2.5 Summary

Banking started in Pakistan after the courageous and developing decision of
formulation of State Bank of Pakistan on July 30, 1948. Thereafter this sector
has witnessed enormous growth. In 1974 banks were nationalized, in the hope
that new era of growth could be achieved through it. However the process is
reverse since 1991, up till now MCB, ABL, and UBL have been privatized
and HBL is in the process of its privatization and NBP is a just bank in
banking industry which is under regulation of Govt.
Banks acts as financial agents to their customer; in return they get reward for
their services. Banks play important role in development of society. A strong
economy must have a good banking system. In this chapter we seen NBP
importance and functioning through which I concluded that it is playing a vital
role in development of banking sector in Pakistan as well as in country.
CHAPTER # 03
INTRODUCTION OF NBP
Introduction:
In this Chapter I am going to clarify the analysis of the organization that
contains brief history of NBP, what is the management structure of NBP, how
many departments are there, and their working. Current staff members of the
branch, their qualification and experience, salary structure, and promotion
strategy. What are the responsibilities of their employees, incentives and
motivation methods. Working hours of the organization, physical facilities
(working environment) provided to the employees. How they communicated
with in the organization. A critical analysis of the branch, its performance in

terms of customer satisfaction, and at the end latest budget review of the
branch.
3.1.1 Brief history of the organization:

The NBP was established vide NBP Ordinance No. XIX of November 9.
1949. British Govt. devalued its currency in September 1949, India devalued
its rupees but Pakistan did not. It led to a crisis in trading between the two
countries and India refused to lift the Pakistan Jute. To solve this problem i.e.
to export jute NBP was established through an Ordinance of GOP. National
Bank of Pakistan maintains its position as Pakistan's premier bank determined
to set higher standards of achievements. It is the major business partner for the
Government of Pakistan with special emphasis on fostering Pakistan's
economic growth through aggressive and balanced lending policies,
technologically oriented products and services offered through its large
network of branches locally, internationally and representative offices.
National Bank of Pakistan is the largest commercial bank operating in
Pakistan. Its balance sheet size surpasses that of any of the other banks
functioning locally. It has redefined its role and has moved from a public
sector organization into a modern commercial bank. The Bank's services are
available to individuals, corporate entities and government. While it continues
to act as trustee of public funds and as the agent to the State Bank of Pakistan
(in places where SBP does not have a presence) it has diversified its business
portfolio and is today a major lead player in the debt equity market, corporate
investment banking, retail and consumer banking, agricultural financing,
treasury services and is showing growing interest in promoting and developing
the country's small and medium enterprises and at the same time fulfilling its
social responsibilities, as a corporate citizen. National Bank of Pakistan has
built an extensive branch network with 1250 branches in Pakistan and operates
in major business centre abroad. The Bank has representative offices in
Beijing, Tashkent, Chicago and Toronto. It has agency arrangements with
more than 3000 correspondent banks worldwide. Its subsidiaries are Taurus
Securities Ltd, NBP Exchange Company Ltd, NBP Capital Ltd, NBP
Modaraba Management Company Ltd, and CJSC Bank, Almaty, Kazakhstan .

The Bank's joint ventures are, United National Bank (UK), First Investment
Bank and NAFA, an Asset Management Company (a joint venture with NIB
Bank & Fullerton Fund Management of Singapore).
The Bank's financial performance has been remarkable. In 2006, total assets
are estimated at Rs635 billion, while deposits have grown to nearly Rs502
billion. Pre-tax profit rose to Rs26 billion. Earnings per share have jumped to
Rs24.01 in 2006. The increase in profit was achieved through strong growth in
core banking income. Interest income increased by Rs10 billion through
growth in the loan portfolio as well as increase in spreads.
Advances increased by Rs48 billion to Rs316 billion. The Bank maintains a
sound loan portfolio diversified in nature to counter the risk of credit
concentration. It ranges from providing credit to the un-banked market
segment under NBP Karobar, to small and medium enterprises, to agricultural
loans, to large corporate customers.
The Bank has also played an important role in financing the country’s growing
trade, which has expended through the years as diversification took place.
Today the Bank finances import/export business to the tune of Rs.62.17billion,
whereas in 1960 financing under this head was only Rs.1.54billion.
The field is being de-layered to improve customer services and enable faster
decision making. As a result of this de-layering zones have been eliminated
and the numbers of regions have been increased. Organizational hierarchy at
the regional level has been restructured and operational and business activities
have been completely separated. This separation will improve communication,
decision making and promote teamwork.
For the third consecutive year, the Bank is recognized as the best Bank in
Pakistan for the year 2004 by the prestigious periodical. “The Banker” UK (a
subsidiary of Financial Times Group).

3.1.3 DEPARTMENTATION OF NBP

The Departments functioning at NBP as briefed by its concerned officers during
the internship are:
 Cash Department
 Clearance Department.

 Remittance Department.
 Advances Department.
CASH DEPARTMENT
Cash department performs the following functions
Receipt
The money, which either comes or goes out from the bank, its record should
be kept. Cash department performs this function. The deposits of all customers
of the bank are controlled by means of ledger accounts. Every customer has its
own ledger account and has separate ledger cards.
Payments
It is a banker’s primary contract to repay money received for this customer’s

account usually by honoring his cheques.
Cheques and their Payment
The Negotiable Instruments. Act, 1881
“Cheque is a bill of exchange drawn on a specified banker and not expressed

to be payable otherwise than on demand”.
Since a Cheque has been declared to be a bill of exchange, it must have all its
characteristics as mentioned in Section 5 of the Negotiable Instruments Act,
1881. Therefore, one can say that a Cheque can be defined as an:
“An unconditional order in writing drawn on a specified banker, signed by the

drawer, requiring the banker to pay on demand a sum certain in money to, or
to the order of, a specified person or to the bearer, and which does not order
any act to be done in addition to the payment of money”.
CLEARANCE DEPARTMENT

A clearinghouse is an association of commercial banks set up in given locality
for the purpose of interchange and settlement of credit claims. The function of
clearinghouse is performed by the central bank of a country by tradition or by
law. In Pakistan, the clearing system is operated by the SBP. If SBP has no
office at a place, then NBP, as a representative of SBP act as a clearinghouse.
After the World War II, a rapid growth in banking institutions has taken place.
The use of cheques in making payments has also widely increased. The
collection as settlement of mutual obligations in the form of cheques is now a
big task for all the commercial bank. When Cheque is drawn on one bank and
the holder (payee) deposits the same in his account at the bank of the drawer,
the mutual obligation are settled by the internal bank administration and there
arises no interbank debits from the use of cheques. The total assets and total
liabilities of the bank remain unchanged.
In practice, the person receiving a Cheque as rarely a depositor of the cheque

at the same bank as the drawer. He deposits the cheque with his bank other
than of payer for the collection of the amount. Now the bank in which the
cheque has been deposited becomes a creditor of the drawer’s bank. The
depositor bank will pay his amount of the cheque by transferring it from cash
reserves if there are no offsetting transactions. The banks on which the
cheques are drawn become in debt to the bank in which the cheques are
deposited. At the same time, the creditors’ banks receive large amounts of
cheques drawn on other banks giving claims of payment by them.
The easy, safe and most efficient way is to offset the reciprocal claims against
the other and receive only the net amount owned by them. This facility of net
interbank payment is provided by the clearinghouse.
The representatives of the local commercial banks meet at a fixed time on all
the business days of the week. The meeting is held in the office of the bank
that officially performs the duties of clearinghouse. The representatives of the
commercial banks deliver the cheques payable at other local banks and receive
the cheques drawn on their bank. The cheques are then sorted according to the
bank on which they are drawn. A summary sheet is prepared which shows the

names of the banks, the total number of cheques delivered and received by
them. Totals are also made of all the cheques presented by or to each bank.
The difference between the total represents the amount to be paid by a
particular bank and the amount to be received by it. Each bank then receives
the net amount due to it or pays the net amount owed by it.
In-Word Clearing Books
The bank uses this book for the purpose of recording all the cheques that are
being received by the bank in the first clearing. All details of the cheques are
recorded in this book.
Out-Word Clearing Book:
The bank uses outward clearing register for the purpose of recording all the
details of the cheques that the bank has delivered to other banks.
ADVANCES DEPARTMENT
Advances department is one of the most sensitive and important departments

of the bank. The major portion of the profit is earned through this department.
The job of this department is to make proposals about the loans. The Credit
Management Division of Head Office directly controls all the advances. As we
known bank is a profit seeking institution. It attracts surplus balances from the
customers at low rate of interest and makes advances at a higher rate of
interest to the individuals and business firms. Credit extensions are the most
important activity of all financial institutions, because it is the main source of

earning. However, at the same time, it is a very risky task and the risk cannot
be completely eliminated but could be minimized largely with certain
techniques. Any individual or company, who wants loan from NBP, first of all
has to undergo the filling of a prescribed form, which provides the following
information to the banker.
Name and address of the borrower.

a) Existing financial position of a borrower at a particular branch.
b) Accounts details of other banks (if any).
c) Security against loan.
d) Exiting financial position of the company. And Signing a promissory

note is also a requirement of lending, through this note borrower
promise that he will be responsible to pay the certain amount of money
with interest.
Principles of Advances
There are five principles, which must be duly observed while advancing
money to the borrowers.
a. Safety
b. Liquidity
c. Dispersal
d. Remuneration
e. Suitability
Forms of Loans
In addition to purchase and discounting of bills, bankers in Pakistan generally

lend in the form of cash finance, overdrafts and loans. NBP provides advances
to different people in different ways as the case demand.
a) Cash Finance

This is a very common form of borrowing by commercial and industrial
concerns and is made available either against pledge or hypothecation of
goods, produce or merchandise. In cash finance a borrower is allowed to
borrow money from the banker up to a certain limit, either at once or as and
when required. The borrower prefers this form of lending due to the facility of
paying markup/services charges only on the amount he actually utilizes.If the
borrower does not utilize the full limit, the banker has to lose return on the un-
utilized amount. In order to offset this loss, the banker may provide for a
suitable clause in the cash finance agreement, according to which the borrower
has to pay markup/service charges on at least on self or one quarter of the
amount of cash finance limit allowed to him even when he does not utilize that
amount.
b) Overdraft/Running Finance
This is the most common form of bank lending. When a borrower requires
temporary accommodation his banker allows withdrawals on his account in
excess of the balance, which the borrowing customer has in credit, and an
overdraft thus occurs. This accommodation is generally allowed against
collateral securities. When it is against collateral securities it is called
“Secured Overdraft” and when the borrowing customer cannot offer any
collateral security except his personal security, the accommodation is called a
“Clean Overdraft”. The borrowing customer is in an advantageous position in
an overdraft, because he has to pay service charges only on the balance
outstanding against him. The main difference between a cash finance and
overdraft lies in the fact that cash finance is a bank finance used for long term
by commercial and industrial concern on regular basis, while an overdraft is a
temporary accommodation occasionally resorted to.
c) Demand Financing/Loans
When a customer borrows from a banker a fixed amount repayable either in

periodic installments or in lump sum at a fixed future time, it is called a
“loan”. When bankers allow loans to their customers against collateral

securities they are called “secured loans” and when no collateral security is
taken they are called “clean loans”.
The amount of loan is placed at the borrower’s disposal in lump sum for the
period agreed upon, and the borrowing customer has to pay interest on the
entire amount. Thus the borrower gets a fixed amount of money for his use,
while the banker feels satisfied in lending money in fixed amounts for definite
short periods against a satisfactory security.
REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT
Remittance means a sum of money sent in payment for something. This

department deals with either the transfer of money from one bank to other
bank or from one branch to another branch for their customers. NBP offers the
following forms of remittances.
a) Demand Draft
b) Pay Order
c) Mail Transfer
Demand Draft
Demand draft is a popular mode of transfer. The customer fills the application
form. Application form includes the beneficiary name, account number and a
sender’s name. The customer deposits the amount of DD in the branch. After
the payment the DD is prepared and given to the customer. NBP officials note
the transaction in issuance register on the page of that branch of NBP on
which DD is drawn and will prepare the advice to send to that branch. The
account of the customer is credited when the DD advice from originating
branch comes to the responding branch and the account is debited when DD
comes for clearance. DD are of two types.
a) Open DD: Where direct payment is made.
b) Cross DD: Where payment is made though account.

NBP CHARGES FOR DD
I. Up to Rs. 50,000/- is Rs 50/- only
II. Over Rs. 50,000/- is 0.1%
Pay Order
Pay order is made for local transfer of money. Pay order is the most
convenient, simple and secure way of transfer of money. NBP takes fixed
commission of Rs. 25 per pay order from the account holder and Rs. 100 from
a non-account holder.
Mail Transfer
When the money is not required immediately, the remittances can also be
made by mail transfer (MT). Here the selling office of the bank sends
instructions in writing by mail to the paying bank for the payment of a
specified amount of money. Debiting to the buyer’s account at the selling
office and crediting to the recipient’s account at the paying bank make the
payment under this transfer. NBP taxes mail charges from the applicant where
no excise duty is charged. Postage charges on mail transfer are actual
minimum Rs. 40/- if sent by registered post locally Rs.40/- if sent by
registered post inland on party’s request.

TYPES OF BRANCHES
There are a lot of different branches of National Bank of Pakistan. We explain
them one by one.
 There are main branches in every city. In one city there is only one
main branch, it is directly under the zonal office.
 Then there are commercial branches. These are the ordinary branches
and are in the commercial areas such as the Mall Road Branch.
 The Industrial Branches are exclusively in industrial zones.
 There are also Residential Branches. These are exclusively in
residential colonies.
 Another type is the Mixed Branch such as civil secretariat branch.
Every kind of work is done.
 There are also Project Branches created for specific purposes i-e the
project and are at the site.
 Another unique type is the Model Branch. No other bank in Pakistan

has these. In these branches all the work is done by the officers. Even
the officers sit on the counters. Model Branches are in Karachi, Lahore
and Islamabad.

3.2 Current staff:
The branch staff is consisting of 6 members. Which include manager, cashier,
and four security guards. Staff of bank is too much cooperative with each
other as well as with customers. They try their best to provide best services to
their customers according to customer’s requirements.
3.2.1 Current staff of branch according to qualification and

experience
Current staff of the branch is not well educated but they have no. of year’s
experience which help them to achieve their targets effectively and efficiently.
Manager qualification is B.Sc in Math, Stats, and Economics with experience
of 14 years.
Cashier qualification is B.A with 19 years experience.
And in guards one’s qualification is metric and remaining is under metric.
3.2.2 Training Received By No. Employees

National bank of Pakistan has its national and development centers and 4 staff
collages at: -
1. Karachi
2. Lahore
3. Peshawar
4. Islamabad
In these centers and staff colleges, the banking training is provided to the
officers, managers, and to potential managers. It arranges courses and
seminars for middle and higher management in all. Each year almost 1500
persons receive training over there.
Each employee of NBP before starting its work practically in bank and after
selection as employee in bank get training and then come on job properly.
3.2.3 Workload
Workloads means how many hours they work in bank or facilitate the
customers on daily basis .Here as we are concerned with National bank of
Pakistan, they facilitate their customers 9am to 1.30pm and done their work

7hours according to official requirement which includes done post pone work,
closings and adjusting balances etc.
3.2.4 Salary structure

Salary structure includes performance bonuses, incentives and basic salary.
The salary structure of NBP is based on seniority plus performance base.
Employees get their fixed salary plus additional bonuses and incentives
according to their performance.
3.2.5 Promotion system

NBP promotion system based on performance and experience of employees.
Manager promoted by his/her performance and through increase in sales.
While lower management promotion system differ than higher management.
Promotion system of NBP varies with the designations or level of employees
jobs. As in Karianwala (2025) if the manager perform well on continuous
basis that is terms of sales and deposits then he will be promoted. But when
we talk about the promotion of lower level staff then they promoted on their
deposits plus operational performance, that how well they manage their daily
operational activities.
3.2.6 Incentives & motivation

If the employees take deposit for the bank, they will be given incentives in the
percentage of amount taken as deposit. For instance, if Saving Officers or any
other employees bring deposit, they are given incentives of some % of the
total amount which is given to them with monthly income; these are the
motivational factors for the employees as well as incentive. If loan officers
perform well their
duties means that screening of clients in well and efficient manner, they are
appreciated by the Branch Manager and by completion of screening, every
incentive is added in their monthly salary, so these are also the motivational
factors for the employees working in NBP.
3.2.7 Responsibilities

Manager operational is responsible for all affairs of branch. He is answerable
for all assign tasks and he is totally answerable as internal controller of the
branch. He is responsible to take duty from all employees any lapses, causes is
negligence.
3.3 Critical analysis of the branch

NBP Karianwala branch It is true that bank is trying to adopting computerized
system but their most of staff is unable to use computerized system or not
familiar with computer. There are no proper facilities in bank for customer. No
proper facilities for old age people, they face so many problems in bank. There
is no any shop for bank staff so that they can bring something for themselves
or their guests in break time. Their all system is manual so much time waste in
different process. There is also an electricity problem in this bank. There is
reduction of staff in some departments, so they complete almost their work
from internees. There is reduction of law & order, so sometimes branch faces
so many problems especially in the dates of pensions. All types of pensioners
are treated same day that’s why this creates problems.
3.3.1 Communication
Communication system between branch employees is very good and admiring.
They easily communicate their problems with each other The employees of
NBP (2025) are all linked with each other from top to lower management. So
when any problem arises in branch they just discuss with each and solve it in
few minutes. We can say that there is open and simple communication system
within branch. But there is one flaw that there is high communication gap
between head office and branches because it take a lot time to reach in head
office and in taken approval.
3.3.2 Hiring system

The hiring system of employees is conduct by two ways; firstly, the employee
is interviewed by the branch manager and then his/ her CV is transferred to the
head office and he is again interviewed and give test to the Human Resource
Manager of head office or regional office and after fulfilling the whole

requirements of policies given by the Head Office, he or she is selected as an
employee for the branch where he or she is needed.
3.3.3 Morale of staff

There is a good morale in staff of the whole branch, the staff covenant with
one another in a good way and there is no concept of jealousy and leg pulling
among staff. They behave with each other and also with me in a good way
during the period of my internship and there is just like a family atmosphere.
3.3.4 Physical facilities

The NBP branch of Karianwala is not well established, no air conditioning
facility is available in the whole branch but there are separate rooms for
officers. Cash officers do not have Computer system on their tables, there is
also shortage of office equipment on their tables, he has just calculator as
helping material for huge amount of calculations.
3.4 Performances:
There are two types of performance measurement one of them is customer
satisfaction and other is in terms of sales (number of account averagely open
in a month).
In term of quality
First I am going to focusing on customer satisfaction, in NBP (2025) all
employees were very experienced people so, they always deal the customer
politely and in very impressive way. That’s why they can easily attracting and
retaining the customer in this competitive environment. Only due to customer
satisfaction and trust on bank products NBP (2025) achieve very best
performance with respect to its operational time or activation time.
In term of quality
Secondly sales or no. of Accounts is based on the how much a banker can
satisfy and attract the customer. In NBP in which I done my internship its age
is 2 years but its customer volume spreads to 1300, which is remarkable
according to budget point of view. Bank not just achieved its budgeted target

fixed by higher management but also extend them up to 65% of fixed earning
targets.
3.5 Latest budget review

Deposit target has been increase up to 63% of the base (last financial year
date) & advances target has been fixed 45% of the base.
Earning target has been increase fixed up to 35% of the base.
3.6 Summary
During my stay in National Bank of Pakistan, I found it as among one of the
best banks in Pakistan. As an internee, I enjoy working there. NBP has a very
cooperative staff .I worked there in very congenial and supportive
environment.
According to Euro money magazine the leading journal of UK in the month of
March 05 declared:
“NBP is the only Pakistani bank which has been
Ranked among the top100 banks of Asia”
It offers very good package of salary and benefits to its employees.
Management is trying to regulate a system for promotions. It has both contract
as well as regular employees as it beliefs on the use of strangeness for the
cross fertilization of ideas. It has unlimited offers for its employees in the
areas of economic well being &development. National bank of Pakistan gives
many benefits and allowances to their employees (executives, officers, clerical
& non clerical staff).

DIFFERENT ANALYSIS OF ORGANIZATION

Introduction:
This chapter consisted on different analysis of NBP. In this chapter I will
analyze NBP through different perspectives, I will conduct different analysis
to realize the actual financial position of NBP.
5.1 SWOT ANALYSIS

SWOT Analysis is a strategic planning method used to evaluate the Strengths,
Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats involved in a project or in a business
venture. It involves specifying the objective of the business venture or project
and identifying the internal and external factors that are favorable and
unfavorable to achieving that objective.If SWOT analysis does not start with
defining a desired end state or objective, it runs the risk of being useless. A
SWOT analysis may be incorporated into the strategic planning model. An
example of a strategic planning technique that incorporates an objective-
driven SWOT analysis is SCAN analysis. Strategic Planning, including
SWOT and SCAN analysis, has been the subject of much research.
 Strengths: Attributes of the organization that is helpful to achieving

the objective.
 Weaknesses: Attributes of the organization that is harmful to
achieving the objective.

4.2 PEST ANALYSIS

It is very important that an organization considers its environment before
beginning the marketing process. In fact, environmental analysis should be
continuous and feed all aspects of planning. The organization's marketing
environment is made up of:
1. The internal environment e.g. staff (or internal customers), office

technology, wages and finance, etc.
2. The micro-environment e.g. our external customers, agents and distributors,

suppliers, our competitors, etc.
3. The macro-environment e.g. Political (and legal) forces, Economic forces,

Sociocultural forces, and Technological forces. These are known as PEST
factors.
Political:
 Privatization policy and deregulation.

 Impact of subsidized credit affecting and NCB’s.
 Employment practices, Unions, Associations.
 Political Interference and harassment.
 Incidents of high taxation on banking industry.
Economical:
 Constraints in mobilization of public savings because of inflation.

 Staff cost.
 Operating cost.
 Bad debts
Social & Cultural:

 Inadequate human resources.
 Cultural strain to savings.
 Defaulter’s lobby.
 Declining education and work ethics.
 Inadequate accountability.
 Adequate empowerment.
Technological:
 Inadequate communication infrastructure.

 Inadequate computer facilities.
 Inadequate IT training

5.3 Ratios analysis:
Ratio Analysis enables the business owner/manager to spot trends in a
business and to compare its performance and condition with the average
performance of similar businesses in the same industry. To do this compare
your ratios with the average of businesses similar to yours and compare your
own ratios for several successive years, watching especially for any
unfavorable trends that may be starting. Ratio analysis may provide the all-
important early warning indications that allow you to solve your business
problems before your business is destroyed by them.
Ratio means “one number expressed in term of another a ratio is statistical
yardstick by mean of which relationship between two or various figures can be
compared or measured. Here we are going to explain the ratio analysis of
NBP (bank) which is little bit different from other organizations.
Profitability Ratios:
Profitability means “Measure of the ability of business to generate returns for
the business or for the owner” or “Overall effectiveness of the management is
known as profitability”
Here we will calculate Solvency ratios of NBP to evaluate its financial
position.
To calculate this ratios we needed these items Operating profit, net profit,
operating fixed assets, total assets, total investments with in business,
operating fixed assets.
Earnings Ratios 2007 2008 2009
ROA 2.72% 1.96% 2.07%

ROE 19.20% 14.13% 16.41%
ROD 3.48% 2.54% 2.70%
Critical Analysis:

The earnings ratios of NBP were higher in 2007 but due to economic crisis
return decreases but now the economic activities are accelerating that’s why
the NBP returns also increases that Is the good symbol for the future of NBP
Debt Management.

Critical Analysis
Earning assets of the NBP almost have no effect of the world recession but the
improvement in advances against the deposit reflects that the people of
Pakistan have less money to deposit and they are encourage to get loan from
the bank.
Growth Rates
Growth Rates 2007 2008 2009
Profits After Tax 11.82% -18.78% 17.81%

Return on Assets -2.95% -28.71% 5.64%

income(before
provision)
Critical Analysis
This table of ratios is telling about the future of banking sector in Pakistan. In
2007 all the world was under the recession and it also affects the economy of
Pakistan. Banks are the industry that was hardly hit by this recession and the
profits of all banks convert into negatives but in 2009 hope for bright future
arises because now the NBP come back on the track and generating the profit.

NBP portion of advances in the portfolio has increases and others have the
decreasing trend.
5.4 Summary
The summary of is SWOT Analysis, PEST Analysis and ratios Analysis of

NBP. To know how NBP can compete well and how to maintain its position in
the market as a best services organization. In conclusion we can say that the
global economic environment has changed, creating challenges and

opportunities for the world’s policy makers. The privatization drive has
emerged as a strong tool of transformation, which is being recognized as an
essential ingredient for the economic wellbeing. Now there is a greater
awareness that in an interdependent world all countries gain individually,
these countries should be a positive contributor to world economic growth as
whole. Banks are playing very important role in the economic growth of the
countries. N.B.P no doubts a positive contributor in this respect but I think
there are certain points by adopting which can serve more effectively and
efficiently. Those points are discussed in next chapter.
CHAPTER # 6
RECOMMENDATIONS & SUGGETIONS
INTRODUCTION
NBP is an effectively operating and profit making organization and carrying

out its activities under a specified system of procedure. The main regulatory
body is State Bank of Pakistan, which provides policy guidelines and ensures
that the money market operates on sound professional basis. While the head

office specifies the whole procedure of function and operations. This
procedure has been modernized with the passage of time with a view to
streamline the approach and underlying procedure for effective overhauling of
its own capabilities so as to bring them at par with international practices.
Here I am giving some suggestions, which in my view can add some input for
efficiency and better performance of NBP as an organization in general and
City branch in particular.
The recommendations are as follows:
 Professional training
NBP staff lacks professionalism. They lack the necessary training to do the job
efficiently and properly. Although staff colleges in all major cities but they are
not performing well. For this purpose these staff colleges should be
reorganized and their syllabus should be made in such a way to help the
employee understand the ever-changing global economic scenario.
Banking council of Pakistan should also initiate some programs to equip the
staff with much needed professional training.
 Delegation of authority
Employees of the bank should be given a task and authority and they should
be asked for their responsibility.
 Performance Appraisal
The manager should strictly monitor the performance of every staff member.
All of them should be awarded according to their performance and result in
the shape of bonuses to motivated and incite them to work more efficiently.
 Transfer
Transfer is not properly carried out. Some of the employees are continually
serving at the same post. They are simply rotated at the same branch.

Therefore it is recommended that evenly rotation of every employee should
take place after every three years in different branches of the bank.
 Changes in Policies
There should not be any abrupt policies change by the upper management, as
this practice hurts the customer confidences in the bank. Government should
make long-term policies
 Need of Qualified Staff
Required, qualified staff should be provided to branch in order to improve the

functioning of the branch. Especially a telephone operator should be
appointed.
 Utility Bill Charges
Bank gets Rs. 10 to processes a utility bill, and it is very tire, tough and hard
job. These charges should be increased to RS 15 per bill to enable the branch
to cover their handling costs and make some profit.
 Link with the Head Quarter
100 major branches of NBP should established a direct link with the, head
quarter In Karachi, through Internet or Intranet. This will make the functions
and decision making of the management easier and convenient.
 Credit Card
National bank of Pakistan should start its operation in credit card. These cards
are very helpful for the ordinary customer in general and the business people
in particular. To make it more secure and to eliminate the misuse of it, the
management is required to keep proper security against the card.
 Installing Validator and ATM

Validator machine is used to count the currency notes and its installation will
help to eliminate to counting errors and will save time.
This branch is situated in the City, which is supported to be the hub of

business activates. In this area an auto teller machine (ATM) is the need of the
hour businessmen can easily check their balance in the bank and also with
draw their money conveniently.
 Clean Loans
Clean loan or clean overdraft is the credit facility extended to the customers to
the customers without any security. These types of small term loans should not
be extended to anybody, because sometime these loans are provided to blue-
eyed people of the management and they become a part of bad debts.
 Cash Financing
In this mode of financing the amount of credit not utilized by the borrower is
remained tax-free. It is recommended that a small amount of interest should be
charge on this amount as well because the bank gas kept-aside the amount for
that borrower and cannot advance it anywhere..
 Needs to be Flexible in credit Policy
As mentioned earlier, NBP is very conservative in advances and loans policy.

It reduces the investment opportunities. Also loans should be given to the
small businessmen and the agriculture sector at the low markup rate. It should
adopt flexible credit policy while giving credit to the agriculture sector.
 Technological Advancement
I would like to suggest that at least all the main branches of NBP should be
fully computerized in order to expedite the dealing process among bankers and
their customers. Every department should be provided a computer with
adequate training (especially Advances, Deposits and Foreign Exchange
departments).Daily records should be entered directly into these computers,
(instead entering the overall daily transactions after the banking hours). It will

not only reduce transaction time, will increase accuracy but will also be
efficient as well. Not only it will be economical but will also reduce the extra
burden of work of the bank. It will also help in reducing the use of excessive
paper work.
 Improper Distribution of Work
Proper distribution work leads to success in every organization. Proper

distribution of work prevents the employee from over and under work
situation. So for a smooth running of an organization proper distribution of
work is the hint to be followed.
During my internship I observed that there was no proper distribution of work

in the bank. I saw that some of the employee worked like ants other sat idle
starting here and there. So this created a lot of over work situation for while
relaxation for other.
 Favoritism and nepotism
In the City branch during my internship I saw that when some of the
employees are transfer to other places, due to their relation with influential
people and with top management they can cancel their transfer in few weeks,
when they are unsatisfied at that place.
So I suggest that in the organization there should be no favoritism, nepotism

and politics and their transfer and promotion should be made on merit and
according to the rules and regulations of the bank and provided favorable
environment to the employee to show their performances.
 Inter Departmental Transfer
I watched during my internship that, there is number of employee who have

worked on one seat for many a year. It can have negative effects motivation of
employee who is hard working and intelligent. Take the example of advances
section. In advance section if the employee is transfer after sixth month or
seven month, how can he be able to show his performances and how can he be
able to know the bank customer in a short period of time.

 Marketing Policy
The branch should adopt various marketing strategy and promotion strategy to
promote the bank and its product. The most important in my opinion is
personal marketing; it is the most effective of all when you think in term of
branch level. But on the whole organization level, they should arrange the
seminar within the bank and outside the bank. They should introduce various
prizing schemes just like Allied Bank. Karamad Scheme, Bank Al-Falah
(monthly income earning scheme) and various others. They should do more
advertising through newspaper and media and through channel of personal
contacts.
 Complaints of Customer
There should be an information desk to provide the information and to receive

the complaints of the customer in the bank. There is no complaint box
available in the branch and not any person appointed to hear the complaints.
Every person cannot go to the manager for the complaint because most of the
people are hesitant. So I suggest management to install a compliant box in the
branch, and recruit a special person for that guidance of the customer when
they are unable to manage some difficulties in banking matters.
 Analysis of the Business:
Proper analysis of the business reports should be conducted before extending

any type of loan. For this purpose professional training of the stuff member is
required.
 Organizational Commitment
It is suggested that employees working on daily wages basis should be given

some benefits, which the other employees are getting. Their salaries must
increase according to efficiency, performance and service.
 Managerial Leadership

In the analysis, we have discussed the difficulties of the assistant in taking any
initiative; therefore it is recommended that the assistants should he given
special training to make them ready for the leadership.
 Credit Monitoring
The credit department of the bank should carries out vigilant credit
monitoring. They should ensure the proper payment of installments and the
mark-up by the borrower. The staff members who have done all the paper
work of the loan extension should perform the monitoring, as he/she will be
having more information about the borrower.
 Extended Banking Hours
The banking hours may be extended up to six, as being practiced by HBL

opposite to it.
Some of the business community due to law and order situation are now
reluctant to keep the fund in their premises and would want to depart with it.
Therefore, City Branch may extend the night banking to cater to demand of
this business community. The branch could also be opened to cater the
requirements of this business community
 Limited staff:
Staff of NBP in village branches is limited, they face much difficulty to

perform their task efficiently. So I recommended that staff should increase in
those branches for better development of resources. On other hand I observed
that many branches of NBP are overcrowded. Less people can work which
extra people perform. Number of employees should decrease or new branches
should opens for the adjustment of these extra employees. So there should be
effective distribution of human resource achieve goals effectively and
efficiently.
 Housing and House Hold Goods loans

Bank should initiate these loans because most of bank’s customers are middle
class and they cannot afford to buy house or household goods at once by their
own.
6.3 Summary:
We discussed in this chapter about the recommendation and suggestion for

NBP as an organization in general and NBP, Karianwala Branch, Gujrat in
particular. Banks are playing very important role in the economic growth of
the countries. N.B.P no doubts a positive contributor in this respect but I think
if NBP impose some policies related to above recommendations and there are
certain points by which adopting NBP can serve more effectively and
efficiently.
