“Loan Recovery Performance of the Uttara Bank Limited”
1.1 Introduction The internship program is an opportunity for the students and it bears a great significant for us. It familiarizes the students with the practical business operations. The students of internship program get the chance to understand the real business world closely and familiarize themselves with internal and external expects of business. It gives them an opportunity to develop the analytical skill and scholastic aptitude. All over the world the dimension of banking has been changing rapidly due to Deregulation, Technological innovation and Globalization. Commercial banks in Bangladesh have to keep pace with the change in global business. Now banks have to compete in market place both with the local institutions as well as with the foreign institutions. To survive and thrive in such a competitive banking world, two important requirements are development of appropriate financial infrastructure by the central bank and development of “professionalism” in the sense of developing an appropriate manpower structure and its expertise and experience. To introduce skilled banker, only theoretical knowledge in the field of banking studies is not sufficient. An academic course of the study has a great value when it has practical application in real life situation. So, I need proper application of my knowledge to gate some benefit from my theoretical knowledge make it more tactful. When I engage myself in such fields to make proper use of my theoretical knowledge in my practical life situation. Such theoretical knowledge is obtained from a course of study at only the half way of the subject matter.
1.2 Objective of the Study

1.4 Limitation of the study To prepare this report, I have faced some limitations, which are mentioned in the follows:
Time Limitation The main and the first constraints is time that hinder to cover all aspect of the study. In three month it’s not possible to cover learning about any bank properly and also going to write a report on this. So limitation of time is the main problem.
Lack of Data If any one can wise than he can gather primary data to the banks employees. But this data is not proper for writing a report. Secondary data is also very rears. It is just only the annual report and the web site. But in the web site the information is updated and is properly given.
Limitation of Scope While collecting data, the authority did not disclose much information due to the confidentially of the Bank

3.22 Credit Evaluation Principles In order to get the optimum returns from the deployed funds in different kinds of lending, more emphasis shall be given on refund of loans and advances out of fund generated by the borrower from their business activities instead of realization of money by disposing of the securities held against the advance which is very much uncertain and time consuming . Some principles or standards of lending are maintained loans in order to keep the risk to a minimum level and for successful banking business. The main principles of lending are: Liquidity Liquidity means the availability of bank funds on short notice. The liquidity of an advance means it repayment on demand on due date or after a short notice. Therefore, the banks must have to maintain sufficient liquidity to repay its depositors and trade off between the liquidity and profitability is must. Safety Safety means the assurance of repayment of distributed loans. Bank is in business to make money but safety should never be sacrificed for profitability, to ensure the safety of loan. The borrower should be chosen carefully. He should be a person of good character & capacity as well as bank must have to maintain eligible number of security from borrower,
Profitability Banking is a business aims at earning a good profit. The difference between the interest received on advances and the interest paid on deposit constitute a major portion of the bank income, besides, foreign exchange business is also highly remunerative. The bank will not enter into a transaction unless a fair return assured. Security The security offered for an advance is an insurance to fall bank upon incases of need. Security serves as a safety value for an unexpected emergency. Since risk factors are involved, security coverage has to be taken before a lending. National interest Banking industry has significant roll to play in the economic development of a country.

If there is a provision for running bills for the work, appropriate amount to be deducted from each bill to ensure complete adjustment of the liability within the payment period of the final bill.
3.23 Credit Monitoring and Review It is the last step in credit policy and procedure framework of UBL.
Credit
monitoring and review is very important, because it ensures proper utilities and repayment of bank fund. Credit monitoring and review feature of UBL is concerned was assessing the quality of different type of loan. Periodic review and follow up should, inter-aria aims at ensuring:
• That conduct (Turnover, regularity of repayment etc) of the borrowing account is during the period under review has been satisfactory or as expected.
• The account is not having excess over limit

•
The analysis of the borrower’s business performance and comparison of the projected and actual to find any deviations.

4.1 Findings Of the study In the middle of twenty first century here we are facing a heavy competition with each other. Here everyone is competing with each and every single point. So today’s business institution are moving forward to remember this concept. If any one has a week point than the rival party will take the opportunity and make a problem for the week intuition. After complete my internship in The Uttara Bank, I realized that there are many problems and this may be a cause of huge loss or create a barrier for the future prospect. So the bank should taken care it very seriously.
The Problems for The Uttara Bank’s are:
(A) Security Problem Now a days Uttara bank ltd. is one of the top performer bank in our country. But the security system is very weak. Because they have no security camera in the bank and of course the branch also which is very weak sector of Uttara bank limited
(B) Employment Problem In current situation it would be the major problem of Uttara bank limited. The situation of too many heads but few heads must be eliminated for the future of the bank. In order to enhance the productivity of the work force at Uttara bank limited, the management must have to consider the appropriate amount of work force required and must assess the productivity of each employee. The employees who do not have many things to be done should be relocated or provision should be given to them for voluntarily retirement.

(C) Enhancement of Remuneration The most important lacking of UBL that have to be improving immediately is Enhancement of remuneration. The current remuneration of Uttara bank limited in very poor, unimpressive and not capable to attract quality personnel to fill up its position. It have to be said that the foreign banks pay double that of Uttara bank limited and other private banks also pay a higher scale of remuneration than Uttara bank limited. It is the time the management should consider revising the remuneration package in order to attract the high quality human resource and of course to retain them in Uttara bank limited. In course of my brief Bank's career in UBL I found that a good number of employees are not working hour. This work force should be brought under utilization. The skill and experience of this section of employers should be utilized properly in the development of the Bank.
(D) Absence of Online Banking: Today’s world is modern world, so here every one wants that they will do banking from their own house. The Uttara Bank does not have this kind of facilities. So if they implement online banking than they will gain huge popularity.
(E) Limited Number Of Branches: The Uttara Bank has limited branches allover the Bangladesh. So if they want to do a vast business then they have to increase the number of branches.
(F) Limited ATM Booths of the Bank: Uttara Bank has only five ATM Booths overall the Bangladesh. It is not enough, if any bank need to higher position in this competitive market.

5.1 Recommendation Before drawing the end I would like to offer the following suggestions for bringing improvements of UBL. 30
• In general banking department they follow traditional system. The entire general banking system is not fully computerized so an implementation of fully automated system is required.
•
They are not using data base networking in information technology (IT) department. So they have to transfer data from branch to branch and branch to head office by using transferable disk. Such as –floppy which are risky?
• The Accounts opening procedure is not easier to the customers, so every branch have to need a separate desk for account opening.
6.1 Conclusion Banking sector is the chief financial intermediaries in a country. It’s also true for Bangladesh. Uttara bank limited is a very challenging institution. In the age of globalization and free trade, the process and the system of running a bank is changing. UBL (Uttara Bank Ltd.) is continuously managing itself with this changing environment. The company strategies are clean and concise. The return is pretty good. If the company performs this way, we can expect that in near future Uttara bank limited may become one of the top performer in banking sector of our country. They are also able to contribute to our economy in better way. The working environment of the bank is impressive. It was also found that the bank (Branch) is doing better in most of the sectors and their performance is better than average. However during the year 2008 their investment is not sufficient. The investment during 2008 went down in comparison to that of the previous years. Finally it can be said that the bank is doing very good in the competitive market and if it can continue to perform this way it can become a leading banking institution which can play a pivotal role in the development of the country.
