Final 1

PART ONE
Introduction
Vast number of factors are there that are dominant in the economy of a country
and are responsible for its manipulation. These factors include inflation, rates of interest,
purchasing and buying power of the people etc. These factors are governed and
controlled through different financial institutes and instruments. One of the most
important financial instruments is the bank. These banks play a cordial role in this
regard.
According to the Investopedia, banks are defined as:
“A bank is a financial institution licensed to receive deposits and

make loans. Banks may also provide financial services, such as wealth
management, currency exchange, and safe deposit boxes. There are two
types of banks: commercial/retail banks and investment banks. In most
countries, banks are regulated by the national government.”
In simple words, a bank is such a financial institute whose elementary role is

borrowing and lending of money to other parties. The very concept of banking is
very old that was first introduced in the different churches of the Britain and it has
since evolved from a place of simple safe keeping of people’s valuables to a very
complex system (including the introduction of debit and credit cards, online
transfers, mobile and internet banking etc.).
BANKING SECTOR IN PAKISTAN
The Pakistan banking industry constitutes a total of around 31 banks, of which five
are public-sector and four are foreign, while there are 22 local private banks. The majority
of the banking business is concentrated in a select few in the industry—six banks are the
largest competitors in the economy and hold a major stake of the banking assets in
Pakistan. To be more specific, these banks collectively make up more than 57 percent of
deposits and 53 percent of advance in the economy. They are:
 Habib Bank Limited (HBL),

 National Bank Limited (NBL),
 United Bank Limited (UBL),
 MCB Bank Limited,
 Allied Bank Limited (ABL) and
 Bank Alfalah Limited.
The industry is regulated by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), which governs local banks
under the ambit of its prudential regulations. Moreover, the banks also must comply with
the international Basel III standards. Overall, the potential in this sector is huge. The
number of bank accounts amounts to 43 million in a total population of 195 million. The
reasons behind this large difference can be credited to the limited access to technology
in the country, the aversion to banks due to religious reasons and the great size of the
unbanked rural population. With that being said, the potential for growth is huge—
primarily because of the introduction of high-speed, mobile Internet; the advent of Islamic
banking; and the increased awareness of the benefits of banking in the country

mentioned functions. Though not very old since its inauguration, SBL has now

PLACE
Place plays an important role in tangibilizing service offerings. Quality of service is

perceived by many customers in the form of place of delivery- locational appeal, interiors,
ambience, etc. If a bank is located in a crowded market the place or location will be a
negative tangibilizes. Providing excellent tangibles in the form of place or location and
interiors is particularly important for appealing to the customers segment. More recently,
some of the private banks in Pakistan like Soneri Bank are providing very attractive
tangibles in the form of their locations, exteriors and interiors.
PROMOTION
Promotion can tangibilize services in different forms:
 Visualization
 Association
 Physical representation
 Documentation.
Visualization tangibilizes services through hoardings, TV and print campaigns or

advertisements. Physical representation in services has a good promotional appeal to
customers like use of colors to symbolize wealth and status. Service providers use
documentation in their promotions in support of their claims for dependability, popularity
and responsiveness
PEOPLE
People are a common factor in every service. And people tangibilize services.
Good people (means good performance) make good or successful services. Bad
performers deliver bad services.

 Credit department
 Import and export
 Foreign trade
 Islamic banking
1. Accounts Department:
Accounts department is the first way of communication and interaction between the bank and
the customers. It is because the bank has to deal with two types of customers. One type
consists of those customers who are called as the walking customers. These are not the
potential customer
2. Cash Department:
Cash department is one of the most critical departments and it encompasses the deposits
of the bank and also of individual branches. The Cash department of Soneri Bank limited works
under the operation department.
This department is given the complete responsibility of cash as a result of transaction in

local and foreign currencies. It is also responsible for the book keeping of these transactions and
the safe custody of cash. This department is one of the most sensitive departments of the bank.
This department performs the main function:

 Cash Receipts
 Cash Payments
Cash receipts
In cash department depositors use deposit slip for depositing the

amount into their accounts. The officer checks if the deposit slip is
properly filled up containing title of account. Account number date and
amount in words and figures. Detail on both counter file and cash
receipt voucher should be the same. Cash is received by cash receiving
officer twice counted and matched with the deposit slip. The cash

presented by the customer to cash payment officer. He confirms that it
is drawn on the same branch and the particulars of cheque are properly
filled. One signature of the customer is taken on the back of the cheque.

officer checks the date, amount in figures and words. After proper
checking account is debited and cheque is cancelled by the officer. It is
posted in the system and posting stamp is affixed on it and then cheque

REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT
Remittance department is basically related to the internal working of
the bank. This department deals with following types of working.
Pay Order
 Online Transfer
 Demand Draft
 ATM
 Debit cards
 Credit cards
In the SBL the Remittance Department is headed by one person who is responsible for
looking after the accounts of the branch and forming pay orders, Demand drafts, Telegraphic
transfer. He has to make sure at everyday that the branch is a balance, in my days there; there
was no one day that they had come across any problem of an unbalance.
1. Pay Order
Pay Order is a transferable instrument made by the bank, on account of a customer, to

pay on order the precise amount to the directed person (payee). It is in the city area .The banks
are not answerable of any theft or any mishandling of the pay orders. Pay Order is always drawn
on the bank that has issued it.
Making of a Pay Orders

When a person requires a Pay Order, he is asked to complete the prescribed application
form in which the amount of pay order is to be stated. Certain amount of commission and advance
tax is charged on issuance of pay order. After having the total amount deposited in the bank (in
cash or through cheque, in case of account holder), pay order is issued in favor of the payee.
Like cheques, when pay orders issued by Soneri Bank Limited, are presented in other
banks to get them deposited in the payee’s accounts, they comprise the outward clearing for
those banks and inward clearing for Soneri Bank Limited.
2. Online Transfer
One branch may send cash to another branch straightforwardly, with of course, the
permission of the head office. The usual process in such a case is that the head office in its books
should debit the receiving branch and credit the sending branch. But in the books of the head
office it views. The transactions as returning the cash to the head office and subsequently sending
cash to another branch.
3. Demand Draft (DD)
Demand drafts are used for the transfer of the money between the cities.
“A Demand Draft is a transferable instrument issued by the bank, on account of a person,

and drawn on its own branch in a precise city or on the branch of a different bank in that city (in
case bank doesn’t have any branch there), demanding it to pay the specified amount to the person
named on it”.
Demand Drafts are used to make outstation payments or to transfer money, out of the city.
Hence, a Demand Draft is always made for a detailed city.
Making of a Demand Draft

Assume a customer requests to provide him a Demand Draft made on his account for a
particular city like Karachi. Then, after having the total amount (together with commission and
advance tax) to be deposited with application form, demand draft is issued in favor of the specified
person in Karachi (hypothetical) and is drawn on SBP Limited, Karachi Branch. So, when this
demand draft is presented by payee in any bank, it constitutes the inward clearing of Soneri Bank
Pakistan Limited, Karachi Branch.
4. ATM
Soneri Banking Card offers convenient and 24-Hours-a-day, 365 days a year access to
ATMs across the country. When traveling within Pakistan, use the Card at Soneri Bank’s own
network of ATMs and hundreds of ATMs displaying either the 1-link or M-Net symbols.
5. Debit Cards
Soneri debit Card /Banking Card may also be used to pay for purchase / Services
made / availed from Merchants Outlets displaying ORIX logo. Soneri Debit Card does not
involve any repayments, interest charges or monthly billing, as you are using customer’s
own funds in customer’s account.
Working of Remittance Department
All these methods work on same principle. This method involves debiting main Soneri
account and then crediting client’s accounts. Changes are in form of symmetry or order of the
operation. For instance TT is used to transfer money electronically but it has been replaced by
online transfer on money. It has two types:
Advice and pay

In this method the customer is eligible to get the counter payment as soon as he/she gets
the instrument i.e. DD/PO etc.
Advice and credit
In this method the customer is not eligible to get the counter payment instead the amount
of instrument is directly credited to his/her account.
Clearing department is incomplete if IBC and OBC clearing schedules are not mentioned.
These to schedules are inter-bank and intra-bank procedures which are performed on daily basis.
The detail is given below:
Outward Bills for Collection

When an instrument is drawn on a bank, which is located outside the city, its proceeds
can be collected through a mechanism called Outward Bills for Collection (OBC).
Procedure:
All the cheques are received on one counter along with the paying slips duly filled
in properly containing particulars of cheques and account holder. Counter folio of paying
slip is handed over to the customer by putting stamp for “cheque received for collection
for Soneri Bank” on it duly signed by officer. These cheques are scrutinized and cheques
for local clearing are separated from OBCs. Cheques for local clearing are entered in
Clearing Register, whereas cheques for collection are entered in OBC register. OBC
number is allotted to the cheque from OBC register. Special crossing and bank
endorsement stamps are affixed on the cheque.
Inward Bills for Collection

If any other bank sends a cheque of Soneri Bank Limited, it is Inward Bill for
Collection. Soneri Bank remits money after checking the balance of the customer
account. The process of collection starts when the cheques of Soneri Bank Ltd are
received from other banks. Then these cheques are sent to the Head Office Karachi,
which sends the cheques to SBP for clearing and get the confirmation of cheque and
credit advice. Main activity of clearing is performed by Head Office, which contacts other
banks through SBP.

5. Import and Export Department:

trade department is carried out through the import and export department. The import and export
department works with the provision of following types of services.
 Advance payment
 D/A or on credit
 Cash against documents
6. Foreign Trade Department:
Specifically the FTD exists as a liaison between exporter and importer. It issues LC’s
comprising of guarantees, issuance of documents including airway bills, bills of lading, E-Forms,
exchange rates etc.
L.C commonly known as letter of credit or also documentary credit. In most of the cases
L.C is maintained for exports.
The basic purpose of an L.C is to issue sort of a guarantee on behalf of an importer. Like
if an importer asks for a shipment for which he or she intends to pay late or on credit then obviously
the exporter needs some sort of guarantee that the importer will really give back his or her money
as promised. Here the banks play their role.
The bank which opens the L.C is usually on the importer’s end giving a guarantee to the
exporter’s bank that in case the importer fails to pay the payment in the due time then the opening
bank will pay on his or her behalf. For opening an L.C there are certain requirements which the
banks take care of.
These are:-
 Invoices
 Bill of lading or airway bill
 Packing list
 Inspection certification
 Insurance cover Notification
Then it might also be the case that the opening bank which is opening the L.C on the
behalf of the importer does not maintain a sound image in the banking environment or it operates
in an environment that is unstable like in a war inflicted country that its worthiness can be doubted.
So in such type of cases the banks acting on behalf of the exporter may ask to indulge an advisory
bank or negotiating bank which is willing to give a guarantee on behalf of the opening bank.

The second week of my internship, I joined the clearing department which is also handle
by Mr. Waseem Toor and Miss Sadia. It is very interesting department according to my
knowledge. In this banks communicate with each other for clearing purpose. There are 3
types of clearing; normal clearing, intercity clearer paying and same day. A clearing house
is a place where representatives of banks of a city settle the receipts and payments of
cheque drawn on each other. Kinds are:
Inward clearing
Outward clearing
5.4.3.3.1 Inward Clearing

Mean of this type of clearing is that all those cheques which are issued by account
Holder to other parties and now these cheques are presented for payment.
5.4.3.3.2 Outward Clearing

This type of clearing is that when outside parties issue some cheque to our account
holder, they when outside parties issue some cheque to our account holders; they deposit
these cheques. As other bank operating in country are sent to clearing department.
“Saturday and Sunday off the bank”
Third Week
5.4.3.4 Cash Department
3rd week I joined the cash department, the supervisor of my Mr. Imtiaz Bhatti. It is so much
guides me, his attitude with internee so lovely. He has much year experience. There is
no chance of any mistake. They tell each and everything with procedure. Cash
department is very risk and tough. They keep the record of each and every transaction.
The important function of department is cash deposit and cash receipt.
5.4.3.5 Cash Deposit Procedure
Customer fill the pay slip, and given to cashier with amount. Cashier takes the slip and
amount and deposit in customer’s account with the help of computer. And also maintain
the record in computer with date, account number and amount. They stamp the slip with
the help of operational manager.
5.4.3.6 Cash Payment Procedure

When customer comes to withdraw his amount from his account, firstly he fills the cheque
with their signature. He gives to cashier, if the amount is less than Rs 50000 then they
easily gives him. But if amount is greater than Rs 50000 then he will investigate the
people.
If customer withdraw amount his relative’s account then they again investigate that
person. These are the important rule of the bank.
Fourth Week
5.4.3.9 Remittance
In the 4th week I learned about the remittance under supervisor of Mr. Waseem Toor. I
got the idea of remittance, in actual what is remittance? It is the important operation of
the bank. This is related to the internal work of Soneri bank. This department is controlled
by 1 person to maintain the remittance account of branch. There is following types of
working:
 BC (Banker cheque)
 ATM
 outward Bill Collection
 inward Bill Collection
 Intercity
5.4.3.9.1 Banker Cheque

The concept of BC is old, because the old name of this cheque is Demand Draft (DD),
Mostly people use this cheque for their business. This is basically use for transfer of
amount from one person account to the other person in different city.
Consider, a customer want to made the BC on the account for a particular city Islamabad.
After having the total amount to be deposited with application from banker’s cheque
issued in favor of the specified person in Islamabad and drawn on SBL Islamabad branch.
When the instrument is presented by payee in any bank, it continues the inward clearing
of SBL Islamabad.
If customer does not use cheque, then they use DD (demand draft). Deduction fix(Rs
150+FED 16%).
5.4.3.9.2 ATM’s
SBL provide the service of ATM to customers 24 hours. This is very each way of
transaction. You can withdraw your amount from ATM in anywhere. When you use own
Soneri bank ATM, then no kind of tax charge. But if you use other bank ATM then they
charge Rs 15 as tax. ATM has only currency of Rs 500 and Rs 1000. There are 2 types
of ATM cards.
Classic (maximum Rs 35000)
Golden (Rs 50000)
5.4.3.9.3 Outwards bills for collection

When an instruments is drawn on a bank which is situated outside the city, its profits can
be collected through a mechanism called outward bills for collected works (OBC)
All the cheques are received on one counter along with paying slip duly filled in properly
containing particular of cheques and account holder. Counter sheet of paying slip is
handed over to the customer by putting stamp for cheque received for collection for Soneri
bank on it duly signed by officer. These cheques are securitized and cheques for local
clearing are separated from OBC. Cheques are local clearing entered in clearing register
where number selected and crossing and support stamps are affixed on the cheque.
5.4.3.9.4 Inward bills for collection
If any other bank sends a cheque SBL it is inward bill collection (IBC) Soneri bank remits
money after examination the balance of the client account. The process of collection
starts when the cheques of SBL are received from other banks. Then these cheques send
to the head office Karachi, which sends the cheque SBP for clearing and gets the
information of cheque and credit advice. Main movement of clearing is performed by head
office which contracts other banks through SBP.
5.4.3.9.5 Intercity
It is an exchange for OBC, in which National organization of Facilitation Technologies
(NIFT) collects cheques from regional branch and receives payment from non-Soneri
Bank branch of other region, then reports back to the matching branch. It has less time
period of money transfer in the account but has higher bank charges then OBC. This for
example filling forms for OBC, Intercity and Banker’s Cheque and I also handled IBCs
and posted and decoded formulas from OBC and IBC.
Fifth Week
5.4.3.10 Import Export Department
In this week my duty was in trade department, where I learned about trading activities of

feel any kind of problem to asking any question about his operational working of this
department. He explains each and every thing with detail. This department is closely
relate with the foreign trade department it is growth of the foreign trade whatever bank
has to offer is carried out through the import export department.
Advance expenditure
Cash against papers

5.4.3.11 Overseas Trade

Especially this type of trade exists between two persons or more persons (exporter and
importer). It issue letter of credit (L/C) comprising of guarantees, issuance of documents
including airway bills, bills of lading, E-Forms, Exchange rates etc.
The basic reason of L/C is to issue kind of guarantee on behalf of an importer. Like if an
importer asks for a consignment for which he or she intends to give late or on credit than
clearly the exporters needs some sort of guarantee that the importer will really give back
his or her money as promised. Here the banks play their role.
The bank which opens the L/C is usually on importer’s end giving a guarantee to the
exporter’s bank that in case the importer fails to pay the payment in due time than the
opening bank will pay on his or her behalf for opening an L/C there are certain necessities
which the bank take care of These are:
 Sketch
 Invoices
 Bill of Lading
 Weight Note

He write the application and given to the manager. When application approved by
manager then they issue the form. This has four copies: original for custom, duplicate for
bank, triplicate for State Bank of Pakistan and last quadruplicate for customer.
5.4.3.12.1 Following steps are involved in from “E”
Firstly bank requested his customer to complete all the papers. After finishing the papers
send to custom for clearing, and receive customer clearing certificate. Then send the
consignment to port. Lastly bank will send all the documents to issuing bank.
Bank is not blame for any damage. 100% margin required for opening L/C. with passage
of if party developed understanding with bank. The bank would give some kind of
relaxation in cash margin.
5.4.3.13 Imports
There are some things which are needed in Imports. Import start with letter of credit.

and last 1 is insurance company.

the some crises but the main purpose of this bank to create a good relationship with
customers and also make them believe that this bank is good for them. This bank is
creating a good name in the local market and this all happens by employers and
employees of organization. They provide good services to their customers.
6.2 Observations of sector during internship
Today In our country, the scope of bank is high. Mostly student prefer the bank for a good
job. Bank system is important for the entire sector. Its operations are different from other
sectors. I study many things in bank during my internship; his operation, his duties, his
document, his forms all thing is different from others. According to my observation this is
best sector for job and also for internship. Recommendations
 Bank needs to improve operations and policies to compete in market and improve
picture in customer eyes.
 Maintain the branches wise expenditure can also help a lot to cover budget
deficiency.
 Marketing department of the SBL is not proper working. So they much invest in
marketing for enhancement.
 Good incentive should give to employees for their betterment.
 Explain proper code of corporate, ethics and culture for bank.
 Bonus should be given to employee according their performance.
 Cheque and stability over branch wise operations is little weaker, making it better
can solve certain harms, most outstandingly business efficiencies.
 The employees in the organization should be insured job security so that there is
no force on the employees while performing their tasks.
 The number of allowances and perquisites for the workers should be bigger to
ensure that they put their body and spirit in the jobs assigned to them.
 The present IT-bank system used by the bank is very slow in processing so my
point of view is that the bank should try to believe a quantity of other but more
efficient form of knowledge in order to give calm to the customers as well as the
workers.
 The Soneri Bank Limited should give credit services to the expensive customers
rather to give first choice to its clients who are businessmen in all branches in
Pakistan. By doing this, Soneri Bank Limited can also enhance its income.
After passing the time in the bank I have felt that one of the biggest weak points of Soneri bank
is its software called sonaware.net. It is because this software is newer version of the old software
called Sonaware. After implementation of this software there is often a break down resulting
because of the break in link. This breakage of link sort of paralyses the entire working making
long pauses in the accounts department, remittance department and so on.
Also there is a problem in the ATM network of the bank. During my internship I have seen
many times the broken down ATMs. Obviously it turns the customers away.
So in response to above stated problems and to some other restraints following are some
recommendation.
 Improvement of the Software: - As it has been mentioned many times before that
in this digital age software and I.T are becoming more important for day to day
activities. So if a more comprehensive and dynamic software is adopted it will
surely help to grasp the attention of quality seeking customers.
 Up gradation of the ATM network: - It is evident that ATM’s are the most crucial
and dynamic form of modern banking and now a days, a bank without offering the
facility of ATM is not going to stand in the stiff competition. So Soneri bank needs
to cater the needs of the customers and the ATM network needs to be improved.
 Increase in the number of branches both in rural and urban areas to cater the
needs of ever increasing no of potential clients: - More branches need to be
opened. Obviously suitability and other factors need to be considered but one can
never pluck the fruit out if not try for it. So unless more branches are not opened
more benefits cannot be obtained.
 Better and effective marketing: - I have felt that Soneri bank is not very much into
advertisement of its services and products. In this age of competition and mass
media advertisement it is hard for you to be prominent and distinguished. So
unless an effective marketing is not done people will fail to notice an organization
even exists.
 Focusing the banking not only to SME but on other potential areas as well: - It will
be favorable to extend the circle of services to more areas of serving. Because
mass production ideas also can be applied to the services sector as well.
Implications of Internship on my career

I think that internships are the preview of how crucial a professional working environment
is going to be. By doing internships one can form their perception and a mindset that how he or
she is going to adjust in the professional environment. Also internships are one of the ways to
show the employers that one can be a valuable asset for an organization.
I have felt during my six weeks of internship that it has helped me to be vigilant for what
awaits in the practical world. I have seen how things are carried out professionally. To be part of
a banking environment I have gained quite an insight of how important and crucial banking can
be. During the internship I was moved among all departments. This rotation has helped me a lot
to form an impression of how to prepare myself to work there if I am given an opportunity to a part
of them.
Also Internships give one sort of a guide line whether to set an organization as a career
path or not. By doing this internship I have formed my opinion that I can choose banking as a
prospective career. I can now stream line my intentions and efforts to be a part of a professional
banking environment.
Internships Are also away to self analyze one’s true potential and level of efforts one can
exert to work professionally. After spending six weeks in the internship, I think that I can opt
banking and I hope that I can also apply for the banking field. So self evaluation for my career has
been achieved by doing these six weeks internship.
Concluding the matters I hope that internships are quite grave in pointing out areas of
interests, areas of specialization and plucking ones true potential out for a job. I sincerely hope
that now my efforts will be more streamlined, organized and put together to apply for the banking
field and later in my career it can be beneficial to prepare myself for what awaits in the professional
and practical world.
