Limitations of this Report

I had to face some limitations at the time of preparing this report. The present study was not out of limitations. But as an intern it was a great opportunity for me to know the banking activities of Bangladesh especially IFIC Bank. Some constraints are as follows:

• First, one of the major limitations is the shortage of internship period. Since three month is not enough to know everything of a Bank, so this report does not contain all the area of IFIC Bank Ltd.
• Second, Because of the limitations of various sources of information the report doesn’t contain many important information and data. All scheduled commercial bank regulated by the instruction do central bank. Most of the instructions are confidential to the commercial bank. So, I was incapable to provide valuable information.
• Third, Due to time limitation; many of the aspects could not be discussed in the present.
• Fourth, every organization has there own secrecy that is not revealed to others. While collecting data they did not disclose much information for the sake of organizational confidentiality.
• Since banks personals were very busy they could provide me very little time.

Everyday it receives deposits from the customers and meets their demand for cash by honoring cheques.

Credit and Advance

Banking is essentially a business dealing with money and credit. Like over other business activity, Banks are profit oriented. It depends mainly on how much profit they can make. Profit is the yardstick for the bank to move on. They work as reserves of “savings’ of the community and also as lenders or investors for trade business and industry. A bank invests its funds in many ways to earn income. The bulk of its income is derived from loans and advances.

Banks give loans and advances to traders, businesspersons and Industrialists against the security of some assets or on the basis of the personal security of the borrower. This is the survival unit of the bank because until and unless the success of this section the survival is a question to every bank. If this section is not properly working the bank may become bankrupt. This is important because this is the earning unit of the bank. Banks are accepting deposits from the depositors in condition of providing interest to them as well as safe keeping their interest. Now the question may gradually arise how the bank will provide interest to the clients and the simple answer is advance. Why the bank provides advances to the borrowers –

• To earn interest from the borrowers and give the depositors interest back
• To accelerate economic development by providing different industrial as well as agricultural advances
• To create employment by providing industrial loans
• To pay the employees as well as meeting the interest groups

Credit is continuous process. Recovery of one credit gives rise to another credit. In this process of revolving of funds, bank earns income in the form of interest. A bank can invest its fund in many ways. Bank makes loans and advances to traders, businessmen, and industrialists. Moreover nature of credit may differ in terms of security requirement, disbursement provision, terms and conditions etc.

Bank often uses loans and advances as an alternative to one another. But academically this concept is incorrect. Academically Advances is the combination such items where loans is a part only. For this credit section of the banks is known as advance section. It is the main profit source of the Bank. Banking business is like all other profit-oriented business. It depends mainly on how much profit they can make. Profit is the yardstick for the bank to move on. Banking is a business that deals only with money and credit. Banks are profit oriented. They invest their fund in many to earn income. Huge amount of income derives from loans and advances. Banks makes loans and advances to traders, businessman and industrialists against the security.

Security against Advances

The different types of securities that offered to a banker are as follows:

4. Pledge of Goods, produce.
5. Hypothecation of goods, produce and machinery.
6. Fixed assets of manufacturing unit.

Modes of Charging Security

A wide range of securities is offered by banks to cover for loan, in case of borrower’s inability to repay, the banker can full upon the securities. In order to make the securities available to the banker, in case of default by customer, a charge should be created on the security. Creating charge means marketing in available a cover for advance. The following modes of charging securities are applied in IFIC Bank.

 1.      Lien

A lien is right of banker to hold the debtor’s property until the debt is discharged, bank generally retain the assets in his own custody but sometimes this goods is in the hand of third party with lien marked. When it is in the hand of third party, the third party cannot discharge it without the permission of bank. Lien gives banker the right to retain the property not the right to sell. For sell, permission from the appropriate court is necessary. Lien can be made on movable goods only such as raw materials finished goods, shares, debentures etc.

 2.      Pledge

Pledge is also like lien but here bank enjoys more right. Bank can sell the property without the intervention of any court, in case of default on loan, but for such selling proper notice must be given to the debtor. To create pledge, physical of goods to the bank is must.

 3.      Hypothecation

In this charge creation method, physically the goods remained in the hand of debtor. But the documents of title of goods are handed over to the banker. The method is also called equitable charge. Since the goods are in the hand of borrower, bank inspects the goods regularly to judge its quality and quantity for the maximum safety of loan.

 4.      Mortgage

Mortgage is transfer of an interest in specific immovable property. Mortgage is created on the immovable property like land, building, plant etc. most common type of mortgage is legal mortgage in which ownership is transferred to the bank by registration of the mortgage deed. Another method called equitable mortgage is also used in bank for creation of charge. Here mere deposit of title to goods is sufficient for creation of charge. Registration is not required. In both the case, the mortgaged property is retained in the bank of borrower.

Advanced Against Approved Shares 

Credit facilities to be extended against shares will be called “Investment Scheme against Shares” Advance may be allowed against shares of companies listed with the Stock Exchange Ltd. Subject to margin or any other restrictions imposed by Bangladesh Bank/ Head Office of the bank from time to time. Value of shares and margin should be worked out as per guideline issue from time to time by Bangladesh Bank/ Head Office of the bank.

Advanced Against Fixed Deposit Receipts

1. Fixed Deposit Receipt

Advance against Fixed Deposit Receipt will be subject to credit restrictions imposed from time to time by Head Office/ Bangladesh Bank. Scrutinize the Fixed Deposit Receipts with regard to the following points:

1.           i.            The fixed Deposit Receipt is not in the name of a minor.
2.         ii.            The depositor on revenue stamp of adequate value discharges in hand his signature is verified.
3.       iii.            Creation of liability on Fixed Deposit issued in joint names by any one of the depositors is irregular.
4.       iv.            It the deposit receipt is offered as a security for allowing advances, a letter of line shall be obtained from the depositors, on the appropriate form.
5.         v.            If the deposit receipt has been issued by the branch-allowing advance, line against that specific deposit receipt to be marked in the fixed deposit register of the branch.

Source: Affairs as on 1/9/2011

 Number of different Accounts amount maintained by this Department

Comments: The industrial loan amount in 2011 is very high rather than 2010 because the interest rate is low in 2011. For this reason people influence to take loan. But on the other hand the other loan amount in 2010 and 2011 is similar. Because the 2010 and 2011 interest rate are similar.

Findings , Analysis & Recommendation

Findings

• By the help of the report, we have to know that the number of current account holder is lower than the saving account holder. But for a bank the main benefit comes from the current account.

• For a bank another very important department is Remittance department. By the help of the report, we know that in 2010 the remittance income is very good. But in 2011 its amount is very poor.

• By the help of the report, we have seen that the loan department is very important for the bank. Because a large amount of income is collecting by loan. But the loan taking tendency is some time low and some time high in IFIC Bank.

• By the help of the profit and loss account, we finds that in 2011 the profit was 782596909, in 2010 it was 511615898 and 2011 it’s amount is 1030801793. So basically we see that the profit contains fluctuating system.

• Sometimes clients open their accounts for loans if they are not granted for the loan then they immediately wants to close their account which is very troubling to the staffs , but this type of clients are few.

Analysis

Basically I have tried to Analysis on the base of findings. This are given below:

• At first, we will analysis the bank account. Because in findings we know that the current account is poor than savings. But its very important to increase the current account. For this reason the account opening officer must be careful and very polite for the customer. On the other hand account opening table may be separate.

• Secondly we will analysis the Remittance department. In findings we see that the remittance income is gradually poor. For this reason the remittance officer must be careful and providing better service though the customer back next time.
• Thirdly we will analysis the loan department .in findings we see that the loan taking is some time low and some time high. We see that the loan against provident fund amount was 5000000 and the demand loan amount was 150000 in 2010. But in 2011 it is 4695714 and o. so we analysis that the loan against PF and Demand loan amount is higher in 2010. Because in 2010 the interest rate is lower. On the other hand the other loan amount in 2011 is higher then 2010 because in 2011 the interest rate is lower. So the bank should be careful to the loan interest, though the general public taking any types of loan.
• Finally we will analysis the profit and loss account. Because in findings we see that the profit of 2011 is better than 2010. Because we follow that the total operating expanse is lower in 2011 than 2010. For this reason the 2011 profit is increases than 2010. On the other hand in 2011 profit is higher than 2010 and the operating expanse is higher in 2011 than 2010. But the total operating income is higher in 2011 than 2010. For this reason the 2011 profit is higher. So the IFIC Bank should minimize the operating expanse and maximize the total operating income.
