Evolution of BankingThe word 'Bank' is 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. They used to keep strong safes for storing the money and valuables of
the people. The first stage in the development of modern banking, thus, was the accepting of
deposits of cash from those people who had surplus of money.
The goldsmiths used to issue receipts for the money deposited with them. These receipts began to
pass from hand to hand as settlement of transactions because people had confidence in the
integrity and solvency of goldsmiths.
The goldsmiths soon discovered that all the people who had deposited money with them do not
come to withdraw their funds in cash. They found that only a few persons presented the receipts
for withdrawing cash during a given period of time. They also found that most of the money
deposited with them was lying idle. At the same time; they found that they were being constantly

requested for loan on good security. They thought it profitable to lend at least some of the money
deposited with them to the needy persons. This proved quite a profitable business for the_
goldsmiths. They instead of charging safe keeping charges from the depositors began to give
them interest on the money deposited with them. This was the third stage in the development of
banking.
Commercial Banking in Pakistan
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.
History of Banking In PakistanThe interesting point which I observed during the span of mine internship was the historical
background of Banking & Financial sector which is the one in which great improvement and
growth is observed since the formation of Pakistan. For studying the growth of this sector we can
divide it into three stages, which are as follows:
a) Pre-Nationalization Era
b) Nationalization Era
c) Post Nationalization Era

a) Pre Nationalization period:
There were only two Muslim banks in Indo Pak before partition; they were .Habib Bank Ltd. (est.
in 1941 at Bombay) & Australia Bank Ltd. (est. In 1944 at Lahore). All other banks, at that time,
were either owned by Hindus or Foreigners.
At the time of partition there were 631 bank branches in area which came under Pakistani
control. But due to bloodshed and violence at large scale, mostly branches were closed and the
disparity can be accessed from the fact that on July 1948 there were 195 branches with deposits
of Rs.88 crore (880 million) only. Also a factor lagging in Pakistani industry was a central bank
of its own, by that time Reserve Bank of India was acting as central bank for both countries andsame currency notes were used in both territories. But Reserve Bank of India was biased and Set
down Pakistan on many occasions such as the issue of funds transfer etc.
In this period drastic steps were taken in government sector for the improvement of overall
position. The private sector also responded to these changes and some very positive changes were
observed. Some of the steps taken by the government in this regard were as under
1) Inauguration of State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on 1st July, 1948.
2) Setting up of National Bank of Pakistan in November, 1949 to control the 'jute' export inEast Pakistan and to act as agent of SBP.
3) Larger powers were given to SBP through SBP Act (1956) for controlling purposes.
4) Banking Companies Ordinance 1962 for protection and guidance to banks.
5) Establishment of specialized banks, such as ADBP (1952);
a) HBFC (Nov, 1952);
b) P1CIC (Oct, 1957)
c) IDBP (Aug. 1961);
d) NDFC (Jan, 1973).
These were the steps, which built a strong banking sector in Pakistan. This is also obvious from
the facts that by 1973 there were almost 10 foreign banks were working in Pakistan and all over
deposit position was around Rs.2300 crore (23,000 million). A bird eye view of 5 top banks was
as given below:

B) Nationalization PeriodOn January 01, 1974 all Pakistani banks were nationalized through Nationalization Act 1974.
Under this law all Pakistani banks became a public property. All small banks were merged in
bigger banks to create 5 major Pakistani banks Pakistani banks. These banks were to control by
Pakistan Banking Council. There are still controversies about this act of government as whether it
contributed in success of failure of banks. However the major changes after nationalization were
as follows:
Working of banks was extended to under developed areas.
Market expansion for credit and deposits.
Decrease in service level of bank officers.
Decrease in profitability as well.
However the effect of expansion was enormous and it can also be depicted with the help of table
2 which shows the deposit & branch positions of different nationalized banks.

C) Post Nationalization EraIn 1990 the government decided to denationalize all the nationalized institutes. Some was also
suggested in banking sector. For this purpose, amendments were made to Nationalization Act
1974 and two nationalized banks were privatized. Along with this a permission to open banks in
private sector was also granted. The rules regarding establishment of new banks and for incoming
foreign banks were also relaxed.
The- privatized banks are;
a) MCB taken up by a private group in April, 1991
b) ABL taken up by its own employees in September, 1991.
c) UBL taken up by UAE party in 2002.
d) December 29, 2003 HBL was taken by AKFED
After these changes a large number of private and foreign banks started their operations inPakistan and the present status can be seen from the following figure:

WeaknessesA weakness is defined as an area in an organization where the organization is not as good atdoing something as its competitors or a thing which an organization lacks thus putting the
organization at disadvantage in comparison to its competitors. Based on the above definition,HBL has the following weaknesses.
Lack of communication between bank and customers about terms and condition of
products and services. Like centralization of cheque book issuing process.
Employees at branch level are not properly motivated to work by heart. They take the allroutine activities as a boring job.
Most of the employees lack managerial training as they are not properly educated. Due to
seniority, they have moved up on the hierarchy line to Grade-I, II or III positions havinghardly bachelor degrees. This type of senior staff cannot apply the modern and innovative
techniques of management in decision making.
Mission of HBL is not well defined. Though HBL is second largest bank in Pakistan, yet the fact remains that it is not market
leader as NBP. Its total assets are always less than NBP total assets.
Now as it is a privatize bank that is why GOVERNAMENT support to HBL decreased asit was in past
Opportunities
An opportunity can be defined as a change in external environment which if properly exploitedwith the organizational strengths will result in enhanced sales, market share, or income. Using itsstrengths, HBL can avail the following opportunities. Opportunities require explanation therefore
I have used headings instead of arrows
E-Banking
Generally speaking, three factors, quickness, easiness and cheapness have become the catchwordsfor the competitiveness and usefulness of all the business operations. Particularly it is
commonplace today to say that banking is undergoing a radical transformation. The symptoms
are new products, new players, new channels etc. This transformation is taking place across all
sectors of the banking industry. That is why Habib bank urgently needs to improve their ability,to think strategically about IT investments. Only those banks that use their technology resources
effectively have the opportunity to secure real competitive advantage in this fast-changingindustry through real product or service differentiation.

High mark up ratesOf late markup rates have increased considerably. Present rates are 4% above KIBOR i.e. 16%
appx. High markup rate has decreased the interest of people in loaning from from banks. Habib
bank can increase its income by offering loan at lower interest rate than other banks.
ONLINE BANKINGIt is doing banking transactions through our home P.C. The banks that do business through nethave Websites. The customer clicks into the Website and gets the history of the bank. Then hecan demand the necessary application form through the net. He fills in the form and passes it on
to the bank. The Online banking is fast gaining ground in Pakistan. Some software companies are
also offering network-banking facilities. So Habib bank should focus heavily on providing onlinebanking 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 forcustomers 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 cardto withdraw money at any time from the bank without interacting with human teller. Since the
ATM machine can be installed anywhere like petrol bunks, markets, railway stations etc, and can
well be linked to the main computer. It allows customers to transact with the bank 24 hours a dayand 365 days a year. They allow the customers to transfer money to and from accounts to viewaccount 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 returnThe 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
its deposit by offering attractive rate of return on deposits.

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.

HBL car to carHBL CarToCar is a revolutionary car financing offer. It makes the car of customer 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 everytwo years.
Features
Pay only for what you use
When customer lease a car under HBL CarToCar, he only pay for that part of the cars value that
he use during the lease term. The cars 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 pricethus lowering the finance amount. This finance amount is based only on a part of the cars valueand 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 cars residual value. Instead, HBL will directly settlethis 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 cars residual value to HBL orpay 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 ayHBL as the residual value

Working for 07 weeks in HBL as an intern was very informative experience for me. During the
time I learnt many new things which are surely going to help me in my professional career. It was
a good experience for me to observe and to be the part of practical working of an organizationlike HBL. During the internship I got a chance to understand general consumers behavior and
their needs and wants related to banking services and products.
Recommendations
Habib Bank is performing very well since its inception. It is quite difficult to give suggestion toimprove 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. 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 givingincentives qualification, work, experience, hard work and such other factors must be
considered.
2. Mismanagement of resources must be avoided as much as possible as it decreases profitbut also discourage hard worker and honest employees.
3. Habib Bank is going towards mobile banking but the problem is that a common client has
no idea of its usage due to lack of marketing. I think that a proper marketing programme
must be launched for clients awareness.

4. Banks different schemes must be conveyed to the targeted customers so that to have a
reasonable share in market.
5. Bank should help the society by providing interest free loans to the Talented Students.
6. Online Banking should be introduced in all the branches.
7. Aggressive publicity campaign must be introduced through press and Electronic media for
new products and scheme by initiating vigorous marketing policy.
8. The attitude of the bankers with all of their customers is not the same; they pay more
attention and good service to some of the customers and neglect a major portion of them.Some of the customers approach to the bank officials and get their work done before
others; it is not a good practice. All the customers should be treated equally.
9. HBL should increase its communication with customers about the terms and conditions of
its different products and services.
