Introduction of KMBL
Micro-finance:
Microfinance refers to a variety of financial services that target low-income clients. Since the
clients of microfinance institutions (MFIs) have lower incomes and often have limited access to
other financial services, microfinance products tend to be for smaller monetary amounts than
traditional financial services. These services include loans, savings, insurance, and remittances.
Microloans are given for a variety of purposes. The diversity of products and services offered
reflects the fact that the financial needs of individuals, households, and enterprises can change
significantly over time, especially for those who live in poverty
KMBL Was established in June 2008 with a vision to become Pakistan’s leading microfinance
bank serving all to become a prosperous, equitable and poverty free Pakistan. KMBL offers a

Lending products:

Internship report on kmbl
Kmbl can provide the running finance for the business to the applicant to boost up their business
without the hurdles of any finance. To get this loan the applicant age is from 21 to 60.
The applicant business duration limit is minimum 6 months. The bank can charge the mark up
only on used amount and it also has insurance facility. Applicant has to provide the computer id
card copy and copy of utility bills
Kmbl can also provide loan on gold ornaments to facilitate its customer and they can fulfill their
finance needs. The documents required are the same that can be used in the other financing loans
The bank can charge the mark up only on used amount and it also has insurance facility.
Applicant has to provide the computer id card copy and passport size pictures.
Clients requiring loans below Rs 500,000 cannot obtain access to formal financial sources, since
such amounts are still too small for commercial banks. A quick estimate can show that the
potential market for small enterprises is about 6 million with a negligible outreach to such
entrepreneurs by the banking and the microfinance sector as a whole. Kashf targets fast moving
small entrepreneurs through the BSL the entire methodology of which is based on a credit
scoring model. The BSL is advanced to clients with a minimum of 2 years running experience of
their businesses and has no collateral requirements. Generally the loan has a minimum
processing time of less than 5 days.
Insurance
Credit for life insurance has been a popular product amongst Kashf clients, since economic
upheavals are a regular part of their lives. Kashf was one of the pioneer organizations to
introduce life insurance for poor clients in order to deal with emergency periods such as the
death of a bread winner. This service is provided to the client and her spouse at a minimal
premium. The insurance covers all outstanding loan balances plus a small burial payout at the
time of the death of either party. This means that the family is able to cope with the
consequences of such an event and faces no liabilities at that time. This is in stark contrast to the

exploitative lending practices of the traditional money lender, where the burden of repayment of
the loan is transferred to the remaining family members.

PEST ANAYLSIS
The countries in which banks are running their operations are strongly affected by the political and
legal considerations. Political and legal structure of a country is composed of regulatory agencies and
government law, which influence and limit various organizations and individuals. Habitually county
changing political environment create new opportunities for business.
There is a political instability in Pakistan, so the countries laws and policies changes continuously,
13
Internship report on kmbl
Economic
Employment
Inflation
Illiteracy
The main risk for bankers is the declining value of Pakistani currency. Whenever our currency value
depreciates, it decreases the foreign reserves of banks and liabilities increases. There is a continuity
changing situations in
Interest rates
Labor policies
In Pakistan, Inflation is very high which will decrease purchasing power.
Staff cost is increasing as basic wage rate has increased.
Operating costs are increasing due to inflation.
Interest rate is increasing so loan taking has decreased.
Value of rupee is decreasing which is pressurizing the economy.
14
Internship report on kmbl
Cost of doing business in Pakistan is increasing day by day so business activities are badly
affected and in return it has bad effect on working of Banks.
Social
Society is shaped by norms, values and believes. Social factors often look at the cultural aspects and
include health consciousness, population growth rate, age distribution, changes in tastes and buying
patterns. . So understanding changes in this area can be vital. Banking sector is very important for the
well being of the society such as the bank activity participating in the Prime Minister self
employment Scheme.
There is lack of experts in our country concerning management so for this reason innovative
activities are slow and conventional methods are adopted.
Pakistani people have very luxurious life style as compared to their income; people don’t
prefer to save money so culture is not very supportive for banking sector.
Cultural strain to savings is the reason due to which investment remains low.
Decline in work ethics which is mainly due to poverty, lack of training.
Inadequate Accountability, lack of good governance and lack of good infrastructure helps
creditor to cheat and heavy bad debts occur. Same situation is hoped to prevail.
Inadequate Empowerment is also a usual problem in our organization as every person
Want to get more power hence there is less delegation of authority and decision making.
Technological
Advances in technology have a major impact on banker’s success. Technology is vital for competitive
advantage. The changes in technology have greatly affected the banking sector of Pakistan. So we can
say that PEST Analysis is a perfect tool for the managers and policy makers that help them,
in analyzing the forces that are driving their industry and
How these factors will influence their banks and the whole industry in general.
Technological management has helped the Bank in providing multiple delivery channels to the

Account opening is the basic procedure which creates a relationship between a customer and a
banker. When a customer opens his/her account it increases the business of the bank and worth of
the bank. Banks open different types of accounts for their customers according to their
requirements. Customers may be
Individuals (Single or Joint),
Firms (partnership/proprietorship),
Limited Companies,
Local Bodies.
22
Internship report on kmbl
I learned a lot about the account opening procedure and requirements during my internship
period. It’s an establishment of contractual relationship between the bank and the customer.
Further I am going to express the steps involved in the opening of an account.
There are a number of rules and regulations that are followed in banking, and requirements
Checked before opening an account for people similarly kmbl like all other banks in Pakistan
make sure whether the person who is going to open the account in the bank is a desirable
customer or not. After that kmbl determines the integrity, respectability, occupation and the
nature of business of the perspective customers through the introductory references which is
provided at the time of account opening. This initial investigation of the people asking for
account is important to conduct carefully because if it is not properly done may result serious
consequences not only for the banker concerned but also for other bankers and general public.
All the necessary information which bank wants to know about customer is written in the form.
• Copy of CNIC
• Copy of CNIC of all the partners
• Request letter of account opening
• Company letter head
• Copy of registered certificate (if registered)
• Signature specimen duly attested
After all these requirements, the authorized officer attaches two signature specimen forms called
SSC (Signature Specimen Card) and one requisition form. On which the authorized officer put
his/her signature and pasted signature admitted and verified and bank stamp on it.
23
Internship report on kmbl
Along with this form the copy of CNIC and a VeriSys form and form known as (KYC) is
attached with it. At the last a separate file is maintained for each of the customer for bank’s
record.
• Copy of CNIC
• Salary slip
• A letter from employer
• Initial deposit of Rs. 1000
• Photo copy of utility bill
• Copy of CNIC
• Initial deposit of Rs. 1000.
• Photo copy of utility bills
For withdrawing amount from account, a cheque book is provided by the bank to the customer.
When all the documents are checked then a cheque book is issued to the customer. The customer
brings the letter of thanks and gives to the authorized person. The person fills the check book
requisition slip for the customer and takes his signatures. Then the authorized person saves that
slip in his record and fills another slip and customer is asked to come after 5 days.
A cheque book contains 10, 25, 50or hundred leaves. There is a requisition slip in the cheque
book for the issuance of the new cheque book. This slip is duly filled and signed by the customer.
Bank verifies the signature of the customers and new cheque book is issued and serial numbers
of the cheque are entered in the book of the bank. Customer also has to write his full name and
address.
24
Internship report on kmbl
Only one cheque book is issued at a time, however big concerns who need a number of cheque
books at a time, may ask the bank to stock as number of cheque books in their name and to point
their name on these cheque books.
Bank has a separate register for recording Cheque book inventory and cheque books issued.
Account number and the number of leaves are also recorded in this register. When the cheque
book issued an entry is passed in the cheque book issue register. The officer takes signature of
the customer and put a verify stamp on it with his on signature.
Customer has the authority to close his account. For this customer has to submit an application
for closing the account.
Then the account is closed out. Account balance is paid to the customer. Cheque book is returned
back to bank. Officer cancels the remaining cheques in cheque book.
Nearly all the banks provide a wide variety of services to their depositors. Clearing also plays an
important role in performing the activities of the bank. The basic function of clearing is to
provide services to customers in collection of their cheque of other banks, whether they are in
city or outside the city. The customer can get the money in his account at kmbl from the cheque
drawn on another bank. The bank accepts the cheque in the clearing which it is drawn through
the clearing house i.e., SBP.
“ Clearing is the transfer of funds from one branch of bank to the other branch of the same bank
or the other bank on which the instrument is drawn, without involving cash through “State
Bank’s clearing house” or we can say in other that cheques which cannot be cash at the cash
counter of the bank.”
25
Internship report on kmbl
Types of clearing
Outward clearing
Inward clearing
Outward clearing:
Similarly cheques which are drawn on other bank and presented to kmbl my branch are known as
outward clearance for my Branch. So outward clearing results in inflow of funds from paying
bank into the clearing account maintained with clearing house increasing the balance in the
clearing account.
In case of outward clearing the customer give cheques for collection and receive deposit slip. In
clearing register the details about the account title, account number, amount of transaction,
drawee bank and instrument number is written. Then different stamps are put on the instruments
and deposit slips such as crossing stamps, clearing stamps and endorsement stamps. The amount
of these cheques is credited to the customer’s account but if the cheque is returned it is again
debited along with cheque. Then all these cheques along with the summary /delivery report (2
copies), bundle cover, clearing and add list are attached together and all this put in a bag. NIFT
representative come daily after the bank timing to take this bag to the branch of kmbl. Officer
after checking cheques, make badges in the system and credited the customer’s account.
Inward clearing
Cheque drawn on kmbl, presented to other Banks or handed over to kmbl in clearing house. That
is inward clearance for Kashf micro finance bank. So inward clearing results in outflow of funds
to collecting bands reducing the balance in the clearing account.
Cheques are brought daily in morning to the branch. Officer debit the amount from the account
after checking the following,
Signature specimen
Account balance
Proper discharge
26
Internship report on kmbl
Date etc
If the cheques are passed but if the cheque is not passed then it is returned along with cheque
return memo in which reason is written why cheque is returned. All the transactions are recorded
in a register for keeping banks records. At the end officer makes badges in the system and
debited the customer’s account.
Inter city includes big or major cities of Pakistan like Islamabad, Lahore etc. it is also recorded in
the same clearing register but to differentiate intercity stamp is used. Then these cheques are sent
in special envelop provided by NIFT to the main branch. The cheque is usually cleared in third
day.
In Gujrat Branch of kmbl the intercity clearing is considered out of the Gujranwala district. All
the cheques which are received from other banks but are outside the Gujranwala district are
considered in the intercity clearing. Like cheques from Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi are
considered in the intercity clearing.
Transfer cheques: transfer cheques are those cheques, which are collected and paid by
the same branch of bank.
Transfer delivery cheques: transfer delivery cheques are those cheques, which are
collected and paid by two different branches of the same bank situated in the same city.
Clearing cheques: clearing cheques are those cheques, which are drawn on the branches
of the other banks located in the same city or in the same area. And which is covered by a
particular clearing house.
Collection cheques: collection cheques are those cheques, which are drawn on the
branches of either the same bank or of another bank, but those branches are not in the
same city or they are not the members of clearing house
27
Internship report on kmbl
Function of Clearing
Another important function is to arrange the payment of cheque drawn on the branch and
given for collection to any other branch of kmbl or any other members, or sub-members
of the local clearing house.
Remittance is the monitory transfer from one place to another place or from one country to
another country to fulfill the requirements of the customers by the order of the customer, through
legal means.
Remittance can be either domestic or international. Remittance can be divided into two sections
due to its activities.
Types of Remittance
Inward Remittance:
The branch receives the instrument directly from the customer or from the originating branch,
and is responsible to pay to part is called inward remittance.
28
Internship report on kmbl
Outward Remittance
The branch, which issue or sold the instrument to the responding branches, called outward
remittance.
Parties:
Functional Importance
Remittance is cheap as compared to other modes of remittances i.e. money order. Normally any
amount can be remitted through banks. Important source of earnings i.e. commission, service
charges, and FED. The risk involved in physical transportation of money is eliminated. It’s a safe
and secure method of making payments to others.
Modes of Payment
29
Internship report on kmbl
DD is just like cheque and issued when the customer does not want to take cash with him
personally. DD is just to avoid the risk and burden of currency notes in huge quantity. Demand
draft easily be handled, whatever amount it has and the money can easily be taken from the bank,
when it is presented. In fact, to avoid the risk of frauds, the bank forces the customer to transfer
money by drafts. Drafts are issued only when the bank knows customer and bank has the
confidence in him.
Pay Order:
Pay order is a written order issued by the bank drawn and payable on itself. Customer must have
the account in pay order issuing bank. Pay order are more liquid as compared to cheques because
cheques may be dishonored while PO can’t be. Pay order is used for local transfer of money
from one person to another person.
If a regular customer wants to make DD or PO then in this case, customer has to fill up a
form. This form is known as “FUNDS TRANSFER FROM” on making this DD/PO
In the form all the mandatory places are compulsory to fulfill. Like, currency of
instrument, type of remittance, beneficiary details, particular of applicant, applicant
signature etc. these are such requirements that must be fill up.
And at the last the authorized officer puts his/her signature on DD/PO form and three
stamps are pasted on it;
a) Transfer stamp
b) Signature verified stamp
c) Crossing check stamp (in case if half payment is made through cash form, then a
check is fill up for this and attached with the DD/PO form)
And at the last the operational manager puts supervision on this and all the records are
transferred into computer for bank records. And at the final stage, all the transactions are
recorded in a register for keeping banks records.

Cash department provides different facilities to the customers such as receive cheques, receive
cash, pay cash, online transactions, collect bills etc. cash department maintains following books.
When cash is received at the counter, an entry is made in the Scroll Book and Receiving Cashier
Book. These two are balanced with each other at closing.
When the cheque or any negotiable instrument is presented at counter for payment, it is entered
in the token book and then token is issued to the customer. After that the token clerk and the
Cashier make entries in the paying book and payment is made to payee. Then the Token Book
and Paying Cashier Book both are balanced at the closing.
The consolidated figure of receipt and payment of cash is entered in the cash balance book and
then drawn closing balance of cash.
In Cash department customer after filling up the cheques give it to the authorized office. The
following information is required for further proceeding of the cheque.
The consolidated figure of receipt and payment of cash is entered in the cash balance book and
then drawn closing balance of cash.
This section of general banking is very important because cash is the most liquid asset and

Internship report on kmbl
When I started my Internship I was a little bit confused as it was my first chance to do practical
work in any organization. But with the help and cooperation of the staff of the kmbl Gujrat
Branch, I learnt a lot about the banking field and tried my level best to get the maximum output
from the time available to me.
I gained a number of skills that will be beneficial for me in my future career some of these are
During my internship period I have worked in various departments of the bank like account
opening department, remittance department, cash department, clearing department. I learned the

Internship report on kmbl
By working in all these departments I enhanced my knowledge. I also observed that how
different rules and regulations are too much important for the efficient working of the
organization and how each and every person perform his role in making an organization
prosperous.
Internship provides opportunities to experiment and purse careers that match academic and
personal interest. Planning about the career is always difficult as there are many doubts regarding
different possible opportunities and it is really difficult for the students to select the best possible
place for their future job because they do not have enough knowledge about different work
settings, they do not have the experience that can provide help to them in attaining the best
possible job alternative. So in this situation internship programs provides great help and gave the
students and the people who are looking for jobs for the first time, the opportunity to select the
best field in which they can show their full potential, can better utilize their skills and
knowledge, and most importantly that matches and suits to their temperament .
Universities provide opportunities to teach you the theoretical knowledge, that will be
implemented in your future practical life but there is great difference in theoretical and practical
knowledge that is why students face difficulties in the real situation in adjusting in the
practical environment of the organization. So being a student I encountered different sorts of
problems that was challenging for me.
I am always interested to get job in banking sector. But do not know what tasks bankers do, their
duties, timings etc. By this internship my doubts vanished. Now I have a clear vision about my
future. This internship brings a great change in me. I have learnt punctuality and the significance
of time in an organization. I have realized that time management is the most important element at
working environment. My practical learning has taught me to prioritize and organize my work
according to schedule that enabled me to complete my tasks in the allotted time.

Internship report on kmbl
My personal view about banking environment is that it’s a very good and safe for females. I
critically analyzed the banking sector as a whole and I can openly say that banking sector
provides conductive environment for career growth. After completing my education I will look
forward to join a well reputed bank like kmbl because I feel that the banking sector is where I
can better utilize my academic and personal interests.
Choosing kmbl for my internship was really a good decision and it created a big worth for me. It
was a very rewarding experience to work in such a disciplined organization with highly
experienced and cooperative staff. I really gained very beneficial knowledge about banking
during my 6 weeks internship and also enjoyed working with experienced and intelligent staff.

Threats

not properly placed for it.
39
Internship report on kmbl
This is the biggest that threat that many MFIs are facing. Because the excess of anything
is injurious, so in the same way the excess involvement of Govt. is a serious threat for the
MFIs.
Current economic situation of Pakistan is a threat for banking industry
Mergers & acquisition activities are getting fame in Pakistan day by day, and
consolidating the banking sector
Political uncertainty in Pakistan and poor law and order situation are also big threats for
the working of bank.
Cost of doing business in Pakistan is increasing day by day so it’s very hard to compete
with financial sector.
Political instability in Pakistan is also a great threat for operations of the bank
Strong competition in banking industry in Pakistan.
Deposit rates are increasing day by day
RECOMMENDATIONS
Kmbl is performing well, can be judged through its financial data and profitability ratios. Its
deposits are growing and also its profitability. Following are some recommendations and
suggestions for the better working of the bank.
Open communication should be there. In which every employee who has some problems
with his officers can communicate it to the higher management and some steps must be
taken to improve that.
There is no proper timing about the bank and unnecessary delay in transactions. Bank
should have to improve this for future prosperity of the bank.
Recruitment must be on merit basis and training should be after proper and extensive
training.
Old and lazy staff should be replaced by young and qualified staff.
Working environment, equipment, furniture and staff dressing should be according to the
modern banking style.
40
Internship report on kmbl
Bank should adopt the global organizational banking structure to meet the international
standards of banking sector.
Refresher courses for the staff are most important for them to increase and enhance their
knowledge.
CONCLUSION
KMBL has completed 5 years since its privatization, it is evident from its continuing success that
Kmbl is making progress by leaps and bounds. All of its success is purely based on its
management capability, its Directors and, in no small measure, to the entire KMBL team for its
dedication, concerted efforts and excellent team spirit.
Therefore, I conclude that KMBL has a very prosperous present and future, which assures the
shareholders of wealth maximization. There is always room of improvement in each and every
thing. No doubt KMBL is performing very well but I think that if bank would be able to cover
and control on the below mentioned recommendations then it would be in such a situation that
will really lead it towards the road of prosperity, development and integrity.
KMBL is performing well but some hurdles regarding customers and staff are also there. For the
proper working of the bank customers should also cooperate with the bank which will be really a
good, ambitious and diligent condition for the bank. Hence, KMBL can better perform and
position itself for to compete its competitors in the country.
