Abstract:
Bank Alfalah Limited through its hard work, enthusiasm and zeal has moved rapidly in
expanding its branches, deposits, products and services. It is offering a number of
products to its customers and among them one of is the consumers products in which
Alfalah offers home financing, car leasing and credit cards. The bank for this is targeting
the middle level segment that due to limited income can not enjoy all the luxuries of life.
Since this is the segment that after paying all the expenses has left with small portion of
income to enjoy therefore the risk of non performing loans from consumer side is
increasing year by year. Today the recovery issue of consumer loans is in fact a headache
for all banks. My thesis will be covering all aspects of recovery issue with respect to
consumer loans as the thesis deals with the
“The recovery problem of consumer loans of Bank Alfalah”
For the thesis I will be gathering information about the policies of the bank Alfalah that
it considers before granting any consumer loans, the eligibility criteria, recovery
procedure of the bank, the provisioning which it is doing for the consumer loans and the
documents needed to apply for the loans. In short I will be engage in doing the SWOT
analysis of the policies and recovery procedure in which the bank is currently engage in
and for this I will also be viewing the credit screening of the bank Alfalah.
In order to obtain information I will prepare questionnaire that has to be filled by the
people working in the Bank Alfalah e.g. consumer finance in charge, people working in
the credit risk units etc. I will also take in to consideration the bad debts figure of the
bank and general provisioning of the year 2007 and 2006.
In the end I will be highlighting the mistakes and issues that the bank Alfalah is doing
and will give suggestions to the bank in order to reduce the problem of non performing
loans.
