EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Now a days strong and efficient capital and financial institutions are the basic requirements of each county. So no country can be considered strong without having strong enough capital and financial institutions and markets. One of the components of these financial institutions are the banks. No one can deny the role the banks are playing in the economic development of a country.
In Pakistans banking sector, UBL is one of the leading commercial banks. Very renowned bankers such as I.I. Chundrigar and Agah Hassan Abidi established UBL in 1959. From the very beginning, UBL was showing very good performance but in 1974 after the nationalization of commercial banks, the bank has received some very severe financial shocks. The shocks received in 1995 were so severe that SBP had to assume the control of the bank in order to save it from bankruptcy. But after taking over the management of the UBL by the new set-up under the leadership of Zubyr Soomro, the bank was successful in rebuilding its shattered image. The new management started new schemes and injected new concepts in order to improve its services to the clients. Now the bank is in very good financial position and also has gained its lost Goodwill. My two months internship in UBL TAKHT BHAI branch gave me a very good deal of the practical experience about the bank, its personnel and various services it offers to the clients. Although two months duration for studying such a large organization by no means is enough but I have tried my ever best to cover all the areas of the bank in my report. I have divided my report in ten chapters. Chapter # 1 is about the introduction of the report. In this chapter it is discussed that how the internship is important and what a student can learn from it. Light is also thrown on the way in which the research has been conducted. Chapter # 2 of my report is about the importance of banking. This chapter contains detailed information that what role the banks play in the economic development of a country.

Chapter # 3 is about the Evaluation of banking. In this chapter the bank is defined. Growth of the banking globally as well as in Pakistan is pointed here. Chapter # 4 is about the historical background of UBL. The circumstances in which UBL was established and its growth are discussed here. This chapter also gives the information about various services offered by the UBL. Chapter # 5 of my report is about the organizational structure of UBL. Hierarchy of staff and various positions of seniority are shown and discussed through a Chart. Chapter # 6 covers various departments of UBL. Each department is separately given due consideration. Various functions performed by different departments are highlighted. Chapter # 7 of the report throws light on various financial products UBL offers to its customers. Chapter # 8 of the report consists of analysis. Financial statements are analyzed horizontally and vertically. Also the performance of the bank has been shown through ratio analysis and trend analysis. Chapter # 9 includes SWOT analysis of UBL and conclusion based on SWOT analysis.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
For getting the master degree in business administration, each student is required to spend at least two months as an internee in a recognized organization. The students are required to work in their own field in which they have done their specialization. Main purpose of this program is to make students familiar with the practical work, as there is great difference between what they have learnt during their MBA and how the job is practically done. Another important aspect of the internship program is that internee is placed in most of the departments of the organization through job rotation. It provides a glance of each department, as the period is too short for learning in detail.

Introduction
one can deny the importance of banking in the economy. They facilitate and expedite trade and commerce and provide a variety of services that one cant imagine with out banks. I have chosen the United Bank Limited Takht Bhai branch for my internship because it has all the departments a bank could have. Besides this, UBL plays an important role in the economic development of Pakistan.
The sources of secondary data were; 1. 2. 3. Annual reports Over view of the UBL Relevant books.
During the research project, I observed that enough written material regarding the Bank is not available, so I had count on my personal observation and interviews with directors.

EVOLUTION OF BANKING
It has not so far been expressly decided as to how the word Bank originated. Some authors opine that this word is derived from the words Bancus or Banque that mean a bench. The explanation of this origin is attributed to the fact that the Jews in Lombard transacted the business of money exchange on benches in the market place, and when the business failed, the Banco was destroyed by the people. Incidentally the word bankrupt is said to have been evolved from this practice. The opponents of this opinion argue that if it was so, then how is it that the Italian moneychangers were never called Banchierei in the middle ages? Other authorities hold the opinion that the word Bank is derived from the German word Back which means joint stock fund. Later on, when the Germans occupied major part of Italy, the word Back was Italianized into Bank. It is therefore, not possible to decide as to which of the opinions is correct, for no record is available to ascertain the validity of any of the opinion1.

Evolution of Banking
King Hammurabi (1728-1686 B.C.) the founder of the Babylonian empire drew up a code wherein he laid down standard rules of procedure for banking operations by temples and great landowners. It is not certain as to who invented money; but history records that Gyges, king of Lydia cast electrum (a natural alloy of gold and silver) ingots of identical shape and of uniform weight with a triple emblem engraved on it as an official guarantee of value in 687 BC. Also in Greece, the temples of Epheusus and Delphi were the biggest Banks of their time, where the people deposited their money and other valuables for safety and security, and were also the first-acted financial agents. After some time, Aristotles dictum that Charging of interest is un-natural and immoral became very popular, but the following periods growing necessity forced the acceptance of the principle of interest in lending and borrowing. The Romans, though they did not organize state banking, nevertheless regulated the conduct of private banks in such a way that extreme confidence of the people was created with the Revival of civilization (Renaissance) in the middle of the twelfth century. Trade and commerce started expanding, and this development compelled the business community to borrow money from the Hebrew money- lenders on high rates of interest and usury. Seeing the great demand, these moneylenders started organizing themselves, and banks started coming up at the principal seaports in southern Europe. Soon Venice and Genoa became the most important money markets of the time; and banking, though different from its present form, flourished. What we know now as modern banking originated in the 14th century in Barcelona. In 1401 A D a German Public bank was formed comprising the operations of discounting deposit and transferring of money. By the 16th century, some more public banks were formed in Venice, Milan, Amsterdam, Hamburg and

Nuremberg. Similarly in 1690, the Bank of Hamburg came into existence in Hamburg with the business of accepting deposits of fine silver or of foreign moneys and to run accounts on these deposits. This bank rendered great service to the merchants as well as the countries it dealt with until 1873, when it was merged with the Reich Bank2.

Evolution of Banking
Over period of time, these goldsmiths discovered that large sums of money were left in their custody for long periods, therefore, they started the use of this cash to advance loans to other persons for a fixed period of time and at a considerably high rate of interest. Moreover, they further encouraged cash deposits by their customers by offering them a part of the profits earned on the money. Thus began the issue and deposit banking of modern times. Some of the enterprising goldsmiths issued checkbooks for the attraction of their customers, and thus another important step in the evolution of banking was taken. In 1672, however, English banking faced a great crisis when Charles- II borrowed huge sums of money from the goldsmiths and later refused to pay them back. Therefore, a number of goldsmith- bankers formed themselves into a corporation in 1695, known as the Bank of England. This bank lent 1,200,000 pounds at 8% interest to William- III, who in return, allowed a number of privileges to the bank, specially the right to issue notes payable to bearer on demand up to the amount of this loan. This was known as fiduciary issue, not covered by gold. By the year 1700, the Bank of England was not only issuing notes but was also conducting accounts for customers. Being a joint stock bank by charter, its directors were conducting the business like that of limited companies. In 1854 the joint stock companies Act opened an era of corporation/ and the limited liability Act 1855, restricted the liability of shareholders of a limited company to the amount of the successfully paid- up value of the shares held by them. In the succeeding years, joint stock banks became very common either by absorption of private banks or amalgamation amongst joint stock banks themselves. Thus in 1918 came into being eleven clearing Banks of today. In 1946, the Labor Government nationalized the Bank of England and transferred the existing stock to the nominee of the British treasury, and 8

empowered the crown to appoint its Governors, deputy Governors and Directors. The other shareholders of the bank were given in exchange, three percent long term Government stock, thus keeping the holders content and happy, as they were getting the same return as before. In 1955 the British banks made a departure from traditional banking by undertaking hire- purchase finance for companies buying industrial plants and machinery, and took interest on hire-purchase finance. The percentage of interest was so high that a number of companies became subsidiaries of the lending banks3.

The committee recommended that the Reserve Bank of India should continue to function in Pakistan until 30th September 1948, so that the problem of time and demand liability, homage, currencies, exchange etc. be settled between India and Pakistan. It was also decided that Pakistan would take over the management of public debt and exchange control from Reserve Bank of India on Ist April 1948, and that Indian notes would continue to be legal tender in Pakistan till 30th September 1948. The Hindus residing in the territories now comprising Pakistan started transferring their assets to India after the partition of sub- continent and the banks also followed the same move in order to push the new state into chaos. By 30th June 1948, the number of offices of scheduled banks in Pakistan declined from 487 to only 195. At this time there were 19 foreign banks with the status of small branch offices and only two Pakistani institutions i.e. Habib Bank, and the Australasia Bank. To rebuild the confidence of the people in these banks, the then Government promulgated the banking companies ordinance, 19474. Pakistan was further pushed into trouble when the imperial bank of India closed down most of its offices in Pakistan and rejected to accept the token amount of Government of Pakistan securities. Such circumstances necessitated the control and management of banking and currencies in Pakistan. Government of Pakistan inaugurated the State Bank of Pakistan on July 1,1948, after the State Bank of Pakistan order was promulgated on May 12,1948. In order to bring the situation under control As the central bank of the country. The state Bank of Pakistan addressed itself with the equally urgent task of creating and developing the Baking system of the country. To achieve this goal, it provided every help and encouragement to Habib Bank to expand its network of branches and also recommended to Government, the

establishment of a new bank which could serve as an agent of the State Bank of Pakistan in areas where State Bank branches are not present. As a result, the National Bank of Pakistan came into being in 1940 and by 1952 it became strong enough to take over the agency functions from the Imperial Bank of India. In order to develop sound banking and weed out weak institutions, the Banking companies (control) Act was promulgated in 1949, empowering the State Bank to control the operations of banking companies in Pakistan. Further The State Bank of Pakistan limited the opening of new branches by foreign banks in coastal towns or in big cities from where trade was being carried out with foreign countries, while Pakistani banks were encouraged to open as many branches as possible within the country5. In order to broaden the scope of banking system in Pakistan, The State Bank of Pakistan also helped in the establishment of specialized credit institutions in the fields of agriculture and industry. At the end of June 1958, the number of branches of Pakistani banks increased from 195 to 307 and, the number of scheduled banks increased to 36 by June 1965. The following figures reflect the rapid development of banking system in Pakistan from 1948 to 1993. 1948 Bank Deposit Bank Credit 880m 200m 1993 290,000m 21,000m 7,100 % increase 32854 10500 8665
During the five years from 1960 to 1965, the number of scheduled bank branches rose form 430 at the end of June 1960, to 1591in June 1965. Two new banks were formed i.e. Commerce Bank and Standard Bank. A dramatic change in Pakistani banking system took place when in 1974 the Government

Evolution of Banking
of Pakistan nationalized all commercial banks incorporated in Pakistan. There were 22 scheduled banks with 3525 branches at the end of December 1973. The nationalization of banks in Pakistan has brought a new era of development and growth. It has taken a completely new turn with the induction of interest free Banking system in January 1981.With the passage of time, the Government of Pakistan realized that the national economy was being dominated by public sector, areas such as production, trade and finance were over regulated. This resulted not only in chronic budget deficit, leaving not much for physical and social infrastructure but also led to developing such conditions which could not be changed without the privatization of the nationalized and public sector. Therefore in order to meet the need of the time, the Government of Pakistan introduced comprehensive economic reforms aimed at deregulation of trade, commerce, industry, banking and finance, so that the role of the public sector in industrial and commercial activities is reduced and social sector activities are increased. In order to deregulate the financial sector under these reforms, a program of privatization of public sector banking and financial institution was started and various governing laws were amended in 1990 in which strict criteria for selection of good entrepreneurs as investors was also drawn. Besides these undertakings, private sector was not only invited but also encouraged to set up commercial banks and financial institutions in Pakistan. As a result, a number of banks Modaraba and Leasing companies came into existence and are now actively operating in private sector. It is hoped that this polish of liberalization and privatization of financial institutions will make way for the economic development and professional efficiency in Pakistan.

Commercial banks play a role of vital importance in the economic growth of a country. Banks mobilize idle savings of public and provide finance to various sectors of economy. In spite of vital importance, there was shortage of branches of commercial banks in the areas of sub-continents, which now constitute Pakistan. When Pakistan got independence, there were only 487 branches of commercial banks, which were further reduced to 195 as at 30/09/47 due to shifting of a number of branches to India or U.K. The Reserve Bank of India, which was made responsible to exercise control over banking sector in both the dominions, did not perform its duties properly in Pakistan. The State Bank of Pakistan was established on 01/07/1948. After the establishment of State Bank of Pakistan, banking expansion got momentum but real progress was not achieved until 1959, when a dynamic banker Mr. Agha Hassan Abedi conceived the idea of opening a bank different from others. His dream was translated into reality on November 07/1959 when first branch of UBL was opened at Macleod Road Karachi (now known as I.I. Chundrigar Road). This achievement was secured after passing through many problems and after completion of a lot of legal formalities. UBL was established on 24-07-59 as a public limited company with registered office at I.I. Chandrigar road Karachi. The authorized capital was RS. 20,000,000 issued, subscribed and paid up capital was. RS. 10,000,000 divided into 1,000,000 shares of RS. 10each.

b) Telegraphic Transfer This type of transfer is simple. After filling the application form, the concerned officer fills the telegraphic form. This telegram is sent to the required bank. Which on receiving it immediately makes the payment to the customer and afterwards the vouchers are sent to the bank by ordinary mail. c) Demand Draft. DD is just a check and is issued when the customer wants to take the draft personally. The idea behind it is that as the cash is not safe to be kept along and a check in the shape of a draft is safer and one can easily get cash by presenting it in the bank, on whose favor it has been made. Draft is only issued when the customer is known to the bank and the bank has the confidence that the customer will not do anything wrong with the draft. For the preparation of a draft, first of all customer has to fill an application form, then the concerned officer fills the following before delivering the draft to the customer. The forms filled for this purpose are as follows; Demand draft register Credit vouchers

account in order to have ready command over money. No interest is given on current deposits, because it is subject to transfer or cashing by check at sight. The bank charges commission on the account, which is called bank charges. b) Saving Deposits This deposit refers to the deposits, which are kept to meet the customer and unexpected outlay or to safeguard financial respectability. The bank undertakes to repay the money on demand up to a certain limit fixed by the rules of the bank. The bank pays interest to the customers on saving deposits. The customer has to give a notice to the bank about two weeks in advance for withdrawal of large amounts. c) Fixed Deposits Fixed deposits are those, which are repayable only after the expiry of the stipulated period i.e. from three months up to sixty months. The rate of interest depends upon the length of the period. The rate of interest on fixed deposits is higher than saving account, because the bank can safely utilize these deposits for a certain period. Customer is allowed to borrow the required amount, which should not exceed his fixed deposit. The bank charges one or two percent higher rate of interest than the profit allowed to him at his fixed deposit. The bank issues a receipt against the fixed disposition stating the amount and the time of expiry to the customer. There is no paying book or passbook or checkbook issued to the depositor.
d) Call Deposits It is a type of bank guarantee on behalf of the depositor given at call. In this case, Security Deposit Receipt (SDR) is issued by the bank at the instructions of the depositor, confirming that amount of the SDR is held by the bank, to be paid whenever called upon to do so by the beneficiary named in the SDR.

a) By Cash Credit: In this form of lending, the bank lends money to the borrower against a tangible security. The total amount of the loan, which is given, is not paid in one installment. The borrower has to pay interest on the amount borrowed. Cash credit is the favorite loan for large commercial and industrial concerns, on account that the customers need not to borrow at once the whole amount he is likely to require, but can draw such amount as and when required. Cash credit is obtained either by Hypothecation or Pledge. Peculiarities of Hypothecation 1) Custody of the stock remains with the customer. 2) Bank lien on the stock. 3) Stock hypothecated must be insured against fire etc. 4) Customer/ party must submit the stock record on monthly basis. 5) Frequent stock verification may be made by UBL 6) Bank may sent officers or staff for surprise verification. Peculiarities of Pledge 1. Stock/ Goods are pledged with bank under lock and key. 2. Goods/ stock must be duly insured against fire and burglary. 3. On monthly basis stock report has to be prepared by borrowers/ UBL. 4. Delivery of goods is made against cash payment. b) By Discounting Bills of Exchange: It is another method of advancing loans to borrowers. The holder of bills is paid an amount equal to the face value of the bill after deducting interest at the

market rate for the period the bill has to mature. Interest in this type of loan can be charged as running finance and demand finance. C) By Over Drafting: This facility is given to regular, reliable and well- established customers. The bank charges interest on the extra money, which the borrower takes. When a customer requires temporary accommodation, he may be allowed to overdraw his current account usually against collateral security. From the customers point of view this agreement like cash credit is advantageous, as he is required to pay interest on the amount actually used by him. There can be temporary, secured and clear overdraft.

payments is the foreign exchange from the exporter and others who have it for sale and sell foreign currency to importers and others who need it in their own countries. A transfer from a bank account in the debtors country to the creditors country affects the international payments. Two branches of the same bank or of different banks involve in foreign remittance. One is called remitting branch or bank and the other is called receiving branch or bank. In foreign currency, SBP has given general permission to authorized dealers in foreign exchange including UBL to affect remittances for specific purposes without referring it to (SBP) for approval i.e. remittance on account of education subscription, books and periodical of technical nature.

UBL gives running finance demand facility to customer when an account holder applies for loan on the basis of foreign currency account. UBL will keep an eye on his deposits or as per the sanction of competent authority will allow advance to the customer. IMPORT EXPORT AND L/C As import and export business is very risky. The importers want the surety of goods to be delivered to his prescribed destination while exporter wants surety of the money to be reached to his prescribed bank. So, with a view to
38
Chapter-6
Departmentation
overcome such difficulties a system of L /C is designed and its operation is controlled under the Article of the Uniform Customs And Practices for documentary credits as adopted by The Council Of International Chamber Of Commerce and enforced with effect from Jan 1983. Different banks are involved in foreign exchange transaction of export and import. A) Issuing Bank It is that bank which opens letter of credit and sends it from where import is to be made. Issuing bank may send L/C to one of its branches or some agents or any other bank of the country. B) Advising Bank It receives the letter of credit send by the branch of issuing bank or recognized agent in this connection. Advising bank advises the exporter about L/C so received. C) Negotiating Bank Negotiating bank is that bank which conducts negotiation from exporters side. It may or may not be advising bank. The documents are negotiated as per the terms of L/C D) Reimbursing Bank This is the bank, which reimburses the payment to the negotiating bank. It may be a special bank or issuing bank. LETTER OF CREDIT A letter of credit is a document issued by the importer countrys bank authorizing the exporter countrys bank to honor the checks of the exporter to the extent of the amount mentioned there in. In this way, a substitute bank

enjoying good faith and credit for that of an importer who is comparatively unknown protects the exporter. The importer is also protected as the letter of credit specifies in close details all the things an exporter must do to receive payment. TYPES OF LETTER OF CREDIT Irrevocable Letter of Credit Irrevocable L/C is one which cant be cancelled once decided by the parties and in which the issuing bank gives a lasting undertaking to accept and in due course to pay bills drawn up to it provided that the exporter fulfils the terms and conditions stipulated in the letter relating to documents, insurance etc, etc. Revocable Letter of Credit This L/C can be modified or cancelled by the issuing bank at any time without any obligation on its part. This letter is usually not acceptable to the businessmen. Unconfirmed Letter of Credit In unconfirmed L/C, the bank through which the credit is negotiated does not give any guarantee to the exporter that the issuing bank will honor the bills drawn. Clean Letter of Credit If there are no conditions attached to the bill and the issuing bank makes payment up to the credit limit, the letter is called A clean letter of credit OPENING OF L/C This mechanism of financing trade through letters of credit is quite simple. The importer or buyer will contact the seller in foreign country for the purchase of particular goods.
40
Chapter-6
Departmentation
The importer will then submit an application to his bank for the issuance of an individual letter of credit. The bank supplies the form on which the buyer applies for a letter of credit. This form contains all the necessary details of course, the description of merchandise, port of shipment, port of unloading, the document against which the bank is to honor the draft and the total value of the goods. When the buyer bank is called upon to honor the draft, the bank will concern it self only with the features of the contract of sales. The letter of credit can be opened by mail or by cable. When the letter of credit is opened by mail, the buyer bank sends the letter of credit and the carbon copies of the letter to the importer. If an importer directed the bank to open letter of credit by cable, the buyers bank sends a cable (Telex) to the corresponding bank in the foreign country with request to notify the exporter of L/C and terms and conditions laid there. Following documents must be attached with L/C; 1. Application of L/C. 2. Performa invoice of sending foreign company. 3. Membership certificate of chamber of commerce or association. 4. Insurance certificate. 5. IBC charge form. Negotiation of L/C Documents Negotiation will take place in following manners; 1. The seller sends the documents evidencing the shipment to the bank where the credit is available, accompanied by a draft drawn on the buyer, or on any other drawer specified in the credit at sight or at a tenure as specified in the L/C. 41

2.
After checking that the documents meet the credit requirements, the bank may negotiate the draft. Negotiating by the issuing bank or any other bank will be with recourse to the seller.
3.
This bank then sends the documents and the drafts to the issuing bank. Reimbursement is obtained in the per-agreement manners.

on which the checks are drawn, become in-debt to the banks in which the checks are deposited. At the same time, the creditor banks receive large amount of checks drawn on other banks giving claims of payment to them. It will be most uneconomical and confusing if banks had to transfer cash for meeting each others liability. The easiest safest and the most efficient way is to offset the net payment. This facility of net inter bank payments is provided by the clearinghouse. The representatives of the local commercial banks meet at a fixed time on all the business days of the week. The meeting is held in office of the bank, which officially performs the duties of a clearinghouse. The representatives of the commercial banks deliver the cheques payable at other local banks and received by them. Totals are also made of all the checks presented by or to each bank. The difference between the total represents the net amount payable to or by it. Banks keep two books regarding clearinghouse. Onward clearing book. For the purpose of recording all the checks that are received by the bank in the first clearing uses this. Details of checks are recorded in this book. Outward clearings book. This book uses outward clearing register for the purpose of recording all the details of the checks that the bank has delivered to other banks in first clearing.

FINANCIAL PRODUCTS OF UBL
7.1 UNI CASH
Now a days carrying cash while going out of your home is very risky. Every body wants maximum security while keeping his money in his pocket. People make use of TC and various credit cards for this purpose. UBL provides such facility through UNI CASH. The management of UNI CASH is carried out in the following way. Personal identification number When a Uni-Cash card is issued to a customer, a unique number known as Personal Identification Number (PIN) is also allotted to him/her. This is a 4 digits confidential number which when used in conjunction with the Uni-Cash card enables the customer to avail the cash point service. To keep it secret even from the bank staff, the PIN is generated and printed in a special manner by the computer on pre-sealed, tamper proof PIN millers. These PIN millers are designed in such a way that the PIN is only visible after the envelope is opened by the customer. Pin change As an additional safeguard, customer can change his PIN number. This means that he will allot himself different 4 digits secret number instead of the one received by him in the pin miller. For this purpose, he may like to select a number, which he finds easy to remember, but which any other person cannot easily guess. Card serial number The customer will notice that some numbers and alphabets are embossed on his Uni-Cash card. The first line obtains UNICASH CARD SERIAL
44
Chapter-7
NUMBER while the other line has customers name, account number and card expiry Month/ Year. Weekly withdrawal limits The Uni-Cash card issued to customer carries a weekly withdrawal limit, which applies to cash withdrawal, made from any of the cash point. This limit is equal to initial amount deposited by him at the time of applying for his card. Cash points For customers convenience, a number of cash points are available in the country. These machines are at customers service round the clock on all days of the year. Uni-Cash card can be used in these machines. Besides cash withdrawal, cash points would provide the following facilities; 6.7 Balance Inquiry Mini Statement 6.8 Pin Change Card captures Cash points will automatically capture card that have been duly reported as lost or have been cancelled or have expired. Similarly if one fails to key-in his correct PIN, in three repeated attempts, the card will be captured.
45
Chapter-7
Time out In order to provide added security, UBL cash point has been programmed to capture the card if the customer forgets to take it back after a transaction. Similarly if customer forgets to take the cash within a present time limit, the machine will also take it back. Normal time for recapture of the card/cash is 20 seconds. Loss of card In case, customer loses his UNI CASH card or the card is stolen, the matter should invariably be brought to the notice of the bank personnel.

SWOT ANALYSIS
On the basis of SWOT analysis, one can analyze the present status and performance of an organization and can make conclusions and
recommendations. The SWOT analysis consists of four words that are S, W, O & T, which stand for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats respectively.
9.1 STRENGTHS:

CONCLUSION
After the establishment of UBL in he year 1959, the bank was successful in achieving some of its objectives. In the very first year, the bank earned a handsome profit. After the exhaustive era of nationalization, the banks are now again transforming to private ownership. The decade of 1960 was dominated by an exceptional increase in economic activities. This resulted in brining various changes in the management and structure of the commercial banks. In the area of management, more professionals were brought in and the same was done with the structure. UBL was not an exception to these changes. In the last decade of the century, the bank has witnessed very bad banking business. To rebuild the bank, new professional people were included, under the leadership of MR. Zahoor Soomro. Under him, the bank introduced incentive schemes and products such as CARAMAD, ZAR AMAD and UNI MAHANA etc. The bank also reshaped the product of Rupee Travelers Check (RTC) with a new name of HAMRA. All these schemas were very successful in stopping the capital flight from the country, which was the result of banning foreign currency accounts in MAY, 1998 after the nuclear blasts. Now the bank is focusing on improving the standard of its service facilities, specially improving its corporate banking and more customer satisfactory culture. All these new and potential improvements are signs of bright future for the UBL.

CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF BANKING SECTOR
Exposure to the world through rapid development in the information technologies has brought about considerable change in our perception about a number of fields in general and banking in particular. The very access to information about the development of banking and the level of sophistication that has been accomplished in this particular sector in the developed economies has changed our view that we held previously about banking. Our work with United Bank for two months gave us an opportunity not only to understand banking but also made the problems faced by our poorly performing banking sector quite conspicuous. The main problem that I observed has to do with the general commercial banking in our country and its functioning in economic, socio-political environment. It is poorly regulated sector and far from being developed at the international standards due to the lack of autonomy it has. A great proportion of their loans is non-performing and is stuck up either in the public sector enterprises or with a group of politically influential industrialist class. This class has been termed by Diaz Alejald Ro, a writer from Latin America, as gropes.
