Internship Report 1
Internship Report 1
1.1 Background
An internship is an agreement between the intern and a company for a fixed period of
time, which is a structured work experience, related to a student's major and career
goal that allows student to work as an assistant or a trainee to enhance a student's
academic, career, and personal development. Internships are usually part-time if
offered during a university semester and full-time if offered during the vacation
periods. An internship can be either paid or voluntary.
Commercial banks are big business houses that carry out a large number of
operations. Thus, commercial banks have the largest scope of study. At a time when
hundreds of finance students are required to work as interns, commercial banks
provide the largest number of placement under different branches and departments.
Few of the banks even have the provisions for interns with pre-defined schedule
allocated for rotation around most of the department during the period of internship.
This approach focuses on the generalization concept where the interns obtain a
general overview about each of the department they get a chance to be in. Unlike
other banks, Nabil Bank Ltd. focuses on specialization rather than generalization of
the interns. For this reason, an intern is mostly placed only in one particular
department throughout the internship period. Even though the intern is not job-
holders, they are given the opportunity to work as if they are the assigned personnel
in that post.
1.4.3 Placement
During the internship period of eight weeks in NBL, intern was given
opportunity to understand and to experience functioning of various
departments. Intern was placed to conduct internship at the Teendhara branch
office of NBL. Intern was assigned in Customer Service Department. Intern
also got chance to support management in many other petty activities like data
entry, documentation and many more.
Since, the bank gave the limited access, intern was not given to operate the
system. So, mostly intern got the time to do clerical works like issuing
checkbooks, sorting files and checking debit cards. However intern got an
opportunity to learn many things by interacting with the customers and staffs
too. The following were the works
performed in Nabil Bank during internship:-
1. Filling of account opening form, cheque books, and other necessary

The modern banking system that we have today is the result of various
evolutionary activities in banking sector in the past. With the development of
money, gradually the concept of banking also started in order to solve the
complexities the evolution of money had created in human life. The word
“bank” was derived from the Italian word “Banco”, Latin word “Bancus” and
French word “Banque”. All of these words meant the bench in which the
bankers would keep money and its records during the Renaissance. The early
bankers are the Lombard who were originally from the plains of Lombardy of
Northern Italy. They introduced banking practice in England. These Lombard
were eventually bankrupted because they lent money to kings who did not
repay them.
The modern banking system has been originated in Italy. The first bank called
the ‘Bank of Venice’ was established in Venice Italy in 1157 AD. It was
originally established to finance the monarch in his wars. The ‘Bank of
Barcelona’ and the ‘Bank of Genoa’ were established in 1401 and 1407 AD
respectively. Another important bank the ‘bank of England’ was established in
in1694 AD and it was a great development in the banking sector. The modern
commercial banks were developed after the enacting of ‘Banking Act’ in 1833
AD which provided the freedom to establish a joint stock bank. After the
establishments of joint stock banks in 19 th century in leading countries of the
world, banking system got fully developed.
Primary functions:
❖ Collect deposits various types of Accounts
❖ Provide credit in the form of various loans like overdraft, consumer’s loan,
❖ Co-financing to industry, commerce, agriculture, export and service.
❖ Remit funds
Subsidiary Functions:
❖ Invest in government securities, Treasury bills etc.
❖ Deal in foreign exchange
❖ Provide agency function such as collection of cheques, bills, promissory notes etc.
❖ Purchase or sale of securities. (Merchant banking)
❖ Supply trade information and statistical data.

This exiting level of non-performing assets (NPA) is not that much healthy sigh for
the smooth growth of banking sector in Nepal. One should seriously need to re-think
proper strategy for managing NPA. The predominance of rural economy urges bank
and financial institutions of Nepal to penetrate, remittance etc. so as to support
poverty alleviation program. Expansion of medium and small size enterprises in rural
sector could lure to banking sector to invest on it too. Managing inflow of remittances
would yield fruitful outcome foe Nepal. Public private partnership concept will be
equally desirable foe poverty alleviation, growth and expansion of banking service
especially in the rural economy.
life, which is different than rest of other world. Even now they are in
Even the urban people in need of the financial support had to rely on Shahus
and landlords because of the limited activities of Tejarath Adda (Maskay &
Subedi, 2009).
The history of modern banking in Nepal dates back to the year 1937 with the
establishment of Nepal Bank Limited as the first commercial bank of Nepal.
The total deposits of Nepal Bank Limited for the first year was NRs.
17,02,025 where current deposits was about NRs. 12,98,898 fixed was about
NRs. 3,88,964 and saving was NRs. 14,163. Loan disbursed and outstanding
at the end of the first year was NRs. 1,985,000. From the very conception and
its creation, Nepal Bank Ltd, was as joint venture between the government and
the private sector. Out of 2500 equity shares of NRs. 100 face value, 40% was
subscribed by the government and the balanced i.e. 60% was offered for the
sale to private sector. There were only 10 shareholders when the bank first
started (Nepal Bank Limited, 2017). The first bank notes were issued in the
year 1945 by the treasury "Sadar Muluki Khana" and there notes were signed
by " Khanjanchi" the head treasury who also was high hindu priest. In the year
1955 Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) act was formulated for the better regulation of
financial institution and in 1956 NRB was established under the NRB act 1955
as "central bank of Nepal" with an objective of supervising, protecting and
directing the functions of commercial banking activities.. After the
establishment of NRB the bank notes are issued by central bank with the
signature of governor of institution (Khalti.com).
The bank was the outcome of joint venture with Dubai Bank Limited of
United Arab Emirates. The footstep of this bank was followed by Nepal
Indosuez Bank a joint venture bank with a Bank of Paris in 1986 and later
other joint venture banks are established in Nepal. These commercial banks
have played a very significant role in creating banking habit among the
people, widening area, and business communities and the government in
various ways. In recent year Nepal Rastra Bank had opted merger, acquisition
policy and financial institutions have merged and become one from two, and
even one from three and many of financial institutions are in pipeline of
merging. Although, banks and financial institutions occupies more than 60%
in Nepalese economy but the development of banking sector in Nepal is not
said as satisfactory because these financial sector have target cities and
populated areas only and not in rural areas. This is how modern banking
system is running in Nepal (Sahayogee, 2015).
2.5 Functions
The function of a Bank is to collect deposits from the public and lend those deposits
for the development of Agriculture, Industry, Trade and Commerce. Bank pays
interest at lower rates to the depositors and receives interests on loans and advances
from them at higher rates. The functions of commercial banks are classified into two
main divisions.
- Accepts deposit: lances collected from the firm and individuals are lent to the
temporary requirements of the commercial transactions.
- Provides loan and advances: Another critical function of this bank is to offer loans
and advances to the entrepreneurs and business people, and collect interest. For every
bank, it is the primary source of making profits. In this process, a bank retains a small
number of deposits as a reserve and offers (lends) the remaining amount to the
borrowers in demand loans, overdraft, cash credit, short-run loans, and more such
banks.
- Credit cash: When a customer is provided with credit or loan, they are not provided
with liquid cash. First, a bank account is opened for the customer and then the money
is transferred to the account. This process allows the bank to create money.
- Purchasing and selling of the securities: The bank offers you with the facility of
selling and buying the securities.
- Locker facilities: A bank provides locker facilities to the customers to keep their
valuables or documents safely. The banks charge a minimum of an annual fee for this
service.
- Paying and gathering the credit: It uses different instruments like a promissory
note, cheques, and bill of exchange.
2.6 Objectives
A bank is a financial institution that is involved in borrowing and lending money.
Banks take customer deposits in return for paying customers an annual interest
payment. The bank then uses the majority of these deposits to lend to other customers
for a variety of loans. The difference between the two interest rates is effectively the
profit margin for banks. Banks play an important role in the economy for offering a
service for people wishing to save. Banks also play an important role in offering
finance to businesses that wish to invest and expand. These loans and business
investment are important for enabling economic growth. They also offer a wide
variety of services to individual and business customers, and to collect payments
including fees, charges and interest on the products and services provided to
customers for the purpose of generating profits for shareholders.

CHAPTER IV
The loyal customer always uses the product and services of the bank regularly
without
thinking of other alternatives. So, Loyal and regular customer is the main
source of a successful bank. If the customer experiences organization as one
where they were never surprised and never felt deceived, the organization will
create a competitive edge in a world where there is precious little confidence
in the customer service process. It is very important to know that a highly
satisfied customer stays loyal longer, buys more as the organization introduces
new product, pays less attention to competing brands and is less sensitive to
price. Having a significant number of this kind of customers is only possible
through the efficient functioning of customer service department of any
organization. It would then not be inappropriate to say that
this department is the key to success of any organization. CSD of NBL always
maintains good relationship with the customer and makes them loyal to the
organization. It performs various day-to-day operations. The basic task of
CSD are account opening, account closing/transfer, cheque issuing, bank
statement issue, balance certificate issue, provide information about bank
product and services, and many more.

CHAPTER V
5.1 Summary
Internship is always a great opportunity for the students to get the field
experience and bridge the gap between the theoretical and practical
knowledge. It was a great exposure to work as an internee at Nabil Bank
Limited, which brought the practical knowledge that internee, lacked and
gained some experience on banking activities. During the internship period,
there was substantially large inflow of the customers in the bank for using
various product and services of NBL. Through which internee got chance of
promoting product and services to customers. This experience was very new to
the intern but enjoyed it greatly. All the knowledge, experience and skills
gained will be extremely beneficial to internee’s future career in the banking
sector.
-Thirdly, organization that had appointed interns has been prefaced in Chapter
III. The abstract insertion of NBL alone with capital as well as organizational
structure, management team and product and services.
-Chapter IV comprises the keen aspects of study i.e. the activities performed
by internee in bank. Internee has carried well in various function of ECC.
Here, internee tends to illustrate the problem faced and problem one had
solved.
-Finally, Chapter V it ends with the summary, conclusion and feedback from
internee to the Organization as well as College/University.
5.2 Conclusion
An internship is first step of learning experience at work environment after the
studying of theoretical knowledge at BBA. During the period of internship, it
was different experience and exposure to work in a real scenario. This
internship period helped the intern to know how an organization can be
different from each other. It helped the intern to apply the year’s long
theoretical lessons into practical area. This report has been prepared as the
partial fulfillment of eighth semester of BBA under TU. Nabil Bank Limited
proved to be a strong support for building up professional career. Further, in
past 8 weeks, the intern learned to work under pressure and broadened its
knowledge, vision, ability and confidence to perform in real working
environment.
5.4 Feedback
It is another important task done under account operation. It is very rare that
you encounter an account-closing request at the customer desk at ADBL.
People close their accounts because of many reasons. The Procedures to close
an account are given
below:
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
account closing form along with KYC specifying the reason.
Step3: Signature is verified and the client is then asked to return all his
account related belongings like ATM cards and the cheque book. These are
received by the teller and are cancelled or destroyed.
By working as an intern at Nabil Bank Ltd (NBL) and observing its working
environment and procedures some areas of improvement has been identified.
Therefore, the following measures are recommended to the bank for
enhancing its performance:
- Customer satisfaction is the most important thing in any organization. But it
was seen that some of the customers of the bank were not satisfied by the time
taken to render service. Thus taking this into consideration NBL should focus
more on providing quick and satisfactory services to the customers.
- NBL should increase the number of ATM machines both within and outside
the valley so as to attract more customers towards the bank.
- Adopting efficient marketing strategies to encourage more of the customers
will help NBL to successfully compete with other banks.
- NBL focuses on hiring outsource rather then employees so there is class
differentiation between permanent employees and outsource.
- College should make proper inspection of intern students in proper time and
in regular manner during the tenure of internship.
- College should send the supervision to the organization before, after and
during the internship program.
- During the internship program of the students, the college should visit the
respective organizations so as to know the performance of the intern.
- Due to oversupply of the students, it is very difficult to find the organization
to do internship. So college also searches some institution for internship.
- College should be in touch with the organization where students did their
internship so that the college can get timely feedback about the intern.
- College should also focus to the problem faced by intern student while
doing internship
