The topic of my study is Analysis of General Banking Activities of Pubali Bank Limited : A
Case Study on Ishurdi Branch. The general objective of this study is to fulfill the requirement of
BBA program contains three-month internship. The specific objectives are to have an overview
on General banking activities of PBL, Ishurdi Branch. This study is mainly based on primary
data. In addition the other necessary information has been collected from annual report, relevant
journals, Bangladesh bank & from various website etc.
This report comprises of Five Parts-In consisting chapter one includes introduction of the study,
objective of study time schedule, scope & limitations of the study. In order to understand the
banks on which the report is carried on. In chapter two overview of Pubali Bank Limited, which
includes financial highlights, number of branches, number of employees and mission of the bank,
SWOT of Pubali Bank Limited. In consisting the chapter three of this report, it has been
discussed the overall concept of banking, types of bank, contribution of banking sector in
Bangladesh, CAMELS rating system, cheque & different types of cheques etc. In consisting the
chapter four of this report, it has been discussed about general banking activities of Pubali Bank
Limited (Ishurdi Branch), Such as A/C opening procedure, deposits, cheque issuing procedure,
clearing department, & last two months accounts and deposits position of Ishurdi Branch etc.
After that finishing my analysis part work I have found some problems which were placed to
major findings. Finally in the Fifth and Last chapter of this report I have drawn some
recommendation on basic of Findings & conclude my report.
Some major findings of this study are issuing cheque book, Pay order, Bank draft is a lengthy
process Job responsibilities are not specified to each and every employee of this division,
According to some clients, introducer is one of the problems to open an account. If a person who
is new in the Dhaka city wants to open account, it is a problem for him/her to arrange an
introducer of SB or CD account holder. ATM booth service is an online popular service. The
bank’s online service is very poor. Advertising and promotion are the weak points of Pubali
Bank Limited.
PBL does not have any effective marketing activities. Some customers are not interested or
unable to write DD, check, PO voucher etc. Pubali Bank Limited banking strategy is not
arranged in such way that provides excellent service to its customer and employees. There are
some congested branches where modern technical equipments and manpower are not sufficient.
As a result, banking services are not provided efficiently.
At last of my research report I have mentioned some recommendation based on my findings are
the account officer have to collect proper & complete information before opening any kind of
account, need to provide sufficient number of employees in Ishurdi Branch, needed faster
internet service etc. I conclude my recommendation to the management to overcome the
limitation of bank. The authority of the bank should introduce job training for the employees to
make the human resource efficient. The authority of the bank should upgrade the existing
marketing strategy to come to more close to the people. The authority of the bank should
introduce different credit cards. Also, they have to concentrate to establish more ATM booths for
their customers. They have no marketing department at all, which create problems in advertising.
So the authority of the bank should establish a standard marketing department in the bank.
Proper banking software should be used to get best benefit from this department. Staff meetings
and departmental meetings at the branch level must be increased to develop service quality. The
bank should take an aggressive advertisement campaign to develop a strong image and
reputation in the minds of the potential customers.

Introduction
A commercial bank collects and manages deposits. It provides Cheque facilities and interests for
its customer deposits which may be either demand or time deposits of different maturity.
A commercial bank extends credit to a great variety of borrowers through loans as well as by
purchasing securities that are either fully or partly financed by commercial banks.
Commercial banks provide a variety of other services to their customers as for example
remittance facilities, credit information about customers, financial advice, collection of debts and
dues etc.
Banks also provide a number of trust services to their customers. These services may either
corporate trust services, which arise in connection with the issue of bonds; personal trust services
under which they manage property on behave of their clients or corporate pension funds that
provide retirement benefit for their employees.

Source-Self Created
The present study was not out of limitations. But as an internee it was a great opportunity for me
to know the banking activities in Bangladesh - especially of Pubali Bank. Some constraints are
appended bellow :
Adequate and in-depth well-organized information is not available for access. Though the
officials tried to assist, sometimes their working pressure couldn't give me proper assistance
what I needed. There is some information which need special permission from top level is not
always achievable.
Time Constraint
It is something like impossible to cover the entire Overall Banking Performance and
performance phenomena exploiting a three month time period while an employee or an officer is
awarded with one or two year probationary period to do his or her particular job.
Secrecy of Information
Some of the information needed to explore the current marker scenario of the company was not
disclosed.
Comparison Status
I have had no opportunity to compare the foreign exchange banking system of the Pubali Bank
with that of other contemporary and common size banks. I had compared the banks that
information is available. It was mainly because of the shortage of time and internship nature.
Lack of Experience
Though I have prepared many reports before, I had no experience of internship. So inexperience
is one of the main constraints of the bank.

Chapter-Three
Conceptual Framework
3.1 Bank
A bank is a financial institution that creates credit by lending money to a borrower, thereby
creating a corresponding deposit on the bank's balance sheet. Lending activities can be
performed either directly or indirectly through capital markets. Due to their importance in the
financial system and influence on national economies, banks are highly regulated in most
countries. Most nations have institutionalized a system known as fractional reserve banking
under which banks hold liquid assets equal to only a portion of their current liabilities. In
addition to other regulations intended to ensure liquidity, banks are generally subject to
minimum capital requirements based on an international set of capital standards, known as the
Basel Accords.
Banking in its modern sense evolved in the 14th century in the rich cities of Renaissance Italy
but in many ways was a continuation of ideas and concepts of credit and lending that had their
roots in the ancient world. In the history of banking, a number of banking dynasties have played
a central role over many centuries. Other way : “what is bank?” The answer to the questing
might seem quite simple in reality; however, the answer is rather complicated, a bank offers
various type of deposits account including the saving account to its customers and makes a
variety of loans. It might argue then that a bank is an organization.
The business of banking is in many English common law countries not defined by statute but by
common law, the definition above. In other English common law jurisdictions there are statutory
definitions of the business of banking or banking business. When looking at these definitions it is
important to keep in minds that they are defining the business of banking for the purposes of the
legislation, and not necessarily in general. In particular, most of the definitions are from
legislation that has the purpose of regulating and supervising banks rather than regulating the
actual business of banking. However, in many cases the statutory definition closely mirrors the
common law one. Examples of statutory definitions :
"banking business" means the business of receiving money on current or deposit account, paying
and collecting Cheques drawn by or paid in by customers, the making of advances to customers,
and includes such other business as the Authority may prescribe for the purposes of this Act;
(Banking Act (Singapore), Section 2, Interpretation).
"Banking business" means the business of either or both of the following :
1. receiving from the general public money on current, deposit, savings or other similar account
repayable on demand or within less than [3 months] ... or with a period of call or notice of less
than that period;
2. Paying or collecting checks drawn by or paid in by customers.
Since the advent of EFTPOS (Electronic Funds Transfer at Point Of Sale), direct credit, direct
debit and internet banking, the Cheque has lost its primacy in most banking systems as a
payment instrument. This has led legal theorists to suggest that the Cheque based definition
should be broadened to include financial institutions that conduct current accounts for customers
and enable customers to pay and be paid by third parties, even if they do not pay and collect
check.
3.2 Banking
In simple words, we can say that Bank is a financial institution that undertakes the banking
activity i.e. accepts deposits and then lends the same to earn certain profit.
The banking industry can be divided into following sectors, based on the clientele served and
products and services offered :
1. Retail Banks
2. Commercial banks
3. Cooperative banks
4. Investment Banks
5. Specialized banks
6. Central banks- Learn more at www.technofunc.com. Your online source for free professional
tutorials.
Retail Banks
Retail banks provide basic banking services to individual consumers. Examples include savings
banks, savings and loan associations, and recurring and fixed deposits. Products and services
include safe deposit boxes, checking and savings accounting, certificates of deposit (CDS),
mortgages, personal, consumer and car loan.
Commercial Banks
Banking means accepting deposits of money from the public for the purpose of lending or
investment. Commercial Banks provide financial services to businesses, including credit and
debit cards, bank accounts, deposits and loans, and secured and unsecured loans. Due to
deregulation, commercial banks are also competing more with investment banks in money
market operations, bond underwriting, and financial advisory work. Commercial banks in
modern capitalist societies act as financial intermediaries, raising funds from depositors and
lending the same funds to borrowers. The depositors’ claims against the bank, their deposits, are
liquid, meaning banks are expected to redeem deposits on demand, instantly.
Banks’ claims against their borrowers are much less liquid, giving borrowers a much longer span
of time to repay money owed banks. Because a bank cannot immediately reclaim money lent to
borrowers, it may face bankruptcy if all its depositors show up on a given day to withdraw all
their money.
There are two types of commercial banks, public sector and private sector banks.
Investment Banks
An investment bank is a financial institution that assists individuals, corporations and
governments in raising capital by underwriting and/or acting as the client's agent in the issuance
of securities. An investment bank may also assist companies involved in mergers and
acquisitions, and provide ancillary services such as market making, trading of derivatives, fixed
income instruments, foreign exchange, commodities, and equity securities.
Investment banks and companies in acquiring funds and they provide advice for a wide range of
transactions. These banks also offer financial consulting services to companies and give advice
on mergers and acquisitions and management of public assets.
Cooperative Banks
Cooperative Banks are governed by the provisions of State Cooperative Societies Act and meant
essentially for providing cheap credit to their members. It is an important source of rural credit
i.e., agricultural financing in India.
Specialized Banks
Specialized banks are foreign exchange banks, industrial banks, development banks, export-
import banks catering to specific needs of these unique activities. These banks provide financial
aid to industries, heavy turnkey projects and foreign trade.
Central Banks
Central banks are bankers’ banks, and these banks trace their history from the Bank of England.
They guarantee stable monetary and financial policy from country to country and play an
important role in the economy of the country. Typical functions include implementing monetary
policy, managing foreign exchange and gold reserves, making decisions regarding official
interest rates, acting as banker to the government and other banks, and regulating and supervising
the banking industry.
These banks buy government debt, have a monopoly on the issuance of paper money, and often
act as a lender of last resort to commercial banks. The term bank nowadays refers to these
commercial banks. The Central bank of any country supervises controls and regulates the
activities of all the commercial banks of that country. It also acts as a government banker. It
controls and coordinates currency and credit policies of any country. The Reserve Bank of India
is the central bank of India.
3.4 Banking in Bangladesh
These banks control the principles and policies of other banks across the country. This bank
share managed and run by the government. This bank provides benchmarks which other banks
should follow. Co operative banks : co operative banks as the name suggests gets money from
the general Denationalization and private industrial growth led the Bangladesh Bank and the
World Bank to focus their lending on the emerging private manufacturing sector. Scheduled
bank advances to private agriculture, as a percentage of sects oral GDP, rose from 2 percent in
FY 1979 to 11 percent in FY 1987, while advances to private manufacturing rose from 13
percent to 53 percent. The transformation of finance priorities has brought with it problems in
administration. No sound project-appraisal system was in place to identify viable borrowers and
projects. Lending institutions did not have adequate autonomy to choose borrowers and projects
and were often instructed by the political authorities. In addition, the incentive system for the
banks stressed disbursements rather than recoveries, and the accounting and debt collection
systems were inadequate to deal with the problems of loan recovery. It became more common
for borrowers to default on loans than to repay them; the lending system was simply disbursing
grant assistance to private individuals who qualified for loans more for political than for
economic reasons. The rate of recovery on agricultural loans was only 27 percent in FY 1986,
and the rate on industrial loans was even worse. As a result of this poor showing, major donors
applied pressure to induce the government and banks to take firmer action to strengthen internal
bank management and credit discipline. As a consequence, recovery rates began to improve in
1987. The National Commission on Money, Credit, and Banking recommended broad structural
changes in Bangladesh’s system of financial intermediation early in 1987, many of which were
built into a three-year compensatory financing facility signed by Bangladesh with the IMF in
February 1987. One major exception to the management problems of Bangladeshi banks was the
Grameen Bank, begun as a government project in 1976 and established in 1983 as an
independent bank. In the late 1980s, the bank continued to provide financial resources to the
poor on reasonable terms and to generate productive self-employment without external
assistance. Its customers were landless persons who took small loans for all types of economic
activities, including housing. About 70 percent of the borrowers were women, who were
otherwise not much represented in institutional finance. Collective rural enterprises also could
borrow from the Grameen Bank for investments in tube wells, rice and oil mills, and power
looms and for leasing land for joint cultivation. The average loan by the Grameen Bank in the
mid-1980s was around Tk 2,000 (US$65), and the maximum was just Tk18, 000 (for
construction of a tin-roof house). Repayment terms were 4 percent for rural housing and 8.5
percent for normal lending operations. The Grameen Bank extended collateral-free loans to
200,000 landless people in its first 10 years. Most of its customers had never dealt with formal
lending institutions before. The most remarkable accomplishment was the phenomenal recovery
rate. Hamid the prevailing pattern of bad debts throughout the Bangladeshi banking system, only
4 percent of Grameen Bank loans were overdue. The bank had from the outset applied a
specialized system of intensive credit supervision that set it apart from others. Its success, though
still on a rather small scale, provided hope that it could continue to grow and that it could be
replicated or adapted to other development-related priorities. The Grameen Bank was expanding
rapidly, planning to have 500 branches throughout the country by the late 1980s. Beginning in
late 1985, the government pursued a tight monetary policy aimed at limiting the growth of
domestic private credit and government borrowing from the banking system. The policy was
largely successful in reducing the growth of the money supply and total domestic credit. Net
credit to the government actually declined in FY 1986. The problem of credit recovery remained
a threat to monetary stability, responsible for serious resource misallocation and harsh inequities.
Although the government had begun effective measures to improve financial discipline, the
draconian contraction of credit availability contained the risk of inadvertently discouraging new
economic activity. Foreign exchange reserves at the end of FY 1986 were US$476 million,
equivalent to slightly more than 2 months worth of imports. This represented a 20-percent
increase of reserves over the previous year, largely the result of higher remittances by
Bangladeshi workers abroad. The country also reduced imports by about 10 percent to US$2.4
billion. Because of Bangladesh’s status as a least developed country receiving concession loans,
private creditors accounted for only about 6 percent of outstanding public debt. The external
public debt was US$6.4 billion, and annual debt service payments were US$467 million at the
end of FY 1986.
3.5 Clearing House
A clearing house is an agency or separate corporation of a futures exchange responsible for
settling trading accounts, clearing trades, collecting and maintaining margin monies, regulating
delivery and reporting trading data. Clearing houses act as third parties to all futures and options
contracts - as a buyer to every clearing member seller and a seller to every clearing member
buyer. Each futures exchange has its own clearing house. All members of an exchange are
required to clear their trades through the clearing house at the end of each trading session and to
deposit with the clearing house a sum of money (based on clearinghouse margin requirements)
sufficient to cover the member's debt balance. For example, if a member broker reports to the
clearing house at the end of the day total purchase of 100,000 bushels of May wheat and total
sales of 50,000 bushels of May wheat, he would be net long 50,000 bushels of May wheat.
Assuming that this is the broker's only position in futures and that the clearing house margin is
six cents per bushel, this would mean the broker would be required to have $3,000 on deposit
with the clearing house. Because all members are required to clear their trades through the
clearing house and must maintain sufficient funds to cover their debit balances, the clearing
house is responsible to all members for the fulfillment of the contracts.
3.6 Camels Rating System
The CAMELS rating system is an international bank-rating system where bank supervisory
authorities rate institutions according to six factors.
The six factors are represented by the acronym "CAMELS."
C-Capital adequacy
A-Asset quality
M - Management quality
E-Earnings
L – Liquidity
S - Sensitivity to Market Risk
Bank supervisory authorities assign each bank a score on a scale of one (best) to five (worst) for
each factor. If a bank has an average score less than two it is considered to be a high-quality
institution, while banks with scores greater than three are considered to be less-than-satisfactory
establishments. The system helps the supervisory authority identify banks that are in need of
attention.
3.7 Cheque
A Cheque is a written order directing a bank to pay out money, and it's exactly the same thing as
a check, but with more exciting letters.
The American English word for the slip of paper that authorizes your bank to make a payment is
check, which is the adjusted spelling of the British English Cheque. That word comes from ex
Chequer which is like a bank, and so a Cheque is a note that has the seal of the bank : an official
piece of paper. Cheque can be used as a verb meaning "withdraw."The drawer writers the various
details including the monetary amount, data, and a payee on the Cheque, and signs it, ordering
their bank, known as the draw, to pay that person or company the amount of money.

4.7 Remittance Department
Remittance is used to transfer of funds denominated in Bangladeshi Taka between banks within
the country. It is an order from the Issuing branch to the Drawee Bank/Branch responsible for
payment of a certain sum of money to the beneficiary. The payment instruction is sent by
Telex/Telegram and funds are paid to the beneficiary through his account maintained with the
Drawee branch or through a pay order if no a/c is maintained with the drawee branch.
The cash department does remittance of cash. Instruments of local remittances at PBL branches
are follows :
Source-Self Created
Procedure of Issuing TT
Source-Self Created
Source-Self Created
Graph Analysis : Each branch maintains a running control serial number of their own for
issuance of DD to each Drawee Branch. This control serial number should be introduced at the
beginning or each year which will continue till the end of the year.
4.7.3 Pay Order
Pay order is a negotiable instrument made by the bank, on account of a customer, to pay on order
the specified amount to the directed person (payee).
Inward Clearing
When the checks of its customer are received for collection from other banks, the following
should be checked very carefully-
a) The check must be crossed.
b) The check should not carry a date older then the receiving date for more than 6 months.
c) The collecting bank must check whether endorsement is done properly or not.
d) The amount both in words and figures in deposit slip should be same and also it should be in
conformity with the amount mentioned in words and figures in the checks.
a. Account opening form is very much informative. It takes about half an hour to properly fill in
the form. When four or five people come at the same time for account opening purpose, it is very
difficult for the relevant officer to provide satisfied service to the client.
b. According to some clients, introducer is one of the problems to open an account. If a person
who is new in the Dhaka city wants to open account, it is a problem for him/her to arrange an
introducer of SB or CD account holder.
c. Lengthy process of issuing Cheque book, Pay order, Bank draft. Job responsibilities are not
specified to each and every employee of this division.
d. ATM booth service is an online popular service. The bank’s online service is very poor.
e. Technology that PBL is using for their banking system is not up to date. There are some
international and local banks in Bangladesh; they are very fast and very much updated. PBL is
losing their clients because of lack of technology.
f. Advertising and promotion are the weak points of Pubali Bank Limited. PBL does not have
any effective marketing activities.
g. Some customers are not interested or unable to write DD, check, PO voucher etc.
h. Pubali Bank Limited banking strategy is not arranged in such way that provides excellent
service to its customer and employees.
i. There are some congested branches where modern technical equipments and manpower are not
sufficient. As a result, banking services are not provided efficiently.
My Observation
Pubali Bank Ishurdi Branch of should evaluated for a better working plan due to its environment
and employees. During my 3 month internship program I really enjoyed a healthy and worm
atmosphere there but there was short-coming too.
5.1 Recommendations
In view of the facts, the following recommendations are made to the respective concerned for
their consideration and implementation:
a. The authority of the bank should introduce job training for the employees to make the human
resource efficient.
b. If a new client wants to open account then arrange a SB or CD account holder. But the client if
difficult to arrange an introducer of account holder then the banker should arrange a account
holder or attested with own account number.
c. The authority of the bank
Conclusion:
