all these commercial banks are running on profit compared to other industries.
Internship at RBBL for eight weeks had been one of the most significant internship
experiences. Although it’s my first internship, it had helped me to analyze my internal
strength and weakness and developed me professionally. During this internship, I
worked mainly on CSD, ECC and Cheque which helped me to interact with real
world scenario. With continuous hard work and effort during this period, I was able
to develop good relationship with RBBL staffs and management as well as with other
unknown faces. This experience taught me importance of personal relationship and
consequently, helped to develop interpersonal relationship as well as communication
skills.

managerial skills.

CHAPTER II
Now days, the World Bank refers to those institutions which are established under
law for dealing with monetary transactions. It means those institutions are treated as
bank which accept the deposit of public and grant loan to the needy person or
businessmen or industrialists against security deposit. Simply saying bank is a
financial institution. It conducts general utility and agency functions and works as
medium of exchange. Any institutions offering deposit subject withdrawal on
demand and making loans of a commercial a business nature is a bank.
"Bank is a financial institution, which provides financial services that may be in the
form of accepting deposits, advancing loan, providing necessary technical advices,
dealing overt foreign currencies, remitting funds, etc." (Nepal Rastra Bank Act
2002)
Thus, a bank performs a highly appreciable function in the economy by offering
relatively safe, convenient, liquid and accessible securities (cash) and at the same
time by accepting relatively risky, illiquid, inconvenient, long time and large
denomination securities offered by the borrower.
Commercial banks have started emerging in the private sector since then. As a
result, now there are 28 commercial banks operated in a country. Evolution of the
information technology has revolutionized the banking sector by saving lots of time
and money. Invention of different software and hardware, that are very essential and
available for functioning bank such as banking software, ATM, E-banking, mobile
banking and card like Debit card, Credit card, Master card, Prepaid card etc. helps
the customer as well as to bank to operate and conduct their activities more
effectively and efficiently.
“A commercial bank is that bank which exchanges money, accepts deposits, grants
loan and performs banking function.” (The Commercial Bank Act, 2031 B.S.)
With the opening of NABIL Bank in 1985 AD, the door of opening commercial
bank was opened to the private sector. A whole lot of commercial banks were
opened in Nepal afterwards. There are altogether 28 commercial banks opened till
now. The number has decreased presently because of ongoing merger to meet the
paid up capital requirement of Rs.8 billion. The Nepalese version of classification of
depository financial institutions according to the Nepal Rastra Bank, the central
bank of Nepal is shown in Table 2.1.
Transferring money from one place to another and from one branch to
another branch of the bank.
Standing guarantee on behalf of its customers, for making payments for
purchase of goods, machinery, vehicles etc.
Rastriya Banijya Bank Limited (RBBL), a fully government owned bank, is one of
the pioneering commercial banks that has grown up to be an indispensable
component of Nepalese economy. RBBL was established on January 23, 1966 (2022
B.S. Magh 10) under the RBBL act to support economic growth and development in
Nepal. RBBL is an epitome of stable, strong, reflective, adaptive, and trustworthy
people’s bank. The bank was constituted under RBBL Act 2021 with full ownership
of the government of Nepal before it started operating under Bank and Financial
Institute Act (BAFIA) and Company Act (CA) 2063.
RBBL; which has made glorious history of contributing for the monetization of the
economy, eliminating dual currency in the market, initiating preliminary financial
literacy, help flourish industrial, commercial and financial sector of the country has
now emerged as a modern and strong financial institute of the country. The Bank
with 2600 hands has expanded its wings in the most part of the country through
multiple distribution outlets of 204 branches, 24 counters, 97 branch less banking
(BLB) and 131 ATMs. The Bank with the highest public confidence- reflected in the
highest deposit base and growing demand for branch establishment in the various
parts -has stood as a pyramid in the financial arena of the country. The Bank is fully
committed to contribute its best for the socio-economic development of the country
and people in the days to come.

The internal factors (Strength and weakness) are controllable and can be influenced
by the action of managers. The managers often strive to strengthen operational
efficiency and overcome realized weaknesses through regular monitoring and
supervision.
The external factors (opportunities and threats) are uncontrollable and of more
significance to the existence of an entity in the environment. Because these forces
cannot be controlled, the management tries to manage them through investment in
Competitive Intelligence, Research and Development and Technological
Breakthrough. The firms try to mould threats into opportunities in order to grasp the
opportunities to strengthen their competitive edge.
CHAPTER IV
ANALYSIS OF ACTIVITIES PERFORMED AND PROBLEM
SOLVED
During the eight weeks of internship in RBB Ltd, the internee was assigned in
Customer Service Department which helped internee to gain knowledge of that
department. The Customer service department at Rastriya Banijya Bank believes in
providing the world class services to all ourvalued customers. It is a department
which deals with customers and their complaints and orders. Therefore, it focuses
constantly to cater to all financial needs and services. Various activities that are
performed at the Customer Service Department are:
Informing Customer about different types of account and other queries they
have about the operation of bank.
Opening all types of accounts like saving, current, and other various
schemes.
The benefits of a customer service department are that the customers’ voices are
heard and that it allows businesses to get an assessment of what they're doing
right as well as what improvements need to be made. Customer service
department workers operate in different office environments depending on the
company. The basic functions of this department are:
Agree with the terms and conditions of the bank and sign the specimen card.
The party who has not filled the regular account opening form must fill up
the addendum.
After ascertaining completion of above said documents, the bank assigns an account
number, accepts deposit in the deposit slip (voucher) and issues a checkbook and
card to individual(s).
2. Corporate Account
There are four types of corporate account and the documents required for each
account are as follows:
i. Proprietorship Account:
A business firm registered in the name of a person/proprietor is known as sole
proprietorship firm. The proprietor enjoys all the profit and bears all the loss from
the operation of the business.
Registration Certificate
PAN Certificate
Citizenship Certificate/Passport

Board Resolution

KYC update is the recent activity that is carried out in all the commercial bank as
instructed by Nepal Rastra Bank. So, as per the instruction, I distributed and helped
the customer to fill up the KYC form at RBBL, BishalBazzar Branch. For KYC
update, we were told to inform the customer who visit the bank and who doesn’t
often visit the bank they were informed through telephone calls.
4.1.4 Procedures to close an account
Step1. The customer is asked the reasons for closing the account and tries to
convince not to close the account by explaining the benefit of the account and the
charges taken for closing the account.
Step2. If the customers are willing to close the account, he/she must fill up the form
specifying the reason.
Step3. After submission of the form to CSD, it is confirmed from the various
department that the customer is not enjoying and sort of facility from the bank at
present.
Step4. The client is then asked to return all his account related belongings like ATM
cards and the check book. These are received by the teller and are cancelled or
destroyed.
Step5. Then finally the account of the applicant is closed with certain charge.
Benefits of Statement:
There was lack of adequate follow ups with the customer regarding matters
such as informing them to collect their ATMs, Cheque Books, Cheque
clearing etc.
Due to the misplaced of some kind of documents due to furniture the bank
need to maintain those furniture.
The branch needs to recruit additional staff to handle the workload of the
department. This will make sure every work being done by the staffs in their
respective area.
Proper maintenance of the ATM machines needs to be done in order to
insure less complaint from the clients.
Team work is essential in this modern business era, which must be enhanced.
All the manager and staffs have to feel as the member of team rather than as
a boss and employee.
In the theoretical knowledge, it was studied that the banks follow each and
every regulation imposed by NRB but the company does not seem to follow
those rules as prescribed. The good example is KYC form should be filled in
front of the customer but it will be filled in the same format after opening the
account.
It has been taught that there must be knowledge in the staff about the related
field and must be experienced but the staffs generally lack effective learning
skill and lack deep knowledge in their field
5.1 Conclusion
The World Bank has been labeling Nepalese economy as a developing nation. The
prospects of economic enrichment are widespread. However, in absence of concrete
action plans and developmental set goals, the economic growth has been sluggish.
Considering the growth prospects and the forth coming investment favorable
policies, the financial sector is supposed to bring glorious development in the
economy. Financial institutions are playing the most significant role in the progress
of Nepalese economy. In this regard, the banking industry has become the face of
Nepalese economy.
Computerized the bank, hired efficient staffs and laid off the inefficient ones under
different schemes. There are mainly permanent, contract and daily wages staffs.
Specifically, the internee was able to professionalize himself with the following
learning:
Learnt how to use banking software system, i.e. PUMORI VERSION III.
Learnt to make good relation with co-workers, seniors, corporate clients and
general customers.
5.3 Recommendation
With reference to, the findings and the conclusion drawn out above following
recommendations can be sorted out:
Most of the customers are not satisfied by the time taken to provide service by
RBBL. Therefore taking this into consideration RBBL should focus more on
providing fast and satisfactory services to its customers.
RBBL has limited number of cash counter which causes the customers to wait
for a long period of time. Thus, RBBL needed to increase the number of cash
counter.
RBBL takes up to 20-25 days to issue the debit card of the customers which may
cause certain difficulties to the customer. Therefore, RBBL need to issue the as
soon as possible.
Interest rate in fixed and saving deposit is very low. Therefore, proper attention
should be given to increase rate on saving and fixed deposit account.
The technical team should be always in the organization, the stop of server or
malfunction of system create the hard time to customers.
RBBL has limited amount of staff which creates problems to carry out the daily
activity of the bank. Thus, more amount of the staffs should be added for the
betterment ok the service provided by the bank.
