A private bank has its net-banking facility provided with a software. Only when I install the software I will be able to use the facility. Now they have different versions of the software for Windows and MAC. There is no separate version for Linux. Is it possible to install a .pkg file (which is intended for MAC) in Ubuntu?

You wont be able to use a Mac program in Ubuntu (as far as I know of), you can, however, try and get the Windows version working with Wine which lets you run some Windows programs on Ubuntu.

Wine (originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator") is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, Mac OSX, & BSD

Install Wine with this command in terminal:

sudo apt-get install wine

Then try to right click the Windows program, choose "Open With > Winw Windows Program Loader".

Alternatively, you could install Windows into a Virtual Machine, running a full copy of Windows inside Ubuntu, (assuming you own a copy of Windows) and run the program in there. You could use VirtualBox or VMWare Player. This will take a bit more setup.
