individuals, companies and industrial concerns. Loan may be regarded as credit
granted where the money is disbursed and its recovery is made on a later date. It
is a debt for the borrower. Advance is a credit facility granted by the bank. Bank

help in meeting short term and long term financial needs of business enterprises.
Loan and Advances comprise the most important asset as well as the primary
sources of earning of the bank .On the other hand .loan is also the major sources
of risk for the bank management A prudent bank management should always try
to make an appropriate balance between return and risk involved with the loan
portfolio and unregulated bank might be with unregulated risk for maximizing its
potential return .In such a situation, bank might find itself in a serious financial
distress instead of improving its financial health .Consequently not only the
depositors but also the general shareholders will be deprived of getting back their
money from the bank.
Loans and advances mean lending made by the bank to weak clients for earning
interest. Main objective of the loans and advances is to earn profit for the bank.
On an average of 75%to 80% of the banks earning come from interest received
against the loans and advances of a bank.
The role played by banks in business world by way of loans and advances are as
follows-
       Bank does not interfere with the use, management and control of borrowed
        money but takes care to ensure that the money lent is used only in business
        purpose.
       Loan and advances are utilized for making payment of current liabilities, wages
        and salaries of the employees and also the tax liability of business.
       Loan and Advances from banks are found to be economical for traders and
        businessman because banks charge a reasonable rate of interest on such loans
        and advances.
       Loan and advances can be arranged from banks in keeping with the flexibility in
        business operation.
       Loan and advances by Banks generally carry element of secrecy with it. Banks
        are duty-bound to maintain secrecy of their transactions with the customers.

demand and time liabilities in the form of cash and approved securities with

   8. Loan Against Trust Receipt(LTR):

the bank for clearance of goods from the port (custom) and keep the same to
bank go down. Proper sanction from the competent authority is to be obtained
before clearance of consignment. For giving these types of loan, officer makes

       or other goods pledged to the Bank as security are given without payment.

       obtained.
      The customer holds the goods or their sale-proceeds in trust for the Bank, till

The Trust Receipt is a document that creates the Banker’s lien on the goods and
practically amounts to hypothecation of the proceeds of sale in discharge of the
lien.

to take this loan. If a person has a FDR or MDS deposit in UBL he can get the

examples are given below—-
For CC loan:
Ripon karmakar, is a businessman. His loan amount is 7 00,000 lacks. For taking
the loan first he has to open an account. In 2 to 3 months he has to transact up to
tk 50,000 thousand to 2,00,000 lacks. The time period of the loan is 3 years.

       Papers of land.
       Voter ID card/

        Fixed Deposit statement.
        Statement of provident fund.

Loan sanction and recovery scenario in UBL for last five years
From the above table it has been observed that the loan disbursement of UBL
has a successive record. But the point being observed here is that the loan
recovery process follows a chronological fall from the FY 2005-06 to the FY
2009-10. This is because the loan disbursed among the projects are collected or
recovered on an installment basis. However, the loan amount each year has
been increased. Therefore there must have an increase in recovery amount. But
the amount of written-off loans has been increased. This indicates a controversial
cause and effect between theoretical and practical situation.
(E.g. in the case of change in recovery rate for FY2005-06, base FY=2005-06
and preceding FY=2004-05)
FINDINGS
       The loan and advance department takes a long time to process a loan because
        the process of sanctioning loan is done manually. Since loan and advances
        department is not fully automated there is a high risk of losing documents of
        disbursed loans.
       In case of advances in different sectors the rate of interest is too high. Because
        the rate of interest in Small Business Loan is 16%, Loan Against Work Order
        16.5% and Uttaran House Repairing Loan is 17%, which all the rate of interest
        are higher than that of other some banks.
       Small entrepreneurs are discouraged because UBL usually do not want to
        finance small entrepreneurs whose financial standing is not clean to them.
       The Bank has a tendency to give loan only businessman. In 2010 the sector wise
        loan sanction shows that 55.11% in industrial sector and 28.5% in commercial
        sector.
       UBL does not grant loans for new entrepreneurs, new businessman and new
        companies etc, which ultimately create “class banking”
       In terms of law and order sometimes it is very difficult for the bank to liquidate the
        collateral, which makes the borrowers unable to pay the debt.
       The bank does not provide more loan in the small and cottage industry and the
        agricultural, Fishing, and Forestry also.
       Installment period and installment time duration is relatively low. Because the
        installment time duration is monthly or 6 th periods in a year for this reason
        borrower can not utilize their debt facility properly for profit maximization.
       There are some mortgage problem such as acquisition, proprietorship and
        problem of asset.
       The loan and advances strategy of the UBL is not appropriate enough to survive
        in the market.
       Maximum amount of the loans are provided in the long-term industrial loan
        sector.
       Not enough innovative products.
       Online banking facilities, ATM services and mobile Banking facility are not
        available.
       Absence of ethical banking or green banking.
       Uttara bank limited does not update its Websites regularly, as a result the clients
        are unable to gather information.
Conclusion
Loan and advances granted by Uttara Bank Ltd are highly beneficial for firms,
individuals, companies and industrial concerns. Loan may be regarded as credit
granted where the money is disbursed and its recovery is made on a later date. It
is a debt for the borrower. Advance is a credit facility granted by the bank. Bank
granted advances for short term purposes. Loan and advances granted by banks
help in meeting short term and long term financial needs of business enterprises.
Loan and Advances comprise the most important asset as well as the primary
sources of earning of the bank . A prudent bank management should always try
to make an appropriate balance between return and risk involved with the loan
portfolio and unregulated bank might be with unregulated risk for maximizing its
potential return .In such a situation, bank might find itself in a serious financial
distress instead of improving its financial health .Consequently not only the
depositors but also the general shareholders will be deprived of getting back their
money from the bank. Credit Division of Uttara Bank has a very qualified and
dedicated group of officers and staffs who are always trying to provide the best
service to the clients. They always monitor the credit in different sectors and their
position. Before providing the loan they analyze whether the loan will be
profitable and whether the client is good enough to repay the loan within the
given period of time. Credit department diversified their loans in different sectors
classified by them. Among the sectors the bank doesn’t provide more loans in the
agricultural side. The reason showed that this sector is very risky and depends
on natural climate and still didn’t expand their service in the rural side. The bank
also does not provide more loan in the small & cottage industry. The reason is
that the return from this sector is not very good and also the sector is very
uncertain. The bank provides most of the credit facility in term loan mainly in
long-term loans. Return from short-term loan is very good and also proves to be
very safe to finance.
