 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

As a requirement of the B.B.A. program and which will lead to the culmination of the
course, I have chosen banking as my area of interest in which to undertake my internship. I
have chosen customer service department and clearing department of NMB Bank Limited
as a focus of my study.

Customer Service Department is the “face” of an org anization and customers are the kings
to the organization. Customers form an image or an impression of the bank through their
interactions with the personnel working in this department. Hence, customer service
department is an integral and critical part of a bank which helps to build a cordial
relationship with the customers.

During the period of internship, I got an opportunity to meet many respectable persons and
through them I gained lots of knowledge. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to
Mr. Upendra Poudyal, Mr. Anup Basnet, Mrs. Pranisha Shrestha, Mr. Shanju
Shrestha, and entire staff of NMB Bank Limited for their kind support and cooperation.

Finally, very special thanks go to my Advisor Mr. Anup Tamarakar who despite of his
busy schedule has provided me a lot of valuable suggestions and encouragement for the
preparation of this report. I would like to express my gratitude to my friends and sister for
their constant support and love.

 CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the study

A healthy financial system is essential for the healthy sustainable growth of the
country. It must be able to meet the increasingly sophisticated demands that are
placed on it. A well-developed financial system promotes investment by identifying
and financing lucrative business opportunities, mobilizing savings, efficiently
allocating resources, helping diversify risk and facilitating the exchange of goods
and services.
Commercial Banks play a vital role in the economic development of the country. In
Nepal, commercial banks are regarded as the backbone of the financial sector. They
perform various functions for uplifting the economic activities. Currently there are
thirty two commercial banks in the country and some of them have already and
some are in the process of finding the most compatibles partner for merger as per
the policy of the Merger Policy of NRB.
The main focus of this report is to let the reader know about the customer service at
the bank. Customer Service Department is the most important department of any
bank. It deals with various services offered by the bank. It responds to the quires of
the customers giving appropriate solution to their problems promptly. All the
information required by the customer is dispersed through the CSD. The
information could be related to the deposit schemes, loans schemes, consulting,
document requirements, etc. the CSD is the first place a customer approaches after
entering a bank.

1
1.2 Objectives
The main objective of this study is to study about the activities performed in
Customer Service Department.

1.3 Methodology
All the information has been gathered through a systematic procedure for the
preparation of report. Most of the information has been collected through the
brochures, websites of the bank, document and articles published in the newspaper

obtained through the official site and credible source so the deviation might not
occur. However, the major portion of facts included in the report has been obtained
through the personal experience of intern throughout the internship.

1.3.1 Organization selection

For the specialization in the field of marketing, I had certain options to choose
thatservice organization that offers the most of the information. So I chose NMB as

rd
I approached the bank and after few days I was called to join the bank from 23
May 2013.

1.3.2 Placement
For conducting the internship the internee was placed in Kantipath Branch. The

1.3.3 Duration of Internship
In order to attain the objectives of the BBA program, the university has placed it in
the final semester i.e. the 8th semester. At this point of time the students of BBA
program are completely ready for converting their theoretical knowledge with
some practical implications. As per the requirement by the Management Dean’s
Office, the internship program has a mandatory duration of 8 weeks. With its
duration and the needed exposure, the program has been designed to attain 6 credit
hours.
Accordingly, this internship program was successfully accomplished from

were different activities performed by the intern during this two months’ time
which will be dealt in detail in Chapter 4. There was no time limit working in any

 CHAPTER TWO
INTRODUCTION OF THE INDUSTRY

2.1 Introduction of Bank Industry

Banking sector definitely plays a pivotal role in the overall development of an
economy. Banks are one of the vital aspects of the economy, which deals in the
process of canalizing the available resources in he needed sectors. It is the
intermediary between deficit and surplus of financial resources. It is the financial
institution with an aim to accumulate the idle money of the general public and lend
those who are intending to use it for productive purpose. Bank offer attractive
product plans and schemes to attract the deposits and then mobilizes their deposits
in providing loan facility to the general public, business house, industries,
agriculture, and other needy sector by charging some interest rates. From this return
they provide return to depositors and make their profits. In this way, banks collect
idle fund, mobilize them into productive sector and hence supports the overall
development of the economy. Thus the bankers have responsibility of safeguarding
the interest of the depositors, the shareholders and the society they are serving.

According to NRB Act 2002, “Banking means accepting for the purpose of lending
or investment of deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand or
otherwise and withdraw by cheque draft order or otherwise”

According to World Bank, “Banks are financial institutions that accept fun d in the
form of deposits repayable on demand or in short notice.”

According toNepal Commercial Bank Act 2031, “A commercial bank is a bank,

which deals in exchanging currency, accepting deposits, advancing loans and

4
doing other commercial transactions except some specific function done by other
specified banks such as co-operative agricultural bank and industrial bank.”

Commercial banks are the integral part of the national financial system that
functions on continuous basis on society. The basic objective of commercial bank
is to collect idlemoney, mobilize them into productive sector and causing overall
economic development so that the national economy can grow and increase the
standard of living.

2.2 History of Bank

The term ‘bank’ was derived from the Latin root “Ba ncus” which refers to the
bench on which the money mediator would keep his money and his records. Again
the term ‘Bank’ is derived from the French word “”B anque” and the Italian word
“Banca” which mean a bench for keeping, lending and exchanging of money or
coins in the marketplace by money lenders and the money changers. It was also
derived from the German word “Bank” which means Joi nt Stock Company.

In Global Context:
Banking has come to the present advance form through the various stages.
Traditional forms of banking were traced during the civilization of Greek, Rome
and Mesopotamia. “Bank of Venice” was set up in 115 7AD in Venice. Originally,
it was not a bank in real sense being simply an office for the transfer of the public
debt and storing precious metals and coins. Subsequently, “Bank of Barcelona”
(1401) and “Bank of Geneva” (1407) were established . “Bank of England” (1694)
was incorporated as a joint stock bank and later on, it became the first Central Bank
of the world (1844). Then, people migrated to England and the other parts of
Europe from Italy for the development and expansion of the modern banking.
Commercial banking in India began in 1770AD with the establishment of the joint
stock bank, named the “Bank of Hindustan” bay an En glish Agency in Calcutta.

5
In Nepal:
At the early stage, zamindars were known as banks. The focus was more on lending
money against securities like land and ornaments, which could be redeemed if the
loan wad defaulted. The establishment of ‘Kausi Tosha Khana’ during the regime
of Great Prithivi Narayan Shah and ‘Tejarath Adda’, during the Prime Ministership
of Ranoddip Singh around 1820-1876AD, were taken as the initial step for the
development of institutional banking system.
The history of modern banking industry dates back to1937AD in which Nepal
Bank Limited was incorporated, the government owned 51 percent of the shares in
the bank and controlled its operation to a large extent. It is headquartered in
Kathmandu and had branches in other parts of the country as well. In order to
regulate the economy and the unregulated use of money Nepal Rastra Bank was
created in 1956 as the central bank. Its function was to supervise commercial banks
and to guide the basic monetary policy of the nation. Its major aims were to
regulate the issue of paper money, secure countrywide circulation of Nepalese
currency and achieve stability in its exchange rates; mobilize capital for economic
development and for trade and industry growth; develop the banking system in the
country; thereby ensuring the existence of banking facilities; and maintain the
economic interests of the general public. Nepal Rastra Bank also was to oversee
foreign exchange rates and foreign exchange reserves.

After almost 30 years another state owned commercial bank Rastriya Banijya Bank
was established in 1966. The Land Reform Savings Corporation was also
established in the same year to deal with finance related to land reforms. During
19867 AD the Agricultural Development Bank was also established. Almost 75
percent of the bank was state-owned; 21 percent was owned by the Nepal Rastra
Bank and 5 percent by cooperatives and private individuals. Hence it is clear that
since the 1960s, both commercial and specialized banks have expanded. More

6
businesses and households had better access to the credit market although the credit
market had not expanded.

Government formulated liberal economic policy to accelerate countries growth and

development. Government encouraged foreign investment and participation of
private sector in the banking sector. The government then applied the policy of
“Joint Venture Banking”. This was a great significa nt event. Healthy competition
prevailed and people were offered valuable services and national as a whole begun
to take benefit.

However, the decade of 1980s can be considered as the landmark in the modern
banking history of the Nepal. It was only in this decade government allowed the
excess to foreign joint venture banks to be the part of the Nepalese banking
business. During this period, three foreign commercial banks opened branches in
Nepal. The first was Nepal Arab Bank established in 19884 AD. It was co-owned
by the Emirates Bank International Limited (Dubai), the Nepalese government and
Nepalese public. After that in 1984 came Nepal Indosuez Bank (currently Nepal
Investment Bank Limited) which was jointly owned by the Credit Agricole
Indosuez, Rastriya Banijya Bank, Rastriya Beema Sansthan ( National Insurance
corporation), and the Nepalese public. Then Nepal Grindlays Bank was the third
foreign joint venture to be established in Nepal which was co-owned by a British
firm called Grindlays Bank, local financial interests and the Nepalese public.

Although government had started the liberalization of financial sector during the
decade of 80’s but this process speeded up only in early 1990’s. In fact private
sector rushed into the banking and financial industry after the restoration of
democracy in 1990. Nepalese financial market scenario at present is shown in the
chart below:

2.3 Commercial Banks in Nepal

Commercial banks are the one of the major financial intermediaries whose primary
function is the transfer lf monetary resources from the savers to the users. They are
the almost largest of all the financial intermediaries. They have the wide range of
activities. Commercial banks collect fund through depository schemes and lend as a
loan to the different parties. Commercial banks do wholesale as well as retail
banking to business corporations and individual entities.
In Nepal, there are 32 commercial banks at present (see in ANNEX 1). Commercial
banks now are not limited to deposit and loan services only but they also provide
variety of other services such as remittance, guarantee, letter of credit, foreign
exchange etc. Nowadays commercial banks have come up with different ideas to
improve its performance and to lower its operating cost by

8
adopting various technologies like automated teller machine (ATM), Internet
banking, telephone banking (tele-banking), point of sales (POS), mobile banking,
etc.

2.4. Importance of Commercial Banks

The major roles of banks are as follows:
1. Lending and Deposit
A bank’s role as an “intermediary” is clearest in t he credit and deposit business.
Clients “bring” to the bank their savings, i.e. the money they have chosen not to
spend. The bank transfers this money to its credit clients in the form of loans.
2. Payment mechanism
Banks, in behalf of their customers, carryout payments for goods and services. This
includes issuing and clearing cheques, conducting electronic payments through
plastic cards, payment of bills in customer request etc.
3. Securities issuing
In a securities issue, a bank or group of banks generally agrees to underwrite the
entire amount of the issue. The securities acquired in this way are then offered for
public subscription for the account and at the risk of the bank or banks involved.
The risk that not all the securities will be placed with the clients is carried by the
bank. The issuer, for its part, has immediately available to it the entire proceeds
from the transaction, regardless of how successful the offering has been. For a bank
to be successful with an offering, it has to be able to gauge market conditions
correctly at the time of the issue.
4. Asset management
Asset management covers a range of banking activities: portfolio management,
investment advisory, securities trading and lending business (collateral loans,
securities lending and borrowing). With a discretionary portfolio management
agreement, clients authorize a bank to undertake, for their account and at their risk,

9
all the actions it deems appropriate within the framework of the normal asset
management activities of a bank. Clients expect their assets to be managed
professionally and it their best interests.
5. Foreign exchange trading
Foreign exchange is the system or process of converting one national currency into
another and of transferring the ownership of money from one country to another
country. Due to the massive amounts traded in the foreign exchange markets,
various foreign exchange trading is flourishing within banks with the aim to exploit
even the slightest differences between exchange rates (arbitrage).
6. Safeguarding of valuables
Banks also take care of valuables of the customers. It also apprises and certifies the
true market value of their valuables.

 CHAPTER FOUR
ANALYSIS OF ACTIVITY DONE AND PROBLEM
SOLVED

During internship period, internee worked in specially two different departments.

Inside the block of the bank, internee got chance to work in customer service
department. An internee was given a brief overview about the work of the
particular department and allowed to do general works related to the departments.
However, internee learned by asking questions to the staff of departments and also
by observing their daily works.

The different types of activities performed in different department are:

4.1 Customer Service Department

Customer service department is the most crucial link between a bank and the
customer how this department handles the customer makes all the difference
whether or not the customer wants today business with the bank. In today’s highly
competitive business environment, customer should be treated with the utmost
respect, dedication and nothing less.
It is generally the reception desk that a client first approaches and it is the duty of
this department to help the customer with sincerity. A good delivery of service at
this point often establishes a good link of the bank with the client.

4.1.1 Activities Performed in Customer Service Department

Different activities that the internee had carried out during the placement in CSD
are as follows:
Account Opening
In CSD, the new customers visitmainly to open an account. And the intern himself
had opened around 5 accounts in the system software (Pumori). It is the most

27
frequent activity done in this department. Customers entitled toopen various
accounts are supplied with contract papernamed account opening form by the
banks. This form serves both the purposes of details of customers and contract
between customer and the bank. While opening a new account presence of an
account holder is necessary.
Process of opening an account:

Provide the details of account and upon customers request provide new
account opening form to the customer who is willing to open an account in
the bank.
After the form has been filled up, verify whether the form has been duly
filled up or not.
After the form has been verified staff at CSD assigns an account number to
the account holder.
Then, the form is approved by the supervisor.
Finally, the client deposits money in his account and becomes the member
of the bank.

1. Individual Account:
Obtain citizenship or passport
Obtain photos of customers
In case of minority of account holder copy of birth certificate and citizenship
of the parent.
2. Proprietorship Account:

Certificate of registration and renewal.
Account Closing
It is another important but task done under account operation. People close their
accounts because of many reasonsbut their major reason forclosingof account was
the inefficiency and the late service of the bank and the increased number of
competitors in the area.
Process to close an account is given below:

29
 Customer willing to close the account must fill up the form specifying the
reason.
After submission of the form to CSD it is confirmed form the various
departments that the customer is not enjoying any sort of facility from the
bank at present.
The client I then asked to return all his account related belongings like ATM
card and check box.
Then finally, the account of applicant is closed with certain charge.

Printing and Providing Cheque Books

For a new customer, cheque book is provided on the next day of opening an
account. However for the existing customers, cheque requisition from needs to be
filled up. The cheque books are prepared demanding upon the demander number of
leaves in the cheque book. While providing the cheque book, the customer
signature should beverified properly and necessary records need to be maintained.
Distribution of debit cards
The ATM cards become ready to collect after 10-15 days of account opening. Debit
cards were distributed only after the verification of the customer signatures. The
customers were given the debit card along with the pin number. However, the cards
get activated only on the next day. The records of collected debit cards were
manually entered in register with customer signature.
Interaction with customers
The internee has to deal with various natures of customers on CSD. The internee
has to answer the question raised by the customers regarding the various areas such
as interest rate of various schemes, requirements for account opening, information
about different products of bank, etc.

30
4.2 Clearing Department
Customers deposit cheques, drafts in their accounts, which are drawn on various
banks and bank servestheir customers by helping them collect the fund in their
account through clearing function. The department is responsible for the clearing of
all checks that the bank receives daily.

4.2.1 Activities Performed in Clearing Department

Different activities that the internee had carried out during the placement in
clearing are as follows:
Manual clearing:
It is the process whereby the personnel from clearing department should present in
Nepal Rastra Bank for the clearance of cheques at 11:45 a.m. They come there with
the summary sheet prepared and claim on the desk of clearance. The summary
sheet shows the claim on different banks. The cheques are attached on other bank
cheque sheet (OBC-Sheet). The cheques attached on OBC sheet are distributed to
the respective banks/FIs. The activities assigned to the internee as follows:

Collecting cheques and attaching on OBC sheet:

The cheques are collected from different branches of a bank. After making
confirmation of entries the OBC sheet is printed. The cheques are attached
by matching the cheques amount, cheque number and name of the bank with
the OBC sheet.
Preparation of Summary Sheet:
It is a process where every representative member should prepare the
summarized statement report of total presenting cheques (Summary Sheet)
as per the format thus provided from Nepal Clearing House Limited. In the
summary Sheet there includes name of the bank, no of cheques to be
presented, and the calculated amount of all the cheques.

31
 Checking Different Stamps:
The cheques presented to other banks most contain different stamps like
endorsement, bank’s stamp, cross stamp.
Collecting Cheques from NRB:
The prepared summary sheet is presented the desk of clearance and the
cheques attached on OBC sheet are distributed to the respective banks/
financial institutions. The other banks also drop the respective cheques on
the desk of NMB. The collected cheques are divided as home cheques and
refund cheques.
Entry of Refund Cheques:
The refund cheques are entered in middle ware and matching with the
settlement of clearing transaction provided by clearing house and if any
deviation occurs that must be informed to the respective banks in the form of
fewer claims or over claim.

4.3 Problem Solved

Although NMB is able to meet the changing needs of the customers, some
problems have been analyzed and possible measures have been taken to minimize
the problems and solved them while working in CSD. Following are some of the
problems faced while working during the internship:
1. Communication problem
2. Grievances handling
3. Unsystematic handling
4. Hesitation of customers
5. Work load problem
The above listed problems have been analyzed during the internship program. So to
handle these problems, following steps have been taken for each problem:

32
1. Communication problem
Most of the customers still have minimum education qualification; they
don’t have proper knowledge regarding the terminologies used in different
forms, vouchers, etc. as they are printed in English language.
To solve this problem, as an intern, they were made clearly understood
about the terminologies used by translating in simple and understandable
language, which could help them in filling up the form correctly and in a
short period of time.
2. Grievances handling
It is the most important problem among the problems. By grievance we
mean a cause for complaints. If it is handled properly, it directly affects the
bank’s image; as a result customers are dissatisfied. Grievances are the
problem associated with bank faced by customers during the transaction
period with the bank.
To solve this problem, CSD can play the important role, as this department
is in direct interaction with the customers. If the problem is critical, it should
be forward to the top level management for solution.
3. Unsystematic handling
Unsystematic management leads to failure. Unsystematic handling of things
is also a problem. Though the problem isn’t so big, if not handled properly
and timely managed, it directly affects the efficiency of banking activities.

To manage this problem, things should be managed in a systematic way, so

that they are readily available whenever required. Specially, intern has
managed the unsystematic record keeping of cheque books lists, ATM lists
and also has managed the issues related to interior designs (related to
interior physical evidences.)

33
 4. Hesitation of customers
It is one of the problems faced by most of the banks. It is difficult to identify
since it is related with psychological aspects of the customers. Some
customers hesitate to convey their problems to the related staff. The bank
cannot read the mind of each customer who visits the bank.
To solve this problem, initiation can be taken to ask customers regarding
their problems frequently and create a friendly environment.
5. Work load problem
It is another problem faced by the banks. At the time of opening and closing
work load is high. So, sometimes it is difficult to provide immediate services
to the customer which leads to customer dissatisfaction.
To solve this problem, increasing the number of working hands can be
beneficial. At the same time, if customers are provided with various
facilities like e-banking, SMS banking, this problem can be minimized to
some extent.

4.4 Observed Gap

The student were selected as internee in different bank so that they can present
themselves as skillful person on related field on which they have been appointed.
The bank gives the environment for internee to fulfill certain responsibilities.
Regarding this internee can show their capability and intelligence. While working
in the bank internee observe and evaluate the theoretical knowledge he has gained
from course books and what actually happened in the real scenario of bank.
Theoretical knowledge helps a lot in understanding the actual working
environment, but not exactly cent percent. The novel type of problem/situation
generates the novel type of solution that the internee might not have studied in
classroom. While working in the NMB Bank an internee has felt/observed
following gaps:

34
 The intern was only allowed for clerical tasks but not for managerial task
though BBA aims to develop Middle Level Managers. 

 In the theoretical knowledge it was studied that the banks follow each and
every regulations 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. 

 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. 

 The internee observed that different type of theoretical knowledge can’t be
applied solely rather they are applied in combination in real world. The
good example of it is use of more than one motivational theory, while
motivating the employees of the company. 

 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. 

 Higher importance is given to customer satisfaction but there is no any
culture of taking customer advice and learning from it. 

35
