1- Introduction to Report:
1.1Background Of The Study: The study is about the general operations and management of Allied Bank Limited Nawan Shehr Multan, and focuses on the online banking and ATM (Automated teller machine), which was conducted through interviews and having a complete watch of operations in the branch. Every student of BS Accounting & Finance (Department of Commerce) has to undergo an internship program of six to eight weeks in any organization to get exposure to the real time business environment and to know what sort of changes Technology brings in management activities. The real purpose of this internship program is to provide an opportunity to the students to see the practical applications of their background professional studies. The report is a reflection on my experience when I was internee in ABL, branch, Multan. Since its inception in 1942, ABL has maintained a steady growth over the sixty years span of its operations. After its nationalization in 1974, it was denationalized in 1991 and the employees became the owners of ABL, through the unique concept of ESOP (Employees Stock Ownership Scheme). 1.2Purpose Of The Study Purpose of the study was two pronged. 1.2.1 General Purpose:
To get acquaintance to the banking operations. To know what sort of changes IT brings in managerial activities. To see the application of our Professional studies especially.
Page 9
1.2.2- Specific Purpose: Specific purpose of the study includes. A partial fulfillment as a requirement for the completion of BS degree in Accounting & Finance. To objectively observe the operations of Allied Bank of Ltd in general banking. To make recommendations or implementation plans for the improvement of the operations of ABL in the light of our professional studies. 1.3Nature of The Study:
The study is critical in nature. It was conducted to investigate critically into the operations of Allied Bank Ltd and it also explains that how ABL provides facilities of online banking to its customers. The annual reports or the consolidation data of the Bank has not been focused in specific because it does not reflect on the operational performance of branches. However, they have been referred to as when and where required. 1.4Scope of The Study
The study covers two areas with its variables, which affects the operations of the branch directly, or indirectly. These two areas of variables are: Branch specific variable. Bank specific variable.
The branch specific variables are the variables under the control of the branch management and directly affect its operations e.g. Layout of the branch. Customers relations. Departments in the branch ATM
Page 10
The bank specific variables are those variables, which are not in control of the branch management e.g. History of ABL Services provided by ABL Role of ABL
1.5-
The banking business as we know it today is composed of three separate and distinctive principal functions these are: The acquiring of funds to invest and advances. The investing of such funds and advances (loans) in bonds. The servicing of such funds, such as providing of checking, saving facilities and the collection of draft, notes and cheques. These functions while deferring in detail of operations follow the same principles established hundreds of year ago by money lenders and exchangers. 1.6Meaning of Bank:
Some authors write that the word bank is derived from Italian word bancus OR banque which means a bench. Because in the old days the Jews were used to make banking settlements by sitting on the benches & to deal the exchange of money in the market place. When any one of them becomes insolvent means that he is unable to fulfill his requirements. Then his bench was destroyed by the customer & this practice given birth to the word BANKRUPT. Some other Authors are of the opinion that the word bank is derived from a German word back, which means Joint Stock Fund. & when the major part of Italy was occupied by the German then this word back was Italianized in to the word Bank.

Internship Report 2012 However, no confident record is available to believe upon. Therefore, we are not in a position to give any bounded meanings to bank inspire of all these we can define bank as follow.
The imperial dictionary defined a bank as An establishment for deposits & issue of money & also for granting loans discounting bills & facilitating the transaction from one place to another place. It is an institution, which deals with money. It buys & sells the uses of money.
In other words, we can say A bank is an institution for exchange of money, sanctioning credit, transferring funds by domestic & foreign bills of exchange. We can also say that it is a pipeline through which money moves into & on of circulation. Shortly & conclusively we can say that the Bank is an institution that facilitates the matters in which the money is involved. 1.7Meanings of Banking:
The Banking companies Ordinance, 1962 defines Banking as Banking means accepting for the purpose of lending or investment, of deposits of money from public, repayable on demand or otherwise and withdrawal by checks, drafts, order, or otherwise.

Internship Report 2012 Bux's Residence that was the first branch of Australasia Bank came into existence. It is these factors that have made it a Bank the rest look up to.
2.1- The Pre-independence History (1942-1947): In the early 1940s, the Muslim community was beginning to realize the need for its active participation in the fields of trade and industry. Since the late 1880s, Hindus had established a commanding presence in the areas of industry, trade and commerce and were especially dominating in the Sub-continent area. Banking, in particular, was the exclusive forte of Hindus and it was popularly and wrongly believed that Muslims were temperamentally unsuited for this profession. It was particularly upsetting for Khawaja Bashir Bux to hear that: Muslims could not be successful bankers. He decided to step-up to that challenge and took the lead in establishing this first Muslim bank by the name Australasia Bank Limited in Punjab, which was to become Pakistan in December 1942. The initial equity of the Bank amounted to Rs 0.12 million, which was raised to Rs. 0.5 million by the end of the first year of operation, and by the end of 30th June 1947 capital increased to Rs. 0.673 million and deposits raised to Rs 7.728 million.
2.2- Australasia Bank (1947-1974): A view of the building in Lahore that once housed the Australasia Bank branch, Australasia Bank was the only fully operational Muslim bank in Pakistan on August 14th, 1947. However, it was severely hit by the riots in East Punjab. The Bank was identified with the Pakistan Movement. At the time of independence all the branches in India, (Amritsar, Batala, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Delhi and Angra (Agra)) were closed down. New branches were opened in Karachi, Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Sialkot, Sargodha, Jhang, Gujranwala and Kasur. Later, the network spread to Multan and Quetta as well. The Bank financed trade in cloth and food grains thus, played an important role in maintaining consumer supplies during the early months of 1948 affected by riots. Despite the
Page 13
Internship Report 2012 difficult conditions prevailing and the substantial set back in the Banks business in India, Australasia Bank made a profit of Rs. 50,000 during 1947-48.
By the end of 1970 it had 101 branches. Unfortunately, it lost 51 branches in the separation of East Pakistan. But the Bank did well despite losing a lot of its assets and by the end of 1973 had 186 branches in West Pakistan.
2.3- Allied Bank (1974-1991): In 1974, the Board of Directors of Australasia Bank was dissolved and was renamed Allied Bank after the amalgamation of four banks. The first year was highly successful; profit exceeded Rs. 10 million, deposits rose by over 50 percent and approached Rs. 1460 million. Investments rose by 72 percent and advances exceeded Rs. 1080 million for the first time in the banking history. 116 new branches were opened during 1974 and the Bank started participating in the Governments spot procurement agriculture program. Those seventeen years saw a rapid growth for the Bank. Branches increased from 353 in 1974 to 748 in 1991. Deposits rose from Rs. 1.46 billion and Advances & Investments from Rs. 1.34 billion to Rs. 22 billion during this period. It also opened three branches in the U.K.
2.4- Allied Bank- A New Beginning: In November/December 1990, the government announced its commitments to the rapid privatization of the banking sector. Allied Banks management under the leadership of Mr. Khalid Latif decided to react positively to the challenge. In September 1991, Allied Bank Limited entered in the new era of its history a worlds first bank to be owned and managed by its employees. The 850 executives and 7200 staff members spread over 800 branches throughout the Pakistan established in high degree of cooperation and family feelings.
Page 14
Internship Report 2012 As a result of privatization in September 1991, Allied Bank entered a new phase, and became the worlds first bank to be owned and managed by its employees. In 1993 the First Allied Bank Modaraba (FABM) was floated. After privatization, Allied Bank became one of the premier financial institutions of Pakistan. Allied Banks capital and reserves were Rs. 1.525 billion; its assets amounted to Rs. 87.536 billion and deposits to Rs. 76.038 billion. Allied Bank enjoyed an enviable position in Pakistans financial sector and was recognized as one of the best amongst the major banks of the country. In August 2004, as a result of capital reconstruction, the Banks ownership was transferred to a consortium comprising Ibrahim Leasing Limited and Ibrahim Group. Today, the Bank stands on a solid foundation built over 63 years of hard work and dedication, giving it a strong equity, an asset and deposit base and the ability to offer customers universal banking services with more focus on retail banking. The Bank has the largest network of online branches in Pakistan and offers various technology-based products and services to its diverse clientele through its network of more than 700 branches.
2.6- Allied Bank (2005 to date): In May 2005, Ibrahim Leasing Limited dissolved and the company was vested into Allied Bank Limited. ALL the shareholders were issued ABL shares instead of the all shares held by them. An application for the listing of ABL shares in all the Stock Exchange Companies of Pakistan was made; ABL was formally listed and the Banks share trading began on the following dates i.e. Islamabad Stock Exchange August 8, 2005, Lahore Stock Exchange August 10, 2005 and Karachi Stock Exchange August 17, 2005. Today, all Allied Bank Limited shareholders can trade in the Banks shares at their will and the Bank stands on a solid foundation of over 63 years of its existence having a strong equity, assets and deposits base offering universal banking services with higher focus on retail banking.
2.7- Ibraheem Group Assumes Control Of ABL: Ibrahim Group, through its different companies and sponsors owns more than 75% of Allied Bank. The Group apart from interest in financial sector is engaged in manufacturing of yarn and polyester staple fiber, trading and power generation.

It may be recalled that the auction of 325 million additional shares as a part of reconstruction of Allied Bank of Pakistan was held under the chairmanship of the deputy Governor, State Bank of Pakistan, Mr. Tawfiq A.

9.7- Cash Department:
This is the most important and critical department in a Bank. There are two basic functions performed by the cash department. These are
9.7.1- Receipts:
An individual who has account in the Bank can deposit money in his account. For deposit of the money the individual has to fill the deposit slip in which the account holder writes his name, Account number, amount of the money both in figures and in words. After filling the deposit slip the Cash amount along with the deposit slip is submitted with the cashier. The cashier collects the cash and counts it and after verification the cashier stamps the deposit slip. One part of the deposit slip is given back to the customer and the other part of the deposit slip remains with the bank for the record purposes The cashier also record the deposits made by the customers in credit sheets daily. The deposits of all customers of the bank are controlled by mean of ledger account. Every customer has its own ledger account and has separate ledger cards in which his / her total record is kept. Bill collection is also one of the main functions of bank. Cashier has to prepare a list of bills serial number, a copy of which is to be sent to the corresponding organization.
9.7.2- Payments:
The procedure of clearance of a cheque or payments is as following. First of all the customer presents his cheque to the cashier the cashier records the account number and the amount, which is to be drawn. Then the cashier check the cheque number in the computer for the verification whether the account holder has such amount in his account which he is demanding or not. If the computer passes the cheque, the Passing officer signs the cheque and sent it to the cash counter then cashier pays the written amount to the customer and then in the end cashier records the amount paid in computer.

Some cheques are local and some are outstation. The institution N.I.F.T. provides the services in clearing the cheque. They send the different cheque to different banks. The N.I.F.T service is only in few cities, like Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi. The cheque of inter city is send through N.I.F.T. And where, the N.I.F.T service is not available so the cheque is sent through T.C.S. The clearance of cheque is informed through advice. Some cheque is not passed so they should return so Rs. 100 is deducted and if the cheque is intercity then the postage charges is deducted. For this purpose the Debit & Credit voucher is used. When the cheque is cleared the today stamp is required. Some cheque is drawn on ABL. This is called outward clearing. These cheques will be entered in the outward clearing register.
