INTRODUCTION 1.1.HISTORY
National bank of Pakistan was established on November 8,1949 through passing of a special ordinance in the National Assembly. The need for the establishment came due to the reason when at that time newly born country was facing economic crises. To get rid the intervention form the Reserve Bank of India, a self owned and operated Central Bank by the name of State Bank of Pakistan was formed in July 1948 to carry on the responsibilities of issuing the currency and most importantly controlling the flow of money inside the country. State Bank of Pakistan after its formation demanded from the Indian Reserve Bank the assets against the Indian currency retired from Pakistan territory. Government of India refused to hand over the assets worth about five hundred million rupees. This dispute is still unsettled and these assets are still not delivered to Pakistan. When British decided to devalue its currency in 1949, India followed a suit against it, but Pakistan did not, a decision, which attracted some criticism at that time, but was, certainly justified itself in the way it facilitated the industrialization in of the country. The arrangement have been made that the currencies of the countries were to be at par with each other and neither could alter the par value of its currency without consulting the other. India promptly challenged Pakistans decision as a contravention of the agreement. After some correspondence between the two Governments, India agreed to recognize the par value of the Pakistani rupee and a date was decided on which both Central Banks would announce the par value of their currencies. An attempt was made by the Pakistan Government to persuade India to adhere to their previous agreement and an officer of the Finance Ministry was sent on a one-man mission to Delhi for this purpose. The officer had discussion with the Indian Ministry of Finance at the highest level but his mission not fruitful. As a result of the exchange rate controversy, regular trade and payments between the two countries came to standstill. India froze the surplus earned by Pakistan from a favorable balance of trade, and one more financial dispute, which is still alive, was added to the unsettled list. One of the immediate consequences of this situation was the withdrawal of Mrwari Merchants of the Indian finance, which used to be employed annually for the movement of Pakistans jute crop. A crisis of the first magnitude threatened because the jute crop was already in the markets and, as there was no money to move so prices began to fall precipitously. At that time, there was no jute industry in Pakistan, not a single jute loom or a spindle and no possibility, therefore, of utilizing any of the crops with in the country. As jute prices collapsed, foreign merchants and foreign banks stood aside to watch the process and the seriousness of the situation threatened to promote agrarian unrest. It was now very evident that the government of Pakistan could not afford to continue that the special mission to Delhi had failed, Government of Pakistan moved quickly. Two ordinances were passed immediately, one

setting up the Jute Board and other National Bank of Pakistan. The objective of the Jute Board was to reorganize and rehabilitate the jute trade by helping parties to handle it and to stabilize the market. National Bank of Pakistan was established to provide finance to suitable parties. Thus it came about that National Bank of Pakistan stood behind the jute trade and State Bank of Pakistan behind the National Bank, and government stood behind the State Bank. It was all organized so rapidly (six branches came into being at once) that any doubt that might have lurked in the minds of outsiders about Pakistans ability to tackle the situation were dispelled once and or all. Until June 1950, the Bank was engaged exclusively on jute operation. Thereafter, it was felt that it could expand its business to include other commodities as well. Bank took a big stride in 1952, when it replaced the Imperial Bank of India, as an agent of State Bank of Pakistan. Presently, there are 24 overseas branches, and 11 regional offices, 1250 Domestic branches of the National Bank of Pakistan.

1.2. An Overview:o NBP maintain its position as Pakistans Premier Bank o NBP is major business parter of government of akistan o It has special emphasis on fostering Pakistans economic growth through: Aggressive Balance lending policy o NBP also handles treasury transactions for government of Pakistan as an agent to state of Pakistan o NBP has a network of over 1100 branches locally and 15 overseas branches

1.3. Objectives:-

National bank of Pakistan is also a commercial organization a n d i t s m a i n objective is profit maximization. This is achieved in two ways:1. By increasing deposits.2. By charging interest on loans provided to the private sector and businesscommunity.These are explained as: Increase in deposits: Competition in banking is intense and every bank whether it is Pakistani, foreign,private or nationalized tries to increase its deposits by providing better facilities toits customers. By increasing its deposits a bank can extend greater amount of loan and hence achieves higher profit. NBP is also improving its facilities andservices to attract customers with higher volume of deposits. There are two mainfactors involved in increasing the deposits. These factors are improving theservices and courtesy. NBP is continuously working on these two factors toincrease its deposits. Extension of loans: The profitability of a bank largely depends on the amount given to people as loanand the type of people to whom credit is given i.e. the credit worthiness of theborrowers. This strategy has worked quite well for NBP. Deposits are collectedfrom the people and invested in different projects. NBP prefers to give loans tofinancially sound and reliable parties, after securing the collators. NBP has anextremely well organized section. The staff is adequately trained, and educatedand competent. They carry out extensive financial analysis before deciding onthe loan. Interest charged on the loans potentially contributes to higher profits. Some of the other objectives of NBP are: i. Improve customer services. ii. Quick disposal of credit cases. 9

iii. Efficient operation of the branches. iv. Better Public Relations. v. Operational and advisory services for foreign exchange accounts activities

1.4. Research Methodology:1. Primary research 2. Secondary research.

Research is the way to gather the relevant data to resolve a problem & there are commonly two basic ways to gather the information.

1. Primary research:-

Primary research is the research that an individual collects by hiself to resolve the problem. E.g: Servey, Observation, Experiments, Focus Group etc. Secondary research is the other way to gather the relevant information but it is already done previously by some other ones we just store that data from secondary research that would be suitable for us. E.g: Internet, Govt: Agencies, Libraries, Newspapers etc. . The Information that I have collected during my internship was based on primary & secondary data because I myself conducted some research tools like Survey to my Branch Manager & collected information regarding to the organization of NBP but on the mean while I also took help by getting data through Secondary research by brouchers of NBP, By Website commonly etc.

2. Secondary research:-

1.5. Purpose Of Study:-

It involves specifying the objective of the business venture or projectand identifying the internal and external factors that are favorable andunfavorable to achieving that objective.If SWOT analysis does not start withdefining a desired end state or objective, it runs the risk of being useless. ASWOT analysis may be incorporated into the strategic planning model. Anexample of a strategic planning technique that incorporates an objective-driven SWOT analysis is SCAN analysis. Strategic Planning, includingSWOT and SCAN analysis, has been the subject of much research. Strengths: Attributes of the organization that is helpful to achieving the objective. Weaknesses: Attributes of the organization that is harmful to achieving the objective. Opportunities: External conditions that is helpful to achieving the objective.

Weaknesses: The Major problem with NBP is its image as it is a Govt. bank so the vision of the customer is not positive about it. People think it will not provide them satisfactory services. In many branches management is not up to date.

In many branches management is not up to date. In small areas branches employees have less education. Award and promotion policies are not implemented in all branches. There is no concept of job rotation

4.2 PEST ANALYSIS

Internship Report on NBP, Karianwala Branch Gujrat 55

It is very important that an organization considers its environment beforebeginning the marketing process. In fact, environmental analysis should becontinuous and feed all aspects of planning. The organization's marketingenvironment is made up of: 1. The internal environment e.g. staff (or internal customers), office technology, wages and finance, etc. 2. The micro-environment e.g. our external customers, agents and distributors, suppliers, our competitors, etc. 3. The macro-environment e.g. Political (and legal) forces, Economic forces,Sociocultural forces, and Technological forces. These are known asPESTfactors. Political:

Privatization policy and deregulation. Impact of subsidized credit affecting and NCBs. Employment practices, Unions, Associations. Political Interference and harassment.

Incidents of high taxation on banking industry. Economical:

Inadequate human resources.

At the end of research, I found that the following areas need consideration: Heavy Administration Costs.. Very Fewer Job Openings. Low Interest rates due to State Bank interference.

Over burden of employees observed during research. Traditional methods of Banking. Difficulties in Automation of (ATM) machines.

34

 The Administration costs is too difficult to ignore for profitable banking Operations, so the Old Vouchering system should be replaced with Computers to save the time & cost (money) as well.. The Human Resource Department needs to analyze each and every job through the process of job analysis. There should be some job opening annually or semi annually for fresh candidates It will help HBL to brainstorm new ideas to implement. The interest rates should be grown up by State bank by which the Customes can easily be motivate to invest their amount in HBL.. There is a need of coordination & mutual confidence between the staff & management at the time of decision Making. The Management of HBL should Empowered the Employees by which they can give their best to Achieve the goal of Organization There is a need of educated staff members and to create spirit of competent with other commercial banks. The Management of HBL should Hire The efficient candidates who really know to operate the technology to save the time of the organization.There must be some training program for employees to equip them and warm from latest information especially to the staff of branches. There should be easy access of online branches in Rural areas because there is a need & demand of Online banking to enjoy the Competitive Advantage.
