    What is BANK?

    It has not so far been decided as to how the word Bank originated. Some authors

    opine that this word is derived from the words Bancus or Banque which mean a

    bench. Other authorities hold the opinion that the word Bank is derived from the

    German word Back, which means joint stock fund. It is therefore, not possible to

    decide as to which of the opinion is correct, for no record is available to ascertain the

    validity of any of the opinions

    The term bank is being used for a long time yet it has no precise definition. The basic

    reason is that the banks perform not just one but many types of functions originally

    the banks were supposed to make short term loans to the traders only. The banks now

    not only make short term loans to the formers, traders , industrialist etc. But also

    invest in a wide variety of long term earning assets.

    The commercial banks also undertake and execute trust, deal in stock, shares and

    debentures, issue guaranties and indemnities underwrite and sell new securities, and

    deal in foreign exchange etc.

    Banking industry acts as life-blood of modern trade and commerce acting as a bridge

    to provide a major source of financial intermediation.

    However some of the definitions of bank from different authors are as follows.

    Depository financial institution: a financial institution that accepts deposits and

    channels the money into lending activities; "he cashed a check at the bank"; "that

    bank holds the mortgage on my home"

    According to Dr. Hart

    customers subject to the obligation of honouring cheques

    drawn upon them from time to time by

    customers to the extends of

    History Of National Bank Of Pakistan

  • 7/28/2019 Final Intership Report NBP

    6/40

    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 wasestablished 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.

    The Bank in 1950 had one subsidiary The Bank of Bahawalpur on December4, 1947

    by the former Bahawalpur State.

    NBP was undertaking Treasury Operations and Managing Currency Chests or Sub

    Chests at 57 of its offices where the turnover of the business under the head amounted

    to Rs.2460 million.

    o Deposits held by NBP constituted about 3.1% of total deposits of all

    o Pakistani Banks in 1949, which rose to 38% in 1952.

    o Growth in Deposits was accompanied by increase in Bank portfolio in

    advances. NBP lent out to Textile, Yarn, Iron and Steel and played a pioneer role in

    support of agriculture and commerce.

    o NBP advances reached Rs.554.4 million by December 1959, which was one

    third of the total schedule bank credit .

    Presidents Message

    It gives me great pleasure to present on behalf of the Board of Directors 60th annualreport of the bank for the year ended December 31, 2009. In November 2009, the

  • 7/28/2019 Final Intership Report NBP

    8/40

    Bank completed its 60th year of service to the country. On this auspicious occasion I

    give my heartiest facilitations to all the stake holders in NBP.

    In the year 2009, the economy showed signs of stabilization. Inflation remains the top

    concern which eased to 10.7% by August, its lowest in 20 months, as a result ofmonetary tightening. The current account deficit improved and foreign exchange

    reserves stabilized - mainly on account of lower oil prices and record remittances

    from workers abroad. Growth slid to 2% in 2008-09, scarcely outpacing population

    growth.

    Problems in the energy sector, with demand outstripping generating capacity,

    depressed growth potential are key burdens on public finances. Year 2009 witnessed

    unprecedented challenges; terrorism remained the biggest challenge for Pakistan and

    still is. The negative effects of international economic meltdown which started in

    2008 were evident in 2009, with the sharp rise in non performing loans and rising cost

    of operations; these factors hampered the business confidence and performance of the

    banking sector.

    In this backdrop it is commendable to note that NBPs after tax profit increased by

    18% from Rs. 15.5 billion to Rs.18.2 billion. The said increase is owing to higher fee

    & commission income, tax credit and capital gains. Earnings per share increased by

    18% to Rs.16.92 in 2009. The top line (operating revenue) increased by 7.5% from

    Rs. 53.4 billion in 2008 to Rs. 57.5 billion in 2009. Pre-tax profit however, has

    reduced to Rs. 22.3 billion, a decrease of 3% over last year mainly on account of

    higher administrative cost and provision charge which increased due to both fresh

    accretions and further downgrading of non performing portfolio. The bank hasprudently provided for the non performing loans which is evident from the provision

    coverage ratio of 76 %, higher than the industry average.

    19/40

    working capital requirements. As business concerns have money to complete the one

    Secondly, nature of business should be considered because if business concern to

    which we are giving loan related with that industry which is not growing and

    declining and we sanction loan to that concern would lead to definite bad debts. So if

    we examine the nature of business properly and make sure about its growing trend,

    then loans can be sanctioned to that concern.

    iii) Bank References:

    By correspondence BAL makes confirm to send letters to various banks in order toknow about client's record/dealing with them. If they give proper information about

    client then decision made for loan becomes more strong and healthy.

    iv) Plant Visit:

    This is another source of evaluating client. In this technique credit department team

    visit the plant of concern to assure that plant is actually in a position to get market

    value as which mentioned in Balance Sheet. To get real picture of that business is

    obtained through personal visit.

    v) Credit Rating:

    From various credit rating agencies reports are obtained which show the past recordof that firm regarding the paying capacity and dealing to discharge liabilities. If credit

    rating is good enough then that symptom will also lead to sanction loan.

    vi) Report From SBP:

    From State Bank of Pakistan, report is required regarding that client. SBP has record

    of every client past and present scenario. So it is essential to examine that report.

    However, some other techniques are also used to evaluate the performance of

    business like, credit vetting and information from peer concerns. After this

    appropriate examination, credit department makes credit appraisal report and sends to

    head office corporate division (Credit Division) for sanctioning that amount to

    concern.

    Various types of credit products, nature of advances

    there are various means to provide credit. Credit can be in the form of lending money

    for credit cards, guarantees, letter of credit, Trust Receipt and against bill of

    exchange. Every type of credit product has some features regarding interest/marketing

    rates, maturity period and some other things.

    In BAL, all such sort of products are offered which are mostly provided by other

    commercial banks of Pakistan, but as for as BAL's credit policy is concerned it is very

    conservative. It hardly sanctions loan against mortgage or property but prefer to give

    cash collateral. So BAL secures its money against getting more than 100% security

    from clients.

    BAL usually, gives loans against refinance scheme and letter of credit transactions.

    There were various cases which were rejected or not sanctioned for loan due to some

    minor risky things involved. Mostly credit proposal form was rejected by head office.

    Processing of a credit line proposal form

    When client fills the credit line proposal form for getting loan. Then credit officer

    conducts financial statements analysis and with his own views statement refer to headoffice for sanctioning credit limit. Businessmen make arrangement with banks for

    credit line, which is used for future needs. They pay some commission on that fixed

    credit line. In this way, they secure their money for future working capital

    requirements.

    Forms of lendingIn credit department of BAL, various forms of credit are offered to different clients.

    Following are the main forms of lending:i) Cash Credit

    ii) Running Finance

    iii) Term Finance

    iv) Purchase and Discounting of Bills etc.

    i) Cash Credit (PLEDGE):

    In this form of lending, cash is required to keep as a security. This form is less

    risky than others. Because bank is fully equipped with cash. Mostly this is used for

    very special purpose like; payment to exporter for the goods delivered. Below are

    mentioned core features of the cash finance.

    a) Most secure type of finance

    b) Stocks are in possession of bank.

    c) Whatever amount he may want to release stocks then pay equipment amount.

    ii) Running Finance:

    Running finance is most popular sort of credit facility given to clients. This is

    mostly obtained for the purpose of working capital requirements. Client can draw

    money even daily from the account but not more than the limit (BAL normal limit

    was upto 1,000,000/- (one million) that can be drawn by him). In running finance, it is

    not necessary that security would be in the possession of bank, but all importantdocuments of stocks, property etc, are in its possession.

    However, the case may be, one limit is for one year, not more than this can be

    sanctioned. But on the other way around, if client doesn't repay amount in one year

    after making all possible correspondence and personal contacts then Bank will sue

    him after 210 days in the court. The amount received by him would be with the

    markup. It should be noted that if limit is more than 1 million then proposal would be

    sanctioned by credit committee of Head Office.

    iii. Term Finance:

    This credit facility is also required for working capital requirements. This is

    the same like running finance but difference is that in this term finance, disbursement

    of amount is in once a time.

    Beside, time limit for term finance is 1 year to 10 years, payment is made in

    the form of installment which can be on monthly, quarterly, half yearly, yearly basis.

  • 7/28/2019 Final Intership Report NBP

    23/40

    Markup is received on quarterly basis. It is important to note that markup should be

    received on that specific time, if principal account is not paid by him on that date.

    iv. Purchase and Discounting of Bills

    This is also a unique type of financing. Bank purchases the bills from its ownclient at lower value but when bills are discharged, then amount received will be more

    than that purchased value. This is mostly happened in case of export and import

    transaction. In addition, markup on these bills is received at the time of purchase or

    negotiation.

    MORE DEPOSITS THAN OTHER BANK:

    NBP has the relative competence in having more deposits than the other bank.

    The employers at NBP are offered reasonable monetary benefit. Normally two

    bonuses are given Eid-Ul-Fitar & Eid-Ul-Azha. This serves as an additional benefit

    and competency for the bank and a source of motivation for the employees.

    highly skilled Professionals with back ground in business administration, banking,economics etc. These professional competencies enable the employees to understand

    and perform the function and operation in better way.

    HEALTHY ENVIROMNMENT:

    way. Hence lacks far behind in marketing effort .A need for aggressive marketing in

    there in the era marketing in now becoming a part of every organization.

    NBP UNDER POLITICAL PRESSURE

    The strong political hold of some parties and government and their dominance

    is affecting the bank in a negative way. They sometime have to provide loan under the

    pressure, which leads to uneven and adjusted feeling in the bank employees.

  • 7/28/2019 Final Intership Report NBP

    33/40

    FAVORITISM AND NEPOTISM

    The promotions and bonuses etc in the bank are often powered by seniors

    favoritism or depends upon their wills and decision. This adds to the negative factors,

    which denominate the employees thus resulting in affecting their performance

    negatively.

    LACK OF FINACIAL PRODUCT

    The bank falls far behind when the innovative and new schemes are

    considered. It has not been involved in the tug of war between the competitors to the

    accounts and strengthens the existing customer base. This stands out to be the major

    incompetence and weakness of the banks.

    INEFFICIENT COUNTER SERVICES IN THE RUSH HOURS

    During the rush hours, the bank is founded out to be a total flop to handle the

    mob of people peaking from windows and doors. The bank has deficiency to operatein the stages of rush hours where the people find them services entangled in a

    situation of nowhere because they are not well served.

    LACK OF COMPUTERIZED NETWORK

    The bank lack the strength of being powered by the network of computers,

    which have saved time, energy and would have lessened the mental stress, the

    employees have currently. This would add to the strength if it were powered by

    network of computers.

    LACK OF MODERN EQUIPMENT

    The bank lacks the modern Equipment that is note counting machinecomputers. Even if there is any equipment they lack to fall in the criteria of being

    rearmed as update and upgraded

    UNEVEN WORK DISTIBUTION

    The workload in NBP is not evenly distributed and the workload tends to be

    more on some employees while others abscond away from their responsibilities,

    which server as a demotivation factor for employees performing above average work.

    OPPORTUNITIESELECTRONIC BANKING

    The world today has become a global village because of advancement in the

    technologies, especially in communication sector. More emphasis is now given to

    avail the modern technologies to better the performances. NBP can utilize the

    electronic banking opportunity to ensure on line banking 24 hours a day. This would

    give a competitive edge over others.

    MICRO FINANCING

    Because of the need for micro financing in the market, there are lot of

    opportunities in this regard. Other banks have already initiated, now the time hasarrived when the NBP must realize it and take on step to cater an ongoing demand.

  • 7/28/2019 Final Intership Report NBP

    34/40

    THREATS

    EMERGENCE OF NEW COMPETITORSThe bank is facing threats with the emergence of new competitors especially

    in terms of foreign banks. These foreign banks are equipped with heavy financial

    power with excellent and innovative ways of promoting and performing their

    services. The bank has to take initiative in this regard or will find itself far back in

    competition.

    POLITICAL PRESSURE BY ELECTED GOVERNMENT

    The ongoing shift in power in political arena in the country effects the

    performance of the bank has to forward loans to politically powerful persons which

    create a sense of insecurity and demoralization in the customer as well as employees.

    DOWNSIZING

    The bank is currently acting upon the policy of downsizing which threaten the

    environment of the bank Employees feel insecurity in doing their jobs and work,

    hence affecting the over all performance of employees negatively.

    CUSTOMERS COMPLAINTS

    There exists no regular and specific system of the removal of customer

    complaints. Now a day a need for total customer satisfaction is emerging and in their

    demanding consequences customer's complaints are ignored

    Learning and experience

    Suggestions (Recmendation)

    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 genera and City

    branch in particular.

    The recommendations are as follows:

    Professional training

    NBP staff lacks professionalism. They lack the necessary training to do the jobefficiently and properly. Although staff colleges in all major cities but they are not

  • 7/28/2019 Final Intership Report NBP

    38/40

    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.

    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 braches 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. 2 to 3 to processes a utility bill, and it is very tire, tough and

    hard job despite this working resulting in a loss to then Rs 3 to5 per transaction. These

    charges should be increased to RS 10 per bill to enable the branch to cover their

    handling costs and make some profit.

    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 mores secure and to eliminate the misuse of it, the management

    is required to keep proper security against the card.

    Installing ATM

    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.

    Interest on Overdraft:

    Overdraft is a short-term credit facility provided by the bank to its trustworthy

    customers free of interest. Only bank commission is charge small amount of mark-up

    on the overdraft, which will help the bank to improve its revenue position.

    Conclusion

    If I have to express my experience of internship in Arif Habib Bank Limited Gulberg

    Branch Lahore I would briefly say:

    Arif Habib Bank is a good Organization in the way that anybody can join it for his/her long-term career. Overall working environment is comfortable. Management of

    branch cares a lot of its employees and considers them as the Asset of bank. Behavior

    of senior executive of bank is very polite and they are caring about the individuals

    career and their growth.

    However management is very demanding about the targets but good reward at the

    achievement of assigned targets is awarded.

    the main branch of National Bank Of Pakistan in the banking sector in Lahore , its

    employees have to bring their bank among the list of good banks. Therefore, they

    work more than their working hours and it is all according to their will. It also shows

    their loyalty, commitment to organization.

    Employees are given the benefits like bonus, gratuity funds, loans, increments, and

    medical.

    All the customers are entertained individually. Same kind of behavior and attention is

    given to all the customers. Getting ideas for improvement from customer side is a new

    idea and that is working very well in National Bank Of Pakistan All the customers are

    asked to fill a suggestion form and the standards of the bank are improved through

    them.

    Prioritizing its product portfolio in line with its corporate and consumer needs and

    wants the bank is committed to develop products that give more value to its customers

    in both the sectors.

    In bank, all the work is done on computers. All the entries are made in computer.

    Balance are fed into the computer. This increases efficiency of the bank.

    During my internship training I gathered information regarding how a successful bank

    operational aspect decorticated with the practical.

    I found my internship training at National Bank Of Pakistan Gulbherg Branch Lahore

    to be a very rewarding experience. The training was beneficial because it helpful me

    to aware a real life working environment.
