a. Credit policy of the Bank

b. Credit Sanctioning Authority of JBL and

c. Processing and Screening of credit proposal

3.1.5.2 Consideration factors for loan:

When JBL bank gives loan that time they should consider some factors, such as

Safety: Safety is the most important for sanctioning loan. At the time of repayment

borrower may be unable to pay the loan amount. For that reason when bank sanctioning

loan they should take collateral security from the borrowers.

Security: Banker should be are in the selections of security for their loan. They should

properly evaluate the value of security it should not less then or equal of loan amount.

Liquidity: When banker sanctioning any loan then they should ensure the liquidity

position of JBL.

Adequate yield: Banker should select those investment which interest rate is higher then

savings interest rate.

Diversity of risk: Bank should not invest one or two sectors. If it is happen then their

investment risk is higher then market risk. In this case bank should maintain investment

portfolio. So if one investment makes loss another can cover that loss.

3.1.8.1Import Financing

Is the most important method of import -financing International trade take place between

sellers and buyers located in different countries. The parties to a trade transaction are notalways known to each other. Even if they are known to each other the seller may not have

full confidence in the carried worthiness of the buyer or the buyer may not like to pay

before he actually receives the goods. In letter of credit the bankers credit worthiness issubstituted for the credit worthiness of the importer. Under a bank- cards letter of credit,

the issuing bank gives a written undertaking on behalf of the buyer that the bank will

honor the obligation of payment or expectance as the case may be on presentation of

stipulated documents. As the request of the importers bank issue the letter of credit at amerging by the govt. instruction. Bail: does not generally issue the letter of credit less

then 50% margin. JBL follow the margin prescribed by the government strictly.

4.1 Internship Position and daily works

I worked on the general banking sections. Sometimes I worked in account opening

section, some times in remittance and some times in clearing section. Mainly I worked inclearing section. In this section I received cheques, calculate the total numbers ofreceived cheques and finally bundle those cheques to send in Bangladesh Bank.

When all of our branches cheques come from the house (Bangladesh bank), I gave entriesall the cheques (CD, Loan, STD, SOD, DD, PO) in the register book with the name of

bank, account number, types of account, and amount of money. When the authorized

officer of cash confirm the return cheques. I marked up all the return cheque number,name of the bank and amount of the money. After that attach the return memorandum

with the return cheque and send those cheques for second house.

Then after 3 p.m. attach all the receiving cheque with the printed memorandum. When allthe branches come with their cheques; accumulate all cheques and made them prepare for

the first house of next day morning.

In the account opening section; I deal with the clients about to open new account, deposit,

opening and operation of deposit accounts and their legal aspects.

Inthis three months of my internship period I worked in various departments of JBL. But

among the all departments I like the clearing department most. Because the work of

clearing department is very important and interesting; actually this department does thetoughest work in the bank. I feel very comfort with the members of clearing department

too. All the members of this department helped me a lot to complete my internship report.

6.1 Findings

During internship period in Jamuna Bank Limited at Dilkusha Branch following

problems are identified.

Human resource of any organization is considered as a valuable asset. But human

resources, in the branch, are not equipped with adequate banking knowledge. Majority of

the human resources have lack of basic knowledge regarding money, banking finance andaccounting. Without proper knowledge in these subjects, efficiency cannot be optimized.

There is shortage of computer in general banking section. Sometimes the shortage ofcomputer makes some unfortunate event in that section.

Though JBL using very popular software i.e. Flora bank on--line software but the use ofit is quite difficult for the employees. (According to the statement of some employee ofJBL who has the experience to use more then one banking software).

JBL are not taking their clearing cheque for other- They are using IBC/OBC systems totake that kind of clearing cheque.

JBL not providing the credit cards in market which now a days one of the mostimportant part of banking. So for it they are loosing too many customers.

I have found that most of the employees are not satisfied with their salary, most of themthink that they are not getting proper salary comparing with other banks.

The capital of Jamuna Bank is not enough to serve properly. Even not to provide loanfor consumer.

Customers are not fully satisfied with the service of Jamuna bank. Since a number of

new banks are coming to existence with their extended customer service pattern in acompletely competitive manner.

In our country financial problem is a great constraint in foreign trade. JBL Is very

conservative for post-shipment finance.

Now a day's on-line banking is a very common service for private commercial bank.

JBL, provide On-line banking service but they take source charge for it, if the customersdo not use his/her mother branch.

35


36/38

6.2 Recommendations

JBL authority should train up their HR personnel, so that they can get a clear idea aboutbanking knowledge

There should be adequate number of computer to serve the general service to the

customers.

Employees should be more expert & trained to use the Flora software.

JBLs clearing should be properly online.

Credit card should be available for the general customers of JBL.

Salary structure should be revised for the satisfaction of the employees comparing with

the other commercial private banks.

Capital structure should be stronger to serve properly.

Customer-services must be made dynamic and prompt. Now a days, people especiallybusiness people have very little time to waste. So the bank should make its service

prompt so that people need not give more time in the banking activities

Foreign exchange operations of other banks are more dynamic and less time consuming.

JBL should take some initiative to compete with those banks.

To encourage customers to use On-line banking facility this service charge should not

be taken charge from the customers.

Customer service of bank has a greater impact on its customer. To provide smartercustomer service they need a call center department is very popular now a day.

Jamuna bank can introduce some new schemes for their consumers like: student savingaccount, Hajj scheme, etc.

JBL should have to improve their financial condition so that they can provide consumerloan, such as: can loan, house loan, education loan etc.

7.1 Conclusion

A modern commercial banking perspective is extending business. The rewards aremodest; the penalties for bad looking are enormous. And commercial banks are greatmonetary institutions, which can play a significant role in welfare of society and country

more than any other institutions.

JBL has gained firmed confidence in the minds of customers within a short period of its

operation. Analyzing the whole scenario which are tried to highlight in this report, we can

conclude that, the performance of Jamuna Bank Ltd. is quite satisfactory but there isstillroom for improvement. Understanding this present competitive market pressure the

Bank Management should start some special new services to survive in this competitive

market. JBL is a new generation bank. It is committed to provide high quality financial

services to contribute to the growth of G.D.P. of the country through stimulation trade &commerce, Accelerating the pace of industrialization, boosting up export, creating

employment opportunity for the educated youth, poverty alleviation, raising standard of

living of limited income group and overall sustainable socio-economic development ofthe country.

JBL authority should introduce some new schemes for their customers so that morecustomers can get their services. And they also should take care of customer services

because banks main capital is their services they are selling their services basically. So a

little improvement in their management can help the bank to reach in the list of

successful banks.
