public sector financial
development institution with a
wide network of 27 Zonal Offices,
9 Audit Zones and 352 branches
in Pakistan. The bank serves
around half a million clients
annually and has over one million
accumulated account holders.
History
Pakistan is an agricultural country and more than 60% of its population
is working related to agriculture. A development in the agricultural
sector will no doubt result in the development of the whole country. To
keep With a view to meet this basic need the Agricultural Development
Finance Corporation was set-up in 1951, and was entrusted with the
task of providing financial facilities for the development and
modernization of agriculture, including: Forestry, Fishery, Animal
Husbandry, Poultry, Dairy Farming.
Later on the Agricultural Development Bank of Pakistan was also
established in September 1957, under the Agricultural Development
Bank Act. The Bank is to provide credit in cash or in kind, warehousing
and storage facilities to agriculturists, cooperative societies and other
bodies, of which the majority of members are agriculturists.

As the functions of the Agricultural Development Finance Corporation
and Agricultural Development Bank were similar and since both were
working with capital provided by the Government, they were merged
into one organization known as Agricultural Development Bank of
Pakistan on February 18. 1961. The Agricultural Development Bank of
Pakistan was a banking company for the purpose of the Banking
Companies Ordinance and the State Bank of Pakistan Act.
On 14 December 2002 the Federal Government has converted the
Agricultural Development Bank of Pakistan (ADBP) into Zarai Taraqiati
Bank Ltd (ZTBL) and the new venture has started its operation with
immediate effect. The new corporate structure redefines the banks
statue as a public limited company with an independent Board of
Directors promulgated under the presidential ordinance which, aims at
ensuring good governance, autonomy, delivering high quality, viable
and timely financial services to a greater number of clientele in the
agricultural and rural segment of the country with adequate returns to
the stakeholder.
After this incorporation all the assets and liabilities of ADBP became
the assets and liabilities of ZTBL. This restructure was carried out with
the aim to improve the working and role of bank in the agricultural
development.
The bank is completely owned by the government and it has head
office in Islamabad.

The credit rating of the bank is due to the reason that bank enjoys
sovereign guarantee of the federal government that covers its debt
obligations to State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and ensures safety of
deposits under the Banks’ (Nationalization) Act 1974. The bank’s
lending book is largely funded through SBP’s credit lines while
contribution from deposits remains nominal. ZTBL is actively exploring
different
options
for
resource
mobilization
including
bilateral/multilateral arrangements with financial institutions. In case
these efforts materialize; it would diversify the existing funding source
of the bank, thereby reducing reliance on the SBP.

Transformation of ZTBL to R.F.I
country and road to excellence.
of
the
The conversion of ADBP into ZTBL had a conditionality of the Asian
Development Bank (ADB) loan framework as per which a restructuring
exercise was initiated. The restructuring process entailed ADB’s Rural
Finance Sector Development Program (RFSDP) with the objective to
transform ZTBL into a sustainable Rural Finance Institution. It also
included the up-gradation of Information technology (IT) infrastructure
for which funds from ADB’s loan were to be utilized.
Healthy and well-functioning rural finance markets are directly related
to achieving the two key national policy objectives of accelerating
rural/agriculture growth and reducing poverty. The realization of these
objectives depends on the simultaneity of developments in rural
finance and non-financial markets to foster the creation of diverse
sources of rural finance to build sustainable financial institutions, and
stimulate products and capital flows in the rural sector. For this, rural
finance must be seen as an integral part of equitable development
within a framework of macroeconomic stability.
For the majority, access to affordable rural finance services is also
important to enable them to compete in the post-World Trade
Organization scenario. Inability to compete because of high financial
costs could reduce income of the majority of farmers and rural clients,
particularly the small and subsistence clients. Lack of access to
affordable rural finance services will also prevent the clients from
switching to non-farm activities.
The ZTBL restructuring plan covering the following;
• Governance: establish an environment that facilitates good
governance and accountability;
• Systems: modernize operations through use of technology,
networking, and communication tools;
14
Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010
• Business processes: streamline products and delivery systems
so as to reduce transaction costs, simplify operations, and
increase outreach;
• Products and services: introduce products and services that
are financially economically viable;
• Human resource development: improve standards and skills
of management and staff and strengthen training capacity; and
• Information Technology: establish new hardware and software
platform to support MIS, accounting system including forensic
accounting, and risk management functions.
The reforms shall establish ZTBL as a key R.F.I of the country. By
expanding its private sector role, the bank aims to establish network of
high tech rural and agri. financial services through intermediations
under public private participation and whole-sale -retail lending
mechanism.

•
•
•
•
ZTBL has a less number of people who have technical skill of computer and

As the ZTBL has to deal with the illiterate farmers that is why it has to keep itself
as simple as the farmer’s mentality.
The employees are promoted after a very long time that causes a distress among
employees.
Many branches still practice their daily transaction by book, which makes banking
laborious and time consuming.
Branches of ZTBL are ill equipped, less and poor quality furniture is provided.

CAREER FOR MANAGEMEN TTRAINEE OFFICERS:
ZTBL has the pride of being the largest Financial Institution in the rural sector of

modernization of agriculture as well as promoting Cottage Industries in rural
areas. So we are looking for committed & enthusiastic individuals to fill the

ZTBL AND FLOW OF RURAL CREDIT:
51
Internship Report on Zarai
Taraqiati Bank Ltd.
2010
One of the marketing strategies of Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited is the increasing
flow of rural credit. As we know that the agriculture is the crucial contributor to the
national economy:
• Contributes a quarter to GDP.
• Employs 47% labor force.
•
Over 50% of industrial production comes from agro business.
•
Earns (directly or indirectly) 70% of export revenue.
•
Provides livelihood to 67% rural households.
• Vast Majority of poor live in rural areas (nearly 80% of all poor live in rural
areas).
• Poor are mainly dependent on agriculture for their food and livelihood
security Livestock is an important of livelihood for the poor.
Agricultural growth contributes most to poverty reduction.
• Through forward and backward linkages, agriculture. Contributes to rural
economy (farm and non farm) and creates livelihood for poor in the nonfarm sector.
The main source of agricultural growth includes:
• Dates, Mangoes, Citrus and Potatoes are high value potential horticultural
crops.
• Floriculture is fast growing sub sector, influencing domestic as well as
export markets.
• Remunerative opportunities exist for entrepreneurs in agri-business
identified high return agri-businesses include:
• Livestock fattening.
52
Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010
• Milk collection and chilling.
• Cut flowers.
• Fruit processing.
Accelerated growth of agriculture, especially of high value
agricultural activities, will continue to be cornerstone of Government overall
strategy to reduce poverty. ZTBL and micro-finance institutions; need to
increase flow of rural credit.
• During 2005-06 ZTBL disbursed Rs48 billion credits and total credit 137
billion, meeting less than one third of the total demand for Credit.
• Cumbersome legal process and lack of political will creates problem for
loan recovery.
• Access to credit remains limited and restrictive by lengthy processes
and smallholders are generally left out. But in ZTBL the process is too
shortened and easily accessible that all the smallholders are
entertained.
MARKETING STRATEGIES OF ZTBL:
There are a number of marketing strategies of Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited
some of these strategies are listed below;
Crop Insurance:
The Benazir Credit Card Schemes and Crop Loan Insurance Schemes
have also been introduced for the benefit of cotton, rice and other crops
growers. Crop insurance Schemes have been considered an impractical
dream by the insurance sector for quite long, but innovative solutions
designed by National Insurance have made it a practical option. NICL and
National Bank of Pakistan have prepared an Agri Loan Insurance Policy
properly supported and backed by the re-insurance arrangements at a
reasonable competitive cost. Through this collaboration, agri loans of more
53
Internship Report on Zarai
Taraqiati Bank Ltd.
2010
than Rs.30 billion have been provided insurance cover. Similarly, ZTBL
has also been provided the facility of Agri Insurance Cover.
Tractor Scheme:
The Tractor Scheme was launched to provide tractors to the farmers at a
subsidized price. A large number of tractors are to be distributed amongst
the farmers on very low interest rates. The ZTBL is supplying high
efficiency irrigation system to farmers to improve agricultural activity in
areas of scarce water. ZTBL provides tractor to farmers that have 10 acres
agricultural land. The recovery of loan is on easy terms. The farmers have
to pay back the loan in 8 years. The installment is semiannually
Which is round about 50,000 rupees? In this way the farmers can easily
pay back the amount.
Availability of Quality Seeds:
ZTBL decided to ensure the supply of quality seed, one of the most
important inputs in crop production, to have maximum yields in all crops.
As a result, production of almost all major crops, including wheat, rice,
maize, gram, moong and pearl millet, rose significantly. A special project of
improving vegetables seeds at local level has also been initiated.
Agricultural Loans:
During 2008-2009, the Government earmarked Rs.250 billion, higher by
20% over the preceding year, for banks to finance the farming community.
This amount for the current fiscal is Rs.260 billion for major and minor
crops, orchards and forestry. Credit limit was increased because of rising
prices of all inputs including electricity. Crop loan insurance scheme was
also introduced to enhance the access of farmers to agricultural loans.
Provision of agricultural credit to farmers facilitated them to procure the
costly inputs in order to ensure the target planting and production of
various crops. A new Agriculture Mode Village Program has been initiated
in 26 villages under the auspices of Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited
54
Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010
(ZTBL). The objective is to organize the farming community at the
village level ensuring farmers easy access to agri credit.
ZTBL and Field Work:
One of the main marketing strategies of Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited is the
field work. Through which the ZTBL officers visit the agricultural land and
meet the people, in this way they are able to know about the forming land
and also about the people. And the people too became conversant with the
officers and in this way they are able to know about the lending schemes.
ZTBL is also promoting hajj and umrah schemes.
BUSINESS PROCESS ANALYSIS:
ZTBL AND ENHANCEMENT OF CROP PRODUCTIVITY:
The economy of Pakistan is predominately agrarian in character. Despite
progress in other sectors the agriculture sector is contributing about 25% towards
the GDP. About 67.5% of the total population lives in rural areas and the
agriculture is main source for their livelihood. About 44% of the labor force is
engaged in agriculture sector and about 70% of the direct and indirect income is
generated from this sector.
The agriculture sector is multi-segmental. Majority of our farm community
comprised of subsistence farmers who are not in a position to use high quality
seeds, sufficient fertilizers and improved farm implements due To the lack of
finances available to them. Lack of finance is one of the main reasons for low per
acre productivity in our agriculture. The matter of enhancing agricultural
productivity therefore largely depends on the availability of finance and credit
facility available to the farmers in their respective areas (ADBL, 1996). Every
modern business is operated on capital or borrowed capital. Similarly, farming
also requires capital. The need for farm credit in increasing production and
effective utilization of farm resources is quite clear. Farming not only require
credit in the form of improved seeds, fertilizer and modern implements but also
55
Internship Report on Zarai
Taraqiati Bank Ltd.
2010
requires liquid capital for financing harvesting, haulage of produce and other
similar farm operation (ADBP, 1996).
In Pakistan there are two major sources of agricultural credit, non-institutional
and institutional sources. The non-institutional credit suppliers include friends;
neighbors and professional moneylenders are the main source of credit in the
country. Institutional sources comprise of cooperative banks, Zarai Taraqiati
Bank Ltd. (ZTBL), nationalized and privatized commercial banks and Taccavi
credits (ADBP, 1996). Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. (ZTBL) consolidated and
intensified its operation to play an effective role in financing of farm investments
to modernize agriculture, increase farm production and raise farm income. The
bank continued to push forward the on-going programmes and projects relating
to provision of credit and technology to targets groups covering landless,
subsistence, small farmers and rural women through its credit programmed
(Government of Pakistan, 2001).
The objectives of the study were as under:
• Analyze the utilization of credit by small farmers in the study area,
• Compare the effects of utilization of credit on crop production and income
of beneficiaries without credit and with credit.
• Suggest measures as to how the present credit scheme can further be
improved.
The present study was conducted to examine the utilization and effects of
short-term credit from Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. (ZTBL) at Tehsil Kabul area of
district Swat in August 2003. Eighty respondents were selected in which forty
were the beneficiaries of ZTBL and the remaining forty were the nonbeneficiaries selected from the same area. Paired sample t-test was used to
compare the production and income of the beneficiaries without credit and
with credit. Independent sample t-test was used to compare the production
and income of beneficiaries with non-beneficiaries. On overall basis
beneficiaries’ farmer utilized 78.84% of the amount of credit for the purpose it
was received. While the remaining amount i.e. 21.15% was mis-utilized. Per
acre production of beneficiaries with credit for tomato, wheat, maize and onion
56
Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010
were 170.4 maunds (1 maund equal to 50kg), 24.6 maunds, 39.4 maunds and
152.4 maunds, respectively. In case of beneficiaries without credit it was
139.6 maunds, 18.93 maunds, 30.3 maunds and 130.7 maunds, respectively
on per acre basis. While in case of non-beneficiaries it was 144.5 mounds,
19.25 maunds, 32.2 maunds and 135.3 maunds, respectively on per acre
basis. Net return of beneficiaries with credit for tomato, wheat, maize and
onion was Rs.17410.9, Rs. 3908.67, Rs. 7695.75, and Rs. 16450.5,
respectively on per acre basis. While beneficiaries without credit it was Rs.
11863.21, Rs. 2195.54, Rs. 5981.17, and Rs. 10968.9, respectively on per
acre basis. In case of non-beneficiaries it was Rs. 13616.85, Rs. 2830.15, Rs.
6600.88, and Rs. 13465, respectively on per acre basis.
ZTBL AND BUSINESS SCHEMES:
ZTBL (Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd) formely known as Agriculture Development Bank
of Pakistan has been struggling since the last couple of decades to optimize its
operational efficiency. There has been tremendous pressure both by the State
Bank of Pakistan and BOD to design and implement an effective Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) system using Information Communication Technology
to enhance Regulatory Compliance, offer better KPI monitoring and improved
real time Management Information System enabling the Bank to launch new ICT
based schemes/products for farmers and HR Performance Management
System..
After a considerable lapse of time; ZTBL has experienced in the last two years a
most productive growth. The executive management has managed to
successfully convert the highly demoralized non-productive HR workforce into
productivity mode. Through the newly revamped productive HR workforce the
Bank has posted an overall 1.6 billion rupees in profits..
The Information Systems Division has been reorganized and revamped through
the induction of highly skilled and seasoned human resource and has enabled
the bank to do on-line loan processing using the bank’s own newly established
Wide Area Network (WAN). The efforts of the ISD development team towards the
successful modification of the architecture of the legacy loan processing system
57
Internship Report on Zarai
Taraqiati Bank Ltd.
2010
has resulted in effectively conserving more than twenty years of continuous
business processes improvements of investment.
Through the successful modification in the architecture of the existing legacy
system; ISD has enabled the field offices to run real-time online processing jobs
centrally running on the servers at Head Office Data center.
This improvement now offers the entire portfolio of products and services to the
branch offices. The Branch staff can now entertain loan processing application,
recovery and/or release of installments under products like regular loan, Sada
Bahar, White revolution etc on the terminals in the branches.
This radical new development in the Bank’s ICT infrastructure has offered
tremendous operational efficiency. For example in the past the Branch office staff
conducted business manually and then hardcopies of the transaction data was
manually fed into the system on a weekly basis at the zonal offices.
Upon completion of the data entry of all branch offices within a zone was
completed, the Zonal office would then dispatch the consolidated data on tape
cartridges through courier services to the head office. Due to this process; at
Times considerable delays were experienced by the Bank for the compilation of
consolidated nationwide bank position.
There had been numerous monitoring, reporting and performance management
issues just because of the fact that HO was not able to have complete digitized
record of business transactions. The newly revamped Centralized loan
processing system would now enable the bank to improve the operational
efficiency tenfold with an overall reduction of operational expenses.
The Bank has selected ORACLE ERP in order to revamp the entire BackOffice
operations. In this regard, ORACLE University is currently conducting a two and
half months long rigorous training program for more than 120 bankers.
In order to fulfill State Bank regulatory compliance with reference to the
maintenance of NADRA verified client records; ISD has successfully conceived,
58

designed and developed an integrated end to end loan processing system by
mapping the ZTBL loan processing system to NADRA data base with a further
integration to the State Bank of Pakistan’s eCIB database.
Also the Loan processing system, Deposit Management system, NADRA
verification and Customer Credit worthiness are all seamlessly integrated
together. Since a few months ago, Data Cleansing in conformity to SBP and
ZTBL business procedure was conceived as difficult, if not impossible as the
entire physical record was available in the branches and there was no interface
even at Zonal offices to verify physical record with computerized loan processing
system, NADRA and SBP-CIB system.
ISD has also designed, developed and implemented Deposit Management
System at Branches as an extension of loan processing system. Most modern
database management system is being used to digitize the existing semi manual
deposit management system.
DMS has been designed to allow the bankers to post transaction themselves by
using most modern concepts like photo and signature verification on the screen.
With the deployment of the new system; all records would now be verified by
NADRA, checked for credit worthiness from the State Bank.
It has been planned that by the end of June, 2008, more than 250 branches
would be equipped with necessary hardware with preinstall DMS and NADRA
verified clients from on-line processing system.
EUROPEAN UNION AND ZTBL:
ZTBL was poised to serve the technical needs of the entire community. The Bank
took lead in serving over 0.5 million farmers and hoped to extend its outreach to
strengthen the agriculture sector. It was said by president ZTBL, MUHAMMAD
ZAKA ASHRAF on the meeting held at head office before European Union
delegates. He said that ZTBL was poised to play more proactive role for the

development of agriculture sector and alleviate rural poverty. This would have
lasting impact in modernizing and boosting agriculture sector for the country. The
president said that through its countrywide network the ZTBL being the largest
financial institution has achieved the highest landmarks of performance during
the last two years as it increased its disbursements from Rs.56 Billion to Rs.77
Billion, recovered Rs.73.8, and earned Rs4.6 Billion profit before tax. This has
given financial strength and viability to the bank. He further appraised that code
of corporate governance and control system has also been implemented.
CHINESE FIRM AND ZTBL:
China would introduce alternate energy technology for agriculture development in
Pakistan that would facilitate the farmers to meet their energy needs through
alternate resources in cost effective manner. Most recently ATBL has inked an
agreement with Chinese firm Ms Xi` an Hong Yuan equipment in Islamabad.
Under the agreement, the company will bring equipments for demonstration at
their own cost and expanse. They will make demonstration of their own
Equipment to introduce new technologies and make available for the forming
sector. On successful demonstration the product will be marketed through kissan
support services. Speaking on the occasion, the president ZTBL Ch Muhammad
Zaka Ashraf expressed the hope that the agreements would a long way in
promoting the agriculture in the country besides benefiting the farmers.

COMPETETIVE STRATEGY OF ZTBL
COMPETETIVE STRATEGY:
The strategy by which the organizations producing same or substitute products
compete with each other. The fourth specialized government-owned bank, Zarai
Taraqiati Bank Ltd. (ZTBL), needs financial and operational restructuring. This
bank is highly strategic, as it provides about one third (31.7%) of all credit to the
agriculture sector. Different public sector approaches have failed in the past to
61
Internship Report on Zarai
Taraqiati Bank Ltd.
2010
transform ZTBL. The most important unresolved issue is its excessive debt
liabilities as well as shareholding pattern. SBP has proposed that the
Government should pave the way for its eventual privatization, considered to be
critical for augmenting its scale and efficiency.
Agricultural Credit:
Credit requirements of the farming sector have been increasing over the years
mainly due to the rise in the use of fertilizer, pesticides and mechanization. In
order to cope with the Agriculture increasing demand for agricultural credit,
institutional credit to farmers is being provided through Zarai Taraqiati Bank
Limited (ZTBL), Commercial Banks, Punjab Provincial Cooperative Bank Ltd
(PPCBL) and Domestic Private Banks. The Government has allocated Rs 160
billion for agriculture credit disbursements for the year 2006-07 which is 23.1
percent higher than the allocation of the preceding year i.e. Rs 130 billion. The
allocations, however, are totally voluntary and indicative in nature as the
mandatory allocations policy has been totally phased out and the allocations for
commercial banks have also been made indicative. The elimination of mandatory
credit allocations coupled with active involvement of commercial banks in
agricultural finance is major milestone achieved towards mainstreaming of
Agricultural finance in the country’s financial system. The flow of necessary
funding to the sector will now be ensured through conducive policy and
regulatory environment, policy advocacy and promotional initiatives and
monitoring of agri-disbursements and portfolio build-up plans. Out of the total
Credit target of Rs 160 billion, Rs 80 billion were allocated to commercial banks,
Rs 48 billion to ZTBL, Rs 9 billion to Punjab Provincial Cooperative Bank Ltd.,
and Rs 23 billion to Domestic Private Commercial Banks. The agricultural loans
extended to the farming community during July-March, 2006-07 are discussed
below:
a) Production and Development Loans:
62
Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010
Agricultural loans amounting to Rs. 104.8 billion were disbursed during (JulyMarch, 2006-07) as against Rs.91.2 billion during the corresponding period last
year, thereby registering an increase of 15 percent. The share of ZTBL in supply
of total agricultural credit by institutions increased and was 32.9 percent during
(July–March, 2006-07) while it was 31.8 percent during the same period last
year. However, the share of Commercial Banks has surpassed the share of
ZTBL; it was 46.8 percent of the total agricultural credit disbursed during July–
March 2006-07. While the share of PPCBL has also slightly increased as it stood
at 5 percent in supply of total agricultural credit by institutions. The share of
domestic private bank has increased; it was 15.3 percent as compared with 12
percent in the corresponding period of last year. Supply of agricultural credit by
various
b) Loan under One Window Operation:
ZTBL has launched a one-window operation to enhance credit facilities
particularly to small farmers. This will facilitate to cater for purchase for inputs
during peak sowing season of both Rabi and Kharif Crops with the collaboration
of Provincial Governments, Revenue Officials and Postal Authorities. Agriculture
Pass books are issued at the spot to intending new borrowers. Their land record
is entered and loans are sanctioned at focal points whereas payments are
released on the very next day from the concerned branch. During July-March,
2006-07, an amount of Rs 9.069 billion has been disbursed under this scheme.
c) Revolving
Scheme:
Finance
Scheme/Sada
Bahar
For providing timely input loans for crops and working capital for dairy, poultry
and fisheries, the ZTBL launched Sada Bahar Scheme (SBS). Under this
scheme credit requirements for inputs for the whole year is assessed and made
available to the borrower. The Managers are authorized to sanction loan up to
Rs. 0.5 million. During (July–March, 2006-07), ZTBL has disbursed loans of Rs.
30.912 billion under Revolving Finance Scheme (RFS) and Sada Bahar Scheme
63
Internship Report on Zarai
Taraqiati Bank Ltd.
2010
(SBS) as against Rs. 24.149 billion disbursed during corresponding period of last
year, indicating an increase of 28 percent.
d) Credit to Women Program:
The major objective of this programme of ZTBL is to make credit more accessible
to rural women through Female Mobile Credit Officers (FMCOs). Under Credit to
Women Program, women can meet their credit needs through both Micro Credit
& General Credit Scheme. Presently, 17 FMCOs are exclusively looking after
credit needs of women in 17 branches of the Bank, whereas female borrowers
may also obtain loan through male MCOs throughout the country. During (July–
March, 2006-07) loans of Rs. 99.572 million have been disbursed under this
programme.
e) Micro Credit Scheme:
Under the Micro Credit Scheme of the ZTBL, all the Mobile Credit Officer working
in the branches process micro credit cases both for men and women to engage
rural poor in income generating activities/cottages industries. Financing under
this program is provided for 136 loanable items. All loans are recovered within 18
months of their advancement.
f) Crop Maximization Project:
In order to augment the efforts of the Government to enhance productivity on
sustainable basis, Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock (MINFAL) and
Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited (ZTBL) have launched, “Crop Maximization Project”.
The project aims at assisting the farmers to increase agriculture production. A
total of 109 villages are being covered under this project. In the project villages,
Village Organization (VOs) have been established which organize the farmers
and assist them with the collaboration of Agricultural (extension) Staff in
64
Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010
achieving the maximum productivity through proper use of inputs, water saving
devices and modern agricultural technology. Farmers owning up to 25 acres land
are entitled to receive loan from project credit line through Mobile Credit Officers.
Under this project Rs 371.403 million has been disbursed during July–March,
2006-07.
ENHANCING THE COMPETETIVENESS:
To enhance the competitiveness, ZTBL is focusing on continuing to broaden and
deepen the financial system further. To prevail in the industry Zarai Taraqiati
Bank is
• Reviewing the actual behavior and conduct of banks related to its structure
and than taking the required actions.
• Resisting contestability.
• Development of non-bank financial intermediaries is promoting
competitiveness
• Increase demand for advances results in a need for higher deposit
mobilization which increases competition.
• Interest rates in Pakistan are usually non-transparent. Ninety percent of
deposits are remunerated through profit and loss sharing arrangements
rather than at explicit interest known to the depositor in advance. But in
ZTBL the interest rates are known to the depositor in advance. That is a
good competitive strategy and due to this strategy, the bank is on the way
to success.
• To improve transparency in the pricing and documentation of loans, ZTBL
has been barred from including any clause in the loan documents that
could allow them to change lending rates unilaterally and make
Explicit all service charges so that the borrower will not incur hidden charges
during the term of the loan.
• Growth in agricultural credit recovered in financial year 2008, after a
relative slowdown in the preceding two years. The agricultural credit
disbursements rose to Rs. 211 billion in financial year 2008, up by 25.4
percent. The domestic private banks fared well both in disbursements and
in the recoveries while specialized banks could not maintain their market
share. A strong resurge in the number of borrowers is also a welcome

development during financial year 2008. The number of borrowers
increased to 1.28 million during financial year 2008 as against a declining
trend in the previous three years. Despite, rise in interest rates amid
monetary tightening, a significant increase in agricultural credit and
number of borrowers during financial year 2008 is principally attributed to
5 Agricultural credit disbursement target for financial year 2009 is set at
Rs. 250 billion. The main thing to say is that about 25% of this agricultural
credit is taken from Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited. The structural changes in
agricultural credit are shown below which manifests that the major share of
agricultural credit is received from specialized banks and ZTBL is the
leading one.

Redemption of loan
On the payment of all the dues by the loanee (principal + interest), he
can free his land (or any other security provided) from any charge
created by bank for the purpose of loan. For this purpose he will have
to present the following documents:
1. Application for redemption
2. Stamp Paper of rupee 20
3. Last receipt of amount paid
4. Cheque book (if issued)
When the loanee provides these documents to assistant officer (Or any
officer appointed for these sort of work), the assistant officer asks the
peon to bring the Loan Case File of the borrower. After the file is
received by the assistant officer, he checks the documents that
whether all the documents are there in the file. Then he makes
required entries in the Passbook. These entries usually made on the
page 28 and 30. The example of entries is given below.
The following entries are made on page 28.

(Page number 18 is

After these entries the officer then sends the file to Manager for
signature. On approval from the Manager for the Redemption
Application the assistant officer attaches all afore said documents with
in the file and record in the “File Movement Register” that file has
been moved from the record room for the redemption purpose.
Than the file is send to AMO (Assistant Manager Operation) for further
process. The loanee is given the date of next week to collect his
“Passbook”. During this period AMO checks the record of the loanee to
confirm that the entire due amount with respect to that particular loan
has been paid and then he signs to give approval to assistant officer to
issue “Passbook” to the loanee. The AMD (Assistant Manager) and
Manger both also sign the notice issued in the name of Patwari and
Tehsildar that the land can be transferred to the loanee as the loan has
been fully paid by him.
Then file again comes to the assistant officer, he checks the signature
both in the notice and Passbook and then stamped both. Now the
Passbook is ready to issue. Before issuing Passbook the officer record
that passbook is issued to the loanee in the “Dispatched Register”. On
the issuance of Passbook to the loanee, the officer verifies that the
person receiving the documents is the original owner of the land which
is mortgaged with the bank. After getting the Passbook, the loanee
goes to Patwari and Tehsildar for the change of record back to his
name.
The one thing which is interesting here is obtaining Stamp Paper from
the borrower. This is not a requirement but bank has made it practice
so that if in the near future, it finds that some amount is still due by
the borrower than it can write on the stamp paper whatever it wants
and then can claim the due amount from the borrower. This is
70
Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010
precautionary measure adopted by bank because once the Passbook
issued to the borrower and the land again transferred to his name, the
bank will be in no position to recover any amount which is
unexpectedly left due.
The redemption process in short can be described as the
following:
• Submission of Application
• Acceptance of application by manager
• Record of file in the “File Movement Register”
• Entries made in the passbook
• File send to AMO for checking of loan status
• On approval from AMO, the Manger and Assistant manger signed
the notice to issue Passbook
• The passbook dispatched to loanee with notice to Tehsildar to
transfer land back to his name
• After the land is transferred to the loanee name, if he wishes he
can withdraw the amount from his current account and can close
his account.
Usually the loanees do not redeem their land because they want to
avoid the cost and wastage of time when in the future they again
have to gain loan from the bank. So, they usually remain the land in
the name of the bank even after they have paid the whole loan
amount. During my internship I have seen people who has paid loan
more than 10 years ago but they came to bank after such long time
to redeem their land and the reason behind their redeem was that
they want to transfer it to someone others name otherwise they
may not come for redeem.
I have also seen one of the clients who has paid loan in 1985 but his
land is still in the name of the bank and they have not redeemed it.
After the death of the client his sons came to know that the land
could not be transfer to their name because it is still mortgaged
against the loan which their father had paid in 1985. So, at that time
71
Internship Report on Zarai
Taraqiati Bank Ltd.
2010
they reach bank for redemption because the bank always
maintained record so their file found from the record room after
little efforts. All this shows the confidence the people has on the
bank and also shows that in practical life anything can happen.

Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010
Opening of Current Account
In the ZTBL, the current account usually opened only when the person
comes there for a loan. On the approval of loan, his sanctioned amount
is usually credited to his current account. The procedure of opening of

1: Acquiring Original CNIC
It is mandatory to check the original CNIC of the person before opening
of current account. In the ZTBL it is routine to open account when
manager sanctioned and signed the amount of loan. Because at that
stage it becomes essential to have an account in the bank otherwise
the amount of loan will not be paid.
The other documents required to attach with the forms are:
• 2 recent pictures
• Copy of CNIC.

6: Filling of Deposit Slip of starting amount
To open an account in the ledgers of bank the account holder requires
to deposit an initial amount. This amount in ZTBL is usually 1000;
however it depends on the amount of loan sanctioned like some loans
required to deposit a larger amount with the bank before issuance of
loan from the bank. The example of such loan is of Tractor because I
have not be given chance to stay with an MCO, so I don’t know what
exact amount is required to deposit with the bank for any particular
loan.

Then the forms and deposit slip is signed by AMO (Assistant Manager
Operation) and Manger to verify that all the requirements of opening
an account is met by the account holder.
8: Issuance of Cheque book
Than on depositing of a nominal fee of rupee 30 the account holder
has been issued a cheque book. In the bank where I have completed
my internship, the cheque book is issued by the cashier when the
person deposits his starting amount of account and the amount of
issuing of cheque book.
9: Opening account in the ledger of bank
Unlike other banks, ZTBL is still working on manually written ledger
books. However, the bank is also gradually computerizing its records.
These ledger books are large books with a number on front of it which
helps in finding the record of any particular person. The ZTBL Mian
Channu branch where I have completed my internship has 52 ledgers
at that time with the current account holder of 11595 at the date of 15
September 2010. There will absolutely many accounts which will not
be alive.
When the depositor deposited the amount his name and other
particulars is written down in the ledger so that he can transact with
the bank in the future. The ledger of current account contains the
following information.

The above given table is the example of information usually written in
the current account of a customer. There are also many other column
available in the ledger books but they all are not used in the bank.
There are some options which are not printed there but it is a practice
to write that information, like there is no column of signature but
without a signature no one can check the validity of a cheque. So, I
have observed that the signature and thumb impression is used to
take in the right side of ledger book where a lot of space is available.
The other option which I have mentioned here but not included in the
ledger book is the cheque book number. It is also practice to write
down serial of cheque book in the space available. It makes it possible
to confirm that the cheque book which the customer is using to
transact with the bank is associated with that particular bank account
or not.
Here I have also made few entries which show how a transaction is
recorded in the ledger book. Absolutely, the date is the first option
than the particulars which shows what exactly happen on that day.
Like in the first entry the bank account has been opened with an
amount of 1000. So, I have written “by cash” in the particulars which
represents that the person has transacted in cash. Then I credited the
amount which shows that this money is given by the customer and in
the balance column it has increased the balance with the same amount
of 1000. The next column is used by the signing authority (AMO in my
case) to confirm the transaction.
As I have written before that in ZTBL current account is usually opened
only when the bank has to disburse any loan to the customer. When I
have joined the bank that was the slack time for the bank because all
the customers of bank are farmers that is why they come to bank to
79
Internship Report on Zarai
Taraqiati Bank Ltd.
2010
get or give loan when they have to plant or harvest any crop. That is
why a number of bank customers are seasonal. They are usually a
great rush from April to June and then from November to December.
Awami Zari Scheme was the only scheme available to new borrower at
the time I was there. In this scheme a part of sanctioned amount is
given to borrower to meet the wage and water expenses and the rest
amount is paid by supply order of fertilizer and pesticides. The amount
which has to pay in the form of cash is credited to the current account
of customer from where he can withdraw it. The 2 nd entry in the sketch
of ledger above shows the disbursement of any of such loan, which has
increased the balance to 51000.
When the customer draws a cheque on the bank the entry in the
ledger will be like I have shown above with the date of 16-09-2010. The
account of the customer will be debited and the balance will be
reduced with the same amount.
A large number of ZTBL customers are illiterate so they can not fill
their cheque by themselves and due to this reason almost all the
cheques are filled in the accounts by a clerk. Before filling the cheque
of anyone he assures the balance in the account and in the same time
he records entries so he will not have to reopen the ledger to make
entry after the deposit or withdrawal of amount by the customer. So
there are some things which I have learned from the seniors which
they have developed to facilitate themselves when the customer will
come again in the future, these guidelines are following:
• Write the ledger name and its page number on the front of new
cheque book
• Write the account number on every cheque of new cheque book
• Take the Thumb Impression of every customer on the cheque
• For the man take left thumb impression and for women take right
or both
• No cheque will be paid to anyone else than account holder if it is
a loan account
80
Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010
• Fill the cheque in Urdu if the customer signs in Urdu or gives
Thumb Impression only
• Also fill the memorandum attached with in cheque book with
each cheque to record all the transaction for future reference of
client and to the bank also.
All the cheques are required to be signed by respected authority
before payment of cash, like AMO (Assistant Manager Operation).
Before his sign no cheques can be passed, he also cheques the entries
made by clerk in the ledgers before passing cheques. In this way the
entries originated by any person is double checked which reduce the
chances of any mistake.
Whenever a cheque of more than 25000 is come to cash it is required
to write a voucher of “With Holding Tax” with it so that the amount of
tax can be deducted from the payment.
The vouching will be
discussed later on.

ZTBL Flood Relief Fund 2010
Heavy monsoon rains started to hit Pakistan from 22 July 2010, causing
flash floods in several parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Baluchistan,
Punjab and Pakistan Administered Kashmir. This flood have caused
huge destruction, hundreds of villages have been swept away.
Death toll has risen to more than 1500 people, at least 1.2 million
homes have been damaged and an estimated 17.2 million people have
been affected by the floods. Floods have caused widespread damage
to public infrastructure, with roads submerged and tens of bridges
swept away, many hospitals and an estimated 7,173 schools are being
severely damaged. Power and communication lines are down in many
areas. The economic cost is also huge. Thousands acres of agricultural
land has been flooded, at least 3.2 million hectares of standing crops
have been damaged and at least 200,000 livestock animals have been
lost.
This is a snap shot of the situation after the flood and the damage final
estimates are yet to make. To help the victims of this flood ZTBL made
Flood Relief Fund 2010 and the head office asked all the branches to
collect the fund for this flood relief fund. According to circular issued by
Head Office every branch make it sure to convince the borrower,
depositors and general public to contribute in this fund for this purpose
the following procedure is required to follow:
• From any loan of below 200,000 or any payment from the
account of customer below this limit should be deducted with
amount of at least 100 rupee to contribute in the flood relief fund.
However, it is required to make sure that avoid double deduction
from any particular person’s payment. But if anyone wants to
contribute more than 100 or more than one time he can give at
any time.
• From any payment of more than 200,000 but less than 500,000
the rupee of 500 should be deducted to charge to flood relief
fund keeping in view the double deduction.

• From any payment of more than 500,000 the amount of 1000
should be deducted.
The amount is deducted by filling a deposit slip with the name of the
contributor to deposit in the account of flood relief fund (A/C No.3043).
For this purpose every MCO (Mobile Credit Officer) is given a deposit
slip book so that he can collect fund from the people during his visit to
the villages. And inside the bank, the accounts department makes it
sure to fill this deposit slip with every payment. The weekly report of
these funds collection is required to send to Regional Office. According
to the weekly report of last week of Ramdan, the Mian Channu branch
where I did internship was in the first position in the collection of fund
in the whole zone of Vehari.

Writing of Vouchers
Vouchers are the important evidence of all the transactions takes place
in the bank. In the accounts department of ZTBL it is the back bone,
every transaction of bank with reference to cash required a voucher to
be drawn against it.
The vouchers are of three types:
1. Debit Voucher (Receipt of Amount)
2. Credit Voucher (Payment)
3. Transfer Voucher
1. Debit Voucher
Debit Voucher is used when bank received any amount from anyone.
The example is of deposited amount by the depositors, the payment of
loan by the loanee etc.
2. Credit Voucher
It is used for the payment of any amount by the bank to anyone. Like
the cheque drawn on bank, the expenses of bank itself etc.
3. Transfer Voucher
As the name shows it is used when the amount is required to transfer
from one head to another. The example is the transfer of utilities bills
accepted by the bank to the respected utilities provided company
(Mepco, PTCL etc.). The transfer of return to the income account of
bank, it is also used when the loan is sanctioned so it is required to
transfer amount of loan to the loanee account.
Another use of transfer account is to correct mistakes in the ledger, for
example if an account is mistakenly debited in place of another
account. So the transfer voucher can be written to credit the first
account and debit the second one to correct the mistake.
In the end of day all the vouchers written during the day is required to
be write down in the daily Scroll (which will be discussed later on) and
then all the vouchers of day is sewed and then sealed so that no new
84
Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010
voucher can be placed or removed from the record. These vouchers
used to store in record room and they keep piling up there.
Every voucher has at least two copies, one for the customer and one
for the bank record. For easy recognition the vouchers are made of
different colors.
• Debit Voucher (Have three copies and in white color)
• Credit Voucher (Have two copies and in blue color)
• Transfer Voucher (Have two copies and in yellow color)

Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010
The debit voucher for the deduction of With Holding Tax from the cash
withdrawal of more than 25,000 will be filled in the following way.
First the name or branch, its code and the date is required to write.
Than the information from whom this tax is collected, his name, father
name, his village and city name will be written. After that in the
particulars it will be written “A/O of With Holding Tax” and in the GL
Head (General Ledger Head) the head number of “With Holding Tax”
(which is 3056 in the ZTBL) will be written. The amount will be written
after calculating .3% of withdrawal amount. In the total the same
amount will be written again and then this amount will be written down
in words. In the last the signing authority will sign in.
In this voucher of W.H Tax only a few columns of the voucher is used,
the other columns can be used for other types of transactions. The
explanation of each column is given below:
1: Particular:
In particulars the reason of the transaction is written down. For
example, Amount of Recovery etc.
2: Loan Case no./ Account no./ Advice no.
If the voucher is of recovery than in this column the loan case number
of the loanee who has come to pay loan will be written. This column
has 6 blocks to write, due to shortage of space these block can’t be
shown in the above sample of voucher.
Loan Case no./ Account no./
Advice no.

3: G.L Head (General Ledger Head)
It is the General Ledger Head which is required to debit. These are
standard heads used in the entire branches of ZTBL. Like 3056 is the
G.L Head for W.H Tax, it will be same when any branch of ZTBL will
collect this tax from his customer.
4: T.R Code
This code is rarely used for debit and that is why I don’t have complete
information about it. In the recovery voucher this column is used, when
MCO collects the cash than I used to write 14 and when loanee himself
87
Internship Report on Zarai
Taraqiati Bank Ltd.
2010
comes to pay loan I used to write 15 in that place. So, it helps when
the voucher is recorded in the computer room to understand the type
of transaction.
Like, in the credit voucher I was asked to write 01 code for all the
expenses of the branch and 02 for the expenses of the Zonal Branch.
So, it helps computer to understand the type of transaction. These
codes can be different in different banks.
5: R.O Code
Originated/Respond code is used to show that whether a transaction is
originated or responded. For example in the W.H Tax example the
word “O” will be written in this column which will show that this debit
voucher is originating this transaction. And when this amount will be
transferred to the respected head in that voucher the word “R” will be
written which will show that this voucher is responding to any
transaction.
6: Effective Date
It is the date on which the amount is received. It can be different from
the date on which the voucher has been written down. For example, on
13 September an MCO is on a tour to the villages which are under his
circle; during his visit he collects recovery of 100,000 from someone.
He will issue receipt to the loanee as evidence that MCO has collected
cash from him and on the next day (14 September) when he will come
to the bank that MCO will deposit cash as a recovery in the name of
that loanee. Because the cash has been collected by him a day before
the voucher of recovery is written down so the effective date on
voucher will be 13 September while the date of Voucher in right upper
side column will be the date of 14 when the voucher is written.
Why the effective date required? The answer of this question can be
understood from the above example. The loanee has paid the MCO on
13 September, while the amount is deposited by the MCO on 14
September. So, no interest is required to be charged for the day of 14
September because the amount has been already collected a day
before. If the effective date will not be written than there will be
discrepancy between the amount collected by MCO and the amount
calculated in the accounts in the time of writing voucher because the
88
Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010
amount calculated in the accounts department will include the interest
of one more day than collected by MCO.
7. Amount
This column used to write the amount, it is also divided into many
blocks so that when write any amount it will be easily readable later
on. Like the first block in Rs. Column from right side is for figure of
hundred and the next block is of thousands.

8. Contra Voucher/Contra Branch No.
This column is used when we are responding to some other voucher or
branch. During my internship I have used it once time. One of the
customer of a bank has received tractor in the Benzir Tractor Scheme
but the company failed to deliver the tractor on the agreed upon date.
And it is a contract between the bank and the company that when
company will not deliver the tractor on the agreed date, it will be
charged with the penalty of 150 rupee per day. So, the bank had a
claim on the company of rupee 25,000 due to late delivery to the
customer. The company has transferred this amount to the bank
account, so definitely the bank has a voucher written against it. Now
this penalty is in the bank account which it has to transfer to the
customer who has faced difficulty due to late delivery. So, when I
transferred the amount from bank account to the customer’s account I
was actually responding to the first voucher created with which the
amount was transferred from company to the bank account. So, I was
asked to write the voucher number of that first voucher in the column
of contra voucher of new voucher with which I am transferring amount
to customer’s account so that in future when any one need to find out
89
Internship Report on Zarai
Taraqiati Bank Ltd.
2010
that from which reason the account of the customer is credited, he can
easily find the contra voucher number from the voucher written to
transfer amount to the customer account. And when he will open the
contra voucher number, he will find that the amount was transferred
by the company as penalty to the bank account.
So, in short it is used when we are responding to any other voucher or
branch. The Exact view of contra voucher/contra Branch No. and
Record no./CA Code are the following. These two head come under the
main head of Sundry/Suspense & Central A/C only which is not
displayed in the voucher sample due to shortage of space.

Record number is the number of the entry in any contra voucher to
which we are responding. A voucher can have many transactions
written on it as you can see that there are number of rows available in
the voucher to write on. So, giving contra voucher number is not the
only thing we need to write to give exact reference, we also need to
give reference of Record no. of that particular transaction in that
voucher. And CA code is used when we are responding to any Contra
Branch No.
10. Rupees in Words
Rupees in words are compulsory to fill so that to avoid any mistake in
writing amount in numbers and also to avoid any misconception in
future.
11. Encl (Enclose)
Enclose is number of receipt if any attached with the voucher. Like if I
want to write a credit voucher to pay some employee who has bought
stationary for the office use so I will attach the receipt of the stationary
he has bought from the shop with the voucher and I will write (1) in the
enclose so whenever anyone will see the voucher he will know that
there is a receipt attached with the voucher.
90
Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010
12. Signatures
There are three spaces available to sign in the voucher. These spaces
are for the person:
• One who has prepared it
• One who has checked it
• And signing authority who passes this transaction
But I have not seen anyone signing the first two places, the only
signature place is used is of signing authority because it is compulsory.
Both Debit and Credit vouchers have same columns and lines to write
on. But the transfer voucher is different from these two, it has the
same columns and lines but it is divided into two parts. Upper side is
for the debiting an account and in the down side is for crediting an
account. Because when we use to transfer amount from one account to
another account than there should be one account which is required to
debit and the other account should be credited to complete the whole
entry. The sample of Transfer Voucher has been given in the next
page.

Daily Transaction Scroll
Daily transaction scroll is written by operations officer every day in a
bank. It is the record of all the cash inflows, outflows and transferred
on a particular day. Both cashier and operation officer writes his own
scroll at the end of day when they have to close the cash. The closing
balance in both these scrolls must be same otherwise there are some
transactions which have not been recorded correctly either by the
cashier or the operation officer.
If I will divide the page of scroll than the following are the important
columns and part of it:

The above are the sketch of columns used in the upper side of scroll
page. Sheet number is used when there are more vouchers to write
and they cannot be written on a single sheet so the next sheet is
required to use in such situation the number of sheet should be written
so that they can be arranged in a proper way.

The above view is of the rest of the page where all the vouchers are
recorded. The sheet is divided into two sections the left side part is
used to write the debit and credit vouchers and their amounts, while
the right side is used to write the debit and credit of transfer vouchers.
The above is the example of writing of different vouchers. The first two
vouchers are debit vouchers that are why I have written the amount
(11,000 and 500) in the debit column. The 2 nd voucher name is not
written completely which is an ease which can be used if the same
serial is going on and only the last number is changing. The third
voucher is a credit voucher and its amount (5,000) is written in the
credit side in front of it. The fourth voucher is representing a transfer
voucher so its effect will be shown in the right side of the sheet. In both
Debit and Credit column of the right side of sheet is filled with the
same amount because in transfer voucher one account will be going to
be debit and the other will be credit so the net effect will be zero.
In the end all the amounts of all the vouchers are totaled in their
respective columns. Like in this example the debit vouchers total
amount is 11,500 and the total of credit vouchers is 5,000. The debit
and credit side of transfer vouchers side will always be the same,
which are 4,000 in the example. After getting this total the next step is
to calculate and write the closing balance.
1. Opening Balance
2. Debit Balance
3. Total Balance (1 + 2)
4. Credit Balance
5. Closing Balance (3 –
4)
400,000
11,500
411,500
5,000
406,500
To calculate the closing balance first step is to write the Opening
Balance which is absolutely the Closing Balance of last day. Here in the
example I have assumed it 400,000. After it the debit balance will be
written in the 2nd row and in the 4th row both 1st and 2nd row will be
added to get the total balance. Now the credit balance will be written
and to get the closing balance the credit balance is required to deduct
from the total balance of 3rd row.
To close the cash, this closing balance should match the closing
balance in the books of cashier. When comparing with the cash scroll
of cashier the Total Balance, Credit Balance and then Closing Balance
94
Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010
all should be similar otherwise there will be something which is skipped
during writing even by the Officer or by the cashier.
When closing cash, in the end of this scroll sheet the number of total
debit, credit and transfer vouchers is required to be written so that
nothing can be added or erased from the above scroll by any one.
Number of
Vouchers
Debit
2
Credit
1
Transfer
1
Total
4
As you can find that in the above given example of scroll, there are two
debits, one credit and one transfer vouchers have been written so the
same number is written in the ending column of scroll sheet.
Making Entries in the Ledgers
In ZTBL the record of current accounts and loans are manually
maintained. There are many records which have been computerized
but still the hand written ledgers are used. Making entries in the
Ledgers requires simple concept of debit and credit. However the
understanding of banking practices are required so that to follow the
exact way of recording any transaction because usually the column
written on the ledger books are not used for the purposes for which
they are made. The employee usually has established their own way of
writing transactions in the ledgers the way in which they feel easy. I
have found many columns unused in the ledgers of Sada Bahar Loan
Scheme or they have been used to write other information which is
different from the heading of columns.
Disbursement and Recovery Entries
When a loan is sanctioned and ready to disburse it is recorded in the
respected ledgers. I am here taking example of SBS (Sada Bahar
Scheme) which is a revolving finance scheme. Every loanee has a
unique Loan Case Number which is the base of all the record of his
loan. When a loan of SBS is sanctioned its amount is not transferred to
the current account of the loanee like it is used to transfer in the AZS
(Awami Zari Scheme). In SBS the Loan Case Number is used for all
types of transactions, when a loan is sanctioned it is recorded in the
SBS ledger with the name of loanee and Loan Case Number is used as
an account number from which he can operate.
The information which is required to write in the ledger sheet when a
new loan has been passed and ready to disburse are following:
95
Internship Report on Zarai
Taraqiati Bank Ltd.
2010
• Loan Case Number
• Name
• Parentage
• Address
• CNIC
• Maximum limit
• Date of maturity
• Cheque book number
After entering the above information the loan can be disbursed to the
loanee when he desires. Because almost all the customers of ZTBL are
low earning farmers and they require immediate cash to meet their
expenses so they draw a cheque on the bank on the same time when
their loan is entered in the ledger book. In SBS farmer can withdraw
the amount till he has reached maximum limit and the return will only
be paid on the amount which he has taken out as a loan.
The entries of disbursement can be easily explained by taking an
example that the loan has be sanctioned and it is recorded in the
ledger now loanee want to withdraw the total sanctioned amount of
50,000. The entry of this transaction will be in the following way at 0101-2010:

After four month a computerized outstanding balance report of all the
loans is given to each branch, it is called “OBL (Outstanding Balance
Ledger)”. The bank also adds return to the principal amount of each
loan case, like it is shown in the date of 31-04-10. (The interest rate on
SBS is 9%)
Now suppose that loanee has reached bank on 01-05-10 and he wants
to pay 20,000. The entry is shown in the date of 01-05-10. It is rule in
the bank that when the bank recovers any amount from the loanee
than first return amount will be reduced and then the principal will
reduced. Here in this example, the loanee wants to pay 20,000, so first
interest will be deducted which is 1480. To pay return we will credit it
with 1480 and then the principal will be credited with the remaining
amount (20,000-1480=18,520) as shown in the above diagram. Due to
this payment the principal is also reduced to 31,480 and because the
total return has been deducted that is why the total outstanding
amount is also 31,480.
(It is routine in the bank to check the total outstanding amount in the
ledger with OBL before receiving any recovery. This is a precaution
because the handwritten and manually calculated ledgers can have
mistakes so checking it with OBL make it sure that they are not
receiving less amount from the customer.)
Revolving SBS Loan
Now suppose a situation where loanee wants to pay his entire
outstanding loan and then wants to withdraw it again. This usually
happens when the MCO want to achieve his recovery target or the time
period of one year is completed from the date on which the loanee has
withdrawn the amount. It is compulsion for every loanee to return his
entire loan at least once in a year, if he will not pay his loan within one
year, he will be treated as defaulter and he can withdraw only 90% of
sanctioned amount from his running SBS finance.
But in SBS the default situation is rarely occurs because when the limit
of one year is near to end, the loanee can revolve his loan by paying
only interest of the loan. This can be explained by continuing the last
example, on 01-05-10 the loanee has paid 20,000 and his remaining
outstanding balance is now 31.480. Now suppose he comes again on
97

Because the loanee wants to pay the total outstanding amount, the
first thing to do is to calculate return on the last outstanding principal
balance. Because the loanee has already paid some part of principal on
01-05-10 due to which the principal has been reduced from 50,000 to
31,480. Now the return will be calculated from 01-05-10 to 01-06-10
(31 days) at last outstanding principal balance of 31,840.
(31,480 * 9/100 * 31/365) = 241
I have debited this return calculated and it has increased the total
outstanding to 31,720. Now the next step is to obtain all the
outstanding amount of principal and interest so that the account can
be closed and again revolved on that day. In the 2 nd entry on the date
01-06-10 I have credited all the principal amount and the balance of
principal became Nil and the same I did with the return, I have credited
the total balance of return and its balance also became Nil. Because
both principal and return balance is now Nil that is why the total
98
Internship Report on Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd. 2010
outstanding amount of loan is also Nil now and the Account is closed
on that situation.
Now the loanee wants to revolve his account so he will again draw a
cheque on the bank of any amount with in his sanctioned limit, in this
example I have assumed he again wants to get the total amount out of
it. So, I have again debited the amount which has increased the
principal balance and then total outstanding balance to 50,000.
These are just entries in the ledgers absolutely the loanee will have to
follow some procedures to revolve his account. Usually MCO of the
loanee asks to revolve the account and then vouchers are written and
entries are made in the ledgers and then these vouchers and entries is
passed by the AMO otherwise no payment or recovery is made.
The vouchers need to written when revolving an SBS loan accounts are
following:
• A debit recovery voucher of full outstanding amount including
Principal and Return.
Whenever an account is fully paid it is practice in the bank that
write the return collected on this account on the upper right
corner of the voucher, it helps the other employees in the end to
transfer it to the Income Account of bank and also to prepare
weekly report on recovery.
• Another debit voucher of With Holding Tax will also be filled if the
amount loanee wants to again withdraw is more than 25,000
• A debit voucher of revolving fee (100 rupee for SBS)
• A credit voucher will be written in the end of the day against the
cheque drawn by the loanee
• A transfer voucher which is used to transfer the Return recovered
on the loan to the Income Account of the bank.
Actually in revolving an account the loanee pays only the interest
amount, revolving fee and W.H Tax if any. The principal is adjusted
against the new disbursement of loan.
99
Internship Report on Zarai
Taraqiati Bank Ltd.
2010
For example:
If 51,000 is total outstanding balance (50,000 principal + 1,000
returns) and loanee wants to revolve the account, he will have to pay
the total outstanding amount first and then he can withdraw again the
principal of 50,000.

1250 is the amount which loanee will pay only and his loan will again
be revolved to a new maturity of one year. In this way revolve benefits
the two parties, one is loanee who has to pay a nominal amount and
he obtains a new maturity date. The second one is MCO who can show
that he has recovered the loan which helps him in achieving his
recovery target.

Opening and Closing Cash
In the beginning of every day the cashier opens the cash in time. The
cash remains locked in the safe and it requires two keys two open. One
key is always remains with the cashier and the other key remains with
the manager; however manager can further gives it to someone else.
In the branch where I have completed my internship, the AMO has the
second key.
Key Register:
It is a register which have information about the keys of the safe.
Whenever a person gives the key to someone else, he writes in the key
register the name of person who has received the key and that other
person signs it. Usually the keys remain with the cashier and another
officer of the bank but when one of them is on leave it is required to
give responsibility of keys to someone else because during their
absence the cash of bank can’t remain closed.
If there is any mishap the person who has keys according to key
