Introduction
1.1 Introduction
This report has a certain purpose to focus on the operations of “Remittance” of Janata
Bank Limited. Without any doubt Remittance catches the flash as it has great
importance in the balance of trade in economy. Banks plays a vital role in this
discipline.
This report is based on an internship program at Janata Bank Limited to gather practical
knowledge about banking activities. This is followed by practical experiences in the
Rajanigandha Super Market Branch Dhakaof Janata Bank Limited. Each intern must
carry out a specific project, in order to report on specific activity of the organization.
Consequently a report based on the projects is to be submitted to both the authority of
Janata Bank Ltd and the University. My topic for this internship report is “Remittance
Activities:Study on Janata Bank Ltd”. Janata Bank Ltd deals with almost every
activities of Banking but Rajanigandha Super Market Branch Dhaka has a special
involvement with remittance. So it is the main reason behind choosing this topic.
There were some problems while conducting the study. A whole hearted effort was
applied to conduct the study and to bring a reliable and fruitful result. In spite of this,
there exist some limitations, which acted as a barrier to conduct the study. The
limitations were:
Time limitation: It was one of the main constraints that affected covering all aspects
of the study.Very short time frame- the report had to be conducted in a short duration
(3 months).
Lack of Secondary Information: The Remittance data of Janata Bank Ltd. is not
much available over the net. Secondary source of information was not sufficient for the
completion of the report.
In many case the relevant authorities are not helpful to provide information.
The organization maintains strict confidentiality about their financial and
other information. They are afraid of any type of information leakage to
their competitors. So there was always difficulty to have appropriate
information from them.
The main difficulty of the study was insufficiency of current information
relevant to the study.
Consolidated data related to the study were not given due to time shortage.
All required information was not available in any specific branch of the
bank and there was also limited opportunity to visit more than one
branch.
Duration of the study was too short to find out the exact calculation from
the employee.
Scope of my study is so wide that analytical and comprehensive study is
not possible.
Lack of sufficient books, papers and journals etc.
Web site of the Organization isn‟t up to date to gather valuable information.
I have mainly focused on numerical data in preparing the report. Also I have used
theoretical portion as the demand of the report. Analyzing Remittance management of
a bank, both theoretical and technical knowledge are necessary for execution. Then
everything with accuracy, I have analyzed and made conclusion.
While conducting the study, sources were explored for primary information and data.
But hardly any updated data could be found. In the absence of updated information or
data dependence on secondary data has been inevitable. However, whenever possible
primary data has been used. Data were also collected by interviewing the responsible
officers and from some documents & statements printed by the Janata Bank Ltd. Janata
Bank Ltd. also helped me in collecting data providing books and Bank‟s annual
report.
a) Personal interview-Face –to-face conversation and in depth interview with the respective
officer of the bank.
b) Practical work exposures on different aspects of this field.
Secondary:
A. Annual report of JBL.
B. Relevant documents related to the study as provided by the officers.

History of Banking in
Bangladesh
The origin of banking, in the modem sense, is traced to Italy. The word “Bank” also
seems to have originated from Italy. The word Bank is supposed to have been
derived from the German word “Banck”, meaning a mound or heap (like a small
hill), from which Italians adopted „Banco‟. Others believe that the word bank has been
derived from „Bancus‟ or „banc‟ or „Banque‟ which means a bench at which the money
changers or mediaeval bankers used to charge one kind of money into another and transact
their banking business. The early banking was, however, closely associates with the
business of money-changing.
Bangladesh inherited its banking structure from the British regime and had 49 banks
and other financial institutions before the Partition of India in 1947. Bengal Bank,
the first British-Patronized modern bank established in India in 1784, had opened its
two branches in 1873 in Sirajganj and Chittagong of Bangladesh region. Thereafter,
another branch of Bengal Bank was opened in Chandpur in 1900. A number of other
branches of Bengal Bank were opened in this region and some branches had been
closed in Course of time. There were six other branches of Bengal Bank in operation in
the territory of Bangladesh until the Partition of British-India in 1947 and these
branches were at Chittagong (1906), Mymensing (1922), Rangpur (1923), Chandpur
(1924), and Narayanganj (1926).
Following the emergence of Pakistan in 1947, Stat Bank of Pakistan, the Central Bank
of the country, came into being in July 1948. Later, the National bank of Pakistan, a
strong commercial bank was set up in 1949. In all, 36 scheduled commercial
banks were in operation in the whole Pakistan until 1971. Pakistanis owned most of
these banks and only three of them namely, National Bank of Pakistan, Habib Bank Ltd.
and the Australasia Bank Ltd, had one branch of each in East Pakistan in 1949.During
1950-58, there other Pakistani- owned banks, Premier Bank Ltd., Bank of Bhowalpur
Ltd. and Muslim Commercial Bank, had Opened their branch in East Pakistan. Four
Pakistan-owned banks, the United Bank Ltd., Union Bank Ltd.(Note: the United
Bank Limited and Union Bank Limited were renamed
as Janata Bank. ), Standard Bank Ltd. and the commerce Bank Ltd. Conducted banking
business in the Province during 1959-1965.But all of them Had their headquarters in
west Pakistan. East Pakistan had only two banks Owned by local business groups white
headquarters in Dhaka. These were the Eastern Mercantile Bank Ltd. (Presently
Pubali Bank Ltd.) and Eastern Banking Corporation Ltd. (Presently Uttara Bank Ltd.)
established in 1959 and 1965 respectively.
In the beginning of 1971, there were 1130 branches of 12 banks in operation in East
Pakistan. The foundation of independent banking system in Bangladesh was laid
Bangladesh Bank has been entrusted whit all of the traditional central banking
functions including the sole responsibilities of issuing currency, Keeping the reserves,
formulating and managing the monetary and credit policy, regulating the banking system,
stabilizing domestic and external monetary value, preserving the par value of
Bangladesh Taka, fostering economic growth and development and the
development of the country‟s market.
Janata Bank Limited is the 2nd largest state owned commercial bank in
Bangladesh. Immediately after the liberation of Bangladesh in 1971, the erstwhile
United Bank Limited and Union Bank Limited were renamed as Janata Bank.
The rate of growth and development of banking sector in the country was extremely
slow until 1983 when the government allowed to establish private banks and
started denationalization process: initially, the Uttara Bank in the same year and
thereafter, the Pubali Bank, and the Rupali Bank in 1986.
Modern banking system plays a vital role for a nation‟s economic development. Over
the last few years the banking world has been undergoing a lot of changes due to
deregulation, technological innovations, globalization etc. These changes in the
banking system also brought revolutionary changes in a country‟s economy. Present world
is changing rapidly to face the challenge of competitive free market economy. It is well
recognized that there is an urgent need for better, qualified management and better-
trained staff in the dynamic global financial market. Bangladesh is no exceptions of this
trend. Banking Sector in Bangladesh is facing challenges from different angles
though its prospect is bright in the future.
Financial sector reforms to strengthen the regulatory and supervisory framework for
banks made headway in 2006 although at a slower than expected pace. Overall
health of the banking system showed improvement since 2002 as the gross Non-
performing Loans (NPL) declined from 28 percent to 14 percent while net NPL (less

Remittance Activities:
Study on Janata Bank
Ltd.
Now a day a modern banker must have to perform a number of ancillary services,
besides performing the two essential functions of accepting deposits and investing
its funds. Remittance of funds can be considered as one of the most important
ancillary service provided by a Bank. With a network of the branches spread over the
entire country banks are eminently suitable institutions for the remittance of funds
from one place to another. Bank remittance is safe, swift, inexpensive, and simple.
Bank takes the risk of theft or loss of customer‟s money in exchange of a very little
commission. Again, the reserve of foreign remittance plays a great role in national
economy. With various types of accounts maintaining in international branches and
coordinating international banks these foreign currencies are being carried sending
by non-resident Bangladeshis.

Money is sent from one branch to another branch within the country by following way-
Bank remittance may be categorized as-

On the era of globalization and free economy, business has changed its shape and has
spread all over world. Now a day, banking business has not been limited only within the
commercial banking; it spread with different types of money and finance related
business. Investment banking, merchant banking as a brokerage house, syndicated
business, correspondent banking, foreign trade, currency dealing etc. There is no
national or geographic limitation for the business. As the Bangladeshi citizens/
nationals are migrating all over the world, created scope/ opportunity for money transfer
business as a global phenomenon. In the post 9/11 era, national and international
regulators are more vigilant against Anti Money Laundering (AML) and Anti Terrorist
Financing, resulting appreciation for fund transfer through Bank and registered
Financial Institutions.
Previously, the educated and well-off class of the remitters (Expatriate Bangladeshis) used to
send money through banking as well as illegal channels, but the uneducated and so
called under-privileged class of the remitters generally does not have access to banking
channel and used to send money through illegal channel. Due to high service charges, the
underprivileged do not maintain account with schedule banks and cannot use the money
transfer facility of the banks. This unique characteristic of the remitters creates the
scope of operation for Financial Intermediates basically Exchange House Operations.
Importance: Demand for inward remittance has immense importance, because remittance,
the portion of international migrant workers earnings sent back from the country of
employment to the country of origin, plays a central/crucial role in the economy of
our country. At the same time with micro economic development process, as
remittance often provide a significant source of foreign currency, increase national
income, finance import and contribute to the balance of payment improvement.
These wage earners' remittance helps building external sector viabilities of our country.
Inward remittance is relatively less volatile source of foreign exchange. Expatriate
Bangladeshi workers remittance contributes immensely to the economy with strong
positive impact on growth, employment and Balance of payment.
Currently, inward remittance is higher than the combined flow of foreign aid
disbursement and foreign direct investment. Though increasing, the current growth rate of
remittance is still much lower than the total flow of migrants from Bangladesh.

In the case of in-ward foreign remittance the foreign currency is entered in Bangladesh.
Previously for transfer foreign currency the customer was must have an Account in
Bank like

having an Account in the respective branch or any Bank like- Janata Bank Ltd.

When the beneficiary comes to the bank then he/she will ask to the officer he has an
SRC- to Instant/Spot cash.
Then the officer of RGSM Branch will provide a form to fill-up. In this form the
beneficiary will provide following information-
Suppose Mr. S.M. Razib lives in Dubai. He wants to send money to his father by Janata
Bank Dubai Branch. But the problem is that his father has no Account in Janata Bank
Ltd. But his father has an Account in ABC Bank Ltd.
In this case the JBL Dubai Branch receives the money and sends SRC- TTR/
Payment Order (P.O.) massage to Janata Bank Ltd. Head Office (H/O), 110
Motijheel C/A Dhaka- 1000 to provide money on account of “Mrs. Habib & Sons”

Bank‟s Ltd. Rajanigandha Super Market Branch. Suppose the nearest branch of ABC
Bank Ltd is Janata Bank Ltd. Rajanigandha Super Market Branch.

Super Market Branch then the officer of RGSM Branch will receive the massage and
issue a Payment Order against the ABC Bank Ltd. Rajanigandha Super Market
Branch with the beneficiary‟s Account Name and A/C number.

issue.
Western Union is one of the most popular money transfer network in the world. About
40% transection of foreign remittance is done by Western Union.
So for better understand of this process here I explain about Western Union-
It is easy to receive money in person, just go to any of worldwide Agent locations .One
can find an Agent location in a variety of places, like Janata Bank Ltd.
Rajanigandha Super Market Branch, other banks, travel agencies, post offices,
airports, and currency exchange offices etc.
STEP 2: Identify
Simply give the Agent beneficiary‟s identification card (Like National I.D. Card or Passport)
STEP 3: Sign the Receipt
Review and sign the receipt that the Agent gives.
STEP 4: Receive the Money
If all the information is correct the Agent will give cash memo and the beneficiary
will collect money from the cash counter.

Union. Other companies also transfer money by the same way with the help of their
agents via internet within a short time.

4.18 Outward Foreign Remittance
When remittance is sending from Bangladesh to abroad like London then it is called
Outward Foreign Remittance. But Outward Foreign Remittance is highly restricted by
the Bangladesh Government. Only some especial branch of all Banks can send money
from Bangladesh to abroad under Bangladesh Bank‟s rules& regulation.
In Janata Bank Ltd. following branches are only responsible and involved with
outward foreign remittance activities.
a) Local Office Dhaka.
b) Foreign Exchange Branch, Bitul-Mukaram Dhaka.
c) JanataBovon Corporate Dhaka.
But Janata Bank Ltd. Rajanigandha Super Market Branch is not involved with these
types of activities.
Chapter-05
Strengths:
Janata Bank is a modern public Bank. It has more capacity to adopt new technology
when the environment will be changed. This JBL Rajanigondha Super Market Branch,
Dhaka as well as Janata Bank Ltd. has various types of strength elements. Such
kind of strength are representing below:
Second Largest bank of the country.
Wide network of 861 Branches across the countries.
Holds a sound reputation in the banking industries.
Sponsoring by the government.
Personalized services.
Sending money through Janata Bank Ltd is an easy and inexpensive process
Well connected distribution channel from Head Office to all branches.
Healthy correspondent relationships with foreign banks.
Weakness:
A weakness is a limitation or deficiency in resources, Skills and capabilities that
seriously impedes effective performance.
When I study in JBL Rajanigondha Super Market Branch, Dhaka some pro blem surface
to me those internal problems mention in the below:
Discouraging small entrepreneurs
JBL provides clean Import Loan to most of its solvent clients. But they usually do
not want to finance small entrepreneurs whose financial standing is not clean to
them.
Absence of strong marketing activities
JBL currently don't have any strong marketing activities through mass media
e.g. Television. TV ads play vital role in awareness building. JBL has no such
TV ad campaign. Although they do a lot of CSR activities compared to other
banks.
Not enough innovative products
In order to be more competitive in the market, JBL should come up with more
new attractive and innovative products. This is one of the weaknesses that JBL
is currently passing through but plans to get rid of by 2010.
Lack of Proper Motivation
The salary at JBL is very decent, but it lacks other sorts of motivation. Incentives
such as bonuses are given for acquiring a particular figure, but all in all these
are the only motivational factors.
Outdated Software and Hardware at JBL Rajanigondha Super Market Branch.
Some of the PCs in this branch have very outdated hardware which is very slow
and affects the customers and hence the performance of the bank as a whole. The
software themselves are pretty old – Flexcube is from 2003, Microsoft Office
XP is used. All of these prevent smooth operations.
Threats:
Rapid advance in computers and management information system.
Lack of E-Banking facilities.
Top management of giant.
Complex organizations cannot be authoritarian in the traditional sense and
be effective.
From the above discuss we can say that Janata Bank Limited is one of the largest
privatized Bank of the country. Overall Performance of Janata Bank Limited is
satisfactory. But to face challenges of Globalization, Janata Bank Ltd. should to
restructure its operation to improve as a first generation bank.
