CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background
Internships provide real world experience to those looking to explore or gain the relevant
knowledge and skills required to enter into a particular career field. Internships are
relatively short term in nature with the primary focus on getting some on the job training
and taking what’s learned in the classroom and applying it to the real world.
The Bachelor in Business Administration (BBA) program under the faculty of
management of ……University is a four year semester system program that provides
knowledge in the management field. BBA is the advanced management course with the
objective of preparing students to take up middle level managerial positions in business
sector along with development of entrepreneurial skills. So at our eighth semester, we are
assigned to prepare an internship report by working in any financial institution or corporate
house to get familiar with the real working scenario.
This internship report covers an overview of general banking procedures of one of the
branch of Rastriya Banijya Bank Limited situated at Lagankhel,Lalitpur. Here focus is
made in knowing the framework and guidelines of various departments and their working
procedures. The study is at its layer covering major three departments and they are
Customer Service, Credit/Loan and Clearance department.
During the internship period at RBB, the internee spent more time on Customer Service
and Credit department because these two departments were more active at the branch than
others and interns were not allowed in Cash teller as every bank has their own rule. Credit
department is considered as important because main earning of any bank is interest earning
that will be possible only if quality of lending is made by credit department whereas
customer service is considered as another important department because it reflects overall
image of bank performance. This internship report covers all the activities learnt and
contributed during my 8 weeks internship at RBB at Suryabinayak.

CHAPTER II
INTRODUCTION TO THE BANKING INDUSTRY
2.1. Meaning of Bank
Bank is a financial institution, which deals with money by accepting various types of
deposits, disbursing loan and providing other financial services. It is not safe for the people
to keep their money with themselves and even investing on their own would be risky and
more costly. Therefore the bank collects small amount of money from the general public
and provide some interest in return. The money thus accumulated can be invested in
different sectors such as business, trade, agriculture, industries and social works for which
it charges certain percentage of interest which is higher than the interest they provide to
depositors. We can say that the bank actually acts as mediator between savers and
borrowers as they collect money from savers and provide to the investors or users.
A bank provides easy payment and withdrawal facility to its customers in the form of
cheques and drafts. It also provides various banking facilities to its customers including
general utility services and agency services. A bank is a profit seeking institution having
service oriented approach.
According to the shorter Oxford English dictionary," A bank is an establishment for the
custody of money received from or on behalf of its customer essential duty is to pay draft
on is profit areas from its use of the money left unemployed by them".
According to Nepal Rastra Bank Act 2002, “Bank is a financial institution, which provides
financial services that may be in the form of accepting deposits, advancing loan, providing
necessary technical advice, dealing over foreign currencies, remitting funds, etc.”
2.2. Evolution of Banking Industry in World
The concept of banking is not a modern concept. This concept had started to evolve
immediately after the humans were able to realize and develop money. Money had made
the human life much easier than before in barter system. But along with that money also
had created some complexities in their life. So, in order to overcome these complexities
and the difficulties that were attached with the benefit of money the concept of banking
emerged in the human mind. Earlier the moneylenders and the landlords performed the
banking activities as the informal banks but later the activities of these people were
formalized and the concept of bank as an institution emerged.
5
The term bank is either derived from Old Italian word “Banca” or from a French word
“Banque” which both mean a Bench or money exchange table .In olden days, European
money lenders or money changers used to display coins of different countries in big
quantity on benches or tables for the purpose of lending or exchanging. The Jews of
Lambardy were thought to be the early bankers who transacted third business at the
benches in the marketplace and when they were unable to meet their liabilities, the
depositors used to break their benches and this tradition had given birth to a banking term
“Bankrupt”.The first ancient Bank of the world is supposed to be the Bank of Venice
which was established in 1157 A.D. Following the footsteps of this bank, other two banks
were established in 1401 and 1407 named Bank of Barcelona and Bank of Geneva,
respectively. The crucial breakthrough in the modern banking history was made in 1694
A.D when the first modern bank “The Bank of England” was established. After the
establishment of this first English Bank, Banking sector had experienced various ups and
downs but still they persisted and because of that persistence they are now able to exist in
this 21st century world as one of the essential element of human life.
Nowadays, banking sector acts as the backbone of modern business. Development of any
country mainly depends upon the banking system. Presently, banks are not only the
deposits collecting and loan lending institutions but also the institutions which helps its
customers from various ways as per their convenience and ability with full security. They
had been developed as the essential service providing institutions in this rushing world.
The banks had start affecting the lifestyle of the citizens as well as the economy of the
country as well.
2.3. Evolution of Banking Industry in Nepal
In the ancient period, the concept of bank existed, when goldsmiths and the rich people
used to give money to the common people against their valuable items as collateral and the
depositors would get back their gold and valuables after paying the total amount which
included a small amount for safekeeping and saving. Nepal is no exception as goldsmiths;
landlord and other rich people were the ancient bankers.
The modern banking started in Nepal with the establishment of Nepal Bank Limited in
1937 A.D. It was the first commercial bank established with the motive to develop trade
and industry in the country. It was established with 51% ownership of the government and
49% equity participation from the public. The central bank of the country, Nepal Rastra
Bank was set up in 1956 A.D. with the development of banking sector and to help the
6
government formulate monetary policies. Since then it contributed to the growth of
financial sector. The growth and development of the country is possible only when
competitive banking services reach each and every corner of the country. However, as the
central bank, Nepal Rastra Bank had its own limitations and as a commercial bank it was
not logical for Nepal Bank Limited to go to unprofitable sectors. So, the government
established RastriyaBanijya Bank in 1966 A.D as a fully state owned commercial bank to
eliminate such problem. Later in 1984 A.D, Nepal Arab Bank, the first joint venture bank
of Nepal was established with the aim to provide quality-banking service, enhance the
efficiency and healthy competition. The bank was the outcome of joint venture with Dubai
Bank Limited of United Arab Emirates.
After the restoration of democracy in Nepal there has been tremendous development in
banking sector. The economic and financial reform policies undertaken by the government
have increased both number of banks and the types of services offered. For the purpose of
regulation and control, NRB has divided the depository financial institutions into four
classes on the basis of minimum paid up capital requirement and functions.
This classification is unique feature of Nepalese banking industry only and there is no such
classification globally. The Nepalese version of classification of depository financial
institutions as per paid up capital according to the Nepal Rastra Bank the central bank of
Nepal is shown in table 2.1.
Table 2.1: Financial Institutions in Nepal
Minimum Paid up
Category Type of Financial institution Number
Capital Requirement
A Commercial Banks 8 Billion 28
Development Banks
National level 250 million 36
B
4 to 10 district level 120 million
1 to 3 district level 50 million
Finance Companies
C National level 80 million 25
1 to 3 district level 40 million
D Micro Finance Development Banks 2million 58
(Source: [Link])
The above table shows the classification and sub-classification of financial institutions.
The minimum paid up capital mentioned above is the capital that the financial institutions
are maintaining currently.
7
Since the internee had completed the internship in one of the commercial banks of Nepal,
the report is specifically focused on the “A” category depository institutions i.e. the
Commercial [Link] banks are the banks that are classified in category “A” as
per their minimum paid up capital of Rs.8 billion. They provide various services such as
money exchange, accept deposits, grant loans, and offer basic investment products. These
institutions are run to make profit and owned by a group of individuals.
2.4. Current Scenario of Banking Industry in Nepal
As the internee has already mentioned that after the restoration of democracy in Nepal
there has been tremendous development in banking sector. The economic and financial
reform policies undertaken by the government has increased both number of banks and the
types of services offered. Currently the banking sector is evolving to be very competitive
and challenging. The fastest growing and emerging industrial sector today is not other than
banking. It is flourishing and upgrading day by day. Banks are using various new
technological advancements to provide timely, fastest and economical services to the
customers. Banks with the collaboration of other financial institutions, IT’s and other
organizations they always try to attract the customers. The different ages of banking sector
clarifies the improving current scenario of banking. It can be summarized as in following
bullets.
There is ongoing trend of merger by the banks which are suffering from the
problem of low capital base and limited geographical [Link] of
financial institutions are decreasing though becoming powerful.
A wave of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) has started among the new BFIs, but very
few of them have opted for this route.
The banking industry has been very supportive and doing various activities to help
the victims of earthquake 25th April, 2015 which include collection of disaster
relief fund.
The central bank has directed the banks and other financial institutions to provide
home loan for reconstruction of houses with different conditions and facilities in
favor of earthquake victims. It has also proposed different conditions and facilities
in favor of existing credit holders who are also the victims without hampering the
profitability of banking and financial institutions.
Nepal Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) gained the membership of international
institution Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units. The membership would
8
help to exchange financial intelligence between Nepalese and other international
financial institutions in a secure way using Egmont Secure Web.
The commercial banks are reducing the interest rate lower than the inflation rate.
The unhealthy competition and low investment against the flows of deposit have
compelled the banks to cut the interest rate.
The net profit of banking and financial institutions in aggregate also shows
increasing trend.
2.5. Challenges of Banking Industry in Nepal
With the rapid growth in the field of technology, with the growing competition level the
challenges in the banking sectors are also increasing. Some of the challenges are
mentioned below:
Dealing with aggressive and innovative non-bank competitors.
Implementing fully digital banking.
Interactive customization of products and services to meet customer demands.
To come to a new level of growth and sustainable profitability by developing new
and reliable sources of revenue.
Rebuilding asset quality and strengthening their capital adequacy as the central
bank has proposed to increase the capital of different class of financial institutions
up to certain limit within 2 years.
Enriching and increasing the business value of customer relationships, at a time
when customer behaviors and expectations are more demanding.
There is challenge in managing excess liquidity problem. Due to lack of investment
resulted by the complex investment climate, the investors are not making any
investment.
2.6. Opportunities of Banking Industry in Nepal
With the increase in the urbanization, living standard of people, increase in income, the
concern of people is increasing for the management of their financial activities. Besides the
drastic improvement in the technology which has led to several innovations in the field of
technology has also opened the door for opportunities. Some are listed below:
By reaching remote locations, BFIs can utilize the funds available and contribute
towards overall development.
9
Proper availability of remittance services via banking channels all over Nepal,
especially to the remote areas, can prove to be crucial. Since remittance is one of
the mainstays of our economy, it must be given special consideration.
The industry can customize its product and services for earthquake victims to
project positive image which refers to Corporate Social Responsibility.
The banking sector also realizes the potential of small and medium sized
enterprises (SMEs) in the rural sector.

CHAPTER IV
ANALYSIS OF ACTIVITIES DONE AND PROBLEM SOLVED
During my internship at RBB, Suryabinayak, the internee worked in three departments.
They were Credit/Loan, Customer service and Clearing departments. In all the departments
the internee worked sincerely and achieved inevitable knowledge that will be beneficial in
my future. With the keen support of bank staff, the internee was able to use theoretical
knowledge in actual field. As an intern, the internee was able to gain as much as possible
practical experience with the help of staffs. The environment was fully supportive and
realistic view of workplace could be experienced. In every department, way of dealing
with the customer was different. The internee’s contribution and learning while working at
different department are mentioned below.
[Link] Used
RBBL has installed PUMORI Plus-III as banking software throughout the branches to
carry out all the banking activities. PUMORI Plus is an online multi-user; multi-currency
integrated banking system of international standard developed by Mercantile Office
Systems, Nepal. It integrates all functions of front office and back office as one package.
The system runs on Windows NT network and provides adequate security features for
keeping smooth operation of the system.
[Link] Department
Bank provides various loan facilities as per the requirement of customer such as loan
against fixed deposits/government bonds, loan against gold, personal loan etc. that help to
manage personal as well as business needs of the customers. Credit department basically
invests by lending certain amount to customers and charge some fixed rate of interest. The
interest rate is always greater than the interest rate on deposits because it is more risky.
This department is one of the crucial departments for a bank to increase its earning and
project image among people. The decisions in this department should be made very
carefully because there may be chances of default risk, cases of fraud and money
laundering.
4.2.1. Activities Performed in Credit department
