GENERAL BANKING
REMITTANCE
It is transfer of funds. Funds can be transferred in shape of pay orders, demand draft, mail telegram and
telegraph transfer. Payments of fees of different organizations, fulfillment of tenders, and collection of
funds are the main functions of remittance. Maximum part of general banking depends on this department.
PAY ORDER
Pay order is the property of person/company that has to take the benefit of the amount being pay ordered by
the concerned person. Pay orders are made for the payment of fees, tender or issued for the payments of
dealings. These are required for the proof of payments made between the bank and the customer in the
favor of beneficiary. These are noted in printed block letters and yearly serial numbers are issued from
computerized system.
DEMAND DRAFT
Demand drafts are made for the beneficiary for payments, funds etc, these are made for outstation branches
of the concerned banks. An advice is also made for the confirmation of the draft send. These are also
approved and safe way of sending amount to the beneficiary.
These are also noted by computerized system and a serial number is issued from the computer system.
MAIL TRANSFER
Mail Transfer is made with in the city for transfer of amount. An advice is also made for the confirmation
of the draft send. These are also approved and safe way of sending amount to the beneficiary. These are
also noted by computerized system and a serial number is issued from the computer system.
TELEGRAPHIC TRANSFER
Telegraph Transfer is telegram message for transferring the amount from one branch to other branch. A
message advice and a confirmation advice both are made with TT numbers that are issued for TEST. TEST
depends on two steps:
2. Second TEST is on Currency, whether Pak rupees or foreign currency, amount and TT number issued
from manual registers and confirmed from computerized system.
Pay-Order and Demand Draft both could be paid in shape of physical payment of cash and in case transfer
of amounts; the amount could be transferred in the beneficiary account. In case of physical payment
authorized signature of beneficiary are taken for the proof of amount being paid to him and in case of
transferring of amount authorized signature of the beneficiary are checked and verified for reducing risks.
Any type of Pay-Order / Demand Draft is cancelled by the permission and instructions made by the
beneficiary. The customer could only cancel the pay-order/demand draft as the verified signatures of
beneficiary are present on the advice.
VOUCHERS
Vouchers are made for records and they should be completed in all respects, the amount, date, its head,
particulars, amount in words, authorized signatures and contra advice or voucher should be present.
Vouchers are advice either debit or credit slips. They are contra of each other. If any voucher of debit is
passed its contra credit voucher should also be passed for the balancing of accounts, their respective sheets.
INWARD CLEARING
It depends on those checks that are cleared inter branch and with in the city. As the concerned branch
receive any type of clearing check first of all physical checking is taken place. For clearing procedure there
should be two days margin. These cheques have their vouchers and the amount of the cheque and voucher
should be identical. Than these cheques are stamped and noted on receiving sheet as well as feed in to the
computerized system.
OUTWARD CLEANING
It depends on those cheques that are cleared out side the city. For outward clearing cheques are send
because the home branch has there accounts but checks are of other banks. Contras of these cheques are
vouchers that are recordrd in the home branch.
TOKEN

2. Date
It should not be advanced of the latest date, date should be limited to only past
six months.
3. AMOUNT
Amount in which words and figures should be written in clear writing. Any kind of over writing and cutting
should be prevented. Otherwise it would not be passed and returned to the customer.
If the cheques are payees accounts head or they have marked bearer then these cheques are not labeled
token.
5. VERIFICATIION OF SIGNATURES
Signatures are checked as well as verified. In case of other representative of the account holder brings the
cheque then two signatures of that person are taken.
6. STAMPS
Any account holder that has opened the account he/she could credit his/her account and for this purpose
there should be a cheque book, so he/she could be able to credit the needed amount whatever he/she
wishes. For the issuance of the cheque book a person is advised to fill a requisite slip with his/her full
names and the account number with two verified signatures. These signatures are checked and then another
requisite slip prepared by the bank staff send to the NIFT, and it issues the printed cheque books after
completion of the procedure in two or three days.
Account holder can take it by singing on the issuance register or if the absence of the account holder
another person could also take the cheque book only if he/she has authorized signature of the account
holder. When the cheque books are issued they are feed in the computer system from the requisite slip so
when the cheques are given for the credit/transfer of amount they could checked. In this way neither the
cheques could be repeated nor could the invalid cheques be claimed.
ISSUANCE OF ATM CARDS
Head office issues ATM (Auto Teller Machine) cards with their PIN (Personal Identification Number)
codes and when the customer claims for their ATM card they are checked from the list that is also issued
from the head office, and the claim is checked from the list and if the name is found than the cards are
issued by taking a signature and their PIN codes are given to them by taking signatures on their ATM card
forms. The ATM card has been activated by the number provided at or with the specific card.
If folded or damaged
Stolen
The cancellation or inactivity of the card is being processed by the request or instructions provided from the
customer.
SALE OF RTC
The selling of the RTC has been described in step wise as follow:
In this step the bank initially seeks the information whether the person is going to purchase the RTCs on
cash or on account basis. If the transaction is based on account then initially the cheque has been cleared
than if the amount is sufficient than RTC has been issued after deducting after the amount from the
account.
If the amount of RTC is more than Rs. 25000 than tax has levied by 0.3% in case of absence of the tax
deduction form. After this the bank handed over a form for RTC sale dully filled by the concerned person
and after this RTC number has been noted on the form as well as their amount and quantity. After this we
note down the sold RTC in the concerned register. MCB Pak rupee travelers cheques the fastest way to
carry cash for high value cash transactions. MCB rupee travelers, the market leader in the rupee travelers
cheque market in Pakistan is celebrating nine years of leadership in July 2002. Launched in July 1993,

This department deals with the approval of different kinds of loans to different business entities. The loans,
which are being approved by the department, are kept with some securities such as bonds, properties and
any other type of asset, which is equally valuable or more than this as a guarantee. Every branch has its
own limit, if the amount of loans is with in the limit of the branch then it is being approved by the branch
but if the amount of loan is exceeding the limit then it has to make it approved by the head office. In this
case the branch stored all the required papers and sent them to the head office for necessary action. If the
head office approved the loan then mostly the period contains a year. And if the party requires more loan
than after a year the loan has been re-approved required that they should have the limit. In case if the head
office do not approve the loans then the return letter came back with the reasons of not approval of loan and
if the reasons have been made approved by the concerned party then it could be sent again for approval.
