conducted, it cannot be perfect in all respects. This study was conducted in accordance with the objectives of the study. The study may not include broad explanations of acts and figures due to the nature of the study. Secondly, the limitation, which affects the study, is the restriction on mentioning every fact of the bank due to the problem of secrecy of the bank. In addition, the availability of required data was a problem as all the documents and files
are kept strictly under lock and key due to their strictly confidential nature. The third problem of short time period also makes the analysis restricted as one cannot properly understand and thus analyze all the operations of a bank just a very short time of eight weeks.

Evolution of Banking
It has not so far been decided as to how the word Bank originated. Some
authors opine that their word is derived from the words Banque which mean a bench. The explanation of their origin is attributed to the fact that the Jews in Lombardy transacted the business of money exchange on benches in the market place, and when the business failed, the people destroyed the Banco. Incidentally the word Bankrupt is said to have been evolved from this practice. Others authorities hold the opinion that the word Bank is derived from the German word Back which mean joint stock fund. Later on, when the Germans occupied major part of Italy, the word back was Italianized in to Back.
2.3
Early Growth
Banking in fact is as primitive as human society, for ever since man came to
realize the importance of money as a medium of exchange, the necessity of, a controlling or regulating agency or institution was naturally felt perhaps it was the Babylonians who developed banking System as it early as 2000 Bait is evident that the temples of Babylon were used as banks because of the prevalent respect and confidence in the clergy. King
Hammurabi (1728 1686 B.C.), the founder of the Babylonian empire, drew up a code wherein he laid down standard rules of procedure for banking operations by temples and great landowners. He got his, code inscribed on a block of diorite about 8 feet tall, containing about 150 paragraphs which deal with nearly all aspects of loans, interest, pledges, guarantees, natural accidents, loss, theft etc. Later on, the Sumerians Babylonians, Hittites and Assyrians standardized the values of the goods in silver, copper, bronze or electrum. In 1401 a German Public Bank was formed comprising the operations of discounting, deposit and transferring of money. By the 16th century, some more public banks were formed in Venice, Milan, Amsterdam, Hamburg, and Nuremberg. In the old times Gold Smith in England started banking system. People use to deposit their valuables and commodity money with Gold Smiths. So Gold Smiths can be said the people who firstly started formal banking people use to deposits their valuables with the gold smiths for the purpose of safekeeping. Then when after some time these valuables were drawn from Gold smiths, Gold Smith used to charge some service charges. So in their system the deposits were backed up with hundred present reserves with Gold Smith. By and by Gold Smith started thinking that al the deposits are not with drawn at the same day. In a particular day some people withdraw their deposits and some also comes to make new deposits. So over all effect is offset. So Gold Smith realized that a handsome amount always remained with them. Then they decided to keep fractional reserves for daily transactions. There was of course a revolutionary idea realized by Gold smith that gave birth to modern banking system by keeping fractional reserves with them Gold Smith started lending money to the needy people and thus increasing their profits. From these profits, Gold Smith started giving other services to the common public. In 1672, however, English banking faced great crises when Charles-11 borrowed huge sums of money from the Gold Smiths and later refused to pay them back. Therefore, a number of Gold Smith bankers formed themselves into a 6
corporation in 1695, known as the Bank of England. Their bank lent pound sterling 12, 00,000 at 8 % interest to William-111, who in return, allowed a number of privileges to the bank, specially the right to issue Notes payable to bearer on demand up to the amount of their loan. That was known as fiduciary issue, not covered by the gold.

Banking in Pakistan
At the time of independence the areas which now constitute Pakistan were
producing food grains and agriculture raw material for sub-continent so there were no industrial zones in these areas however, there were 487 offices of banks in these areas which were providing banking facilities. When Pakistan came into existence it was decided that reserve bank of India will continue solving problems of time and demand liabilities, coinage, currencies, exchange etc.
There were only two Pakistani institutions Habib bank and Australasia bank in Pakistani. In July 1st, 1948 Govt. of Pakistan decided to establish a full-fledge central bank. Governor General of Pakistan Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah inaugurated state bank of Pakistan. The first important task, which the state bank of Pakistan had to do, was the issue of currency noted and withdrawal reserve bank of India notes with over Printing their of Govt. of Pakistan, which had been in circulation in Pakistan. The central bank of Pakistan was assigned an urgent task creating a National banking system. In order to attain their task it provided every help of Habib bank to expand its network of branches and also recommended to Govt. the establishment of a new bank, which could server as an agent of the state bank. As a result, the National bank of Pakistan came into being in 1949. The outbreak of Korean War in 1950 provided a great boom for Pakistans export, and thus the demand for bank advances increased shapely. However, when the 7
Korean War ended in 1952, there was a shortfall in the countrys export earnings with no appreciable change in imports earnings with any appreciable change in inputs. Their naturally caused a drain or the foreign exchange reserves, and in turn, affected the balance of payments position the government had, therefore, to reduce inputs and provide adequate incentives to the business and industry in the form of protective tariffs. Their induced banks to provide working capital for industries. The state bank of Pakistan sponsored the setting up of and industrial finance corporation. Agriculture development bank was setup to attend agriculture finance. All these measures and the devaluation of Pakistani rupee on August 1st, 1955 had a very favorable effect on market and balance of payments position in 1955-56. Thus Pakistan now entered in to a phase of planned economic development in 1956, and naturally further expansion in banking and credit facilities was mad. However, despite the intensive needs, private enterprise was not coming in Pakistan consequently the state establish a regional bank by the name of EASTERN MERCANTILE BANK in east Pakistan. In 1960 RURAL CREDIT FUND was setup with one Crore to provide medium and long-term credit in the rural areas.

Commercial Banks
The first commercial bank in the world is Bank of Venus. It was set up in
1171 in Italy. These banks are set up on commercial bases therefore; their primary 8
objective is to earn profit and maximize it is far as possible. For this they received cash deposits from the people in different accounts. They give loans to different business enterprises and thereby create credit money. The state bank of Pakistan is the central bank of Pakistan, commercial banks, financial institutions and cooperative banks are the other components of the banking system.
Industrial Banks
The banks meets financial needs of industrial sector loans are granted to set up
new companies to purchase of new machinery and construction of buildings requires long term loans at responsible rate of interest. Industrial development bank of Pakistan is working as industrial bank. 2.5.5
Mortgage Banks
The banks provide loans against land and building for short and long term.
The bank can lend money to buy or construction of new house. Moreover purchase and development of land require funds. In Pakistan their is need of mortgage banks. At present House Building Finance Corporation is doing work of Mortgage banks in housing sector.
2.5.6

The exchange has their head offices in foreign countries. They deal in foreign
exchange due to foreign trade. The importer makes payments in foreign currency. The exporter receives foreign currency. American express bank limited bank of Tokyo limited Rupali bank limited, Bank of Oman and Doha Bank Ltd. are some example of exchange bank in Pakistan.
Saving Banks
The banks receive idle money from people having low income. The people
save money for future needs. The saving offers responsible rate of profit on saving account. The student Govt. employees and house hold women can open such account. Post offices and national saving centers are example of such banks in Pakistan.

controlled our economy. After partition over 7 million people came to West Pakistan & about 5 million went out. East Pakistan was spared from massive migration but its economy was also, being dependent on Calcutta, badly hurt. Most bankers & business experts left Pakistan and the economic life was brought to a standstill: mostly branches of Imperial bank of India were only in partial operation with little staff. The number of bank offices fell from 631 to 195 after partition. After this commercial phase, in 1950 started the industrial phase Jute and cotton industries were started during 1950-55.

It was decided that Reserve of India would act as the common monetary authority of both countries up to September 1948. But this arrangement did not prove well. In August 1947, we were given a first installment of Rs. 200 million (20 crore) as our share, leaving a balance of Rs. 550 million (55 crore) but it was not paid when ask for. In October 1947 there was fighting in Kashmir, when India refused to give us the amount of Rs.55 crore if we did not give up all interest in Kashmir, which we refused. In response, Reserve Bank of India refused to make even an advance for ways and means. Despite that India had to pay our 50 crore, (the remaining 5 crore still remains unpaid). There was a controversy on establishment of our central band because we had no experience or expertise but it was resolved and SBP was created, 3 months ahead of schedule, on July 1, 1948, which was the last public appearance of the Quaid-e-Azam. SBP claimed its share of Assets of Reserve Bank of India against the Indian currency retired from Pakistan, but this 50crore India disputed and virtually refused to settle this dispute until now. In 1949 (September) U.K. devalued its currency, India followed suit but we did not, India said we had contravened the agreement of keeping both currencies at par. We said we had not done that, India had done it arbitrarily without consulting us. On October 1949, the two central banks were to announce the new par value of both currencies but India denied a day earlier. India also froze our trade balance surplus, which is still an unsettled dispute. India also withdraws the Marwari merchants who were employed annually for movement of jute crop by financing it. There was being no jute industry, prices fell sharply, foreign banks and foreign merchants stood aside and an agrarian unrest was threatening. Two ordinances were, therefore, issued. These are as under; Jute Board Establishment Ordinance & NBP Ordinance dated 08-11-1949.
NBP was established on 20-11-1949 to provide finance to suitable parties. NBP stood behind jute trade, SBP stood behind NBP and the Govt. stood behind SBP. Speedy it was such that 6 branches came into being at once and the doubts on our ability to handle this situation were dispelled forever. Now, as the jute Board and 11
NBP were in the field, the foreign merchants and bankers also rushed in to get their share in the business and consequently NBP had to lay out much less finance than it could. Mr. Ghulam Farooq was chairman jute Board & Mr. Mumtaz Hassan was chairman NBP. Until June, 1950, NBP remained exclusively in jute operations, there after other commodities were also taken-up. After that Mr. Zahid Hussain, Governor SBP assumed additional charge also as a chairman NBPs Board of Directors, & Mr. M.A. Mohair became its first M.D. In 1950, NBP established a branch in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. In 1952, NBP replaced Imperial Bank of India. Mr. Mumtaz Hassan negotiated this arrangement as acting Governor of SBP. By 1955, NBP had branches in London and Calcutta. A branch in of NBP Baghdad, Iraq was established in 1957. 1962 NBP established a branch in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanganyika. In 1962 when Mr. Mumtaz Hassan became M.D, the number of branches increased from 6 to 239 & deposits from Rs. 5 crore to 106 crore, profit from Rs. 3 lack to 21 million & the staff increased from 380 to 7091.In Des.1966 its 600th branch was opened raising the deposits to 2.31bn, and staff to 14,963. In 1964, peoples credit scheme was started to finance small business. While in 1964, Iraqi government nationalized Baghdad Branch of NBP.
In 1965, The Indian government seized the Calcutta branch on the outbreak of hostilities between India and Pakistan. In 1967 The Tanzanian government nationalized the Dar-Es-Salaam branch. In 1971, NBP acquired Bank of China's two branches, one in Karachi and one at Chittagong. At separation of East Pakistan NBP lost its branches there.
NBP merged with Eastern Mercantile Bank and with Eastern Bank Corporation. During 1974, the government of Pakistan nationalized NBP. As part of the concomitant consolidation of the banking sector, NBP acquired Bank of Bahawalpur (est. 1947). In 1977, NBP opened an offshore brain Cairo.
During 1994, NBP amalgamated Mehran Bank (est. 1991). In 1997, NBP's branch in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan commenced operations. In 2000, NBP opened a representative office in Almaty, Kazakhstan. In 2001, State Bank of Pakistan and
12
Bank of England agree to allow only 2 Pakistani banks to operate in the UK. NBP and United Bank agreed to merge their operations to form Pakistan International Bank, of which NBP would own 45% and United Bank 55%. Also that year, NBP closed its branch in New York. During 2002, Pakistan International Bank renamed itself United National Bank Limited (UNB). The ownership structure of the UNB remained as before. The only change to the shareholding structure is that UBL had recently been privatized in Pakistan and was now owned 49% by the Government of Pakistan and 51% by a joint foreign consortium of Abu Dhabi. In 2003, NBP also received permission to open a branch in Afghanistan. In 2005, NBP closed its offshore branch in Cairo.

Letter of Credit
A letter of credit is a means of making payments for the imports of goods. It is
issued by the Bayers Bank in favor of the seller. The terms and conditions of sales are also stated on it.
The following steps are involved for opening a letter of credit.
The importer contracts the exporter for purchase of goods. he settle with the seller about the prices quantity and quality of goods and mode of making the payments. Then the importer informs his banker to open a letter of credit. The banker will ask the applicant to provide import licensee and Performa invoice. After checking these documents, the banker will ask the importer to file an application on the printed form. A printed application form usually called Letter of Credit is filled up by the banker and signed by the importer. All terms and conditions of sale contract are recorded on it. The issuing bank informs the advising bank that credit has been issued. Three copies are prepared, the issuing bank keeps one copy and other two copies are sent to the advising bank. The advising bank will give one copy to the exporter. The State Bank of Pakistan decides the percentage of amount to be paid to the issuing by the importer. This amount is called Margin. This amount is deducted from the total payment made by the importer. The advising bank informs the seller that credit has been issued. The seller sends the goods to the Bayer and provides the shipping documents to the advising banker. The bank checks the documents and then sends to the issuing. The issuing bank on the receipt of shipping documents, effect payments to the seller. The shipping documents are released to the Bayer upon payments of the amount due. The Bayer sends the transport documents to the carrier who will then proceed to deliver the goods. 25
It can be amended or cancelled at any time without prior notice to the seller, up to the moment of payment. In this case the seller is at risk. It can be amended or cancelled only with the agreement of the parties. In this case the seller is not at risk. National Bank of Pakistan provides the facility of letter of credit to its customers.

The margin is to be debited from import account. The amount which is mentioned in L/C not found in applicants account, bank will not open L/C.

The ratio express that there is enough cash great in 2007 to fulfill the current liability, but this case is low in 2008 and in 2009 it is rather high. This means there is increase in the asset in the year 2009 as compare to the liability.

Assets
Cash is increased in 2009 and decreased in 2007 but it remain constant increase in 2008 .It shows that the liquidity position\of the bank is going to Strong, so it is alarming sign for the bank. Therefore, bank should take the necessary steps according to the position. There is decreasing trend in balance with other banks which is not a good sign. Increase in money at call and short notice, it means that customers of the banks are very punctual in making payments. Therefore it is a good sign for bank. In the field of investment there is increasing in 2009 but decreasing trend in 2008. It is common term of finance "more investment more return".
63
As we know that main source of profit of the bank is the difference between the percentages of interest, Bank pay less rate of interest than receiving the interest from the customers. In this case advances to increase in coming year with time to time. It means NBP running very well.
NBP is in a position that it is earning more and more profit with the passage of time. Then bank can purchase more and more fixed assets, and it is bank is doing. Assets of the banks are increasing day by day by purchasing the assets. More assets mean bank has more capacity to pay of its liabilities. There is median trend in field of fixed assets. Bank purchase asset in 2007 but in 2008 it asset decrease but in 2009 they are increase. It is due to purchase of new assets.
Other assets have increasing trend which is not appositive sign. Decrease on assets decrease the worth of the organization.
Liabilities
There is an increasing trend in deposits and other accounts which
shows the credibility of the bank. Borrowing is increasing in 2009 that is the positive sign. Although it is
seeing that bank's borrowing is fluctuate with the passage of time which is not positive sign. Usually banks borrow money when they would have to give it for earning more profit, in same way NBP increasing its profit. Bills payable increase in which is a positive sign. Other liabilities have an increasing trend not good because increase in
Owner Equity
Share capital increases that show the creditability of the bank. 64
increase its lending power, which is good sign, because according to the prudential regulations of State Bank of Pakistan, a bank ca lend money equal to the 30% of its assigned capital plus reserves.

To see the analysis I come to know that in 2007 advances are more
than other asset which is good for bank, also investment are also high which show the earning in future. More the investment more the earning. In 2008 investment are going higher and NBP applied his 50%
resources in investment. In 2009 70% of bank resources are applied in investment and
advances.

In 2007,2008 and 2009 the deposit and other account are very high

To see the analysis we observe that the bank have earn more in 2007 which is decrease in 2008 and in 2009 it income also decrease as compare to 2007. Also earning per share increase which is pay a greater roll in 2008 and 2009.
5.1.1 STRENGTHS
70
the reason that the Pakistani nation has complete trust over the bank that its deposits are fully secured. The most important point of National bank is that it is agent of State
bank of Pakistan, where the State bank branches are not working National bank control its function. Government has providing facilities through National Bank of Pakistan
to get the knowledge of computer, for this purpose IT Centers have been set up at different places where short courses of computer are taught. Only the NBP is authorized to advance loan against Gold. This
function makes the NBP able to earn profit on the Gold. This function becomes the major source of income of NBP. There are more than six million clients of National bank. Their
customers are served all over the Pakistan and abroad. Its branch network is one of the largest in Pakistan (29 Regional Offices and 1189 branches) and (15 Overseas Branches). The number of employees of the bank is12195. National bank of Pakistan is enjoying the deposit of different
government organization like P.I.A., Pakistan Railway, WAPDA and Sui gas. When Govt. starts some scheme of loan to assist the public normally
NBP is authorized to implement it. For this it is provided with the funds from the Govt. But the advances this loan to public he earns profit on its which increase his over all income. National Bank of Pakistan is providing different types of loans on
Mark-up and no Mark-up bases to its employees. I.e. Car Loan, Motorcycle Loan, Computer Loan, House Building Loan etc.
71
WEAKNESSES
The staff is working partially on the bases
manual record system and computer record system. It should be computerized, after all we have to adopt electronic media for IT revolution in future. The political involvement in bank affairs
not performing its duties as well, recruiting, training and development. No bonuses and other cash prizes are given
to employees for motivational purposes against extra time on job. And rate of the loans converted in to bad debts is high. Whole the management and staff of the
bank have not the relevant knowledge of banking business, education and professional skills. Banking is experienced just book keeping only. Personal use of the bank assets by the
branch managers. Generally, the attitudes of the employees are not serious with each other and have professional jealousy, which is not healthy for the bank.
5.1.3 OPPORTUNITIES
A gradual reduction in the corporate tax rate for commercial banks will have a positive impact on their earnings. Golden hand shake may decrease the establishment expenses of the NBP. Pakistans business educational institutes and universities are producing MBAs, BBAs, and commerce professionals, bank can recruit skilled and advanced knowledge persons for strong management.
72
Foreign currency account holders can adjust their loans with their foreign currency. Government of Pakistan is responsible for all deposits which are made by the National bank of Pakistan.
Most of government accounts are with NBP. Which may create the trust and goodwill among the customers.
5.1.4 THREATS
Being a government bank president of The Bank is appointed by
government, so political influence is there. Other commercial banks i.e. MCB, Askari commercial Bank, UBL, Bank AlFalah etc are providing loans and advances at lesser rate of interest. Because NBP is a financial institution so if there is any mistake it may
create a lot of problems for the bankers so it is a stress for the employees to non correctness of the accounts. There may have some frauds, robbery or other mishaps with the banks so all the time employees have to remain careful. The number of banks in Pakistan is increasing day by day and they are
providing good customer services as compared with the NBP, so it may lose its market share in the future. The competent employees of NBP may move to other banks, as the

During the short span of two months internship in NBP Sarai Salah branch Haripur and roughly spent one week on each counter, this short span is not sufficient for having all the information about the organization. But although though some observations it is pointed out that there are some shortcomings in the bank, which are absorbed and experienced, and also narrated by the concerned personnel of the bank. So the findings are divided into four major parts which are as under. 1. Problem at the branch 2. Function analysis 3. administrative analysis 4. Personal managements analysis
6.2.1
74
6.2.2
Functional Analysis
In this branch they do not care about maintaining secrecy during the rush of routine business. They speak loudly about the account position of while getting clearance of cheque the person can easily get the whole information from the ledger. The deposit clerk must be care full while passing any cheque, he should be careful about his record. In this record another short fall is in giving the information about the balance on telephone they least bother to ask any other for verification.
6.2.3
Administrative Analysis
76
Remittances are a basic function and main source of income for the bank, unfortunately, there is an increasing shift to the use of informal means. Most of the customer of the bank NBP, main branch Islamabad is people living abroad. They send their money through hundi. If these remittances sent through banks, it will be very beneficial for the bank and national economy. The band officials do not motivate the customer to send their remittances through banks. People that there r more changes in commission charge by the bank. The charges should be reduced.
77
6.2.4
78
6.2.4.3Recruitment Policy
Human resources are the lifeblood of the organization. If the personal are recruited carefully they can because an asset to the organization and in the case of carelessness the personnel can become a liability. The bank is not following ots recruitment policy properly. Due to favoritism nepotism and political influence unsuitable candidates are selected. Both the staff unions and the top authority tries their best to recruits their favorites. This creates a lot of problem. The person selected through these channel are influential and do not work for the betterment of the bank.
6.2.4.4 Promotion
Promotion in the national bank of Pakistan is purely on the seniority so the new young person having high qualification is into having any chance of promotion of their favorites which gave a sense of deprivation to the deserving employee and their efficiency is affected. As the concept of promotion is attached better jobs better in terms of greater responsibility, more prestige, greater skills and increased rate of salary, thus a better and impartial policy of promotion needs to be followed.
6.3
Recommendation
National bank of Pakistan is an effectively operating and profit making
organization and carrying out its activities under a specified system of procedures. The man regulatory body is state bank of Pakistan, which provide the policy guide lines and ensure that the money market operate on sound professional bases. While the head offices specifies the whole procedure of functions and operations. This procedure has been modernized with the passage of time with a view to stream line the approach and the underline procedures of time with a view to streamline the approach and the underlying procedure for effective overhauling of its own capabilities so as to bring them at par with international practices. Here some suggestions are recommended, which can add some input for efficiency and better performance of NBP as an organization in general and main branch Islamabad in particular. 79
This is a computer era. With the use of computer we can increase our
efficiency. National Bank of Pakistan should computerize all its branches. By the use of computer properly these branches can increase there working efficiency. Central Asian Republics (CARs) have great opportunities of new
business so N.B.P should open new branches in these Republic. Model Banks like City Bank, M.C.B. is using media very effectively to
increase the business of banks. So National Bank of Pakistan should use electronic media for its business developments. The interference of union in banking business should be minimized as
it decreases the working efficiency of the employee as well as the bank. There is needed to make the outlook situations of branches in those
manners that can complete the other modern banks in the banking market. CREDIT CARDS are issued by the different banks like MCB, ABP
and Citi Bank etc. but NBP dont issued this type of finance scheme, there is a place for this type of scheme in this bank. Separate desk or counter should be established in every branch to
provide the information as required by the clients. The environment of the offices should be comfortable so that the client
and staff must feel comfort during business in bank. Unsecured loan are not to be provided in case of banks directions, their

There are some clients having sound and successful plan but without
financially sound and providing securities bank should firms such policies that may solve this problem. There is too much dependence on handwork and they are not getting at with computer programmed. All the branches of NBP should be computerized.
the bank branch. All the employees should well train. Most of the bank employees are sticking to one seat only, with the
result that they become master of one particular job and loose their grip on other banking operation. In my opinion each employee should have regular job change. Every year some of the employees should be sent for training to other
countries and employees from other countries should be brought here. In commercial institutions like banks, reward and punishment system
should be introduced. Means achieve, smart, educated, skilled, self-spoken and well-dressed staff should be rewarded and appreciated and lazy, lethargic staff should be warned and punished. Promotion should be given to competent persons on merit basis. The National Bank of Pakistan 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 should be created to efficiently collect and utilize the feedback from the branches to support product development and enhance the quality of service. Bank management has to put its all effort to change the prevailing
culture of the bank and to put the foundation stone of business oriented culture. In which employees give important to the bank and its customer. 81
effort to give facilities of retail and consumer banking. Plus the technology in the banking which will be necessary for future banking is another week area need to be stressed. The outlook and interior lay out of the branches is another thing which
needs to be improved. The procedure of taking services from the bank must be made easier
and straight forward not involving long difficult procedure for simple task.

Suggestion
To remain in the market bank need to be vigilant in the eyes of customer. One
way is through promotion efforts, so that people aware about he services of the banking and any addition which the bank as made in the portfolio of its services. It is requirement of time that N.B.P. should go for computerization
rather than manual work, which is very slow and time, consuming process. In this time N.B.P. even does not have a partially computerized system where as other new competitor banks are now going towards on-line banking services. At the time of giving loans, it is necessary to see the repute of
customer towards loan repayment. National Bank of Pakistan should not advance the money to those people as well as organizations who are addict of rescheduling of loans due to their political influences. Instead providing loans to these persons, loan must be advanced to the well reputed business people and industries having good record of loan repayment. Govt. should take keen interest to recover its bad debts, which can
82
they must be trained by qualified person. Because in many branches of National Bank of Pakistan manually system is prevail. With the trained employees they will improve their efficiency of work. Present training program for its officers is need to be improved, as this program instead of improving the efficiency of officers is merely a burden for the bank in the form of heavy T.A. , D.A. cost. Incentives and beneficial schemes to the customers as other competitor
banks are doing so. It is need of time for proper recruitment and selection program. New
young talent should be introduced to inject the new ideas. Political influences in the bank should be eliminated. Deterioration in efficiency is mostly due to promotion without merit.
So promotions must be awarded on merit and also when due. In most branches of NBP many employees who re working on ad-hoc
basis creating dissatisfaction. The deserved should be made permanent employees. Special attention should be given to the behavior of the employees
towards the customers, as customer is the most important person for the bank. NBP should focus its attention towards the share of traveler cheque. To motivate the employees of the bank, regular bonuses and incentives
should be given to them. There must be a friendly environment among all the employees as is
the necessary expenditure of personnel relation. Branch manager should be trained in the field of selling to serve better
according to the expectation of customers. The recruitment policy should be fair and transparent. Due to these payments environment of bank influenced. Bank should hire expert staff for such type of activities and start them
here. The branch should improve his environment to attract more customers. Facility sends them other branch. In other words the employees should
