Maximum time to work at General Banking section. Therefore, in this report I have described

CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION
12
1.1. Background of the Study:
Now we are living in the age of competition at anything in any places. From that tendency
recently Education is also in the age of competition. So the procedures and standards of teaching
are upgraded by different universities and institution in our country. In respect to that, internship
is mandatory for our BBA program offered by Jagannath University. This program is a partial
fulfillment of our BBA curriculum. To do so I decided to complete my internship in Janata
Bank Limited. In connecting, HRD of JB sent me to the Armanitola Branch and assigned to
prepare this report. Internship program is the practical aspect of our theoretical learning. It makes
a bridge between the gap of classroom learning and practical learning. In this view, Internship
plays a pivotal role for each professional degree like BBA. The study will help formulate suitable
policies taking into consideration different ideas, suggestions and feelings of the customers and
bankers. Furthermore, it may note that Janata Bank executives who are really executing the
policies undertaken by the top management will have a chance to communicate their interaction
and provide necessary feedback.
1.2 Objectives of the study:
There are some purposes of preparing the report which helps me to fulfill my thirsty. These are
given:
To acquire knowledge about relationship between theoretical knowledge and practical
activities.
To know about Branch level General Banking Activities.
To fulfill academic requirement.
To gain practical knowledge in banking.
To recommend ways and means to solve problems regarding Banking.
1.3 Methodology of the study:
The information which is represented in the report is collected internally and externally. Internal
section can be the combination of primary data and external represents secondary data. Within 3
months a lots of events have been occurred from where it helps to prepare the report. Sometime
orally I have collected information which is not available. And these can be gathered only
personal experience.
13
1.4 Source of Data:To make the Report more meaningful and presentable, two sources of data and information have
been used widely.

Table: Sources of Secondary Information1.5 Scope of the study:
The duration of the study was a very short span of time. It was three month long internship
program (August2015 to October 2015). It was very much hard to complete a report as well as
assigned tasks by the Bank. So I had to complete this study facing very much time presser. This
report covers only General Banking Services, activities and procedures of Janata Bank
Limited. Especially this report emphasizes on the comparison of different bank interest rate and
deposit schemes, in a word financial products. It considers only one Branch from all well-known
public & private Banks.
1.6 Limitations:
Inexperience on practical work to do so.
Three months’ time is not proper to perfectly represents on this task.
I have the official job due to not managing proper time.
Sometimes data is not available.

CHAPTER TWO: Literature Review
16
2.1 Definition of Bank and Banking:Bank is an institution that deals in money and its substitutes and provides crucial financial
services. The principal type of baking in the modern industrial world is commercial banking and
central banking. Banking Means "Accepting Deposits for the purpose of lending or Investment
of deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand or otherwise and withdraw by
cheque, draft or otherwise." The concise oxford dictionary has defined a bank as "Establishment
for custody of money which it pays out on customers order." In fact, this is the function which
the bank performed when banking originated. "Banking in the most general sense, is meant the
business of receiving, conserving & utilizing the funds of community or of any special section of
it."
2.2 Overview of Banking Sector in Bangladesh:
2.2.1 Financial System in Bangladesh:
Financial System is the set of well-organized institutional set up which helps to transfer excess
funds from surplus unit to deficit unit. The financial system in Bangladesh includes Bangladesh
Bank (the Central Bank), scheduled banks, and non-bank financial institutions like leasing etc.
Microfinance institutions (MFIs), insurance companies, co-operative banks, credit rating
agencies and stock exchange. Banking sector occupies the lion portion share of financial system
in Bangladesh. Bangladesh bank is authorized for regulating and supervising financial
institutions in Bangladesh.
2.2.2 Banking sector in Bangladesh:
Despite in recent years, many non-bank financial institution has been established, still the
financial system of Bangladesh is mainly banking sector based. Banking sector consists of
Bangladesh Bank as the central bank, four state-owned commercial banks, four specialized
17
Bank/development financial institutions, thirty private commercial banks and nine foreign
commercial banks.
2.3 History of Scheduled/Commercial Bank:
2.3.1 State-Owned Commercial Bank:
Bangladesh becomes independent after long nine months war. Before the liberation, most of the
banking company were owned by the then west Pakistanis. So, the then Government of
Bangladesh nationalized all the banks operating in Bangladesh except foreign Banks
(Incorporated in abroad). All these banks were grouped into commercial banks through merger
process. Among the six commercial banks, two banks namely Pubali bank and Uttara bank were
shifted to private sector in January, 1985 and another bank Rupali bank was incorporated as
public limited company with effect from December, 1986. The rest three banks namely Sonali
bank, Agrani bank and Janata bank were also transferred as public limited company in 2007. So,
now there are four state owned commercial banks operating in Bangladesh.
In a report of IMF, it has been stated that the initial focus on state-led banking imitate the
Government’s lively quest of industrial policies to inspire growth. SCBs were considered as the
proper means of generating savings that could be facilitate industrial finance to the sectors of the
economy with the best growth prospects. SCBs major drawbacks are the lack of corporate
governance and undue political pressure even in loan disbursements without proper analyzing the
prospects of the borrower. Despite recently some measures have been undertaken but this legacy
is still visible in high NPL ratios and frail solvency. The Government of Bangladesh has
indicated its desire to divest of the state owned banks, and took an initiative in late 2008 to make
them limited liability companies. The Ministry of Finance, in consultation with the SEC and BB
allowed the banks to move their accumulated losses into capital surpluses based on the notion of
Goodwill.
18
2.3.2 Specialized Bank/Development Financial Institutions (DFIs):
After liberation, two specialized bank operating in Bangladesh were also nationalized and
renamed as Bangladesh Krishi Bank and Bangladesh Shilpa Bank. But Bangladesh Krishi bank
was divided in 1987 and renamed as Rajshahi Krishi Unnayan Bank (RAKUB) for Rajshahi
Division to promote agricultural development in that region and Bangladesh Krishi bank for the
rest of part of the country. In 1988, another specialized bank name Bank of Small Industries and
Commerce Bangladesh Ltd. (BASIC) was established as private bank to promote small and
medium entrepreneurship. In 1993, the then Government of Bangladesh took the control of
BASIC and was declared it as a specialized bank. Bangladesh Shilpa Bank was merged with
Bangladesh Shilpa Rin Sangsta (BSRS) in 2010 and renamed as Bangladesh Development Bank
Limited (BDBL). So, currently there are four specialized banks which are termed as
Development Financial Institutions (DFIs) operating in Bangladesh.
2.3.3 Private Commercial Bank:
Local private commercial bank started operation in the decades of 1980's. We can categorize
local private bank in the following manner:
First generation bank: Those established in the decades of 1980s.
Second generation bank: These banks started operation in 1990 to 1995.
Third generation bank: After 1998, these banks are established.
At present, there are thirty local private commercial banks operating in Bangladesh. PCBs
dominate the banking sector of Bangladesh. More than fifty percent of total deposits and assets
are covered by the PCBs. The performance of PCBs is much better than SCBs and DFIs in all
respects. Client service innovation and banking service automation is one of the major reasons
for their domination over the SCBs and PCBs. among the three generation of PCBs, third
generation banks are more innovative and provide better client services through automation
whereas first generation banks are little bit in backward position though they continuously
19
improving their condition to compete in the market. Bangladesh’s PCBs have quickly occupy
market share at the expense of the state-owned commercial banks (SCB) and presently grasp
more than 59 percent of total deposits whereas it is only 28 percent for the SCBs and PCBs
assets coverage is 58% whereas it is only 29% in SCBs.
2.3.4 Foreign Commercial Banks (FCBs):
Before liberation, there were few FCBs operating in the country which was incorporated in
abroad. Among those foreign banks, Standard chartered Grindlays Bank was merged with
Standard Chartered Bank in 2003 and then American Express Bank further merged with
Standard Chartered Bank in 2005. Credit Agricole Indosuez bank was renamed as Commercial
Bank of Ceylon Ltd. in 2003. Currently, there are nine foreign commercial banks operating in
Bangladesh. Foreign Commercial Banks suffered for lack of wide spread branch network. Their
operation is basically limited to capital city and some other municipal city corporation area.
2.3.5 Scheduled Bank According to the Law:
According to Bank Company Act, 2007, "All such banks operating in Bangladesh with different
paid-up capital and reserves having a minimum of an aggregate value of Tk. 50 lacs and
conducting their affairs to the satisfaction of the Bangladesh Bank have been declared as
scheduled banks in terms of section 37(2) of Bangladesh Bank Order 1972. In terms of section
13 of Bank Company Act, 1991, the minimum aggregate value was Tk. 20 crores. From 30th
March, 2003, it was tk. 100 crores and from the 8th October 13, 2007, it has been raised at the
minimum of Tk. 200 crores" [Bank Company Act, 2007].

CHAPTER THREE: Overview of Bank
21
Introduction:
Mankind’s greatest achievements happened in great leaps and bounds. The realization and the hard work
took a while but the end result always brought about massive changes to lifestyles.
Janata Bank’s tale of success follows a similar trail of high goals and an indomitable will to perform the
required hard work. Obstacles were always considered as challenges to be conquered. Although they
managed to successfully define complete each goal, each accomplished goal inspires them to tackle the
next with optimism. It has strengthened strives to offer flawless and efficient banking to all spheres of the
community. Every year they plan to take ever greater initiatives to bring about better changes in banking.
It is not just going to be a step forward; it is going to be a great big leap for banking in this country.
3.1 Background of Janata Bank Limited:
With the emergence of Bangladesh as an independent, sovereign state in 1971 after a devastating
nine month war against the West Pakistani occupation army, a war, full of blood and tears,
trauma and pain of millions of our beloved ones, the legacy of rebuilding the already broken
financial base of the country was felt as an urgent call of the day against a collapsed economic
reality of a newly born state.
3.1.1 Inception:
In this backdrop, in order to rebuild the country’s economy, measures had been taken to merge a
number of banks previously operated in this region and make new banks and this initiatives led
to formation of Janata Bank in 1972 by combining the erstwhile United Bank Limited and Union
Bank Limited under the Banks Nationalization Order (President’s Order No. 26) of 1972.
3.1.2 Corporatization:
In 15 November, 2007 Janata Bank got registered with the Joint Stock of Registrars and restructured it as
a public limited company with the name Janata Bank Limited.

CHAPTER FOUR: General Banking
28
4.1 General Banking:
General banking is all about the combination of different departments and the activities
performing in banking operation. Basically it shows how department helps to collect money
from the one client and lend to the other client and to do so it has distinctive goal as well as
objective. Always they try to fulfill their target what actually given by top management to
accomplish touch overall goal of the bank through their branches. Each and every section of the
branch is interrelated with other one not having to be any wrong. So it’s not headache only that
section which has something wrong, it has to be carried every section. As well, all sections are
ready to help each other to perform their activities. The department tries to create interest in
customers’ mind through why they would come in the bank and what would be the advantage
behind this. People are getting interested to deposits in the bank to match time value of the
money and have security as well as withdraw their money based on demands and needs by
paying cheques. To be principal instruments interest security and different services play as vital
role to attract the customers. In fact, there is no relation between banker and customers except
transaction related activities. And that’s why banker always tries to provide best and unique
opportunity to the customer through superior services rather to other banks to hold them.
Therefore different activities like cheque, pay order issue, local, foreign remittance, funds,
account opening etc. are carry out by the departments.
4.2 Customer Services:
In the branch different sections are ready to give the services which are the ultimate solution of
the customers. Any information, if customer wants to know, he or she can get it either phone or
coming in the bank. But by phone all information is not provided due to maintain security.
Normally what amount of money in their (customer) account, to open an account what should be
followed, when can be taken cheque book and deposit book, what the condition of interest rate,
how money can be transferred to other bank etc. This type of services bank provided to the
customer. People always want to get the customer service as early as possible. JBL wants as fast
as possible they will offer the services to the customer rather than other banks holding own
29
position and go forward more by superior services through smiling face as well as well behaving
what they need. Sometime which facilities (products) have been come in new way for the
customers and helpful are informed. To develop customer service more, sometimes they are
asked what their expectation to the bank about it is. If it is possible manager tries to add with
customer service Therefore info provider has to be always spirited and active to provide just in
time. These services and account opening to provide executive officer basically is active in the
REB Branch.
4.3 Services and Product:At competitive market, to survive strongly is much more challenging and difficult. To hold own
exultancy, JBL beside traditional services has launched new products and services through
customization. Account opening to closing and different services of JBL what they provide is
given below:
4.3.1 Account opening:
To start the transaction permanently in a Janata Bank registration should be maintained which is
account opening. One of our Officer (Executive officer) is always ready to provide this type of
service by account opening one considered as own and loyal client to the bank. Therefore it
wants to retain this customer for a long time providing superior services. To open an account
some criterion client has to follow which helps to keep information about them to it. To open
account in the Janata Bank they have different account form to registry in different name.
Generally to open any account first of all collecting the form filling account holder’s name,
father’ name, mother’s name, date of birth, citizenship, religion, present and permanent address
and signature. Introducer’s approved should be mandatory and filling nominee’s information like
A/C holder in the form. After this task he or she will be given a photocopy of voter ID card/valid
passport/Nationality Certificate and three copies photographs (two for A/C holder and another
one for nominee). Then officer will check it and give an A/C no. as well deposit book to deposit
money in the A/C no. Then the respective officer inputs data into Easy Banking Software. Then
he prints thanks letter for introducer and A/C holder and sends these letters in respective address
30
to verifying addresses of introducer & A/C holder. After verifying A/C holder’s address the
officer issue cheque books to withdraw money.
JBL (Janata Bank Limited) focuses different importance to the different A/C. according to that
the requirement varies.
4.3.1.1 Deposit Products:
Current Deposit Account: Current Deposit account is the most important for the bank. This
A/C is opened by business people who are used to daily transaction for business purposes.
People mostly maintain this A/C to have daily transaction in any time and for security. No
interest is paid in Current Deposit Account due to any time withdraw from the bank and deposit
to the bank. To open this account, there some rules and regulation which is controlled by
Bangladesh Bank (Central Bank) have been maintained by Janata Bank (JBL).
Types of Current Deposit Account:
Current Deposit Account (Personnel)
Current Deposit Account (Sole Proprietorship)
Current Deposit Account (Partnership)
Current Deposit Account (Limited Liability Company)
Current Deposit Account (Association/Trust/Society)
Saving Account: Saving account is quite different from Current A/C. Bank provide interest 5%
at present to the client to maintain deposit in. Here, client cannot withdraw his money any time
as his wish. Some restrictions have to follow to withdraw money per week. People are more

Account Closing:
For two reasons, one can be closed. One is by banker and other is by the customer.
By banker: If any customer doesn’t maintain any transaction within six years and the A/C
balance becomes lower than the minimum balance, banker has the right to close an A/C.
By customer: If the customer wants to close his A/C, he writes an application to the manager
urging him to close his A/C.
But in practice, normally the customers don’t close A/C willingly. At times, customers don’t
maintain any transaction for long time. Is this situation at first, the A/C becomes dormant and
ultimately it is closed by the bank.

requires verification” is marked. Loss of draft after endorsement: In this case, the branch first
satisfies itself about the claimant and the endorsement in his favor.

Basically Accounts Department is not alone. Accounts department is a mix of as follows:

This section of any branch plays very significant role in Accounts Department. Because, it deals
with most liquid assets of the JBL. This section receives cash from depositors and pay cash

CHAPTER SEVEN:
Recommendation and Conclusion
49
7.1Recommendation:
1. Renovation of customer service:
Janata bank should make its service prompt so that people need not give more time in the
banking activities and fell easy to perform all respective activities. Moreover they have to
come up with new facilities and offer which will attract more client and help to ensure their
premium as well as loyal customer forever. Therefore they have to ensure-
The working process faster with better computers and operating systems.
Trained, experienced, smart, knowledgeable as well as intellectual personnel to
provide fastest and the best services.
Individual attention can be given to customers in order to better understand the
customer’s needs and better satisfy them (Cheques, deposit slips are not written
properly by the customers so the employees have to do that).
More ATM booth in merchant location.
More Gifts, Discounts as well as differentiated interest rates on several loan and
deposit schemes for the Premium Customers.
Car parking facility.
2. Ensure Proper Division of Labor and man power:
The human resource departments of Janata bank have to ensure proper division of labor in
desk for handling the rash of customer in an efficient way. Therefore based on importance
and work load they have to ensure proper division of labor. Moreover by increasing the
numbers of personnel try to maintain the premium banking objective. Mainly the number of
human resources is needed in Front Desk and in clearing section which really insufficient for
giving services to huge number of customers.
50
3. Ensure Proper compilations &Maintenance of Files:
Ensuring proper customer service is a continuous process in banking business. Which is vital
for it success. The service starts from the first day of customer interaction with banker. To
know customer, maintain interaction, conducting banking activities for the security purposes
the file maintenance of individual client is most important. If one single paper is missing then
it can create a big problem as well as hazard to both banker and their customer. Therefore
both branch management and all personnel should more conscious about the proper
compilations as well as decoration for keeping important files.
4. Ensure availability of Machineries:
Every department should ensure the availability and proper maintenance of necessary
machines like photocopy and printing machines.
5. Ensure employee satisfaction:
Management of the bank has to provide time to time recognition of their employee.
Moreover short probationary period and on time promotion motivated the employee to
perform well in their day to day activities. But the most important thing is the overall
motivational activities should be proceeding under fair judgment based on performance
rather internal politics. In addition through assurance of proper division of labor, incentive
for over duty and mandatory leave help to overcome huge working load and enjoy a sound as
well as healthy life. Besides good relationship amongst employee and sound working
environment also help the employee to be satisfied with their job.
6. Ensure proper promotional activities:
They must prepare an organized set of plan regarding the advertising and promotional
activities which should include billboards, internet advertising and sponsorship. The sales
team and officers should provide periodic training on interacting and dealing with different
classes of potential and existing customers.
51
7. Ensure effective computer literacy:
As the bank is now mostly depends on computer therefore to increase the computer skills of
employees, the bank should provide training. Though they have knowledge about computer
but it is not enough. So bank should provide training to their employees to make them
efficient in computer.
8. Ensure of proper Decoration and expanded office area :
Armanitola branch authorization should have to be more conscious and innovative in their
interior decoration to attract client from all ages. As Armanitola area is the business area so
the rush of client is the common scenario of this branch so the space should be extended for
conducting and performing sound banking activities, service as well.
Ensure internship desk and specific task:
This branch is renowned for the internship. So bank should provide the internship desk and
some specific task for gathering some real life experience which they can utilize in their
future job. Moreover small amount of remuneration should provide to internee for realize
their importance as well as motivate to perform the task properly.
During the three months of internship program at Janata Bank Armanitola Branch almost all.
52
7.2 Conclusion:
During the three-month internship program of Janata Bank Ltd. at Armanitola Branch, almost the
entire almost desk has been observed more or less. Gaining knowledge of general banking to
compare this practical knowledge with theoretical knowledge. Though all departments and
sections are covered in the internship program, it is not possible to go to the depth or each
activities of division because of time limitation. So, objectives of this internship program have
not been fulfilled with complete satisfaction. However, highest effort has been given to achieve
the objectives the internship program. The banking sector of Bangladesh played an important
role towards economic growth in Bangladesh. The financial sector of Bangladesh is now
considered to be the most regulated sector as compared to other sectors. Janata bank limited is
the second-generation bank in the country.
JBL always try to increase their profitability through different service reaching to the customer
hand. To be more near to the customer they are increasing their branches as well as services. And
that’s why their no. of branches is more than 906 (904 in annual Report 2014). More services
providing more easily how can be done always they analyze about that. To be more than 40
years’ experience, they have the great advantage to journey a long path. They believe that
customers’ satisfaction is the indicator of wealth maximization. During my job I got lots of
opportunity to achieve experience how to deal with the clients what the behavior should be an
official which is not possible gain from the book or in the class. It was great job in the banking
environment. I got a real communication skill in the office to expand my confidence level.
Sometimes people become so crazy and angry but we have to tolerate and make them understand
though they are wrong. So this way of behave may help in future on job career.
