Muslim Commercial Bank (MCB) unfolds 62 years of growth. MCB is not an overnight success
story. MCB Ltd formerly known as Muslim Commercial Bank Limited was incorporated by the
Adamjee Group on July 9, 1947, under the Indian Companies Act, VII of 1913 as a limited
company. The bank was established with a view to provide banking facilities to the business
community of the South Asia. The bank started corporate life in Calcutta on July 9, 1947. After
the partition of the Indo-Pak Subcontinent, the bank moved to Dhaka from where it commenced
business in August 1948. In 1956, the Bank transferred its registered office to Karachi, where
the Head Office is presently located. Thus, the bank inherits a 62-years legacy of trust in its
customers and the citizens of Pakistan.
The bank was nationalized in 1974 during the government of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. This was the
first bank to privatize in 1991 and the bank was purchased by a consortium of distinguished
Pakistani corporate groups led by Nishat Group. As of June 2008, the Nishat Group owns a
majority stake in the bank. Founded in 1948, Nishat Group is one of the leading and most
diversified business groups in Pakistan. The group has strong presence in the most important
business sectors of the country such as banking, textile, cement and insurance.
Mian Mohammad Mansha is the Chairman of the group (and also MCB) and has played
instrumental role in its success. In recognition of Mr. Manshas contribution, the Government of
Pakistan has conferred him with "Sitara-e-Imtiaz", one of the most prestigious civil awards of the
country.
During the last fifteen years, the Bank has concentrated on growth through improving service
quality, investment in technology and people, utilizing its extensive branch network, developing
a large and stable deposit base and managing its loan book through improved risk managementprocesses.
MCB is Pakistans fourth largest bank by assets having an asset base of PKR 445 billion at 2008

How is the Return Halal
Care would be taken in ensuring that both the arrangements of accepting deposits from
customers, and investing that amount in Islamic Modes of Financing, are done in a strictlyShariah-compliant manner. On the basis of approval from reputed Shariah scholars, who belong
to internationally renowned university for Islamic education, products have been designed to not
only suit the needs of depositors/ borrowers but also remain strictly in compliance with Islamic
Shariah. Moreover, our Shariah Advisor, Dr. Maulana Muhammad Zubair Usmani would also
monitor our transactions on a daily basis.
Elements of Riba have been eliminated completely from the contracts so that income earned
through investments in assets is completely halal and is shared by the depositors in a Shariah-
compliant manner. A transparent system of weight ages is used to calculate the profit rates on the
basis of which profits are disbursed to each customer. These weight ages are announced by the
bank at the beginning of each month/ term and posted on the Notice Boards of Islamic Banking
Branch as well as on our website.
How to Make Deposits in these Schemes
All that shall be required to do to deposit funds with us is to fill in the form, and pay us through
any mode convenient to the customer i.e. Cash, Cheque, or Pay Order in favor of MCB Bank,

ACCOUNT OPENING DEPARTMENT
y For the duration of my internship in MCB, I have learned and observed many
things about opening an account. Basically, I think that opening an account is to
establish a contractual relationship between banker and client. By opening an
account at a bank of a person becomes a "client" of a bank. In addition, I will
express the basic requirements and steps for opening account.
y Before opening an account at MCB I observed that the following points should be
considered in this regard.
y Another account holder of the bank should properly present the new client.
y The account holder must sign the account opening form in the presence of the
representative of the bank and the signature is properly verified.
y A copy of the ID card is required by the Bank.
y Against the submission of the form of Bank prescribed application duly presented
in the manner prescribed and on the provision of these documents may be
necessary and account can be opened. The Bank reserves to itself the right to
refuse to open an account without giving any reason.
y Each account is assigned a separate number must be quoted in all
correspondence with the relationship bank account.
y Minimum to open and ongoing maintenance of various types of accounts is as
follows: Rs
y Savings of 500
y Current 500
y Term deposit 1000

Recommendations
Although the MCB Ltd. is working very efficiently and effectively since its privatization in
1991. It becomes one of the leading private banks in the Pakistan. It is contributing a lot in the
economy of Pakistan. But there still something on which the management of the MCB should
work on. The following should be needed to improve:
The employees of the bank feel the boredom of doing same tasks. So the job rotation
policy should be adopted frequently to create interesting working conditions.
The management of the bank must send its employees for different courses in the
major cities of Pakistan or even abroad. This will contribute in the employee
development and also in the organizational development.
The management should send the employees on the training. This will help the
employee to understand his work and perform his duties in an efficient way.
The incentives to the employees should and must increase on the regular basis. So it
will increase the employee retention with the bank and also increase the employee
involvement.
The management of the bank should design the proper internship program for the
graduate students and also for the post graduates in way that they can learn a lotduring their internship.
With that the internship program should be in a way that the deserving students can
get the chance for the internship.
Recently the management is closing its non profitable branches frequently. So the
management should try to minimize the problem and maximize the profit but should
not close the branches. Because this will also cause the unemployment.
The management should take care the shareholders of the bank and always keep an
eye to maximize the wealth of the shareholders.
Recently the management of the bank is not working on the policy to attract the
foreign business. The management should also work on to expand its business
internationally.
