CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION TO BANKING
What is “Bank”
There are many definitions of the word “Bank” even the standard encyclopedia and law books find it
difficult to state exactly what a Bank is.
There have been many attempts by different writers to explain the exact significance of the term “Bank”.
Here some of the definitions are quoted as follows.
According to the Banking Companies Ordinance 1962”
Section 5 (b) defines:
“Banker means a person transacting the business of accepting, for the purpose of lending or
investment, of deposits from the public, and withdrawal by cheques, drafts, order of otherwise,
and include any post office saving banks”
According to Crowther:
”Bank is a dealer of debt, his own and of other people.”
According to Gilbert:
“A bank is a dealer in capital or dealer in money. He is an intermediary party between the
borrowers and lenders.”

According to Samuelson:
“Commercial banks provide certain services for customers and in return receive payments from
them.”
According to Holder:
“The modern banker is primarily a dealer in credit.”
Thus the comprehensive definition of the bank is:
“A bank is a financial institution, which deals with money and credit. It accepts deposits from individuals,
firms and companies at a lower rate of interest and gives at a higher rate of interest to those who need
them. The difference between the terms at which it borrows and those at which it lends forms the source
of it profit. A bank, thus, is a profit earning institution”
Banker
Banker includes a body of persons whether incorporated or not who carry on business of
banking.
Customer
Customer is defined as one who has account with the bank. The word customer signifies a
relationship in which duration is not of the essence. A person whose money has been accepted by
the Bank on the footing that they undertake to honour cheques up to the amount standing to this
credit is a customer of the Bank in the sense of the statute, irrespective of whether his connection
is of short or long standing. All the city branches accounts are computerized.

Importance of Banking
Banks play very important role in the economic life of a nation. The growth of the economy is dependent
upon the soundness of its banking system. Although banks do not create new wealth but borrow,
exchange and consume. These make generation of wealth. In this way they become most effective
partners in the development of that country.
To encourage the habit of saving and to mobilize these savings is its basic
purpose. Banks deposit surplus from the public and then advances these
surpluses in the form of loans to the industrialists, agriculturists, businessmen
and unemployed people under different schemes so that they set up their own
business. Thus banks help in capital formation.
If there are no banks, then there would be concentration of wealth in few hands and great portion of
wealth of a country would be idle. In the fewer developing countries rate of saving is very low and due to
this, rate of investment and rate of growth is also very low. We can take bank just like a heart in the
economic structure and capital provided by it is like blood in it. As long as the blood is in circulation, the
organs will remain sound and healthy. If the blood is not provided is not provided to any organ then the
organ would become useless. So if the finance is not provided to agriculture sector or to industrial sector,
it will be destroyed.
Loan facility provided by bank works as an incentive to the producer to increase production. Banks
provide transfer of payment facility, which is cheaper, quicker and safe. Many difficulties in the
international payment have been overcome and volume of transactions has been increased. These
facilities are very much helpful for the development of trade and commerce.

COMMERCIAL BANKING IN PAKISTAN
It was very difficult for Pakistan to build up its own Banking system immediately after independence
without sufficient resources. Following the announcement of the partition plan in June 1947
there was a haste movement on the parts of banks to transfer their funds and accounts across the
borders. The banks having their registered offices in Pakistan were transferred to India. In an
effort to bring about the collapse of the new state by the persecuting an international policy of
withdrawal, the Indian bank offices closed quickly. Those banks, which stayed, were considering
the winding up of their business. By 30th June 1948 the number of schedule banks in Pakistan
declined from mere scratch.
Today there are more than thousands branches of commercial banks along with an established
network of supplementary financial institutions. All this development in the banking sector is the
result of untiring efforts of past five decades

PHASES OF BANKING IN PAKISTAN
Broadly speaking we can divide the development of commercial banking into four phases:
PHASE-1 1947-1974 Establishment of commercial banking system
PHASE-2 1974-1979 Nationalization of banks
PHASE-3 1979-1991 Islamization process
PHASE-4 1991-2000 Privatization process
FIRST PHASE (1947-74)
SET UP OF COMMERCIAL BANKING SYSTEM
This was the first phase of development of Pakistan’s commercial banking system, which consist
of the circumstances under which the development of banking was started in the country.
INITIAL POSITION OF BANKING IN PAKISTAN
There were 19 non-Indian foreign banks in Pakistan at the time of independence with the status
of small branch network, whose policies and operations were controlled by their head offices
abroad. These banks were engaged solely in export of corps from Pakistan. There were only two
Pakistani banks, the Habib bank, which had transferred its head office from Bombay to Karachi
after the announcement of the partition plan, and Australian bank which has been working in
Pakistani territories prior to June 1947. The government of Pakistan tried hard to eliminate the
banking crises. Banking Companies Ordinance 1947 was promulgated to safe guard the interest
of both the bankers and the company’s customers. The situation however showed no significant
improvements. The imperial bank of India closed down most of its offices in Pakistan, which

had been working as the agent of the reserve bank of India was not willing to purchase even
token amounts of the government of Pakistan.
Securities on the plea that these securities were not marketable. The reserve bank of India was
hardly of any help. It refused to help government of Pakistan with advance argument adhoc
securities to enable them to make essential disbursements such as salaries and other obligations
to add to the difficulties.
The Indian government withheld Pakistan’s share of Rs. 75 crore in cash balances held by her at
the time of independence. The foregoing developments clearly brought home the urgency of
assuming control and currency in Pakistan and brought to the fore the need to setup a central
banking institution to take the place of reserve bank of India.
In order to make necessary arrangements of the establishment of the central bank of Pakistan a
committee was appointed to recommend the necessary steps. Consequently the Governor
General of Pakistan and father of the nation Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah Inaugurated
the State Bank of Pakistan on 1st July 1948. After the State Bank order was promulgated on 12th
May 1948.
When it assumed full control of banking and currency in Pakistan the first important task before
the SBP was to issue of currency notes and withdrawal of reserve bank of India, which had been
in circulating in Pakistan so far.
SECOND PHASE (1974-1979)
NATIONALIZATION OF BANKS
The banking reforms turned out to be a transitional and temporary step and hardly after 18 months
had the government nationalized the banking system. Thus through the Nationalization Bank Act
1974, SBP and all commercial banks incorporated in Pakistan and carrying on business in or

outside the country were brought under the government ownership with effect from January
1974. The ownership and management of all Pakistan banks stood transferred and rested in the
federal government. The shareholders were provided compensation in the form of federal
government bonds redeemable at par any time within a period of fifteen years. The amount of
compensation was equal to the breakup value of the shares in case of commercial banks. For the
State Bank shares the amount of compensation was estimated on the basis of average of the
clearing quotations during the six working days preceding nationalization.
The chairman, director and chief executives of various banks were removing from their offices
other than those appointed by the federal government and the state bank. The central board of
banks, managing committees and similar other bodies were dissolved. A Pakistani banking
counsel was established for nationalized commercial banks to co-ordinate their activities.
As a result of merger of banks the following five major banking companies were formed:
1. National Bank of Pakistan
2. Habib Bank Limited
3. United Bank Limited
4. Muslim commercial Bank Limited
5. Allied Bank of Pakistan
CAUSES OF NATIONALIZATION
The nationalization of banks may be justified on the following grounds:
1. Large business and industrial houses dominate the lending policies of the commercial
banks; this brought forward the problem of concentration of wealth.

2. Commercial banking operations were guided by profit motives and as a result the
backward regions and the small entrepreneurs were never been their favorite customers.
3. The operation of banks, unlike after business, have direct implication on the entire
national economy. For instance if the banks raise the cost of their credit, the cost of
everything may go up.
4. Unhealthy complications among banks can lead to financial and economic problems.
5. The flow of bank advances towards national priority sector in general is not forthcoming
because private banks are profit oriented.
RESULTS OF NATIONALIZATION
Although there are doubts about the positive results of the nationalization but we can say that the
nationalization of banks provided efficient professional management to expand banking services
in every nook and corner of the country. Banks laid full emphasis on their lending policies on
priority sector and national building projects, which discouraged non-productive and unhealthy
activities like speculation and hoarding, there was also a recorded increase in the number of
foreign branches of Pakistani banks.
The growth of Pakistani banking system was significant. The banking facilities expanded in the
rural areas. The bank credit increased sharply especially in the public sector. A part from this
expansion the banking system’s activity seeking to gain credit targets laid down by national
Credit Consultative Council (N.C.C.C) and to confirm to the priorities over the year to enlarge
the flow of credit for the small banker and agriculturist as well as for exports. Bank deposits rose
very substantially during a period when total monetary assets also registered a sharp rise.

THIRD PHASE (1979-91)
INTRODUCTION OF ISLAMIC BANKING
In 1977 the Bhutto government was toppled. The martial law government planned to reform the
banking sector in a novel way. The overall policy was to Islamize the economy and the banking
system, being based on interest was an important target of the new policy. The most preferred
form of Islamic bank financing profit and loss sharing would require banks to receive deposit
without guaranteeing any return.
The Islamic bank has to acquire a high degree of confidence of the saver to make him deposit his
money with them. Not even the return of the principle amount if guaranteed. The Islamic bank
cannot finance the project of an investor merely on the furnishing of collateral. The bank will
have to be a partner in the project. This will require to careful security of the project and the
assessment of risk involved because profits are the function of the amount of risk in the project.
Honesty and trust form both sides of the market are more important to the system of Islamic
Banking.
After the nationalization of the banks the banks now had not very satisfactory conditions. As the
works and tasks of government the banking sector too had also come under great trouble. Due to
lack of proper management and accountability system the banking sector again was losing the
confidence of the general public.
The people were again feeling the need of the proper system under which the banks as well as
their interests in the banks will be properly secure. The contribution of the banks in the economy
and GDP was also not very much effective which not a good sign for the country is.
Also the issue of Islamic banking was gaining popularity. People did not know much about it but

it was near to their belief and that’s why they were supporting that idea. There was a strong need
of such step by the government which will be beneficial to both people and the bank. Banks were
needed to be setup again properly and strong feedback from general public was also very much
demanding.
FOURTH PHASE (1991-2000)
PRIVATIZATION AND DE-REGULATION
The government headed by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was not fully satisfied with the performance
of nationalized. The areas, which were severely criticized, were the falling standard of banking
services and common red-tapism. There were complaints about the services as delay in home
remittances, dispatch of cheques, drafts, inefficient counter services, bad debts of the banks etc.
were on the rise. The government decided to privatize these banks. In order to implement
privatization policy a privatization commission was established on 22nd January 1991. The
commission has transferred two banks MCB and ABL to the private sector.
Application for privatization of other banks namely UBL and HBL were also invited but the
bidding response was quite poor. The privatization of these banks is under consideration.
Legislation was enacted to permit the establishment of new banks and the government approved
10 application from the private sector for the grant of commercial bank licenses by SBP, out of
these 9 new banks have since been incorporated. Till March 1994 there were 20 domestic
scheduled banks with 9825 branches and 21 foreign banks with 66 branches in operation in the
country. Now there are more than 20 banks working in Pakistan. New Banks, which have
emerged successfully in the fourth phase, are given below:

 Soneri Bank Ltd
 Standard Chartered Bank Ltd.
 ABN Amro Bank Ltd Ltd.
 Askari Commercial Bank Ltd.
 Meezan Bank Ltd.
 Bank AL Habib Ltd
 NIB Bank Ltd.
 Atlas Bank Ltd
 SaudiPak Bank Ltd

CHAPTER 2
INTRODUCTION OF NATIONAL BANK OF PAKISTAN
History of National Bank of Pakistan
National Bank of Pakistan (the Bank) was established on November 9, 1949 under the National
Bank of Pakistan Ordinance, 1949 in order to cope with the crisis conditions which were
developed after trade deadlock with India and devaluation of Indian Rupee in 1949. Initially the
Bank was established with the objective to extend credit to the agriculture sector. The normal
procedure of establishing a banking company under the Companies Law was set aside and the
Bank was established through the promulgation of an Ordinance due to the crisis situation that
had developed with regard to financing of jute trade. The Bank commenced its operations from
November 20, 1949 at six important jute centers in the then East Pakistan and directed its
resources in financing of jute crop. The Bank’s Karachi and Lahore offices were subsequently
opened in December 1949.
The nature of responsibilities of the Bank is different and unique from other banks/financial
institutions. The Bank acts as the agent to the State Bank of Pakistan for handling
Provincial/Federal Government Receipts and Payments on their behalf. The Bank has also
played an important role in financing the country’s growing trade, which has expanded through
the years as diversification took place. Today the Bank finances import/export business to the
tune of Rs. 52.7 billion, whereas in 1960 financing under this head was only Rs. 1.54 billion.

Objects and Activities
The Bank is providing all banking services of mercantile and commercial banking permissible in
the country, which include:
 Handling of treasury transactions for the Government of Pakistan as agent to the
State Bank of Pakistan.
 Providing services under a Trust Deed as Trustee to the National Investment Trust
(NIT) including safe custody of securities on behalf of NIT.
 Accepting of deposits of money on current, fixed, saving, term deposit and profit
and loss sharing accounts.
 Borrowing money and arranging finance from other banks.
 Advancing and lending money to its clients.
 Buying, selling, dealing, including entering into forward contracts of foreign
exchange.
 Financing of seasonal crops like cotton, wheat, rice, sugar cane, tobacco, etc.
 Receiving of bonds, scrips, valuables, etc. for safe custody.
 Carrying on agency business of any description other than managing agent, on
behalf of clients including Government and local authorities.
 Generating, undertaking, promoting, etc. of issue of shares and, bonds, etc.

 Undertaking and executing trusts.
 Joint venturing with foreign dealers, agents and companies for its representation
abroad.
 Participating in "World Bank" and "Asian Development Bank's" lines of credit.

 Providing personalized Hajj services to intending Hajjis.
PRESENT STATUS OF THE BANK
The new management team having extensive experience of management of large financial
institutions both within and outside the country is expected to further enhance the profitability
and operational efficiency of the Bank.
Merger / Amalgamation of National Development Finance Corporation with
National Bank of Pakistan
The Federal Government sanctioned the Scheme of Amalgamation of National Development
Finance Corporation (NDFC) with National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) under Section 47(8) of the
Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962, effective from 1 November 2001. In terms of the Scheme
of Amalgamation, the specific assets and liabilities of NDFC as of 31 October 2001 have been
transferred to NBP and any difference between the assets and liabilities transferred shall be
compensated and reimbursed by the Federal Government to NBP, on behalf of NDFC.
Prospects
The Bank's principal strategic going forward objective is to make the transition from a public
service institution to a modern commercial bank. Being the country's largest financial institution,
the Bank is uniquely positioned to leverage its large branch network and its 8.5 million customer
base to consolidate its core businesses as well as develop new revenue generating opportunities.
The new management team is in place combining the Bank's existing personnel with
professionals recruited from outside. Operating procedures are being re-defined and internal
controls strengthened utilizing a revamped IT architecture.

New Products and take Initiatives
NBP now has 1232 domestic branches and 28 foreign branches. The 2006 results are a further
confirmation that the hard work of the past three years has crystallized into a solid turnaround.
In 2006, NBP launched several new products and initiatives that have been made possible by
investments in technology, the branch network, human resource and financial discipline. The
benefits of the increased infrastructure expenditure are now becoming apparent in all areas of the
bank and much more will become visible over the next year.
In Consumer Banking we introduced the President Scheme of Rozgar in which different products
had been offered to the customers. NBP also had substantial increase in its agriculture and SME
(Small Entrepreneurial Businesses) lending.
NBP also launched Online Banking in 2004, offering a full service, round-the-clock access to
banking. This service covers more than 150 branches in 20 cities. Profit is credited to our
customers on 31st December. Usually this is done by the 20th of January after the year-end. We
are proud of the way technology is benefiting our customers and look forward to introducing
further benefits.
Operating Environment
The record profitability was achieved in a rapidly changing environment. The external sector has
improved considerably with the increase in reserves. The overall Country Rating has improved
with AA+ (long term) and A-1 (short term) in a prominent manner. NBP is the first Pakistani

bank to raise Tier II capital from external resources. The impact of these positive developments
on the overall economy is now becoming evident.
The year 2007 started sluggishly but there has been an upturn since July 2007. Economic growth
is expected to rise. Exports rebounded in the second half with a 16% growth and inward
remittances have averaged US$ 300 million per month. Credit off-take picked up near the end of
the year and at near to Rs. 56 billion in Dec 06 is considerably higher than the Rs 28 billion in
previous years. The increase in foreign exchange reserves has led to strong growth in banking
sector deposits.
A large deposit base and a reduction in non earning assets were significant contributors to
growth in revenues in 2007. However, with the growth in deposits far outpacing the growth in

loans, margins are under severe pressure. For the overall banking sector, average lending rates
have declined by 2.75% with steeper falls in the second half. Higher proportion of deposits is
now in low yielding government securities. A further reduction in lending rates is likely and
banks are endeavoring to absorb it by expanding their loan portfolio.
Operations Group
The Bank needs to improve the service orientation at its branches, as these constitute the "front
line" of the Bank in terms of contact with its customers. A new monitoring system is being
created to efficiently collect and utilize the feedback from the branches to support product
development and enhance the quality of service. The advent of Internet and other technological
improvements have re-defined how branches should operate. Bank cannot afford to be left
behind and is in the process of introducing E-Commerce initiatives based on customer friendly
technologies. Bank will also create products to utilize the benefits of E-Commerce for its
customers.
Human Resource Function
Little tangible progress can be achieved if the above-discussed initiatives are not accompanied by
a marked improvement in Bank's training and performance appraisal policies and procedures.
Here a comprehensive training program is being developed to upgrade and develop core banking
skills of the Bank's existing staff. Furthermore, to boost the staff motivation level and to ensure
that those displaying a marked improvement in performance are adequately rewarded for their
efforts, a merit based culture is being promoted through revamping manpower recruitment,
retention and performance appraisal systems.

Corporate & Investment Banking
A new approach to corporate banking is underway. The Bank has initiated a structured approach to
corporate banking by introducing a single point of contact through Relationship Managers (RMs). For this
purpose, new RMs as well as team leaders has been inducted to expedite this process. Area Managers will
be appointed to manage relationships and to better service the needs of multinationals and large local
corporate. An investment banking team has also been formed to offer specialized services to major
relationships including advisory and debt syndications (TFCs). Furthermore, to stem the growth in non-
performing loans, the existing risk / credit management practices at the Bank are being revamped.
Business Lines
With focus towards building new assets, Consumer, SME and Agriculture financing will be the
key areas. They are all part of our Retail Banking Group. We have taken a number of initiatives
in 2007 and will aggressively launch new products. Work is being done on Housing Finance and
Credit and Debit Cards and we plan to launch them in the first half of 2008. Corporate and
Investment Banking Group continues to face tough price competition, as the market growth has
been limited. We have taken a number of initiatives to increase our product range and with the
Additional expertise of the Investment Banking Unit, established during the year, we will be able
to maintain our leadership.

Treasury will play an important role in current low interest rate environment. Lower yields on
National Saving Schemes will encourage Capital Market products and we are reinforcing our
Treasury Marketing Unit which will work closely with Corporate and Investment Banking Group
to develop products for our corporate customers.
Economic Outlook
Economic growth is expected to pick up, with low interest rates leading to higher investment.
The geopolitical situation, particularly Iraq situation is a major risk and can disrupt the economic
environment leading to volatility in interest rates.
The efforts of the Government over past three years in changing the economic landscape of
Pakistan are clearly bearing fruit now. State Bank of Pakistan has performed its role of regulator
with excellent skill and at the same time has been effective as an enabler of the development of
banking industry in Pakistan.
The investment by the Bank in human resource, technology and physical assets will continue for
the next few years. This will keep us at the forefront of delivery channels and assist in providing
excellent customer service.
The pressure on banking sector margins will no doubt make it difficult but NBP’s Management
is confident that through pro-active management and dedication of their employees, NBP will
remain ahead of the competition.

Why Bank is important?
Banks play very important role in the economic life of the nation. The growth of the economy is
closely related to the soundness of its banking system. Although banks create no new wealth but
they borrow, exchange and consume wealth. In this way, they become very effective partners in
the process of economic development. Modern banks are very useful for the utilization of the
resources of the country.
The basic role of the banks is to encourage the habit of savings among the people and to mobilize
these savings for the investment purpose. Banks deposit surplus form the public and then
advance these surpluses in the form of loans to the industrialists, agriculturists, businessmen and
unemployed people under different schemes so that they set up their own business. Thus banks
help in capital formation.
If there are no banks, then there would be concentration of wealth in few hands and the great
portion of capital of the country would remain idle. In the fewer developing countries rate of
saving is very low and due to this, rate of investment and rate of economic growth remains very
much low. We can take bank just like a heart in the economic structure and the capital provided
by it is like blood in it. As long as the blood is in circulation, the organs will remain sound and
healthy. If the blood were not provided to any organ then that organ would become useless. So if
the finance is not provided to agriculture sector or to industrial sector, it will be destroyed.
Loan facility provided by the bank works as an incentive to the producer to increase production.
Banks provide transfer of payment facility, which is cheaper, quicker, and safe. Many difficulties
in the international payment have been overcome and volume of transactions has been increased.
These facilities are very much helpful for the development of trade and commerce.

International and Overseas Banking Group Operation
NBP’s international network is amongst the most extensive of emerging market banks with a
presence in 28 main foreign branches. The network spans the principal financial centers of USA
and Europe, and the developed and emerging markets in Asia, the Middle East and Africa. The
Bank’s 50 year history in the international market provides it a well established network of both
commercial customers and correspondent banking relationships.
IOBG’s principal line of business is trade finance. NBP’s strong presence in all areas of the
domestic market combined with the extensive international network has provided the Bank a
unique ability to capture a large volume of trade flows relating to Pakistan. In our international
units we are also active in financing local third country trade in niche segments, particularly by
leveraging our network. IOBG units have a well established customer franchise in the South
Asian origin communities. Activity with other customer segments has also been growing
particularly in emerging markets and now forms an important part of our business.
An additional strength of IOBG is that all international units are entirely self funded through
stable well diversified local customer deposits or capital which enables us to develop local
commercial and, in specific markets, consumer businesses while minimizing the inherent cross
border exposures.
Identifying opportunities, while keeping a balance in acknowledging and acceptance of diverse
foreign cultures is a task that will continue to guide and control IOBG in the future.

Retail Banking Group Operation
The Retail Banking network, with 1458 branches, is the core strength of National Bank. Its
extensive reach in all geographic locations – urban and rural – throughout the country, provides
access to over 5 Million customers across all sectors of the economy. The network provides
NBP with the largest diversified low cost deposit base of any bank in Pakistan, and forms the
basis for many of our other business lines, corporate and investment banking and treasury
activities.
RGB has three principal areas of activity:
1. The retail network for deposit mobilization.
2. Commercial banking group to serve small and medium enterprises (SME).
3. Consumer banking group.
Deposits mobilization, the traditional strength, continued to perform strongly in 2007 with
deposits growing by 12%.
There is a growing propensity for consumer spending to uplift living standards. Recognizing
that consumer demand can be a major driver of investment and economic growth, the
Government has also moved towards an enabling regulatory framework and has also taken
initiatives to create an appropriate legal regulatory framework to enable the development of a
housing finance market.

Agriculture is the most important contributor to Pakistan’s economy. NBP, which has been a
leader in agriculture financing, plans to increase further its credit to this sector with a particular
focus on providing a wider range of products to small and medium size farmers. Their
specialized agricultural finance department helps farmers in modernizing their farming
techniques. The Government has also provided a regulatory framework to encourage corporate
farming and as this develops; their participation in this sector will grow even further.
While they continue to develop our products, we recognize that quality of customer service will
become an even greater differentiating factor in the market. They have taken a number of
initiatives in this area; investing in technology, training and upgrading of our branches.
Extended banking hours and better facilities for utility bill payments have been made available.

CHAPTER 5
PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE
WORK DONE AT THE BRANCH
As everybody knows that "Knowledge without practice is sterile "In order to give vent to this idea an
Internship program of six weeks has been arranged in different esteemed organizations during
MBA. In this regard on 31st October, 2007, I was asked by my Dean to go to National Bank to
have an internship of six weeks there. So as per standing order of my Branch Manager I was
assigned to work under the supervision of AVP/Operations Manager of Civil Lines Branch, on
1st of November. On my first day of Internship, Manager handed me over the charge of
Operation Manager.
As five departments namely Accounts, Cash and Billing, Foreign Exchange and Credit were
being managed by the Manager in this particular branch. I started my practical training by
working with the Operation Manager in the Account Opening Department. I was guided fully by
my senior as per the requirements of the opening of the account. I worked in this department for
three weeks and got all information that I could. The Manager and the Accountants duly signed

Then I was handed over to the head of Miscellaneous Department who guided me wonderfully throughout
the tenure. This was the main department of the branch where all work was to be done. First of
all I was trained to fill up the deposit slips of the customers. I was also guided to fill up the
deposit slips of the cheque which customers had brought to the bank.

Cheque
Secondly I was advised by my Manager to be remained vigilant about the fake cheque giving
some instructions for the scrupulous examination of cheque like signature verification from
specimen card. Fortunately the branch where I got my Internship was computerized; all the
things were to be done electronically. So it was very easy for me to cheque and matches the
signatures of any person who was account holder of the bank. Signature verification was done by
me by checking the signatures of the customers from the specimen signature cards.
Filling up of deposit slips
I also used to fill the deposit slips for the customers, and also guide them how to fill the deposit
slips.

amount is being deposited in the bank which have to be on lined plus the service.
Posting of cheque in the computer
The cheques which were presented at bank and come for clearing are also entered in the
computer, data entry for dishonored cheques was also done by me.
Balance query to customers
I also used to tell the people there balance of the account, which was checked by entering the
account no in the MISIS software of NBP.
Posting of letters
I was also given the assignment of the posting of letters to the various Locker Holders of the
bank. This included some new instructions relating to the use of lockers. I had to search for the
address for the various locker holders and to write their address on the posting letter. This
assignment was successfully completed by me.
CREDIT DEPARTMENT
Then for two week I worked in the credit department where I clearly came to know how the credit
limits are prepared and what are the various documents involved in the loaning procedure.
In the credit department I performed the task of providing loan under the president’s rozgar
scheme.

CHAPTER 6
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE BANK

Ratio
* Earning Assets= Advances +Lending to Financial Institutions+ Balances with other banks +
Investments
** Net Margin= Net Mark up income – Net Mark up expenses
*** Loans= Advances +Lending to Financial Institutions+ Balances with other banks

EARNING ASSETS TO TOTAL ASSETS
This ratio explains the amount of earning assets of the bank in the total assets. The results of the
years concerned have shown that this ratio has not changed significantly.

RETURN ON EARNING ASSETS
This ratio explains the amount of profit on the earning assets out of the total profit of the bank.
The results of the corresponding years have shown that the return on earning assets has
increased.

LOAN-LOSS COVERAGE RATIO
This is very important ratio and it tells the level of protection available to the depositors about their
deposits.

DEPOSIT TIME CAPITAL
The credit rating of bank depends upon total deposits. This ratio has dual effects. The higher
answer is favorable for the banks and lower answer is favorable for shareholders. If deposits are
high then there will be more chances for investments.
This ratio is not in the favor of the bank for the current year.

LOANS TO DEPOSIT
It is a kind of asset to liability ratio. Higher ratio shows the growth of a bank in terms of number
of customers available. The bank having more schemes/opportunities for lending often have high
loan to deposit ratio.
This ratio is in the favor the bank as the assets of the bank (loans) are increasing.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
The earnings per share are very important ratio in terms of return to investors. It shows the
amount available to be distributed to the shareholders.
The EPS of the bans has also shown significant increase in the corresponding years.

P/E RATIO
It shows the market potential of the bank. P/E ratio shows the growth potential of any company in
the market. Higher answer is favorable for the bank and it shows the high potential.

DIVIDEND PAYOUT RATIO
This ratio shows the amount of dividend to be paid to the shareholders by the bank out of total
earnings.

 The past two years data shows an improvement in the return on earning assets, which is a
positive sign. The Bank should have to continue its policies. By observing the audited
account we find that this improvement is due to increase in the Net profit which is good
sign.
 Loan-loss coverage Ratio is continuously increasing in the previous years. The figures
reveal that this trend was due to increase in the pre tax earning of the bank and also due
to increase in the net margin of the bank.
 Net profit Ratio is giving upward trend. This trend is observed due to increase in Net
profit but on the other hand the expenses decreases which shows an efficient
management.
 Loans to deposit ratio shows an increasing trend in the previous years. This trend is
observed as the advances of the bank increased and due to this reason the loan to deposit
ratio is showing an upward trend.
 The group’s pre-tax profit has increased by almost 38% over the last year. The EPS has
an increased by almost 34.43%.
 The overall performance of National Bank of Pakistan was very much satisfactory in the
year 2006 but as we all know that there is always a space for improvement.

CHAPTER 7
SWOT / PEST ANALYSIS
Following are some main problems which I faced in working in the bank (branch):
 The whole data of the bank is not computerized, and the computerizing
process is very slow, it takes a long time to find some data from the
manual work done.
 The old employees of the branch are not well trained about the
computerized program which is used in the bank, and the staff is also not
well trained about the modern banking.
 The staff of the bank didn’t work by heart because they didn’t get any
reward and incentive on good performance.
 The resources of the bank are mismanaged which discourage hard
workers.
 There is no proper delegation of authorities to the staff.
 The no of staff member is very low; more people are required due to more
work load.

RECOMMENDATIONS
As we seen from the previous analysis of the financial statements we have realized that that National
Bank is performing very well since its inception. It is quite difficult to give suggestion to
improve the banking conditions. As we know that nothing is perfect, there is always a room for
improvement, so I have found during my internship can be made up taking into account the
following suggestions.
 NBP is in the process of providing the services of Automated Teller Machine. In
order to complete with the other banks ATM services must be provided throughout
the country as this service is becoming very popular in bank customers.
 The bank is also in process of computerizing its records, which is good sign, but it is
going on with small progress Computerization must be done on early basis. This will
help in increasing efficiency of work don, customer’s satisfaction decreases the
stationary cost and resultantly it will increase profits.
 In Past, National Bank of Pakistan has always being suffered from bad Government
policies. Government intervention should avoid completely.
 Employees Training program must be introduced on continuous basis so that
Employees have understanding with the latest developments especially with the
customers.
 Bank should introduced incentive plans for employees on regular basis so that if
employees may work whole-heartedly for the welfare of their organization. While

giving incentives qualification, work, experience, hard work and such other factors
must be considered.
 Mismanagement of resources must be avoided as much as possible as it decreases
profit but also discourage hard worker and honest employees.
 Fresh graduates must be recruited. As the combination of Experienced and fresh can
produce better results and it will improve the efficiency of management.
 Banks different schemes must be conveyed to the targeted customers so that to have a
reasonable share in market.
 Bank should help the society by providing interest free loans to the Talented Students.
 The Bank is also facing a severe problem of Centralization in which the people are
not comfortable with their work. There must be proper delegation of authorities in
order to give the best results.

Here some of the definitions are quoted as follows.

According to the Banking Companies Ordinance 1962”

Section 5 (b) defines:

”Bank is a dealer of debt, his own and of other people.”

“A bank is a dealer in capital or dealer in money. He is an intermediary party between the

“The modern banker is primarily a dealer in credit.”
