History of Bank Al Habib:


Habib Esmail, founder of Habib Group, started his career in Bombay in 1891 at the
age of 13 on a salary of Rs. 5 per month in a firm that dealt in copper and brass
utensils. He worked day and night, arriving before the shop opened, staying till late in
the night, and then walking home to save money on conveyance. No wonder that in
the short span of five years, at the age of 18, he was made a partner in the firm. Even
at that young age, he had established an excellent reputation for honesty, hard work,
fair play, trustworthiness, humility. These values continue to guide the activities of
Habib Group to this day.
During the next 17 years, he captured over 60 percent of the local utensils business
and diversified into export of copper, cotton scrap iron and manganese ore, selling to
East Africa, Italy, France and Great Britain. Being a person of great insight, he sent
his representatives to Europe in 1912 and established branch offices in Genoa and
Vienna. Simultaneously, he initiated business relationships with Japan and China.
His reputation for honesty and fair play was so well known that his customers and
local merchants would leave their surplus funds with him for safe-keeping and
investment, thus establishing the foundation of the family's banking business. In 1921,
he started Habib & Sons. The firm traded in cotton, oil seeds, and bullion and acted as
a merchant bank. It eventually became the flagship of the family and the parent family
and the parent company of Habib Bank Limited

Introduction of Habib family


The history of the House of Habib goes back to middle of the previous-to-last century
when Esmail Ali of Jamnagar, India, set up a small utensil factory in Bombay. His son
Habib Esmail, born in1878, founded the House of Habib. Habib was very young when
his father died, forcing him to join the business of his uncle Cassum Mohammad,
owner of Khoja Mithabai Nathoo, merchant, and manufacturer of copper and brass
utensils. It was because of hisassociation with Mithabai Nathoo that Habib Ismaeel
came to beknown as Seth Habib Mitha.

DAWOOD HABIB
Habib and Sons was formed in the 1920s to trade in cotton, copper, oil seeds, gold
bullion and other commodities and to act as a merchant bank. This in turn led to the
formation in 1941 of Habib Bank Ltd. Bombay, as a public limited company.

Introduction of Habib groups of companies:


The Origin of what is now known as the Habib Group of companies can be traced to
Habib Esmail,and his association with the firm of Khoja Mithabani Nathoo, a leading
metals dealer established inBombay in 1841. Habib joined the firm at the age of 13
for a monthly salary of Rs. 5. Through hishard work and determination he became
partner at the age of 18 and also became the president of theCopper and Brass
Merchants Association.Habib sent his representative to Europe in 1912 and followed
that up by establishing branch offices inGenoa and Vienna. Simultaneously, he began
business relationship with Japan and China importinghosiery, yarn, glassware and
cutlery and exporting cotton.He started the firm "Habib & Sons" in 1921 and changed
the family name to "Habib". His four sonsnamely Ahmed Habib, Dawood Habib,
Mohammed Ali Habib and Ghulam Ali Habib joined the business. The firm expanded
rapidly - banking remaining a core business.This in turn led to the formation in 1941
of Habib Bank Ltd. Bombay, as a public limited company.The bank was to become
the flagship of the familys industrial and commercial ventures. Prior to thecreation of
Pakistan the bank moved its head office to Karachi and played a vital role in
providing the basic banking and financial needs of this new country.A network of
branches and training centers were established in former East and West
Pakistan.When all banks in Pakistan were nationalized in 1974, Habib Bank was one
of the largest commercial banks in South Asia with 875 branches in Pakistan and 44
branches overseas, including 20 in theUnited Kingdom.

History of Habib group in Pakistan:


The House of Habib holds many distinctions in Pakistan's history. Habib Bank was
shifted to Pakistan on the personal bidding of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah
and came to the aid of the nascent state "even before the Govt of Pakistan was ready
to issue appropriate government paper" with a Rs 80 million loan when the Reserve
Bank of India failed to deliver Pakistan share of Rs 750 million held by it. It is said

that Mohammad Ali Habib gavea blank cheque on Llyod Bank to the Quaid-e-Azam
who wrote Rs 80 million in it. (Anarticle in Habib Bank Golden Jubilee Presentation

the cheque will be honored by the Bank.

be liable to the drawer for the amount.

(iii)

Stale and Over due cheque:


If a cheque is in circulation for an unreasonable period of time, the cheque is said

to be stale or over due. Normally, if the cheque is presented six on seven months after
the date, it is marked as "Stale" or "out of date". The out of date cheque requires the
confirmation of the drawer.

Alterations on a cheque:
If the drawer is to make changes in the date or amount or in the name of the

person then full signature must be obtained on all the material alterations made on the
cheque.

If a cheque is torn in two or more than two-pieces and after pasting the pieces
together is presented to the Bank for payment. the Bank would return it to the drawer
marked, "Multitude Cheque". If the drawer confirms the mutilated cheque, the Bank's
position is then quite safe.

effectual discharged.

the amount paid to him. If the cheque or bill is drawn payable to order, it requires the
endorsement of the transferor, so that the payment is made in due course

The main requirements of endorsement to be effective are as follows;

the endorser simply put down his signature on the back of the cheque, the
endorsement is valid.

2.

Endorsement may be made in ink, print, pencil or with a rubber stamp. The
Bank prefers the endorsement to be wholly in ink as it is not liable to
obliteration as well as alteration.

3.

The endorsement must be of the entire value of the Cheque and bill. Partial
endorsement which may be in the name of one endorsee or more than one
endorsees separately is not legally valid.

4.

If the number of endorsees or payees is more than one on the bill then all the
payees are the endorse unless one endorsee has the authority to

endorse on

behalf of other payees as it is generally in partnership.


5.

Another important requisite of valid endorsement is that the endorsement must


correspond with that of the drawing. For instance, if the name of the endorsee
is misspells. The payee should also endorser the bill in the misspells version.
However, the endorsee can at the proper signature, if he so desires. If the
names of the payees are two or more than two, the endorsement should also be
in the same order, which is penned down on the back of the bill.

CLASSIFICATION OF ENDORSEMENT
The Main classification of endorsement are as follows:

1. Conditional endorsement :
-If the endorsement makes the payment of a bill subject to the fulfillment of a
condition or conditions, the endorsement is called conditional endorsement. The Bank
or the payer can disregard the conditions and make the payment to the endorsee and
the payment will be considered valid.

28

2. Blank Endorsement :It the endorser signs his name on the bill but does not give the name of any other
person to whom he wishes to transfer the cheque, the endorsement is called blank.
When there is no endorsee specified on the bill, it becomes payable to bearer even
though it may be originally drawn to order.

3. Special Endorsement :
-An endorsement which

specifies the name of the transferor for the payment of

the bill is called special endorsement. Special endorsement is payable to order.

PEST analysis:

Political forces;
The events in the last couple of years; the bomb blast of May 28th 1998 and the
subsequent freezing of the FCAs, the declaration that Riba is Un-Islamic, and a
volatile political scenario that saw the overthrow of the Nawaz Sharif regime, all
contributed in highlighting the important role of government in the local economy.
The freezing of the FCAs destroyed the confidence of foreign depositors.

Also, the

declaration that Riba is against the Sharia, is likely to cause tremendous uncertainty in
the banking sector. After this Pakistans army totally holds on the government and
push back the economy. Stability under the new regime is also very important for the
economy as a whole. Continuous political changes have disrupted the policies and
objectives as each regime brings with it its own agenda. Organizations need time to
68

adjust to one regime and then work with it towards economic enhancement. Due the
wrong policies of the government the talibanization also develop in Pakistan and
become the international issue in Pakistan and badly affected the Pakistan repute in
the world and promote the uncertain conditions for the business in the Pakistan. Due
to this the investors are not interested in the Pakistan.

Economic factors;
The Pakistan economy is more controlled economy, then one where market forces
reign supreme. Several key institutions are stated owned. Thus a discussion of the
economic forces that influence the private organization such as bank Al Habib cannot
ignore the substantial role played by the government in determining the state of the
economy. The biggest indicator of the heavy role enjoyed by the government was
evidence when foreign currency accounts (FCAs) were frozen on the orders of the
ministry of finance in the wake of explosion tests on may 31st 1998.
This and the recent efforts by the state bank to artificially lower the interest rates by
revising the repo rates downwards and encouraging lower bids for T-Bill, highlights
the overwhelming role of the government in the economy. Badla rates are a true
indication of market rates at which financial intuitions are willing to lend but the
government, under the dictates of the IMF wants to artificially lower the interest rates
so as to provide investment liquidity within the economy.
General Musharaf period of government putt back the economy of the Pakistan due
to the wrong policies of the government for the economic growth in the Pakistan.
Pakistan economy destroyed badly in that 10 to 11 years of the government, and
investors hesitated to invest in the Pakistan, and also the load shading is another factor
that effect the Pakistan economy badly.
This not the end of the story after this Pakistan economy face lot of problems like
bomb attacks in Pakistan no electricity and the unstable government, due to this the
investor are not invest in the Pakistan and the existing business men finish their
business unit due to the loss.

Social forces:
A low saving culture has offset the huge population advantage this is enjoyed by
Pakistan. Also culture is dedicated by the religion, and in Pakistan a significant

69

segment of the population is loath to accept interest for their deposits due to the
negative religious implications of such an act.
About 70% of Pakistans population is based on rural areas, thus making it harder for
banks to mobilize their deposits within these regions.
Habib group also started a school system in Karachi for the cherty purpose.
They give the funds to the poor person on the daily basis

Technological forces:
Banks in the developed world have been turning to heavy IT investments, which
differentiate their products, provide response times, enhance accessibility and improve
customer satisfaction. Though investing in state-of-the-art host banking solution
(Fiserv, Kapiti, etc) , ATM and POS ( point of sale) networks, visa, MasterCard, and
Amex switches, smart cards, telebanking and now internet banking are common IT
investment in the developed world, it is now that these products and services are
gaining faster acceptance in Pakistan.
Bank Al Habib change their technology in IT sector due to the requirements of the
current time, before this they have the poor technology of the IT and un less skilled
person in that field but at this time they replace it with the heavy installation of the IT
instruments. They hired new skill employed and trained them for the efficient and
effective work.

Porters five forces analysis:


The model of the five competitive forces was developed by Michael E. Porter in
his book Competitive strategy: Techniques for Analyzing Industries and
Competitors in 1980.
Porters model is based on the insight that a corporate strategy should meet the
opportunities and threats in the organizations external environment.

I. Rivalry Among Competing firms;


Bank Al Habib limited is facing a strong competition from other private Pakistani
banks like Metropolitan bank. Soneri bank and Askari Commercial bank. The
improved performance of the nationalized commercial banks (NCBs) is also the threat
for the bank Al Habib. Foreign banks are also competing with the bank for same small
medium sized companies. The bank is overcoming the incentive competition due to its
strong reputation as a renowned financial group in Pakistan and a long history of
experience in the banking sector.

II. Potential entry of new competitors;


The entry barriers in this market are high. The new banks need permission from SBP so
entry of new banks is restricted. Also the paid up capital requirement is likely to be
raised from Rs.500 million to Rs.1 billion.

III. Development of substitute products;


The non banking financial institutions including development finance institutions
(DFIs), private sector investment banks (PSIBs), leasing corporations (LCs) and
71

Modarbas are almost in the same line of business and can be treated to the bank. Other
substitutes that compete include the national saving certificates, the stock market, its
supporting industry and brokerage houses.
IV. Bargaining power of suppliers;
The main suppliers in the banking sectors are depositors. Although the bank is given
higher return then any other bank (12% per annum) to attract the depositors but the low
innovation in the product and also low investment in the marketing sector of the bank
may provide difficulties in coming years.
The regulatory bodies could also be the suppliers as they provide guidelines to the bank
from time to time. These include the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), The Corporate Law
Authority (CLA), The Ministry of Finance and the religious board.
V. Bargaining power of customers;
The main customers are small traders and exporters based in Karachi and Lahore,
majority of whom deal in textile related commodities. Since the bank is targeting the
short-term trade finance market, the bargaining power of customer is substantial as
other banks within the same sector like Habib bank, Bank Al Falah and Metropolitan
are fast catching up with the Bank Al Habib in providing services to the traders.
