by its employees. Mr. Khalid Latif, an employee of
the bank since 1971, had anticipated that an opportunity
would emerge for the workers to take management control
of the Bank. He proceeded on long leave in November, 1990
to make an in-depth study of the concept of Employees
Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). He was thus well prepared
when in May 1991, the Privatisation Commission announced
the impending privatisation of Allied Bank and invited pre-
qualification bids.
During May/June 1991, almost all the officers, staff
members and CBA unions had given a mandate to Mr.
Khalid Latif to acquire Allied Bank for employees through
the Allieds Management Group which had been formed
specially for this purpose,
Mr. Khalid Latif was thus in a strong advantageous
position when he met the Cabinet Committee on
Privatisation in August 1991 to present his plan for
acquisition of Allied Bank within the context of an
Hailey College of Commerce 9
Employees Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The meeting
examined the plan in detail and concluded with the Finance
Minister's announcement that the Government had
accepted the Allieds Management Group's bid.
Within a week the formal letter of acceptance of this bid
was handed over by the Prime Minister of Pakistan to Mr.
Khalid Latif. The executives, officers and representatives of
all CBA unions confirmed Mr. Khalid Latif as Chairman of
the Allieds Management Group. In September 1991, the
Board of Directors approved the transfer of 26 percent of
the Bank's shares to the Allieds Management Group. The
Board of Directors was reconstituted. It elected Mr. Khalid
Latif as its chairman and Chief Executive of the Bank. The
State Bank of Pakistan also approved this decision.
BASIC PRINCIPLES
The basic principle and features underlined by
Mr. Khalid Latif when he launched this scheme
countrywide and positive response of the government, press
and public at large.
1. ESOP means employee stock ownership plan.
2. ESOP combines knowledge, experience and efforts of
the people.
Hailey College of Commerce 10
3. ESOP gives employee job security, better prospectus
for the career, family feeling and sense of loyalty and
share in the progress and prosperity of an entity.
4. 7500 people spread over more than 750 branches
raised the slogan of ESOP.
5. ESOP is customer oriented.
6. ESOP is motivational tool, which disciplines the people,
prevents wastage of resources and ensures better and
efficient customers service standards.
7. ESOP envisages management control and ownership of
the enterprise for the employee, by the employees and
of the employees.
8. ESOP provides protection to the family retirement. It
is an umbrella, which automatically opens as soon as
there is a rain. ESOP shows loyalty to the
organization.
9. ESOP is a team work.
How ESOP was accomplished :
Privatization of the Allied Bank under the concept of
employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) is a singular success
story anywhere in a world. Dynamic leadership was the
Hailey College of Commerce 11
singular factor in getting the dream of Allied Bank
translated into reality.
At the commencement of the privatization process in
the country Mr. Khalid Latif prepared a working paper
on employee stock ownership plan. Management and staff
members numbering over 7500 joined together and united
to form Allied’s management group. On 3rd August 1991
Mr. Khalid Latif discussed with the cabnit committee on the
privatization the concept of employee stock ownership plan
with particular reference to the ownership of the Allied
Bank to it employees. The deal was finalized after in a
depth study of ESOP.
On 11 August 1991 Allied management group
deposited sale price of 26% share in State Bank of Pakistan.
In its meeting on 10th September 1991, board of director of
the bank approved sale of 26% shares of the bank to the
employees and there after vacated their seats for the new
nominees of Allied management group. In its very first
meeting the new board of directors elected Mr. Khalid Latif
as its Chairman and Chief Executive. The Govt. of Pakistan

balances, clearing house works under the control of State
Bank of Pakistan. A banker has no legal obligation to collect
cheque drawn upon other banks for the customers, though

own choice. Therefore, it is very important that since they
have assumed this function, the banker should be very
careful in their performance, otherwise they will face more
difficulties. So, if they provide this facility when the cheques
are crossed.

form of clean advances, against promissory notes, as well as
secured advances against tangible and marketable
securities. According to the Prudential Regulations of the
State Bank of Pakistan, No bank can issue a clean advance
of more than Rs. 100,000/-. The bankers prefer such
securities that do not run the risk of general depreciation
due to market fluctuations.
SECURITIES
Common Securities for the banker’s advances are as under:
Banker’s Lien
Lien is the banker’s right to withhold property
until the claim on the property is paid. The banker’s look at
their lien as a peotection against loss on loan or over draft
or any other credit facility. In ordinary lien the borrower
remains the owner, but the possessions of the property is
with the creditor. Unless it is the banker’s lien there is, in
most cases, no right of sale.
Guarantee
When an application for advance cannot offer any
tangible security, the banker may rely on personal
Hailey College of Commerce 36
guarantees to protect himself against loss on advances or
overdraft to the applicant.
Mortgage
A mortgage is the transfer of an interest in specific
immovable property for the purpose of security the payment
of money advanced or to be advanced by; way of loan, and
existing or future debt, or the performance of an
engagement which may rise to a pecuniary liability. The
transfer is called a mortgagor, the transferee a mortgage.
Hypothecation
When property in the shape of goods is charged as
security for a loan form the bank the ownership and
possession is left with the borrower, the goods are said to
be hypothecated. The essence of hypothecation is that
neither the property in the goods not the possession of them
are possessed by the lender, but the security is granted by
means of letter of hypothecation, which usually provides for
a banker’s charge on the hypothecation goods.
Pledge
In a pledge the ownership remains with pledge, but the
pledgee has the exclusive possession of property until the
advance in repaid in full. While in case of the default the
pledgee has the power of sale after giving due notice.

burden of currency notes in huge quantity. Demand
draft can easily be handled whatever amount it has and
the money can easily be taken from the bank when it is
presented. In fact, the bank persuades the customer to
transfer money by drafts and avoid the risk of frauds
involves in MT and T.T. Draft is only issued when the
bank knows customer and bank has the confidence in
him

has to fill an application form. Then the concerned
officer fills the following forms:

to National Bank of Pakistan.

issued to National Bank of Pakistan. Foreign Demand
Draft is just like the demand draft. The only difference
is that a bank issues Foreign Demand Draft to the
bank of another country. It requires foreign exchange
and it involves seven forms, which are to be filled.

3. All time banking
Allied Bank is now introducing the AlliedCash+ also
referred to as ATM card. You will now have the convenience
of withdrawing cash from any of our multiple ATMs ("All-
Time Banking" locations) conveniently located in major
cities like Karachi and Lahore at any time of the day or
night even on closed days/holidays. Other services include
customer being able to inquire about the balance of his/her
account or printing an abbreviated (mini) statement
showing the most recent eight transactions up to the
previous working day.
How to obtain
In order to obtain an AlliedCash+ Card, you simply
have to fill out the prescribed Application form available at
selected Allied Bank Branches in Karachi and Lahore. The
duly filled form should be handed over to the Manager of
the Branch where you are maintaining your account. Non-
account
holders would first have to open an account with Allied
Bank to have access to this facility. You can feel absolutely
safe about your AlliedCash+ Card because it can only be
Hailey College of Commerce 53
used with the Personal Identification Number (PIN) which is
given to you by the bank. As a security measure, you should
keep this number absolutely Confidential.
How to use
The instructions appearing on the screen of ATMs have
been designed to help the customer in using the facility.
Graphical representations have been employed, where
appropriate, for ease of understanding the following simple
guidelines would also be useful.
Inserting the card
Please insert your AlliedCash+ Card in the Card Slot
located at the front of the machine. The Card must be
inserted with its face up as indicated on the machine.
Entering PIN
The PIN has to be keyed in using the Key Pad located
just below the screen. Please note that the PIN is not
displayed on the screen as it is keyed in. This is to keep the
PIN confidential from onlookers. A precaution to keep in
mind is that the Key Pad should not be directly visible to
any other person when you enter your PIN. This is easily
accomplished by positioning yourself in such a way that you
stand close to the machine directly in front of the Key Pad.
Hailey College of Commerce 54
Changing PIN
When changing your PIN, you would be asked to key in
your existing PIN once, and new PIN twice to ensure that
you did not make a mistake while entering your new PIN.
Menu selection
Most of the options available on ATM screens are to be
selected by using the eight Menu keys located on the sides
of the screen, or on each side. You will notice that options
appear on the screen by dividing the screen into boxes. For
selecting the desired option, press the Menu Key next to the
appropriate box.

Choosing Cash Withdrawal, on the other hand, will permit
you to specify the exact amount (in multiple of Rs. 500 upto
maximum of Rs. 10,000) by using the key Pad below the

Cards capture
ATMs automatically capture cards that have been duly
reported as lost or have been cancelled. Similarly, if you fail
to enter your correct PIN in 3 repeated attempts, the
machine will capture the card. Also any cards unrecognized
Hailey College of Commerce 55
by the ATM may be captured. In all such cases, ATM
services will not be made available. In case your Card is
captured, please contact the manager of bank branch where
the Card has been captured.
Time out
In order to provide added security, ATMs are
programmed to capture the card if the customer forgets to
take it back after a transaction. Similarly, if you forget to
take the cash within a pre-set time limit, the machine will
take it back. Typical time for recapture of the card/cash is
20 seconds. You should, however, be careful to take both
your card and the cash before moving away from the
machine as it cannot be guaranteed that the machine will
recapture them before they are taken away by the next user
or a passer by.
Out of service
Occasionally, a particular ATM may be out of service.
This would be indicated on the screen displaying the status
of the machine. Various factors could cause this condition,
which includes telecommunication problems, hardware
breakdowns, power shutdowns, insufficient cash in the
Hailey College of Commerce 56
machine, etc. If you encounter an out of service ATM,
please proceed to the nearest available ATM for service.
Loss of card
In case you lose your AlliedCash+ Card or the Card is
stolen, the matter should invariably be bought to the notice
of the Bank personnel as soon as you discover the loss. For
this purpose, the Branch Manager must be notified in
writing immediately.

8. Account Opening Forms
9. Vouching
Token Book
On my 1st day of internship I maintained this book. The
procedure for the maintenance of the book is here after.
When a customer of a bank wants to withdraw any amount,
he draws a cheque and gives to relevant officer who enters
this cheque in token book. The officer notes the kind of
account, number of cheque, account number and amount of
cheque. The officer stamps the cheque and gives the
relevant token to the customer.
On the credit side of the token book the officer records
all the receipts of the day, and a the end of public dealing
time the token book is closed and total of both sides must
tally with cashier’s book. I performed this duty for 10 days.
Cheque Return Register
When there is not enough balance in the credit of the
customer or the signature of the account holder does not
tally with the specimen signature available in the branch
the cheque is returned to the cheque holder and an entry is
made in the Cheque Return Register after taking the
signature of the holder. This book is maintained
simultaneously with the token book.
Hailey College of Commerce 70
Mail Inward Register
The 11th day I was assigned with the duty of
maintaining the mail inward register and after that it was
my duty to record the daily inward mail in this book. In this
register any letter of instruction received by any branch is
recorded. In this register serial number, from which the
mail is received, object of mail and date of receiving is also
written.
Mail Outward Register
In this register the serial number, the purpose of mail,
addresses and date of letter issue to the other branches and
head office is written. This register is quite the same as the
inward register and it also was included in my daily
responsibilities from the 11th day.
Clearing Inward Register
The next task assigned to me after successfully
maintaining the token book was the clearing inward
register. The clearing inward register shows all the sums,
which are received from other branches and other banks.
In this register the serial number, date of clearing, date of
instrument issued, amount of instrument and name of other
Hailey College of Commerce 71
branches and banks to whom the funds are transferred are
recorded. I performed my services to this department for
one week.
OBC Register
In the mid of third week my duty was to maintain the
OBC register. The OBC register shows all the sums, which
are received by the branches from the same bank and the
other banks on the behalf of its customers. In this register
the serial number, date of the instrument, name of drawee
(branch of same bank or other bank) and amount of
instrument is also recorded. This register contain all the
instrument received by the branch other than the cities of
Lahore, Karachi, Rawalpindi, Islamabad.
Sorting of Cheques:
This was the duty included in my daily responsibilities.
While performing this duty I had to sort all the cheques
received by the branch separately showing the nature of
account and the pay-in-slips as well.
Account Opening:
Hailey College of Commerce 72
I spent one week (starting from 25th July) of my
Internship Training in Account opening. Bank’s customers
may be individuals (Single or Joint), firms
(partnership/proprietorship), Autonomous corporations,
Limited Companies, Charitable Institutions, Associations
Educational Institutions or Local Bodies. ABL normally
opens following types of accounts.
Current account
Saving account
Brief explanation of these accounts is as follows:
Current Account:
Current A/c is basically used to meet the daily transactions.
Current account provides safety to the customer’s money,
gives the advantage for paying debts by the convenient and
safe means of sending cheques through the post thus
avoiding the trouble and loss.
Saving Account:
In case of saving accounts, account holder gets profit. In
Allied Bank of Pakistan Ltd. saving a/c is operated just like a
current a/c and there is no main difference between current
& saving account except profit.
Basic information required to open an account:
Hailey College of Commerce 73
The opening of an account is the establishment of
banker customer relationship. By opening an account at a
bank a person becomes a ‘customer’ of a bank.
Following are the steps involved in the opening of new
accounts
Introduction and preliminary investigation:
Before a banker opens a new account he should
ascertain whether or not the person desirous of opening the
account is a desirable customer. The banker should
determine the prospective customer’s integrity,
respectability, occupation and the nature of business by the
introductory references given at the time of account
opening. Negligence in this informal preliminary
investigation may result in serious consequences not only
for the banker concerned directly but also for other bankers
and the general public who may be affected indirectly. In
Ladbroke & Co. V Todd (1914), the banker did not obtain
introduction at the time of opening the account, and it was
construed a negligence within Section 82 of the Bills of
Exchange Act 1882.
In order to further strengthen and streamline this
process, the Federal Ombudsman of Pakistan, vide his
ruling on complaint No. II/31/5186, has directed the banks
to retain with the account opening form a Photostat copy
each of the National Identity Cards of the person desiring to
Hailey College of Commerce 74
open an account as well as that of the introducer. As per
these directions, the concerned Branch Managers are
required to obtain the original National Identity Cards along
with their Photostat copies and then return the original
after attesting the authenticity of the retained copy.
Specimen Signature:
When an account is opened with a banker customer
gives the banker a specimen of the form of signature which
would appear on all his cheques to express his authority for
the payment of cheques drawn on his banker. This specimen
is taken generally on a card specially designed for the
purpose, and rule for the customers, full name, and account
number are entered on it.
If the we have reasons to doubt the genuineness of a
signature, we should either get it confirmed for his
satisfaction or return the cheque with the remark
‘Signature differs’. Because If the signature of the customer
is forged the banker cannot escape his liability because he
has acted on his customer’s mandate.
Illiterate Person:
Hailey College of Commerce 75
A person is not disqualified to become a customer of
the bank merely because of his illiteracy. The extra
precautions to be taken in this case are as under:
As a matter of Rule I used to obtain 2 or 3 passport size
photographs of the prospective customer. One copy is
pasted on the account opening form, the other copy is
pasted on the specimen signatures card, and the third copy
of photograph is pasted with the cheque book.
Instead of specimen signature, the left hand thumb
impression from male, and right hand thumb impression
from female account holders is taken on the cards as well as
on the account opening form.
An illiterate customer must come personally to operate his
account, because he must put his thumb impression on the
cheque in the presence of the bank officer attesting his
thumb impression.
An illiterate account hold should be advised not to issue
cheques payable to other persons either for cash payment
or for collection and clearing.
Vouching:
Hailey College of Commerce 76
The other responsibility of the accountant other than
account opening is of vouching different instrument
received in the branch i.e. DDs, TTs, DACs etc. While
performing duties with the accountant I helped him in the
preparation of vouchers as well.
Accounts Department
In the second month I served for the accounts
department. Work done in accounts department is divided
into different classes
1. Salary Register
2. Demand Draft Issued Register
3. Demand Draft Payable Register
4. Telegraphic Transfer Issued Register
5. Telegraphic Transfer Payable Register
6. DAC Register
7. Cheque Book Issue Register
Salary Register
At the start of the second month the accountant told
me the procedure of maintaining salary register at the end
of the month. In the salary register the salaries of all the
Hailey College of Commerce 77
employees are recorded. In salary register the basic salary
and all the facilities are recorded e.g. accommodation,
conveyance, utilities and provident fund recorded. In salary
register the amount of tax deducted at source on salary are
also recorded.
Demand Draft Issued Register
I worked in the department for another 7 days and for
these days I maintained different registers. The detail for
all of these is given ahead. On the second day I maintained
the DD issued Register. When a person wants to transfer
some amount form one place to another place he can
transfer it through draft. The branch orders to another
branch or bank to pay certain sum of money according to
the apparent tenure of the instrument. The bank charges
commission against this facility. In demand draft issue
register the date of draft issue, name of payee, name of
drawee and the date of issue is written. The bank issues
the advice to the drawee branch against the issuance of
draft.
Demand Draft Payable Register
In demand draft payable register the bank record of all
the particulars of the demand draft payable. The bank only
pays that demand draft against which advices have been
received.
Hailey College of Commerce 78
Telegraphic Transfer Issued Register
In telegraphic transfer issue register all the particulars
of telegraphic transfer e.g. drawee branch, the name,
number of beneficiary and amount of telegraphic transfer
are recorded.
Telegraphic Transfer Payable Register
When the branch receives the advice from other bank
it also records it in telegraphic transfer register with all the
particulars e.g. date, name of drawee, amount and name
and account number of the beneficiary also is recorded.
DAC Register
In DAC register the bank records all the relating
matters of deposit at call.
Cheque Book Issued Register
I maintained the cheque book register for three days in
the second month. When the customer of a bank wants to
withdraw his funds from the bank he/she uses cheque. For
this purpose he gives the application to the manager. The
officer and manager verify the application, and then the
cheque book is issued. In cheque book register the date of
issue of cheque book, kind of account, number of leaves,
Hailey College of Commerce 79
and account number of the customer is recorded. The
signatures of the receiver are also taken on the cheque book
issue register.
Cash Department:
In the last week of my internship period I performed
two duties in Cash department i.e.
Scrolling
Cashier Book
Scrolling:
Scrollng is a procedure of recording the bills received
the branch throughout the day. I made different scrolls for
different bills that include electricity, telephon, suigas and
water and sanitation. Four copies are prepared by the
branch. Out of these one is kept by the branch and other
are given to the concerned offices.
Cashier Book:
It was the final task of my duties and show my good
zeal to perform this task efficiently and effectively upto my
Hailey College of Commerce 80
optimum level for the betterment of the branch. In
response I got the reward from the manager of the bank
that he give me a good party. The procedure that is
adopted to maintain the cashier book is very simple. I just
enter the cheques alongwith its particulars in the book and
made a total of the amount at each and every page and get
grand total matched with the token book.

Comments on Horizontal Analysis:
Although the bank’s total assets have increased by
23.42% in 1997-1998 and 19.66% in 1998-1999 but the
management of ABL should take notice of its balance
with other banks. ABL balance with other banks have
been increase by 36.06% in 1997-1998 but decrease
by 6.46% In 1998-1999 which is not positive sign for
the management of allied bank of Pakistan.
The investment made by allied bank of Pakistan
increase by 26.81 in 1997-1998 and 4.57% in 1998-
1999. No doubt the investment decreases from the
previous year due to atomic blast even though the
investment in 1999 has increased by 4.57% from 1998
that is a good sign for the management of the Allied
Bank of Pakistan .
In order to meet the expansion plans, the fixed assets
have been increasing at a continuous pace and
although that the borrowing from other banks that
represent long term liabilities have increased but there
Hailey College of Commerce 86
is also a corresponding increase in the fixed assets of
the bank as well.
The management of Allied Bank should take a notice of
the increased trend of required working capital in
order to meet the expansion plans.
The bills payable had increased in 1997-1998 by
27.04% and have increased in 1998-1999 by only
14.43% which is a good sign that reflects
the decreasing trend in the short term liabilities. So
the performance of Allied Bank in this field is good.
Allied Bank has been successful in maintaining a
handsome amount of Reserve Account to meet the
emergency requirements. And the balance has been
continuously increasing for the past two years.
The management of Allied Bank should take the notice
of the fact that the Commission and Brokerage earned
by the bank has been decreased by 15.77% from the
previous year. So the management should take active
measures to overcome this problem.
Hailey College of Commerce 87
The Dividend earned position was not satisfactory in
1997-1998 because there was decreasing trend in
Dividend by 21.73% but due to effective management
the Allied Bank of Pakistan has become able to earn
handsome dividend in 1998-1999 i.e. 51.32% which is
much more than the past years.
The management should be careful about
Administrative Expenses which are increasing
continuously.
Tax is a statutory requirement of the company but
there is a decreasing trend in the Tax liability of the
company it means that the management of Allied Bank
is enjoying a relief in its tax liability.
Another reason of the low profit of ABL is that the
other incomes earned by the bank have decreased
from the previous years as well as the expenses are
increasing. So the management of Allied Bank must
take notice of the fact and it should adopt the better
cost control methods in order to eliminate the
administrative expenses in order to generate more
profit.

Comments on Vertical Analysis
Hailey College of Commerce 90
In the year 1999, cost of deposits and borrowing is
representing a soaring figure of 95.41% of mark up or
interest owned by Allied Bank of Pakistan while it was
87.31% last year. The management of ABL should take a
notice of it and make arrangements of investing and
depositing I more profitable avenues.
Net profit before tax of ABL for the year 1999 is only
0.96% of markup or interest earned, as compared to 2.80%
in the year 1998. The authorities of ABL should take notice
of cost on deposit first of all. Secondly fees, commission
and brokerage earned by ABL during 1999 has decreased as
compared to 1998.
Vertical analysis reflecting the fact that although
operating expenses are decreasing to last year but along
with this operating income is not increasing at a good pace.
Management of ABK should make sincere efforts to increase
its operating income at a good rate.

Ratio Analysis:
Ratio simply means one number expressed in term of
another. A ratio is a statistical yardstick by means of which
relationship between two or various figures can be
compared or measured. The term accounting ratio is used
to describe significant relationship between figures shown
on a balance sheet, profit and loss account or in any other
part of accounting organization. Accounting ratio thus
shows the relationship between the accounting data.

Comment:
Hailey College of Commerce 92
In 1998 the ratio has increased from 0.0186% to 0.0219%.
This is due to increased in net profit after tax but in 1999
the ratio has declined to 0.0099%. there are two reasons.
One reason is due to decline in net profit and second reason
is increase in total assets. Net profit after tax is decreased
by 46% and this decrease is due to increase in
Administrative Expenses i.e. 11.09%.

Return on Equity 0.35% 0.66%
0.90%
Comments:
Return on Shareholder Fund is decreasing
continuously from 2006 to 2007. If this ratio decreases due
to decrease in Profit, it is not a positive sign, but if the ratio
Hailey College of Commerce 93
decreases due to increase in shareholders’ equity, it is not
bad. In this case the net profit of year is more 2006 then
that of year 2007, but the ratio decreased due to increase in
the shareholders’ equity, which is resultant of increased
reserves. The sharp decline in year 2007 is due to decrease
in profits.

Comments:
Net profit as percentage of Interest received increased
a little in 1998 (from 0.2718% to 0.3234%), but it is very
low and has a decreasing trend in year 1999 it decreased to
0.1447% from year 1998 i.e. 0.3234% the decrease in the
Hailey College of Commerce 94
profit from year 1998 to year 1999 is too much than an
increase in profit volume from year 1997 to year 1998. The
decreasing Net Profit trend shows the management’s
inefficiencies to control the operating costs and maximize
the profit.

Comments:
Because there is no issuance of share capitals in year
1998 and year 1999. The profit increased in year 1998, but
it has decreased in 1999 and that is why earning per share
has also decreased to 0.0992. This ratio has a great
Hailey College of Commerce 95
importance for the shareholders point of view. The
shareholders want a higher return on their investment.

Comments:
This ratio shows a relationship between loans and
advances and reveals how much productively the deposits
are used. Analysis shows an increase in loan to deposit
ratio, this is because of Govt. has decreased lending rate
that is why borrowing is more in 1999 as compared to in
1998 on the other hand bank’s deposits are also increasing
sharply if deposits increase by higher rate than an increase
in loan then bank has to face difficulty to pay its borrowing
cost to the lender.

Comments:
Total assets of the bank increased from Rs.89 (billion)
to Rs.107 (billion) in 1999 (72 billion to 89 billion in year
1998) and advances/loans net of provision have increased
from Rs.43 (billion) in 1998 to Rs.55 (billion) in 1999. We
have 22% increase in assets and 28% increase in total
assets is lesser than the increase in total advances which
has resulted in an increase in loan to assets ratio from
47.81% in 1998 to 51.68% in 1999.

Comments:
This ratio shows that how much cash is available to
meet the obligations of the depositors. In 1999 the ratio is
11.13% while it was 12.45% in 1998. This decrease shows
that the increase in cash is less than the increase in
deposits i.e. the increase in cash is 12.48% while the
increase in deposits is 21.64% as a result of which the ratio
has declined.

Comments:
Equity Ratio shows the relationship between the
external debt and the total internal debts. In 2005 the ratio
decrease as companred to 2006 to 28.77. This shows that
the increase in external debts is less than the increase in
internal debts. But in 2007 we see that the ABL relied on
external debts i.e. Rs.104 Billion to meet the obligations.

Proprietary Ratio 2.82% 3.36%

Comments:
This ratio explains that participation in the assets by
the shareholders funds is limited by outsiders fund but
Hailey College of Commerce 99
when we take year under review (2007) we see ratio has
further decreased in 2005 as compared to the year 2006
that was increased in year 2007. Reason behind this is that
increase in assets in financed by outsider’s fund rather than
the fund provided by the shareholders because there is
lesser increase in shareholders fund as compared to
increase in total assets.

This ratio shows the relationship between the total

analysis shows that this position is favorable for the Bank
because it does not rely on external funds.

Comments:
Calculation made on the base of data available shows
that profit earning after taxes in 1999 has decreased due to
increased financial cost of funds for which expected
investment avenues did not open up the situation rather
worsened with reduced return on lending. Here in this ratio
we see that ratio is disturbed by the single factor of
reduction in profit as there in no further flotation of share in
the stock exchange in current year.

5,026,784
Operating Ratio 51.04% 56.06%
73.54%
Comments:
As the ratio shows the operating costs are decreasing
year by year. In year 2007 it was 73.54 % of the interest
earned and it decreased in year 2oo6 to 56.06% in the next
year it again decreased to 51.04% of the interest earned.
The decreasing trend of the operating costs shows the
efficiency of the management to control the operating costs.
But the Operating costs itself as a percentage of the interest
earned is very heavy although the management is trying to
control these costs; these are still a very huge percentage of
interest earned.

Comments:
In current year bank’s assets have been increased from
Rs.89 billion to Rs.107 billion there by increase @ 20% over
the last year (year 2005: 23.42% increase). On the other
hand bank’s equity has not increased and remained
unchanged during the year 2006, so this is the reason that
equity to assets ratio has decreased from 1.19% in 2006 to
0.99% in 2007. Denominator total assets have increased
substantially during the year 2007 but no increase in equity
capital resulting in decreasing ratio.

Problems and Recommendations
Normally when we study the performance of ABL it is
considered that on the whole the bank is contributing a lot
toward the industrial development and capital formation in
the country. As it is exhibited from the data regarding the
banks financial performance as hsown in the report that the
bank is sharing major banking business in the country.
Further the policies and schemes as are introduced and
carried on the bank are of great source of help in industrial
and trading growth. All these things reflect the great and
valuable efforts on the part of executive command of the
bank, which is finally responsible for the productive
performance of the bank.
So Far my own observation is concerned, I have
concluded a major drawback in the inner system of ABL, in
addition to that I have also learnt some disciplinary wrong
practices on the part of staff of the bank. I will discuss
these problems one by one.
Problems:
No doubt that bank enhance and finance facilities to
persons and parties seeking financial assistance for the
Hailey College of Commerce 104
establishment of industries, trading units, enhancement of
the existing projects etc. But some times the bank
managers and employees provides loans to their relatives
and friends without any securities and other things which
are necessary for getting the loan.
Sometimes some persons who are not financially
strong and having no arrangement of securities chalk out a
very useful and sould plan. But the bank rjects their
application. In this way a talented person of the country is
discouraged.
The aforesaid issue was an important one and hence
needs the attention of the executives of the bank. The other
irregularities, which I observed, are as under.
1. It is usually observed that the staff members waste lot
of valuable time while performing their duties. In
other words they cause unnecessary delay and take
extra time in accomplishing their task.
2. There are certain shortcomings charged to the
executive’s management of the bank who is
responsible for maintaining discipline I the bank
branches. They shold regulate such rules and orders.
Which may ensure the maximum output with minimum
imput by eliminating irregular and disciplinary
practices.
3. The bookkeeping and filing system of the bank are so
lengthy and time taking.
Hailey College of Commerce 105
4. The attitude of the bankers with all their customers is
not same. They pay mare attention to some of the
customers and neglect the others. Some of the
customers approach the bank officials and get their
work done before the other customers. This is not a
good practice.
5. There are so many customers who don’t know how to
full the cheque, pay-in-slip, application form etc. they
waste lot of time of the bank staff.
6. The government should advise all the customers who
submit electricity, telephone, gas and water bills in the
bank should open their accounts I the branches of the
bank near to their homes. In this way the government
will get the payment of the bills prompltly and
customers will not waste their time.
7. During my internship I fee that the security system to
safeguard the deposit of the bank are not good. The
gunmen of the bank are busy in doing some irrelevant
jobs.
8. The officials who come to give and collect cash from
the branches are and put there weapons here and
there in the branch and get then in taking their friends
I the branch. So the bank should take step to improve
their security system.
Recommendations/Suggestions
1. With reference to Analysis
Hailey College of Commerce 106
2. General
With reference to analysis
■ Pre tax profit decreased from Rs. 170 million in the
2005 to Rs. 71 million in 2006. Analysis has done on
the last pages reflect the fact that the factor
responsible for this reduction in the profitability of the
bank is increase in the financial cost of the funds. In
my opinion the management of the bank should
explore new and more profitable investment avenues,
for investing these funds.
■ Fees, commission and brokerage earned by the bank
have been reduced by approximately 16% in 2007 as
compared to 2006. In this highly competitive
environment, bank can charge higher commission only
by providing efficient services to its customers and by
developing good banker customer relationship.
■ Horizontal analysis done on last pages shows that the
total operating expenses of the bank has been
increased is infect an increase of 11.09% in
administrative expenses. For reducing the cost in the
administrative expenses the banks management will
have to follow the policy of “Down Sizing” besides
taking the other measures.
Hailey College of Commerce 107
■ Bank’s borrowing from banks and agents has increased
in 2007. This is not a good sign. The bank should try
to generate the funds by introducing its own schemes.
General:
■ The Bank should spread its branch network throughout
the world especially in the countries involved in
international trade with Pakistan.
■ In order to complete with the other banks ATM
services should be expanded throughout the country.
■ All branches should be linked through network that
can better help to meet the daily transactions. In this
regard Internet, E-mail and Fax Services should be
provided at least in the main branches of each region.
■ Some of the schemes are not profit making where as
the bank is an institution that earn earns from them, so
those unprofitable schemes should be finished as
Karsaaz Scheme.
■ Separate counters must be set up to give the facility of
bills collection of all utilities like WAPDA, SUI GAS,
and TELEPHONE.
■ There should be separate cashiers for the Receipts &
Payments in the each branch office.
Hailey College of Commerce 108
■ Door to door marketing in this regard especially media
and electronic marketing should be promoted in order
to acquire handsome share of banking sector.
■ Bank branches must be beautified internally and
externally by providing appropriate interior decoration.
■ As we know that only 15% of the people have their
bank accounts, so it is the need of the time to open the
branches in rural areas as well.
■ The bank should acquire the services of the highly
qualified people accompanied by lucrative incentives to
promote its status as desirable in the next millennium.
■ In order to market its products as Allied Tahaffuz
Deposit Scheme, it should accentuate to give
advertisements on both print and electronic media.
■ The bank should develop healthy relationships with the
renowned banks of the work in order to expand its
operations globally.
■ The individual efficiency of worthy employees should
be rewarded in the form of proper increments and
promotion in grades.

Concluding Remarks
In nutshell, it can be concluded that bank’s overall
performance is quite satisfactory. ABL’s total advances,
assits, investments, deposits and equity has increased, but
the profitability has decreased by a soaring percentage of
58.23%. The reasons, which I have traced out of my
analysis, are as follows:
1. Increased financial cost of funds for which the
expected investment avenues did not open.
2. Return o linding has been reduced.
3. Bank has increased its classified advances by 35% to
fulfill the requirement of the prudential regulation.
The fresh increase is mainly 51% in the other assets
especially mentioned (OAEM) classification. According
to the prudential requirement, accrued markup cannot
be credited to the incomes but to the suspense
account. Entry Passed is
Dr. Accrued income A/C
Cr. Suspense A/C
In spite of
Dr. Accured income A/C
Cr. Income A/C
Hailey College of Commerce 110
This has adversely affectied the profitability of the
bank.
4. During the year 2007, the economy of the country
remained sluggish in spite of the various policy
measures initiated by the government for the
confidence builing of the domestic investors and steps
taken such as:
Creation of small and medium enterprises
development authority (SMEDA).
Financing under the Prime Minister’s self
employment scheme.
Launching of Mera Ghar scheme.
For the revival of the economy, the expected
investment environment could not be created and
economy did not pick-up.
5. The large number of non-commercial banking
institutions also competed for limited resources and
investment avenues. Thus further narrowing the
spread of the banking industry.
