1.5 Limitation of The Study
Some thing is better than nothing. No matter how efficiently a study is 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 facts 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.
Thirdly, the 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.

CHAPTER # 2
EVOLUTION OF BANKS IN PAKISTAN
2.1 INTRODUCTION
There are different opinions that how the word Bank originated. Some of the authors
opinion that this word is derived from the word Bancus or Banque, which means a
bench. The explanation of this origin is attributed to the fact that the Jews in Lombard
transacted the business of money exchange on benches in the market place; and when the
business failed, the people destroyed the bench. Incidentally the word Bankrupts said
to have evolved from this practice.
Some of the authors are of opinion that the word Bank is derived from the German
word back, which means joint stock fund. Later on when the German occupied major
part of the Italy the word Back was italicized into Back.
In fact human left the need of bank when it begins to realize the importance of money as
a medium of exchange. Perhaps it where the Babylonian who developed banking system
as early as 2000 B.C. At that time temples were used as banks because of their prevalent
respect. During the rule of king Hamurabi (1788 1686 BC) the founder of BabyloniansEmpire, loans were started being granted for interest. The borrower has to provide
guarantee or he had to pledge his goods or valuables. King Hamurabi drew up a code
wherein he laid down standards rules for procedures for banking operations by temples
and great landowners. Also in Greece, the temples were used as banks, where the people
deposited their money and other valuables for safe custody and security. In Europe with
the revival of civilization (Renaissance) in the middle of twelve century, trade and
commerce started expanding and this development compelled the business community to
borrow the money from the Hebrew moneylenders on high rates of interest and usury.
Seeing the great demand, these moneylenders started organizing themselves and bank
started up at the principle seaports of southern Europe. Soon Venice and Geneva became
the most important money markets of the time and banking though different from its

present form, flourished. What we know as modern banking originated in the 14th
century in Barcelona.
2.2 Definitions of Bank
"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 higher rate of interest to those who need them .
A financial establishment which uses money deposited by customers for investment, pays
it out when required, makes loan at interest, exchanges currency, etc.
J.W Gilbert in his principles and practice banking defines a banker in these words:
A banker is dealer in capital or more properly, a dealer in money. He is intermediate
party between the borrower and the lender. He borrows of one and lends to another.
Sir John Paged defines banker in these terms:
That no person or body, corporate or otherwise, can be a banker who does not
Take deposits accounts.
Take current accounts,
Issue and pay Cheques and
Collect Cheques crossed and uncrossed for his customers The American
defined the term banker in a very broad sense as under:
By banking, we mean the business of dealing in credits and by a Bank we
include every person, firm or company having a place of business where credits are
opened by deposits of collection of money or currency. Subjects to be paid or remitted on
Cheques or order, money is advanced or loaned on stocks, bonds, bullion, bill of
exchange, promissory notes are received for discount or sale.

2.3 Evolution of Banking in Pakistan
The first phase in evolution of banking in Pakistan sees very hard days for the whole
banking sector. Starting virtually from scratch in 1947, the country today possesses a full
range of banking and financial institutions to cope with various needs of the economy.
The area now constituting Pakistan was, relatively speaking, fairly well provided with
banking facilities in undivided India, in March 1947 there were 3496 offices of Indian
scheduled banks out of which as many as 487 were situated in territories now constituting
Pakistan.
The Reserve bank of India was the central banking authority in India. At the time of
partition it was decided that in the interest of smooth transition it should continue tofunction in newly emerging state of Pakistan, until 30th Sep.1948.
In 1947 due to uncertainty and unsuitability the banking sector suffer heavy losses.
This resulted in a negative effect on baking service in Pakistan. The banks, which had
their registered offices in Pakistan, transferred them to India. In an effort to bring about
the collapse of the new state by pushing a deliberate policy of withdrawals the Indian
bank offices closed quickly. Those banks, which stayed, operated only in name pending
the winding up of their business. The number of scheduled banks thus declined form 487
branches before independence to only 195 branches by 30th June1948.
2.4 Banking Growth during (1948-1970)
In this tense situation, a committee was immediately setup to formulate a scheme of
central banking legislation for Pakistan. Many specialists were of the opinion that in view
of the acute shortage of trained staff, any idea of establishing a central bank was I
impractical and the best that could be attempted was the setting up of a currency board
until such times as sufficient staff could be organize to operate a central bank.
The questions as to whether the institution should be only a currency board or a full-
fledged central bank had exercised the mind of the Pakistan government since
independence. Through, it was realized that the shortage of trained personal to run the
Internship Report on NBP, Fatima Jinnah Road Branch Hyderabad

-
8/8/2019 Internship_Report on NBP by Jehanzeb Memon IMSA BBA 18
8/109
central bank would present serious difficulty in view of the tangible advantages that a
central bank enjoyed over currency board, the government ultimately decided to take the
bold step of setting up a full fledged central banking authority. Among other factors,
which led to this decision, there was the fact the banking facilities in the country had
been totally disrupted and there was an urgent need for their rehabilitation, which a
central bank alone could meet. As there was hardly any time to pass as Act, an order was
drafted, known as the state bank of Pakistan order, which was promulgated by the
government of Pakistan on 12th may 1948. The state bank declared open on July 1, 1948
by the father of the nation.
One of the first tasks of the state bank was to arrange for the replacement of the Reserve
bank of India notes, which had continued to circulate in Pakistan during the transitional
period, by Pakistan currency.
The first Pakistan notes were issued in October 1948 in the denominations of Rs. 5, 10 &
100.
An equally urgent task, which the new central bank had to address itself, was the creation
of a national banking system. To this end, while extending every help and encouragement
to Habib Bank to expand its organization, the state bank recommended the setting up of a
new banking institution to serve both as an agent to the state bank recommended the
setting up of a new banking institution to serve both as an agent of the state bank as well
as the spearhead of its credit polices.
Accordingly the NATIONAL BANK OF PAKITSN was setup under an ordinance in
November 1949. It started with six offices in the former East Pakistan. In view of the
special role assigned to the new institution, contrary to traditional practices the Governor
of the state bank was appointed to head its Board of Director in 1950. Under the fostering
care of the state bank and the support of the government, the new institution developed
rapidly. By using its special powers, the state bank made liberal advances to the new
bank to help it expand credit facilities in the country. By 1952, the National bank of India
shortly, afterwards, in November 1952, the governor of the state bank ceased to function
as the president of National bank of Pakistan.

With a view to broadening the institutional framework of the financial system, the state
bank also sponsored the establishment of specialized credit institutions in the filed of
agriculture and industry. Banking companies (control) act was passed in December 1948
specifically empowering the state bank to control the operations of banking companies in
Pakistan.
Moreover realizing that the most serious limitation on the expansion of banking services
in Pakistan was the lack of trained personal, the state bank sponsored a banking training
scheme, which was repeated after year and turned out a large number of bankers.
As the Commercial Banking facilities continued to expand, a new Pakistani bank, the
National Commercial Bank was established and registered as a scheduled bank. In the
filed of industrial finance a new institution known as the industrial credit and investment
cooperation was set up.
The year 1958 marked the completion of the first decade of the working of the State Bank
of Pakistan. When it was established there were only 195 bank offices in existence. At
the end of June 1958 their number had increased to 307, of which Pakistani banks
accounted for 232 against 25 in mid 1948. Moreover at the end of June 1958, Pakistani
banks held 60% of the total banks deposits, and were responsible for 65 of total bank
credit.
When the Ayub Khan Government took over in 1958, the banking and monetary scene
was significantly affected by developments such as the liberalization of imports, transfer
of business in food grains to the private sector, and the firming up of commodity markets.
The demand of funds picked up and there was a substantial expansion of bank credit to
the private sector. The pace of expansion in the institutional frameworks of the countrys
banking system quickened and a new Pakistani, bank, namely the United Bank Limited
was established.
Owning the five years 1960-65, the credit structure in Pakistan made rapid progress. The
bank extended its network by opening six new offices located at Chitagong, Peshawar,
Quetta, Khulna, Layallpur and Rawalpindi. The number of scheduled bank offices rose
Internship Report on NBP, Fatima Jinnah Road Branch Hyderabad
9
-
8/8/2019 Internship_Report on NBP by Jehanzeb Memon IMSA BBA 18
10/109
from 430 at the end of June 1960 to 1591 in June 1965. Several new banks were added to
the list of scheduled banks.
Two principal additions were the commerce bank, and the standard bank. The number of
scheduled banks, which stood at 29 in June 1960 rose to 36 by June 1965.
Under the impact of economic growth and dear scope of private enterprises, bank credit
to the private sector rose from Rs. 1,458 millions to Rs. 5759 million. Thus the total
expansion in bank credit to the private sector during this period amounted to Rs. 4300
million, which gave a annual expansion of Rs. 860 million compared to the annual
average increase of Rs. 144 million over the preceding five years. Banks deposits
increased from Rs. 2,493 million to Rs. 6883 million during the five years period ended
June 1965 compared to Rs. 231 million in the proceeding five years.
Time deposits during this period increased from Rs. 946 million to Rs. 3228 million,
where demand deposits rose from Rs. 1997 million to Rs 3655 million. The increase in
time deposits was particularly rapid. The ratio of time deposits to total deposits in June
1965 stood at 49.6 percentage as against 32.01 percentage five years earlier. Another
salient feature of banking development during this period was that since the rate of
increase in bank deposits lagged behind the rate of expansion in bank credit, the banked
has to depend increasingly on central bank finance. They borrowing from the state bank
rose from Rs. 11 million in June 1960 to Rs. 1688 million in June 1965. Owing keen
demand for bank credit, banks investments could not increase as rapidly as their
advances. Their investments totaled to Rs. 1,874 million at the end of June 1965
compared to Rs. 1,231 million in June 1960. Investments, which were almost equal to
their advances in June 1960, were only about one third of the advances in June 1965.The
third plane period witnessed a further expansion of banking facilities in the country the
total number of scheduled banked offices increased from 1,591 at the end of June 1965 to
3133 at the close of June 1970. During the same bank credit to the private sector rose
from Rs. 5,789 million to Rs. 9492 million. There was also a substantial growth in the
bank deposits, which increased from Rs. 6883 million June 1965 to Rs. 13147 million at
the end of June 1970. A remarkable change occurred during this period related to the

composition of deposits. Time deposit becomes greater than demand deposits forming
about 54 percent age of the total deposits. As oppose to what happened in the previous
period, banks were able to finance a mush higher level of credit expansion without
having to increase their borrowings from the central bank.
2.5 Banking Reforms 1972
After the assumption of office by a new government in 1971, may 1972 different reforms
were introduced to make the banks more responsive to the requirements of economics
growth with social justice. The reforms aimed at bringing about a more purposeful and
equitable distribution of bank credit, improving the soundness and efficiency of the
banks, and securing greater social accountability of the banking system as a whole.
The role of the banking system had been truly spectacular in mobilizing savings of the
community and meeting the credit needs of the economy. But at the same time, the banks
had generally neglected their role in promoting social justice and had failed to play an
effective role in ensuring a wider and more equitable dispersal of the benefits of
economic growth. In particular
the inter locking of ownership with commercial and industrial interests had led to the
misuse of bank resources. There was a heavy concentration of credit in big accounts and
in urban area. Credit facilities for agriculture, small business, newly emerging exports
and housing had remained obviously inadequate while the banks indulged in capital
financing in few selected business sectors and issued guarantees on behalf of favored
clients, term clients, term financing facilities for industry were wholly absent.
Under the banking reforms introduced in May 1972 the state bank of Pakistan was
accorded wider powers. It was authorized to remove directors or managerial personnel, if
necessary and supersede the board of directors of a banking company and appoint
administrators during the period of such super session. It was also empowered to
nominate directors on the board of every bank. As regard bank directors, it was provided
that anyone defaulting in meeting his obligations to bank would forfeit his directorship.
Moreover, it was laid down that no person could serve as director of a bank for more than

six years continuously. Each bank was required to have a paid up capital of not less than
5 percent age of its deposits to be progressively build up to 10 percent age over a period
of time. The banks were also required to transfer 10 percentage of their profit their
reserves every years after the reserve became equal to the paid up capital. With a view to
diversity the ownership of the banks, the banks were required to raise new capital from
the market. Unsecured loans to directors, their families or firms and companies, were
totally prohibited.
The bank reforms also brought about the establishment of new institutions to achieve new
objectives.A national credit consultative was setup under the supervision of the state bank
with representation form the government and the private sector. It was assigned the task
of determining of economys annual credit needs within the safe limits of monetary and
credit expansion with reference to the annual development plan. Such a credit plan was to
cover the public and private sectors. Alongside the National credit council and
Agricultural Advisory Committee was formed to allocate agriculture credit for various
purposes, to coordinate the operation or the agriculture credit agencies and to oversee the
flow of credit to the designated targets. A standing committee on exports in general and
the new emerging exports in particular, was also established. With a view to encourage
the banks to extend credit to small borrowers, a credit guarantee scheme was introduced
under which the state bank under took to share any bonfire losses incurred by the
commercial banks in case of small loans of advances to agriculture.
At the same time two financing institutions were established. The peoples Finance
Corporation was designed to provide finance to people of small means while the National
Development Finance Corporation was set up of finance public sector owned and
managed industries and enterprises.
2.6 Nationalization of Banks (1974) In Pakistan
The banking reforms turned to be transitional and interim step and when they were hardly
eighteen months old the government nationalized the banking systems, with the following
main objectives.

control of all Pakistani banks stood transferred to and vested in the Federal government.
The shareholders were provided compensation in the form of federal government bonds
redeemable at par anytime within the period of fifteen years. Under the Nationalization
act, the Chairman, Directors and Executives of various banks, other than those appointed
by federal government were removed from their offices and the central boards of the
banks and all local bodies were dissolved. Pakistan banking council was established to
coordinate the activities of the Nationalized Commercial banks. At the time of

A scheme to extend interest free productive loans to farmers and fisherman has also been
introduced. Instead of interest, a system based on mark-up in price, exchange rate
differential, and profit and loss sharing accounts were introduced.
Different financial schemes introduced in the Islamization process are:
Musharika Financing.
Hire Purchase Financing.
Modaraba Financing.
Specific Purpose Modaraba.
2.6.2 Dis-investments and Deregulation of Banking 1991
When it was realized that the role of public sector in the economy is over extended and
the banking sector has more earning potential in the private sector the process of
privatization banking sector restarted in 1991 by the Muslim League Government.
Muslim Commercial Bank was Dis-invested in to two phases while ABL was sold to its
employees. Since then allot of investment is being made in the banking sector and several
new banks were established and still the process is going on. Now only NBP is
government bank other than SBP. The performance of this bank will be analyzed and
judged in the following chapters.
2.63 Interest Free Banking
A new concept of interest free banking was introduced in 1981 and by now it has been
established on sound footing and new trends and techniques are being implemented to
make this system result oriented. New products and their systematic consumption aremaking Pakistani banking comparable to their several modern counterparts anywhere in
the developed world.

community.

higher volume of deposits. There are two main factors involved in increasing the
deposits. These factors are improving the services and courtesy. NBP is continuously
working on these two factors to increase its deposits.

The profitability of a bank largely depends on the amount given to people as loan and the
type of people to whom credit is given i.e. the credit worthiness of the borrowers. This
strategy has worked quite well for NBP. Deposits are collected from the people and
invested in different projects. NBP prefers to give loans to financially sound and reliable
parties, after securing the collators. NBP has an extremely well organized section. The
staff is adequately trained, and educated and competent. They carry out extensive

35
-
8/8/2019 Internship_Report on NBP by Jehanzeb Memon IMSA BBA 18
36/109
Cash department performs the following functions
3.17.1.2) Receipt
The money, which either comes or goes out from the bank, its record should be kept.
Cash department performs this function. The deposits of all customers of the bank are
controlled by means of ledger accounts. Every customer has its own ledger account and
has separate ledger cards.
3.17.1.3) Payments
It is a bankers primary contract to repay money received for this customers account
usually by honoring his cheques.
3.17.1.4) Cheques and their Payment
The Negotiable Instruments. Act, 1881 3
Cheque is a bill of exchange drawn on a specified banker and not expressed to be
payable otherwise than on demand.
Since a Cheque has been declared to be a bill of exchange, it must have all its
characteristics as mentioned in Section 5 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881.
Therefore, one can say that a Cheque can be defined as an:
An unconditional order in writing drawn on a specified banker, signed by the drawer,
requiring the banker to pay on demand a sum certain in money to, or to the order of, a
specified person or to the bearer, and which does not order any act to be done in
addition to the payment of money.
3.17.1.5) The Requisites of Cheque

38/109
Bearer cheques are cashable at the counter of the bank. These can also be collected
through clearing.
b) Order cheque
These types of cheques are also cashable on the counter but its holder must satisfy the
banker that he is the proper man to collect the payment of the cheque and he has to show
his identification. It can also be collected through clearing.
c) Crossed Cheque
These cheques are not payable in cash at the counters of a banker. It can only be credited
to the payees account. If there are two persons having accounts at the same bank, one of
the account holder issues a cross-cheque in favour of the other account holder. Then the
cheque will be credited to the account of the person to whom the cheque was issued and
debited from the account of the person who has actually issued the cheque.
3.17.1.8) Payment of Cheques
It is a bankers primary contract to repay money received for his customers account
usually by honouring his cheques. Payment of money deposited by the customer is one of
the root functions of banking. The acid test of banking is the receipt of money etc. from
the depositors, and repayment to them. This paying function is one, which is the
distinguishing mark of a banker and differentiates him from other institutions, which
receive money from the public. However the bankers legal protection is only when
payment is in Due Course. The payment in due course means payment in accordance
with the apparent tenor of the instrument, in good faith and without negligence to any
person in possession thereof under circumstances, which do not afford a reasonable
ground of believing that he is not entitled to receive payment of the amount thereinmentioned. It is a contractual obligation of a banker to honor his customers cheques if
the following essentials are fulfilled.
a) Cheques should be in a proper form:
b) Cheque should not be crossed:

c) Cheque should be drawn on the particular bank:
d) Cheque should not mutilated:
e) Funds must be sufficient and available:
f) The Cheque should not be post dated or stale:
g) Cheque should be presented during banking hours:
h) 3.17.2 CLEARANCE DEPARTMENT
A clearinghouse is an association of commercial banks set up in given locality for the
purpose of interchange and settlement of credit claims. The function of clearinghouse is
performed by the central bank of a country by tradition or by law. In Pakistan, the
clearing system is operated by the SBP. If SBP has no office at a place, then NBP, as a
representative of SBP act as a clearinghouse.
After the World War II, a rapid growth in banking institutions has taken place. The use of
cheques in making payments has also widely increased. The collection as settlement of
mutual obligations in the form of cheques is now a big task for all the commercial bank.
When Cheque is drawn on one bank and the holder (payee) deposits the same in hisaccount at the bank of the drawer, the mutual obligation are settled by the internal bank
administration and there arises no inter bank debits from the use of cheques. The total
assets and total liabilities of the bank remain unchanged.
In practice, the person receiving a Cheque as rarely a depositor of the cheque at the same
bank as the drawer. He deposits the cheque with his bank other than of payer for the
collection of the amount. Now the bank in which the cheque has been deposited becomes
a creditor of the drawers bank. The depositor bank will pay his amount of the cheque by
transferring it from cash reserves if there are no offsetting transactions. The banks on
which the cheques are drawn become in debt to the bank in which the cheques are
deposited. At the same time, the creditors banks receive large amounts of cheques drawn
on other banks giving claims of payment by them.

40/109
The easy, safe and most efficient way is to offset the reciprocal claims against the other
and receive only the net amount owned by them. This facility of net inter bank payment
is provided by the clearinghouse.
The representatives of the local commercial banks meet at a fixed time on all the business
days of the week. The meeting is held in the office of the bank that officially performs the
duties of clearinghouse. The representatives of the commercial banks deliver the cheques
payable at other local banks and receive the cheques drawn on their bank. The cheques
are then sorted according to the bank on which they are drawn. A summary sheet is
prepared which shows the names of the banks, the total number of cheques delivered and
received by them. Totals are also made of all the cheques presented by or to each bank.
The difference between the total represents the amount to be paid by a particular bank
and the amount to be received by it. Each bank then receives the net amount due to it or
pays the net amount owed by it.
3.17.2.1) In-Word Clearing Books
The bank uses this book for the purpose of recording all the cheques that are being
received by the bank in the first clearing. All details of the cheques are recorded in this
book.
3.17.2.2) Out-Word Clearing Book:
The bank uses outward clearing register for the purpose of recording all the details of the
cheques that the bank has delivered to other banks.
3.18 ADVANCES DEPARTMENT
Advances department is one of the most sensitive and important departments of the bank.
The major portion of the profit is earned through this department. The job of this
department is to make proposals about the loans. The Credit Management Division of
Head Office directly controls all the advances. As we known bank is a profit seeking
institution. It attracts surplus balances from the customers at low rate of interest and
makes advances at a higher rate of interest to the individuals and business firms. Credit

extensions are the most important activity of all financial institutions, because it is the
main source of earning. However, at the same time, it is a very risky task and the risk
cannot be completely eliminated but could be minimized largely with certain techniques.
Any individual or company, who wants loan from NBP, first of all has to undergo the
filling of a prescribed form, which provides the following information to the banker.
3.18.1) Name and address of the borrower.
a) Existing financial position of a borrower at a particular branch.
b) Accounts details of other banks (if any).
c) Security against loan.
d) Exiting financial position of the company. (Balance Sheet & Income Statement).
e) Signing a promissory note is also a requirement of lending, through this note
borrower promise that he will be responsible to pay the certain amount of money
with interest.
3.18.2) Principles of Advances
There are five principles, which must be duly observed while advancing money to the
borrowers.
a. Safety
b. Liquidity
c. Dispersal
d. Remuneration
e. Suitability
a. Safety

42/109
Bankers funds comprise mainly of money borrowed from numerous customers on
various accounts such as Current Account, Savings Bank Account, Call Deposit Account,
Special Notice Account and Fixed Deposit Account. It indicates that whatever money the
banker holds is that of his customers who have entrusted the banker with it only because
they have full confidence in the expert handling of money by their banker. Therefore, the
banker must be very careful and ensure that his depositors money is advanced to safe
hands where the risk of loss does not exist. The elements of character, capacity and
capital can help a banker in arriving at a conclusion regarding the safety of advances
allowed by him.
b. Character
It is the most important factor in determining the safety of advance, for there is no
substitute for character. A borrowers character can indicate his intention to repay the
advance since his honesty and integrity is of primary importance. If the past record of the
borrower shows that his integrity has been questionable, the banker should avoid him,
especially when the securities offered by him are inadequate in covering the full amount
of advance.
It is obligation on the banker to ensure that his borrower is a person of character and has
capacity enough to repay the money borrowed including the interest thereon.
c. Capacity
This is the management ability factor, which tells how successful a business has been in
the past and what the future possibilities are. A businessman may not have vast financial
resources, but with sound management abilities, including the insight into a specific
business, he may make his business very profitable. On the other hand if a person has no
insight into the particular business for which he wants to borrow funds from the banker,
there are more chances of loss to the banker.
d. Capital
Internship Report on NBP, Fatima Jinnah Road Branch Hyderabad
42

8/8/2019 Internship_Report on NBP by Jehanzeb Memon IMSA BBA 18
43/109
This is the monetary base because the money invested by the proprietors represents their
faith in the business and its future. The role of commercial banks is to provide short-term
capital for commerce and industry, yet some borrowers would insist that their bankers
provide most of the capital required. This makes the banker a partner. As such the banker
must consider whether the amount requested for is reasonable to the borrowers own
resources or investment.
e. Liquidity
Liquidity means the possibilities of recovering the advances in emergency, because all
the money borrowed by the customer is repayable in lump sum on demand. Generally the
borrowers repay their loans steadily, and the funds thus released can be used to allow
fresh loans to other borrowers. Nevertheless, the banker must ensure that the money he is
lending is not blocked for an undue long time, and that the borrowers are in such a
financial position as to pay back the entire amount outstanding against them on a short
notice. In such a situation, it is very important for a banker to study his borrowers assets
to liquidity, because he would prefer to lend only for a short period in order to meet the
shortfalls in the wording capital. If the borrower asks for an advance for the purchase of
fixed assets the banker should refuse because it shall not be possible for him to repay
when the banker wants his customer to repay the amount. Hence, the baker must adhereto the consideration of the principles of liquidity very careful.
f. Dispersal
The dispersal of the amount of advance should be broadly based so that large number of
borrowing customer may benefit from the bankers funds. The banker must ensure that
his funds are not invested in specific sectors like textile industry, heavy engineering or
agriculture. He must see that from his available funds he advances them to a wide range
of sector like commerce, industry, farming, agriculture, small business, housing projects
and various other financial concerns in order of priorities.

8/8/2019 Internship_Report on NBP by Jehanzeb Memon IMSA BBA 18
44/109
Dispersal of advances is very necessary from the point of security as well, because it
reduces the risk of recovery when something goes wrong in one particular sector or in
one field.
g. Remuneration
A major portion of the bankers earnings comes form the interest charged on the money
borrowed by the customers. The banker needs sufficient earnings to meet the following:
a) Interest payable to the money deposited with him.
b) Salaries and fringe benefits payable to the staff members.
c) Overhead expense and depreciation and maintenance of the fixed assets of the
bank.
d) An adequate sum to meet possible losses.
e) Provisions for a reserve fund to meet unforeseen contingencies.
f) Payment of dividends to the shareholders.
h. Suitability
The word suitability is not to be taken in its usual literary sense but in the broader sense
of purport. It means that advance should be allowed not only to the carefully selected and
suitable borrowers but also in keeping with the overall national development plans
chalked out by the authorities concerned. Before accommodating a borrower the banker
should ensure that the lending is for a purpose in conformity with the current national
credit policy laid down by the central bank of the country.
3.18.3 Forms of Loans
In addition to purchase and discounting of bills, bankers in Pakistan generally lend in the
form of cash finance, overdrafts and loans. NBP provides advances to different people in
different ways as the case demand.

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

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

and secure way of transfer of money. NBP takes fixed commission of Rs. 25 per pay
order from the account holder and Rs. 100 from a non-account holder.
3.19.3) Telegraphic Transfer
Telegraphic transfer or cable transfer is the quickest method of making remittances.
Telegraphic transfer is an order by telegram to a bank to pay a specified sum of money to
the specified person. The customer for requesting TT fills an application form. Vouchers
are prepared and sent by ordinary mail to keep the record. TT charges are taken from the
customer. No excise duty is charged on TT. The TT charges are:
Telegram/ Fax Charges on TT = Actual-minimum Rs.125.
Cable telegram transfer costs more as compared to other title of money. In cable transfer
the bank uses a secret system of private code, which is known to the person concerned
with this department and branch manager.
3.19.4) Mail Transfer
When the money is not required immediately, the remittances can also be made by mail
transfer (MT). Here the selling office of the bank sends instructions in writing by mail to
the paying bank for the payment of a specified amount of money. Debiting to the buyers
account at the selling office and crediting to the recipients account at the paying bank

no excise duty is charged. Postage
charges on mail transfer are actual minimum Rs. 40/- if sent by registered post locally

3.20 HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Human Resource plays a vital role in the success of every service organization. They
interact between man and machine. Their attitude can win or loose the customer. The
positive attitude could only be created in a conducive environment, which can make the
staff dedicated towards the organization and its objectives. In reality the man is more
important than machine as it is the human which could get maximum out of machine tokeep a happy customer. However, most organizations give little importance to this very
important asset.
Various aspects related to human resource of National Bank of Pakistan are critically
examined in the following text:
3.20.1) Selection & Recruitment
Although the Bank believes in merit but in practice the selection of employees is not
done on merit. Most of the employees are low educated. This shows that candidates with
some strong family background or political pressure are given preference in recruitment
and qualified candidates are sometimes left behind.
3.20.2) Job for Life
Like the employee of public sector organizations in Pakistan, the employees of NBP also
enjoy their job for life. Since there is no risk of early retirement or redundancy in rank,
they do not perform with their full potentials. This is one redundancy in rank, they do not
perform with their full potentials, and this is one of the reasons responsible for the low
productivity of the employees of the Bank.

3.20.3) Performance Appraisal
The performance of employees of the Bank are appraised though their annual confidential
reports at the end of each year. This has become an outdated method of performance
appraisal and no longer used due to the following reasons:
1. The performance of employees is evaluated after quite a long time.
2. Element of subjectivity is involved in this method.
3. Employees participation is not ensured in the process of evaluation.
4. Objectives of employees are not quantified.
3.20.4) Inter Personal Relationship
Modern management acknowledges human resources as one of the most important
assets of an organization. But by their very nature, human beings are also the most
unpredictable. Where a number of persons work together, interactions among them, of
necessity, will lead to conflicts and NBP is no exception. Most interpersonal conflicts in
NBP can be traced back to the following major heads.
Lack of Communication
Lack of communication is for the biggest reason for conflicts. Not only it is due to the
failure to send a massage but to an interpretation given to the massage by the receiver is
different from that intended.
3.20.5) Diversity in Values
Diversity in values, perceptions, cultural background and life-style is another reason
responsible for inter personal conflicts in NBP. Different values and perceptions about
the same issue, event or personality hinder understanding. When things come to such a
pavement, therefore, interpersonal conflicts are generated.

50/109
The dominant trend in all modern industrial societies of the world is merit and expertise,
which helps promote cohesion and reduce conflicts. But the feudalistic mindset is still
very strong in our set up and there is no tradition of tolerance for differing viewpoints.
Hence, interpersonal conflicts are generated.
3.20.6) Corruption
Our social acceptance of corruption gives rise to corruption at every level of social and
organizational set up. Corruption involves financial embezzlement, favoritism, nepotism,
and other number of such practices. All these cause resentment that keep building up and
lead to conflict sooner or later.
In the past few years, some cases of frauds have happened in different branches. The
reasons can be linked with the employee dissatisfaction of NBP.
3.20.7) Discipline & Authority
Maintaining discipline and implementation of authority (tables) in letter and spirit is the
key to success of any organization. In NBP, The authority tables are not strictly
maintained. Line managers are not fully equipped with the authority with no vertical or
horizontal interference.

d) Three rupees per cheque should be recovered from a/c holder if not then debit

e) 3.21.3 Current account
These are payable to the customer whenever they are demanded. When a banker accepts
a demand deposit, he incurs the obligation of paying all cheques etc. drawn against him
to the extent of the balance in the account. Because of their nature, these deposits are
treated as current liabilities by the banks. Bankers in Pakistan do not allow any profit on
these deposits, and customers are required to maintain a minimum balance, failing which
incidental charges are deducted from such accounts. This is because the depositors may
withdraw Current Account at any time, and as such the bank is not entirely free to
employ such deposits.
Until a few decades back, the proportion of Current Deposits in relation to Fixed
Deposits was very small. In recent years, however, the position has changed remarkably.
Now, the Current Deposits have become more important; but still the proportion of
Current Deposits and Fixed Deposits varies from bank to bank, branch to branch, and
from time to time.
3.21.4 Saving account

53

8/8/2019 Internship_Report on NBP by Jehanzeb Memon IMSA BBA 18
54/109
Savings Deposits account can be opened with very small amount of money, and the
depositor is issued a chequebook for withdrawals. Profit is paid at a flexible rate
calculated on six-month basis under the Interest-Free Banking System. There is no
restriction on the withdrawals from the deposit accounts but the amount of money
withdrawn is deleted from the amount to be taken for calculation of products for
assessment of profit to be paid to the account holder. It discourages unnecessary
withdrawals from the deposits.
In order to popularize this scheme the State Bank of Pakistan has allowed the Savings
Scheme for school and college students and industrial labor also. The purpose of these
accounts is to inculcate the habit of savings in the constituents. As such, the initial
deposit required for opening these accounts is very nominal.
