1. Introduction to the Report
Internship is a process by which a student learns to perform the work basically in the connected
field. This is a way through which a person or a trainee fold skill about the related subject
practically and be able to apply his/her theoretical knowledge in the field of actual life action.
Internship provides a chance for students to share theory with practice and more provide as a
short-term work group for that organization that has right to join in the internship program. As
the classroom discussion alone cannot make a student perfect in handling the factual situation,
therefore it helps the students to get an accustomed with the real life situation through this
program. The internship program fulfils its mission of capable a student for his or her important
professional and executive positions in the public and private sector. This program and final
report will make possible the student to balance theoretical ideas taught in the classrooms and
share this with the real business environment.
Internship Program of IUBAT is a compulsory requirement for the BBA students. This study is
a requirement of the Internship program of BBA program at the IUBAT. This subject is 9 credit
hours course and duration is four months. This report will be prepared for Prof. Dr. Khair Jahan
Sogra, Professor& Dean, college of Business Administration (IUBAT). The main purpose of
internship is to get the student exposed to the job world. Being an intern the main challenge was
to translate the theoretical concepts into real life experience.
The internship program and the study have following purposes:
I was assigned to the DHAKA BANK LTD, Sonargaon Janapath Branch, Uttara. I`ve completed
my internship there from 1st September to 30th November under Mrs. Sumaiya Tabassum,
Senior Officer (In Charge Credit Operation). I have selected the topic “An analysis of loan
products, procedures and its performance at Dhaka Bank Ltd"

1.1. Research Aims

how they disburse loan and finally an analysis on their nonperforming loan. A detailed
study on that and make Considerable recommendation if needed.
The primary objective of the study is fulfilling partial necessities of Bachelor of Business
Administration degree. However, Specific objective are given below.
DHAKA BANK LTD, Sonargaon Janapath Branch, Uttara, the scope of the study is only
Limited to this branch. This report covers the activities of the DHAKA BANK LTD. In the,
Sonargaon Janapath Branch, that includes the scope of this report is limited to the overall
description of the company, organizational setup, functions, its services, investments, finance
and advances and its financial performance analysis. I collected information for preparing a
report on “An analysis of loan products, procedures and its performance at Dhaka Bank Ltd". I
hope the report will give a clear idea about the various types of loan of Dhaka Bank Ltd and the
scenario of their nonperforming loan.

Lack of co-operation of respondents.
It was hard to collect the information relevant to my report, because the people of this
Bank were too busy with their own task that they cannot be able to give me much time.
Limitation of time of respondents was another barrier.
As this report is based on primary sources, so there might be some inaccuracy with
those collected information.
Lack of secondary information.

3.1 Credit & Loan Management of DBL
The loan and credit department is one of the most important departments of any bank. The money
mobilized from ultimate surplus units are allocated through this department to the ultimate deficit
unit (borrower). Success of this department keeps a great influence on the overall profit of a bank.
Again, Failure of this department may lead the bank to huge losses or even to bankruptcy. Like
any other bank Dhaka bank’s credit division also tries to do their job perfectly.
But in DBL most of the lending officers are not familiar with their written credit policy or lending
guidelines. They have got only some oral instruction from the senior management or in charge of
credit. If all the lending officers of DBL thoroughly know and understand their credit policy it will
be very helpful for them to do their job more efficiently.

Million BDT
From the graph, it is to be clear that the nonperforming loan amount of Dhaka Bank Ltd. in 2014
was BDT 5657 million. In the following year the amount went down but still it was higher at 5491
million comparing to previous year. But in the year 2017, the amount of nonperforming loan was
increased at an alarming rate, 9209 million BDT which was almost double the amount in 2016.
That means the bank is in under high risk.
The scenario is much worse when it is compared with the total loan. The following table shows
the five years data relating the total loan against the NPL.

The figure shows the scenario that almost 5% of its total loan is nonperforming loan. These loans
are like a burden to the bank as they are not generating any revenue to the bank. There might be
some factors bank has to look up to minimize the nonperforming loan. These factors somehow
impact the loan performance of the bank. They are:
38
Political Influence: Though the officials informed that there is no political influence in the lending
decision making process, there is a suspect of having acute political pressure in this issue.
Politically biased decisions lead the loans towards being default and the banking sector towards a
vulnerable position. The fraud borrowers are very cunning and they make webs for the people who
are associated in lending as well as auditing and reporting process. Sometimes the loan department
sent proposal to Head Office as negative but the higher authority made that positive and approved
the loan in favor of the client. Loan department and branch manager assumed that the client could
be harmful for the bank and made the proposal negative. But due to the link with high officials and
a political party, the client became successful to get loan. So, political influence or pressure has an
important impact on the banks loan department.
Incomplete Sanction Advice: Sometimes the loan department sends proposal with incomplete
information of the borrower with false document to the Head Office and based on that HO also
issue incomplete sanction advice in favor of the client.
Providing Extra Benefits to the Client: Another bad practice are found in the bank is providing
extra benefit to the clients. Here the meaning of extra benefit can be defined in different ways. For
example, a client’s collateral may not enough to get certain amount of loan but getting more than
that, which may fall short in terms of retuning the loan if the person is unable to repay the loan.
Investment in Risky Project: The branches have business target to fill up every year. And over
the years the competition has increased so much. To survive in the competitive market, banks try
to find out different projects where they can invest and get a healthy return. Where there is good
return there is also high risk. Investing in high risk projects could make the banks profitable as
well as looser sometimes.
Fund Diversion: Fund diversion is one of the main problems in Bangladeshi banking sector which
becomes more crucial over the years now. Banks disburse the money directly to the clients account
and the clients can do anything with the money they want. They took loan from bank for doing
business but if they spend money in any unproductive purpose such as invest in share market, buy
cars, purchase land, and spend without any goal then the fund becomes diverted. Fund diversion
makes the clients unable to make return to repay the loan thus the loan fall ultimately.
39
3.8 Corporate Governance Disclosure of Dhaka Bank Ltd
Dhaka Bank Ltd disclosed their Corporate Governance compliance provided by Bangladesh bank
that all the banks must follow. All the credit policies of the bank must be approved by the board
of directors. Top management and chief finance officers formulate the credit policies and the
policies are approved at board meeting. Sometimes bank failed to communicate their credit
policies down the line. In order to make the policies efficient and effective, all the associated
officials must know the policies very well. Here the bank lagged behind to communicate their
credit policy with down the line properly. But often it`s found sincerely maintain the policy. The
credit policy of the bank must reflect the roles and responsibilities of all related officials such as
who make proposal, who analysis the loan applications, who disburse loans, who supervise and
monitor clients and who recover the loans. From the questionnaire survey it was found that credit
policy show specific roles and responsibilities of the associated people but in the casual discussion
it was observed that the assigned people do not do their duty properly. As a result, the bank`s
nonperforming loans are increasing day-by-day. DBL follows the Credit Risk Grading.
Relationship managers search for the loan clients and that is why they may be biased about their
clients. To remove such problem relationship managers should be separated from investment
department. In case of lending, age of the borrower should be considered as well. If the person is
more than 60 years the bank tries to avoid that person from lending. Collateral is very important
for the banks for recovery purpose in case of nonperforming loans. The bank has separate teams
for reviewing the amount and type of proposed loan, purpose of the loan, the loan structure (i.e.
tenor, covenants, repayment schedule, and interest rate), security arrangement etc. The bank
officials informed that there is no political and management influence on credit department. But
there`s a deep suspect that huge influence is present in credit department. From the survey it`s
clear that bank has acute pressure. Officials from bank informed that the efficiency of audit team
is important in case of detecting fraud and scam. The audit committee must disclose the detected
scams to the board of directors to take necessary steps. Sometimes the audit committee has nothing
to do because of political and management pressure. From the discussion it was found that conflict
of interest exists between the board of director and audit committee. An invisible clash between
them were found in some cases i.e. the audit committee tries to detect shortfalls but some members
of the board want to ignore those shortfalls.

4.1 Internship Experience:
As for the partial fulfillment of the BBA program I have done my internship program in DHAKA
Bank Ltd, Sonargaon Janapath Branch, Uttara Dhaka-1230. It was great pleasure for me to work
in this bank. I have learned so many things from this bank. All of the employees were very
cooperative with me. I was working mainly General Banking and Credit Department. In this
branch my Supervisor was Sumaiya Tabassum. I worked under her supervision.
42
Monthly Deposit Scheme (DPS)
Cash section
Generally intern students are not allowed in cash department but I have the opportunity to work in
cash dept. for several days. I have assisted them in many ways like counting cash & voucher,
photocopying documents. Most of time I was assigned in cash for arranging money for ATM.
Clearing Section
My responsibility was to ensure account number, account holder name, the accuracy of Tk. in
figure and in words which were properly stated in bank’s cheques. After confirming those cheques
were sent to my senior officer. She was responsible for entry to the computer and completing other
tasks.
Receiving Cheque Requisition
A cheque requisition is received from the customer for giving a new cheque book covering a
specific number of pages mentioned by customer. I received the cheque requisitions throughout
the day and sent the list to the head office at the end of the day.
Desk pass
After learning the procedures of account opening I was appointed to for 2-3 days in the desk pass
of GB. All the documents both inward and outward go through this desk. The responsibility of
this desk is to mark all the documents and give those documents an official desk pass number
and send those documents to appropriate places.
Cheque book Delivery
After giving cheque requisition customers need to wait for their cheque book. After cheque
requisition normally it takes four working days to delivery cheque book to respective
customers. After that customers need to collect their cheque book from our branch.
Cheque book Issue:
When customers come to collecting their cheque book, they need to sign it in the register book.
After that I issued their cheque book and give it to them. After issuing cheque book they can use
their cheque book at any time when they wish. But it has to be in between transaction hour, which
is 10am to up 4pm
Update customer’s information
I had to update customer’s information. Customers who opened their bank account before, some
of them need to update their information and also photo, address, transaction profile, NID card no.
etc. and I had to collect all information from the customers.
43
Photocopy & Scanning of Different Documents
When I opened an account, I needed to collect different documents from customers such as NID
Card, TIN Certificate, Birth Certificate, Trade License, Photo etc. So I needed to photocopy and
scan those documents for banking purpose. After that I print it and return the original copy to the
customers.
Issuing Pay Order
Clients need to issue pay order for handover money from bank to company or other purposes.
Procedure for issuing Pay Order:
Obtain Pay order application form filled accurately by the applicant
Receive the amount in cash /transfer with charge amount
Issue pay order by printing on the banks pay order block
Preserve the voucher
Card Service
I worked some days at card related work in Dhaka Bank Limited. I did the following activities
in card divisions-
Filling up the debit card form
Help client to signature on the form
Making phone call to clients to collect debit card from the bank.
At Credit Division:
Most of the time in my intern period I have spent in credit department and that’s why I prefer The
Loan related issue as my internship report topic. Firstly I was assigned in credit dept. more than 1
month under direct supervision of Sumaiya Tabassum and at that time I have to perform below
activities-
Printing, typing and photocopying different documents related credit.
I had to organize all the customer files (e.g. car loan, home loan) & keep them at a specific
place separately.
Checking and filling up different loan’s forms
Data entries in the computer.
Helping clients that where to signature on the form.
Sometimes helping supervisor balancing credit & debit.

Observation
Working at DBL, Sonargaon Janapath Branch was a great experience for me. I have learnt many
things from them. From my little knowledge what I have observed and some recommendations are
as follows:
Work environment is very friendly and employees are co-operative.
Employees are active and sincere to their assigned job responsibilities.
Generally, banking hour is 10.00 am to 6.00 pm but most of time bankers can’t leave office
before 8 to 9 pm because of work pressure.

5.5.1 Research Philosophy: I use data only for preparing this practicum report that data I have
collected from organization doing my internship period. Even I do not share the data with other
that I collected from organization. This philosophy of this practicum report is positivism because
I would like to find positive result and if I find out any problem, then I will try appropriate
suggestion to recover the problem.
5.5.2 Research approach: Physical survey method. I did the survey by going from person to
person.
5.5.4 Method of data collection: For the completion of this report I have collected the data
from both primary and secondary sources.

5.7 Research Findings
The findings of the analysis and interpretation are as follows:
50% people are disagreed & 30% people are agreed & 20% people have no
H1
comments. So, there might be some negative impact of borrower selection criteria
but it may not affect the loan performance.
Though the officials informed that there is no political influence in the loan process,
H2
there is a suspect of having acute political pressure. As 70% of people are agreed so,
it`s clear that political influence has a negative impact on bank`s loan performance.
As 80% people are agreed & 10% people have no comments so, it can be concluded
H3
that management has influence on bank`s loan performance ad it is negatively
impacting.
As 50% people are disagreed & 20% of the people have no comments so it`s can be
H4
summarized that insufficient audit has no effect on bank`s loan performance.
As 70% people are agreed & 20% people have no comments so, it`s can be concluded
H5
that fund diversion has effect on bank`s loan performance.
58
5.8 Recommendations
1. Although borrower selection criteria has no impact on bank`s loan performance here in
Dhaka bank ltd but it can be an serious issue if the selection process become faulty. Then
the whole loan process can be faulty too. So in case of selection of right borrower, the bank
should be knowledgeable and aware of the information of the borrower that is proper KYC
(Know Your Customer).
2. Though the bank doesn`t say it officially but there is an acute political influence in bank`s
loan department. Politically influenced decisions lead the loans towards being default and
the bank towards a vulnerable position. So, they shouldn`t be biased on political influence
in the loan process as the rate of default loan of Dhaka Bank is on the rise. Some tricks can
be implemented to minimize the influence as it`s not possible to get rid of it completely.
3. Management has the same influence on the loan process just like the political one. The
management influence in the credit decision making process and this leads the bank
towards default loans. So, the management should not influence the decision process of the
loan for the betterment of the bank`s performance. Qualified and Honest person should be
selected for the management posts.
4. Proper auditing is the main tool that can led the bank in a smooth way. But the audit process
cannot be made properly for various reasons. Proper auditing should be done at least twice
a year regarding the credit value of the branch to minimize the risk.
5. Fund diversion is the major problems in bank`s loan performance and most the default loan
occurs due to this problem. Fund diversion makes the clients unable to make enough return
to repay the loan thus the loan fall ultimately. So, strong monitoring and supervision is a
must to prevent fund diversion. Proper follow up till the end can be a solution to fund
diversion.
59
5.9 Conclusion:
This research aiming at the disclosure of the reasons for which loan performance of Dhaka Bank
Ltd is not well. The data gathered from mainly primary sources were analyzed to get a clear view
of the facts and by the same time some reasons were discovered which has some negative impact
on bank loan performance. To achieve the objective the study includes quantitative analysis of the
survey data to get opinion of the employees of the bank and also five years annual report of Dhaka
Bank Ltd. There are some problem exist as the nonperforming loans are increasing yearly due to
not maintaining the corporate governance which is mainly affecting the loan performance and
increasing nonperforming loan for the bank. If this problems can be solved then the rate of the
nonperforming loan of Dhaka Bank Ltd will be minimized. It can be said that loan performance
will be improved significantly over the next year if the recommendations are followed accordingly,
it will enhance corporate image, improve reputation and ability to enlarge market share and
enhancement, profitability and sustainable development. So hopefully they will try their best to
bring a dynamic corporate governance environment in the organization without any compromise.
