Chapter # 01 Introduction
1.1 MEANINGS OF BANK
The word “bank” has been derived from the French word “banque” or bancus which means bench,
office or institution for the keeping, lending and exchanging of money. Some authorities have the
opinion that “Bank” is derived from the “Germen” word back which to the meaning of “joint stock
fund”. The bank is a financial institution that borrows money from one party and lends to the other
party (Government, individual, business) and the difference between borrowing and lending rate of
profit/Interest for the bank. Bank borrows and lends money on interest basis. Banks are classified
according to their sphere of activity; the main types of banks are as under.
Commercial bank
Industrial banks.
Agricultural banks.
Saving banks.
Exchange banks.
Central banks.
Cooperative banks
1.1.1 COMMERCIAL BANK:
Commercial is engaged in performing the routine duties of banking business. Such bank collects
the money from the people (as borrowing) and extends the same money as a loan for development
purposes. Commercial bank plays a vital role in the economic development of a country by
performing the variety of function as given below:
Accepting of deposits (Current, saving and fixed account).
Making loans and advances (overdraft, cash credit, discounting bill).
11. 2
Agency services to customers (Collection of cheques, dividends, electricity, water and gas
bills, and sale of securities, and acts as a trustee.
General utility services (Foreign business, Issue traveler cheques, providing trade information).
1.2 HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF BANK
History of bank is very old; the history of bank is traced to as early as 2000 B.C. The priest in
Greece used to keep money and valuable of the people in temples. Its origin is also traced to early
goldsmiths. They used to keep strong safe, for storing the money and other valuable of the people.
People with surplus money deposited with them. The first stage in the development of banking was
the acceptance of deposits from people.
Later on goldsmiths began to issue receipts for the money deposited with them to settle
transactions. These receipts were used in payment of debt and acceptable to all. This was the
second stage towards the development of banking.
When goldsmiths realized that they had surplus money therefore they intended to lend some
portion of money to he nearly traders and merchants who constantly requested for loans This
business was quiet profitable and they instead of charging interest from depositors began to give
interest on the money deposited with them to attract more people this was the third stage towards
the development of banking.
They also planned to allow the customers to withdraw in excess of the amount deposited to meet
the customer’s needs. This facility is called overdraft and they used to keep some portion of money
for this purpose. After some time there was then started too much confusion in the banking system
and they were not able to meet the demands of customers. This failure on the part of money lender
to return money caused distress among the people.
To overcome this problem people felt that their must be a bank which control the banking
activities of different lending organization. As a result of conference held in 1548 at Nuremberg.
12. 3
The decision was taken in favor of establishing a bank that regulates the banking activities. The
first bank was found in Geneva in 1587. Later on many other banks were established will the same
objective. We can conclude that commercial banking system actually developed in nineteenth
century. Now a days the banking activities has greatly increased commercial banks are now multi
serviced organizations and play an important role in financial markets and in the economic
development of the country. Habib Bank Ltd is a Banking HBL which is engaged in Commercial
& Retail Banking and related services domestically and overseas. HBL Enjoy 20% of the market

1.3 ESTABLISHMENT OF HBL
Habib Bank Limited was established by Mr. Ismail Habib (Late) on August 25, 1942 at Bombay. It
was the first Muslim Bank of the sub-continent. It was established with a Paid up capital of Rs.
2.5millon. Today, HBL plays a central role in Pakistan's financial and economic development. It
has come a long way from its modest beginnings in Bombay on August 25, 1941 when it
commenced operations with a fixed capital of 25,000 rupees. Impressed by its initial performance,
Quaid-e-Azam Mohammed Ali Jinnah asked the Bank to move its operations to Karachi after the
creation of Pakistan. HBL established itself in the Quid’s city on August 7, 1948 and became a
symbol of pride and progress for the people of Pakistan. Habib Bank has been a pioneer in
providing innovative banking services. These have included the installation of the first mainframe

Chapter # 02 NATURE OF ORGANIZATION
2.1 Accepting Deposits
The primary function of HBL is to accept and receive surplus money from the people, which they
willingly deposit with the Bank. Like all other Banks, HBL also take incitation to attract as much
depositor’s as it can. They offer different deposit schemes to its customers, which includes the
following types. These schemes as follow.
2.1.1 Current Deposits
This type of account is often maintained by the business. Current deposits are those deposits on
which Bank offers no interest but it allows the account holders to withdraw their money at any
time they want without giving any prior notice to the community, which requires large sums of
money very often for their business transaction.
2.1.2 Profit and loss sharing account (Saving)
Saving deposits or PLS is those accounts on which Bank offers a lower rate of interest. After the
Islamization of the Banking system in the country it has been given the name of PLS saving
account. The Bank undertakes to repay deposits on demand up to a certain amount.
2.1.3 Fixed deposits
Fixed deposits are those which can be withdrawn only after the maturity period. In this type of
deposits the Bank allows high rates of interest depending on the time period of deposits. The
shorter the period of deposits, the less will be the interest and vice versa.
2.2 Making Loans and advances
The second most important function of HBL is to provide financing facility to its customers. These
loans and advances are usually made against document of title to goods, marketable securities, and
17. 8
personal securities. HBL charges different interest rates on these loans and advances depending on
the terms and conditions settled with the customers. Following types of loans and advances are
made available to the customers.
2.2.1 Demand Finances
Demand finances are those finances which are given to the borrowers for specified period and can
be called back without any prior notice. It is a single transaction finance. It can be long term,
medium term and short term. Mark up is also charge. Here the amount can be withdrawn once at
the time of disbursement.
2.2.2 Running Finance
HBL provides these finances against the security of current assets like shares, bond, cash crops like
cotton and other cashable commodities. The borrower’s account is opened with the Bank with the
amount of the total loan provided or allowed to the borrower. The borrower is allowed to withdraw
any amount from his account within the specified limit and interest is charged only on the amount
actually withdrawn.
2.2.3 Over Draft
This type of facility is usually given to very loyal clients. This allows them to withdraw over and
above the amount held by them in their account, and interest is charged only on the amount, which
is withdrawn in excess of the amount actually held in their account.
2.2.4 Discounting bills of exchange
Discounting bills of exchange can also be considered as a form of loan because it allows the holder
to get the bill encased before the maturity period. A bill of exchange is usually issued by the
importer of goods to the exporters, which allows them to be paid in their own currency after three
months time. If the exporter needs the money before the maturity of the bill of exchange, he can
18. 9
get his money from the Bank by discounting the bill of exchange. The Bank utilizes their surplus
funds by discounting the bills of exchange at their market worth.
2.3 Business volume
Habib Bank Limited (HBL), Pakistan’s biggest IPO of Rs 12 billion in terms of value, will be
formally listed today at the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE). This listing would further add Rs. 162
billion to the banking sector market capitalization of nearly Rs 3,700 billion if we simply take the
offer price of Rs 235/share as a proxy. Pakistan’s banking sector has already got the biggest share
of 29% in the market capitalization of KSE and with this listing it will increase up to 33%.
We have signaled our positive outlook for the bank in our detailed ‘Pakistan’s banking jewel’ IPO
report on HBL mainly due to 1) our forecasted CY07 ROE of 27% which is also in line with high
performing peer banks viz. MCB Bank & United Bank (UBL) 2) satiating 10% yield on earning
assets 3) presence of more than 80% low cost deposits and mere 4.2% weighted average cost on
remunerative deposits 4) greater market share of fee-based income of 16% vis-à-vis peer banks 5)
management thrust on retail banking 6) strong brand equity. On the flipside, recent draft circular
by State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) regarding withdrawal of forced sale value (FSV) facility on
illiquid securities in taking provision coverage against non-performing loans (NPLs) is a blow to
HBL. HBL has relatively low provision coverage against historical NPLs and we expect the bank
to make more provisioning to the tune of Rs 5.2 billion that could impair our CY07 EPS forecast
of Rs 26.85/share.

Chapter # 0 4 ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
A well-developed and properly coordinate structure is an important requirement for the success of
any organization. It provides the basic framework within which functions and procedures are
performed. Any organization needs a structure, which provides a framework for successful
operations. The operation of an organization involves a number of activities, which are related to
decision making, and communication of these decisions. These activities must be well coordinated
so that the goals of the organization are achieved successfully.
4.1 STRUCTURE OF HBL
At present the Bank operates through one central and 23 Regional Offices and 1439 branches, all
over Pakistan. The president and Executives Committee look after the affairs of the Bank. Each

4.3 Comments on the organizational structure
The purpose of an organizational structure is to help in creating an environment for human
performance. It is then, a management tool and not an end in its own. Although the structure must
define the task to be done, the rules so established must also be designed in the light of abilities
and motivation of the human recourse available. By analyzing the organizational structure of HBL
presence of the following elements can be found in its structure.
4.3.1 Centralized Decision Making
By looking at the organizational structure of HBL would be found that the structure at HBL is a
critical one. All the decisions are made at the top management level and the subordinates have to
obey these decisions. This trend in the decision making shows a pattern of rigidity in structure of
HBL.
4.3.2 Downward Communication
Communication is the process by which information is exchanged and understood by two or more
people, usually with the interest to motivate or influence the behavior of others in the organization.
Downward communication is the message and information sent from top management to
subordinates in a downward direction. Managers can communicate downward to the employees
through speeches, massages in HBL publications, information leaflets, tucked into pay envelops
material on bulletin boards, policy and procedure mandates. The same pattern is followed at HBL.
No doubt it’s a very traditional approach but it can create problems because it ignores the receiver
of the communication because the issuer
Of policies and procedures does not ensure communication. In reality may the messages
communicated downward are not understood perfectly.

1.3.3. Chain of Command
The chain of command is an unbroken line of authority that links all persons in an organization and
shows who reports to whom. By analyzing the organizational structure it can be found that there is
a scalar principle followed with in the Bank because each and every person knows to whom can
one report. The authority and responsibility for different tasks and duties are different, as well as
every one knows the successive levels of management all the way to the top.
4.3.4 Authority and Responsibility
The chain of command illustrates the authority structure of HBL. Authority is the formal and
legitimate right of the manger to make decisions, issues orders and allocates resources to achieve
organizational desired outcomes. By analyzing the chain of command of HBL, one can come to the
conclusion that, as there is scalar pattern followed at the organizational setup of HBL therefore it is
implied that everyone in his position knows that what is one’s authority and what is the
responsibility and the authority it allocated.
4.3.5 Delegation
Delegation is the process, which managers use to transfer the authority and responsibility to
position below in the hierarchy. Most organizations today encourage managers to delegate
authority to the lowest possible level to provide maximum flexibility to meet customer needs and
adapts to the environment. But at HBL no such system prevails the managers try to keep as much
of the authority as they can and if some authority is delegated it is sure that it will be misused

5.5 Financial Analysis
Financial analysis is the process of identifying the financial strengths and weakness of the firm by
properly establishing relation ship between the items of balance sheet and profit and loss account,
in order to make rational decision in keeping with the objective of the organization, for that
purpose the management use analytical tools. To evaluate the financial condition and performance
of the business entity, the financial analyst needs to perform "checkups" on various aspects of the
business financial health.
A tools frequently used during these checkups is a financial ratio analysis, which relates two piece
of financial data by dividing one quantity by the other we calculate ratios because in this way we
get a comparison that may prove more useful than the raw number by themselves. The business
itself and outside providers of capital (creditors and investors) all undertake financial statement
analysis. The type of analysis varies according to the specific interest party involved. The nature of
analysis is depending at the purpose of analyst.
5.6 Ratio Analysis
Ratio Analysis is an important and age-old technique of financial analysis. Ratios are important
and helpful in the reference that:
39. 30
These simplify the comprehension of financial statement and tell the whole story of changes in
the financial conditions of the business.
These provide data for inter-firm comparison. The ratios highlight the factors associated with
successful and unsuccessful firms, also reveal strong and weak firms.
These help in planning and forecasting, these can assist management in its basic functions of
forecasting, planning, coordination and control.
These help in investment decision in case of investor and lending decision in case of Bankers
etc.
However, the ratios are only indicators, they cannot be taken as final regarding good and bad
financial position of the business other things have also to be seen.
RETURN ON EQUITY
Dividing profit after taxation by share holder’s equity. ROE compares net profit after taxes to the
Share holder’s Equity. This ratio is calculated as:
ROE = Profit after taxes/Share holder’s Equity
2013 = 29.42%
2012 = 33.61%
RETURN ON ASSETS
This ratio shows the efficiency of organization that how efficiently utilizes their assets. This ratio
relates profits to assets. It is calculated as:
Profit after Tax/Total Assets
2013 = 3.60%
2012 = 4.60%
40. 31
EARNING PER SHARE
N.P.A.T ÷ No. Of outstanding shares
2013 = 24.47%
2012 = 24.30 %
RETURN ON DEPOSIT
N.P.A.T * 100 ÷ Total Deposit
2013 = 4.65 %
2012 = 5.22 %
CASH/DEPOSIT RATIO
“This ration is obtained by dividing cash by current liabilities / liabilities”. This ratio shows that
the cash is enough for payment of current liabilities or not.
It is calculated as cash Ratio = Cash/current liabilities Or =Cash/Total Deposit
2013 = 11.99 %
2012 = 13.58 %
41. 32
INTEREST INCOME/TOTAL INCOME RATIO:
Interest Income ÷ Total Income
2013 = 87.36 %
2012 = 83.13 %
NET PROFIT MARGIN:
This ratio measure the firm’s profitability of sales/ interest earned after taking account of all
expenses and income taxes. This ratio can be calculated as:
Net profit margin ration= Net Profit after taxes / interest earned *100
2013 = 33.54%
2012 = 39.92 %
AVERAGE PROFIT PER BRANCH:
Profit Net ÷ No. Of Branches
2013 = Rs. 14,984,990.25
2012 = Rs. 14,878,715.4
OPERATING EXPENSE RATIO:
Non markup expense ÷ Gross income
42. 33
2013 = 27.72 %
2012 = 21.96 %
TOTAL ASSET TURNOVER:
Interest/markup earned*100 ÷ Total asset
2013 = 9.02 %
2012 = 7.74 %
RISK ASSETS TURNOVER:
Net interest income after provision ÷ Risk assets
2013 = 65.98 %
2012 = 68.11%
ADVANCES TO TOTAL DEPOSITS:
This ratio show that how much efficiently the bank advances the deposits of their customer to
borrower. It is calculated as.
Advances deposit ratio = Advances/ deposit
2013 = 79.48 %
2012 = 74.96
43. 34
DUE FROM BANK TO DUE FROM BANK:
Landing to financial institution* 100 ÷ Borrowing from financial institution
2013 = 18.09 %
2012 = 2.66 %
5.7 Organization analysis in comparison with its industry (or with its
competitors)
Competitive advantage spells out the ‘uniqueness' of the organization vis-à-vis its competitors. so
the HBL also have uniqueness in its dealing with customers and also have uniqueness in his
strategy with other their competitors. Business analysis is imperative for the organization to
ascertain the mood and the conditions for starting or consolidating a business venture. Business
strategy analysis involves analysis of the organizational strategy to create a sustainable competitive
advantage. Primary objective of competitor analysis is to understand and predict the rivalry, or
interactive market behavior, between firms in their quest for a competitive position in an industry.
Therefore the HBL also always analyze their competitors Banks Toward this end, researchers have
examined factors that influence competitive and patterns of entry into and exit from rivals' markets
However, researchers have made limited effort to investigate the prebattle competitive relationship
between rivals and the extent to which it may predict rivalries behavior in the market. This
omission is due partly to the restricted conceptual treatment of competitor analysis, which has not
fully incorporated the essential antecedents that affect a firm's competitive activity, let alone
considered them in an integrated way.
Intensity of rivalry, one of Porter's (1980) well-known five forces driving competition, has
44. 35
remained mainly a theoretical construct confined to the industry level. In terms of analyzing firms
competing in an industry, the strategic-group far the most popular and relevant. However,
researchers who use this approach have largely ignored the market context in which competitors
carry on their battles and the extent to which two firms actually compete directly against each
other. Although the marketing literature recognizes the importance of the market context, its
contribution has been primarily in analyzing competitors and competition at the brand or
individual-market level rather than at the firm level. Other approaches usually represent a high
degree of abstraction and rely primarily on managers' or researchers' subjective perceptions, which
often are too remote to be linked to competitive behaviors in the market Thus far, some of the most
fundamental questions in competitor analysis have remained unexplored 1985). For example, how
can researchers studying competition differentiate among players in an industry to explain each
player's market behaviors? How can a firm, before launching an attack, assess its prebattle
relationship with a given rival and the resultant likelihood that this rival would retaliate? How can
a firm gauge which opponent is most likely to attack its markets? How can strategists differentiate
among a set of competitors to allow the firm to allocate appropriate resources and attention to
each? Finally, although the importance of competitor analysis and interfirm rivalry is well
recognized, there has been no systematic attempt to integrate the two topics.
This article seeks to provide a conceptual link by proposing two firm-specific, theory-based
constructs: the market commonality and the resource similarity between a given pair of
competitors. Taking the firm as the basis for analysis, I argue that each firm has a unique market
profile and resource endowment and that a comparison with a given competitor along these two
dimensions will help to illuminate the competitive relationship between them and to predict how
they may attack (or respond to) each other in the market. This firm-specific conceptualization also
leads to the idea of competitive asymmetry, the notion that a given pair of firms may not pose an
45. 36
equal threat to each other. I first offer a number of propositions that use market commonality and
resource similarity to predict competitive attack and response. I also propose measures to assess
market commonality and resource similarity along with a demonstration of how such measures
could be implemented. The article ends with a number of implications for research and practice.
5.8 Future prospects of the organization.
The structure of the Banking markets has changed radically over the last decade while in contrast
the futures markets more or less maintained the status quo. But now the futures markets are in
catch-up mode as evidenced by the emergence of some dark pools and, Banking firms are beefing
up their technology to take advantage of what is coming down the pike. For the future aspects the
HBL should be make itself active and also efficient and effective in the banking field and get the
competitive advantage. That when occur truly when the HBL produce new products and services
to their customers. The HBL should also introduce the new technologies in the Banking field
before their competitors and provide the facilities to their customers and get the customer's loyalty
The HBL should also provide the better service than their competitors and also should give the full
response in the any branch. The HBL also should improve their computerized system in the bank
and the bank in the future also want to trained their employees in any technology and also will
provide the new technology that facilitate the customers of the HBL

Chapter # 0 6 FUNCTIONING OF HBL where I did my internship
6.1 HBL bank is functioning under following set up:
6.1.1 BANK DEPOSITS
Deposits are to the bank as a backbone is to the body of a man. They are the lifeblood of the bank.
HABIB BANK LIMITED and all other commercial banks perform the function of deposit
accepting from the general public by offering suitable rates of interest on them, or on simply a
promise to repay on demand.
6.1.2 OPENING OF ACCOUNT BY AN INDIVIDUAL:
After entering into bank premises the person goes through the following steps for opening an
account in the bank and for becoming a bank customer.
6.1.2.1 AN INTRODUCTION
The first important step to take place in bank is to get satisfactory introduction of the person, who
wants to become bank’s customer by putting various questions.
In HBL (PANJERA BRANCH) the branch manager takes great care of this step and gets
introduced with the person himself. His main intention is to determine the prospective customer’s
integrity, respectability, occupation, and nature of business he is doing at the time of opening an
account.
6.1.2.2 ACCOUNT OPENING FORM & SPECIMEN SIGNATURE CARD
Now the person is provided with an application form known as Account Opening Form.
This form contains:
