Work done by me in HBL ACCONTS OPENING DEPARTMENT: In this account department I gain the particle knowledge about opening. This department deals with opening account and saving account for its customer and all matters regarding there off. The customer opening account/saving accounts can be categorized as following: 1) individual 2) firm 3) company 4) trust 5) staff 6) others OPENING AN ACOOUNT: In order to open an account first of all the customer has to fill a form prescribed by the bank. The person is required to bring some reference or introduction for opening the account. Introducer may be a person who has an account with HBL. Some important information regarding introducer e.g. the name and account number of the introducer is written on the space provided on the specimen signature cards. Then in order to find out whether he is a true introducer or not a letter is sent to him thanking him for this introduction, so that any thing wrong may come into notice. There are different requirement for different types of accounts and account holders. An important thing is that the customer should have a corporate customer. The corporate customer limit is 40 million and this branch always deals the corporate customer. General rules for opening an account: One person can open only one account in the same branch with the same category. In the event of death of an account holder the credit balance will be transfer to the heirs of the diseased individual account.

Account may be transfer from one branch to another same branch without any charges etc. DEPOSIT DEPARTMENT “Deposit are the blood of a Bank” I worked in this deptt for one week and learned that the acceptance of deposit is the real source of income of a bank. Deposit Department is the backbone of commercial banking. Deposit is often used to describe the money which customers of all kinds leave with the bank. Deposit account can be defined as an account, which is opened to earn interest. The term deposit is highly misleading. It is not something deposited for safe deposit box. Bank deposit is not like that; when one brings currency to the bank for deposit the bank does not put the currency in the vault. It may put small fraction of the currency in the vault as Reserve but it will lend most of deposits to someone else. The entire banking system is based upon borrowing. Like all banks, deposit department has acknowledged its worth as the most important. Almost all the operations generated from the deposit department and with due course of time reflect back to the deposit department. In order to attract funds bank has introduced various types of deposit schemes that may suit the need and tastes of a large number of depositors. TYPES OF DEPOSIT FACILITY: Deposits are broadly classified into the following three categories: i) Demand deposits ii) Saving deposits iii) Time deposits The procedure undertaken upon receiving deposits from the customer is as follows: 1) Examining the deposit slip to ensure that the name and the account numbers are clearly indicated. 2) Counting the cash/cheque and agree the total with the amount on the deposit slip. 3) After that the pay-in-slip is validated for cash transaction/ transfer/ clearing transfer as appropriate before the counterfoil a handed over the customer. 4) Cheque assigned by the director, partners, employees of a company, drawn in favor of themselves and credited in their account in the bank are to be scrutinized WITHDRAWALS: An amount can be withdrawn by the cheque. The withdrawals can be made only at branch where the account is maintained. All cash withdrawals will be made under account holder‟s full signature. One or two bank officers have to verify the signature. In current account the bank does not offer any interest. We can deposit and withdraw any amount during the banking hours. ISSUANCE OF CHEQUE BOOK: The account holder requests for a new cheque book by presenting the requisition slip along with the authority letter to the concerned officer. His signature was verified before giving him the new cheque book. One or two bank officers have to verify the signature REMITTANCES DEPARTMENT: I work in this department for one week; this department deals in transfer of money from one place to another or country by: 1) Demand draft 2) Mail transfer 3) Telegraphic transfer In this department internees are advised to observe the working of transfer of money from one place to another place or country by the above mode of transferring money. During my stay in this department I observed that how demands draft be issued. The procedure is as follows: First a bank receives a request from the customer to issue a bank draft. The written request is either in a banks standard from or separate paper signed by the applicant with cash or cheque covering the amount of the draft and other charges of the bank. While issuing a bank draft it is necessary that they should be free from alternations. All the details must be written clearly in ink. After issuing a demand draft it is handed over to the applicant and it advice containing the particulars of the draft is sent to drawer branch with it is necessary information and payment of the draft is made on its presentation or according to the terms and condition of the mode of transfer.

Gross profit Margin: Gross profit margin increased from 7% to 9.1% in year 2005 due to decrease in cost of goods sold while cost of goods sold decreased mainly due to substantial drop in prices of cotton in year 2005 in addition to this, Lower power & fuel consumption cost is one of the reasons supporting cost efficiency and effectiveness, consequently leading to higher gross profit margin in year 2005. Operating profit: Operating profit increased from 15.214M (1.5%) in year 04 to 24.786M (3.4%) in year 05 mainly due to carry forward impact of lower COGS happened due to lower cotton prices during the year under review. Net margin: The profitability shown in the financials is tax tailored, actually their net margins fall between 5 to 6 %. There is no significant improvement in net margin, in terms of percentage because of high financials cost during the year, as the same has improved to 0.5% from previous 0.4%. Debt Service Coverage Ratio: Debt service coverage ratio stands at 1.5x & 1.2x in year 04 and 05, the main reason for relatively lower Debt to service coverage is lower profitability shown in books which are more often tax-tailored.

In addition to this the amount of cash also includes PKR 74M lying in escrow account of Bank Alfalah as sponsor‟s equity because the company is under process of expansion for which they have also gone for consortium finance from BAL & ABL. Sufficient stock at lower prices is inevitable for profitability in textile industry; prices of cotton went down in early 2005 which prompted the buyers to stock cotton in order to maximize gains. Receivables have been nominal over the years, which highlight company‟s policy of sales on cash basis. Receivables stand at 7.566M in year 05 as compared to 16.361M. The current liabilities increased from 244.565M in 04 to 342..120M in 05, this increase is mainly due to increase in short term debt (Exposure of Working capital lines from banks) and this factor is very much obvious due to increase in company‟s operations. More precisely, the short term borrowings were raised by PKR 100M, during the year under review, and the same has been invested in inventory which increased by PKR 100m fully complying the matching principle requirement. LONG TERM LIABILITIES: Total Long term liabilities increased from 62 .513M in 04 to 139.797M in 2005, mainly due to increase in Director‟s Loan as the company is under process of expansion (new Ring spinning unit) and has made investment of its share through directors loan as authorised capital of the company has been matured.
