CHAPTER#-1 INTRODUCTION OF STUDY


1.1: BACKGROUND OF STUDY National Bank of Pakistan is one of the leading and first government recognized bank in Pakistan. NBP was established in November 9th, 1949, which started functioning from November 20th, 1949. The reason for development was that the NBP in addition to being a commercial bank in the public sector at a time when all other commercial banks were in private sector, also came to acquire certain characteristics which to this day set it part from other nationalized commercial banks of the country. The most important of these characteristics is that NBP acts as an agent of the central bank of the country. The NBP also acts as a trustee to the national investment trust (NIT); one of the premier financial institutions of the country charged the responsibility of mobilizing small saving. The establishment of NBP thus signaled the achievement of another milestone in the development of the banking industry in Pakistan.

11

1.2: PURPOSE OF STUDY National Bank of Pakistan is one of the oldest and well-established bank in the public sector. So I prefer NBP in order to set knowledge of this organization (NBP) for the students of master of Business Administration, especially for the IT students it is very important to know the all the financial activity. In finance department I know, in which method the branch issued the advances and what markup. In National Bank of Pakistan Takhte Nasrati that give short term finance especially for the govt. employees, and the chance of default is very low because they have also a bank account, and their salary come in that branch. The weakness of the finance section is that the process are very slow, and the requirement for issuing the advances, for the govt. employees is very tough. And there is no even single case of default. 1.3: SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of my work is based on the complete observation of national bank, but due to shortage of time, I worked in special department of the branch, first of all deposit department. In deposit department, deposits are divided in to two or three types. i) current deposits

12

ii) iii)

PLS deposits (PLS saving A/C, PLS term deposit.) Fixed Deposits. In the above three types of deposits, I learn the entire necessary

requirements and also know the interest rate. Secondly advance department is the most important department of the bank. It deals long-term advance and Short-term advance and also consists of finance i.e. short-term finance and long term finance. Thirdly I also worked in remittance department. It consists of issuing DDS, MITS, telegraphic transfers SE (short credit). LAC (local short credit) clearing. I also worked in account department and check issuing and computer department.

1.4: METHODOLOGY OF STUDY/RESEARCH


During my internship in National Bank of Pakistan NBP Takhte Nasrati the most important task was to collect more quality information about the organization as much as possible that is why I used a number of techniques to collect the required material and conduct the report. The methodology, which I adopted for this research is based on both the primary data as well as secondary data regarding the overall operation of NBP.

Primary Data: -

The primary data consist of interviews with manager,

discussions coordination with the executive and officers, and other staffs personal observation and different types of written material from Bank.

13

Secondary data: -

The sources of secondary data were annual report

2001, manuals, circulars, relevant books, brochures and monthly economic reports. I have also got support from available banking material & books, as well as information from human resource management and research methodology material.

HISTORY OF NATIONAL BANK OF PAKISTAN Evaluation of Banking


The word banking is derived from the words Bancus, Banque or Back. The history of Banking is traced to as early as 2000BC. The origin of banking is also traced to early goldsmith. The first stage in the development of modern banking thus was the accepting of deposits of cash from these persons who had surplus money with themselves. In the second step, goldsmiths used issue receipts for the money deposits with them. These receipts began to pass from hand to hand in settlement of transaction. In the same time they thought it profitable to lend at least some of the money deposited with them to the needy persons. This proved quite a profitable business for the gold smiths. In order to create confidence among the people, different steps were taken to regulate the banking organization. A conference was held in Nuremberg, 1584. It was decided that a bank should be set up by the state, which should streamline the banking organization and technique. The first central bank was formed in Genoa in 1587. Banks of England were established in 1694. Wit the passage of time the activities of the commercial banks have greatly increased. They now deal with large number of matters such as obtaining funds, advancing loans to businesses, farmers, house holds, and making investment in stocks discount bills of exchange etc.

MODERN BANKING
By the year 1700 the bank of England was not only 100 issuing notes but also conducting accounts for customers. In 1853 bank of England further impetus for cheques, currency, and they became very popular among the customers who would either pass them from hand to hand. In 1946 the labor government nationalized the Bank of England.

15

DEFINITION OF BANKS.
Banking companies ordinance 1962 section 5(b) defines bank as, Banking means the accepting for the purpose of lending or investment, of deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand or otherwise, an drawable by cheques, drafts order or otherwise.

FORMATION AND GROWTH OF NATIONAL BANK OF PAKISTAN


The History starts from the partition of Indo-Pak subcontinent in August 1947. At that time, the area constituting Pakistan had 631 offices of 45 schedule banks out of which 487 were located in West Pakistan and 144 in East Pakistan, which was also served by 500 offices of small and non-scheduled banks. There were 19 branches of foreign banks in Pakistan but they had a very little role to play. Just after the partition the Indian bankers started migrating and shifting all the head offices of their banks and capital to India. This way great set back to the banking field in Pakistan, and resulted in a decline in the number of offices of scheduled banks from 631 to 195 by June 1948. In West Pakistan the number fell from 487 to 81, in East Pakistan from 144 to 114. Among Habib Bank limited with 25 offices and Australian Bank Limited with 19 offices were institutions run by Muslims who shifted their head offices to Pakistan. The technical and administrative difficulties of establishing a central bank just after independence compelled Pakistan to enter into an agreement with reserve Bank of India by which the bank was to perform function of central bank in this area upto 30th September 1948. The reserve bank of India started following polices against interest of Pakistan. The situation become so grave that after the consolation of two governments, the Reserve Bank of India way asked to finish the agreement from 30 th June 1948 instead of 30th September 1948. The Government of Pakistan decided to establish the State Bank of Pakistan as its Central Bank from 1st July 1948. In the same year the first Pakistani notes comes in the domination.
2.1:

INCORPORATION

On 9 November 1949, the government of Pakistan issued an order, which brought into being the first public sector bank in Pakistan named as National Bank of Pakistan. According to the order, the Bank started functioning on November 20, 1949. All other earlier and subsequent commercial banks were incorporated under companies law but in the case of NBP; this practice was set aside, which gave NBP a sole identity than other banks. Need for this step was felt necessary because of the financial crises in September
16

1949, when Government interest was not secure due to absence of public sector bank. Thats why from the very beginning the board of directors of the bank, the Government duly presented the law. The new bank received a liberal advance from the State Bank of Pakistan, which help it to extend finances for Jute and Cotton trade in the beginning. National Bank of Pakistan was not only the first commercial bank of public sector but it also attained some special features over other banks like it acts as an agent of the State Bank of Pakistan where SBP does maintain its own branches. In those places it provides all facilities of clearing house and other related, to commercial banks in that area. In addition it is also an agent to the government and custodian of government treasury and government transactions. It also acts as a trusty to the National Investment Trust, a premier financial institution charged with the responsibility of mobilizing small saving in the country. In this way the establishment of State Bank of Pakistan was another milestone development of banking industry in Pakistan.

2.1 : HISTORY OF NATIONAL BANK OF PAKISTAN 2.1.1 : The Expansion (1949-1960)


National bank of Pakistan came into being, and filled a vast vacuum, left in banking as a consequence of the emergence of the independent state of Pakistan. Thus it was continued to be the largest commercial bank in the country due to its monopoly over government funds and its role as banker to the government and as an agent of the State Bank of Pakistan. This was a period of steady expansion with the growth of government funds and business.

: The Decline (1961-1972)


Privatization increased in terms of size and sophistication, as a result major private bank i.e. Habib Bank Limited (HBP) overtook National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) to become the large bank. HBL was also ahead in the deposit size. During this period, NBP expands very cautiously, from the competitive fray after the creation (1958) of the highly aggressive Habib Bank Limited (HBP) and United Bank Limited (UBP), lost continuously not only in the base of assets and size of deposits but also in profitability.

2.2.3: Commercialization (1973- 1981)


Nationalization of commercial banks occurred in the country, and the monopoly of NBP over government businesses and funds began to be eroded. As a consequence, NBP came under pressure to commercialize. This period saw the introduction of new commercial response. Mainly due to very rapid expansion, the system of internal control failed to keep pace with the requirement of a fast expanding system. The market share in the overall deposits of nationalized banks declined from 25 percent during this period. At the same time, the return on asses and on the deposits declined from Rs.0.63 percent to 0.32 percent while profits grew sluggishly from Rs.95 millions to Rs.110 millions till 1981.

17

2.2.4: AGGRESSIVE STYLE OF BUSINESS (1982-90)


Beginning from 1982-1983 period, a basis was laid for an aggressive competitive and market-orient response. It was during this period that the domestic network began to show increasingly profits. The share of NBP in the bank deposit of nationalized banks grew from 25.4 percent in 1983 to 27.7 percent in 1988. The share in the advances increased from 20.7 percent to 26.9 percent during the same period. It was during this strategic phase that NBP achieved as relatively firm position as number two in relation to Habib Bank Ltd. And left United Bank Ltd. Behind profit before tax grew from Rs.149 million in 1988, thus registering an increase of 111 percent in the seven years period comparing with only 4 percent increase in the profits during the previous seven years period.

2.2.5: MODERNIZATION (1990-1996)


The National Bank of Pakistan posed itself for a strong bank through into its next strategic phase that can be termed as the strategic phase. The main thrust of this phase was the re-organization of the bank to meet the challenges of the 21 st century and to build a sound basis for the organizational excellence through modern techniques and methods of bank management from bottom upward starting from the branch to the top.

A beautiful achievement in orientation and commercial bank basis existed in the field and Head Offices as a result success in the 1985-88 period and the revolutionary success in 1995-1996. The executive and office cadres are also conscious of the organizational business aim and are expected to respond vigorously to Excellent Through Modernization strategy. The change in the attitude of the top bosses of the NBP could be easily seen by the revolutionary reforms introduced in the organization for example, Culture Change Program and Credit Card. These two reforms portrayed that the bosses of the NBP were well aware of the market changes.

2.2.6: THE DENATIONALIZATION AND COST MINIMIZATION ERA (1996 ONWARDS)


Like all businesses in Pakistan, National Bank of Pakistan was also put under a great pressure in this period when the biggest bank of the country was faced with losses. Government of Pakistan also made some reform in this time. The Pakistan banking Council was demolishes and all banks were put under Independent boards of governors. Default of loans is the big issue since that time. In 1996-97 the government of Pakistan pressurized all the institutions of the country to down-size their staff so as to Cut-down the expenses. This was the demand of I.M.F. As a result, a Golden Handshake Scheme was offered to the employees of the bank under which over 7500 employees

18

were removed. This decision created a lot of cost that was then amortized. In the second phase of the cost reduction program, the number of branches was reduced by a figure of 100, which included all the branches that were making loses. The decision of May 28,1998 blasts followed by a political decision of freezing of foreign currency accounts also created a hard time of NBP. But still NBP performed well in such difficult conditions and succeeded in the increase of deposits and also collects a reasonable amount of money from the defaulters. The situation became more worst by the

economic crises of East Asian countries but again National Bank of Pakistan performed well in that area and maintained its credibility in these areas. National Bank of Pakistan, as per its tradition, forwarded for revival of fifty six units with Rs. 3.5 billion in 1998 and also participated in the self employment scheme with Rs.1.9 billion. National Bank of Pakistan also introduced ATM card system and it also became a member of SWIFT in New York. It has also prepared a plane for electronic banking and E-commerce. By seeing all these improvements we can say that the officials and directors of the bank are well aware of all the necessity of modernization.

2.2: ORAGNIZATION OBJECTIVES 2.6.1 : Mission Statement:


To be recognized in the market place by institutionalizing a merit and performance culture, creating a powerful and distinctive brand, identity, achieving top-tier financial performance, and adopting and living out our core values.

2.6.2 : The Objectives:


All the objectives of the National Bank of Pakistan were compatible to the mission statement of the bank. As a business organization, its main objective was profit maximization, the only yard of performance. NBP tries to maximize its profits by its two basic functions i.e. deposits and finances.

2.6.3 : To Increase Deposits:


Due to the tough competition faced in every field, banking has no competition from this category. Whether the bank is Pakistani, Foreign, and private or nationalized, competition is there. In the competition NBP has the goal to achieve the greatest possible amounts of deposits. The tool used by the bank in order to increase its deposits was to provide the best of facilities to their customers. By the increase in profits of bank mean that bank becomes capable of lending more loans to the clients and hence earning profit from them. In simple terms, holding greater deposits results in greater income of the bank, and the profit maximization occurs and that is achievement of the banks objectives.in this regard, the banks favorite account was PLS saving account because in the main city branch Hangu there were small savings with the general public. Current account was also popular in the bank because the bank does not have to pay any interest to the customers

19

and hence banks can save some money, although some facilities are provided to the customers.

2.6.4 : Extension of Loans:


The profitability of the bank depends upon the amount of loan sanctioned or given to the people. The credits afforded by the bank depends greatly on one factor and that is the credit along with the interest payable should be secure, and that in turn depends upon the type of people, the bank is sanctioning loans. Banking history is full of incidences where people were offered huge loans and they wrote off their loans by means of political influence. It was very important issue for NBP to secure its loans and the interest as well. Therefore NBP was very selective in sanctioning loans to the people in those days. NBP preferred loans to bigger and reliable parties, after securing the collateral. NBP also provides loans to small businesses but mostly the loans were provided to the industrial sector of Sindh and Punjab. The loans provided by the NBP constitute the major portion of the profit of the bank. The markup charged by the bank varies with the type of loan issued to the customer, the terms and the conditions of the loans were also negotiable depending upon the relationship between the customer and the bank. NBP has an extremely well organized credit section. The staff is trained and educated and competent. They carry out complete financial analysis and different ratios are also calculated. The bank specially emphasized a sound quick ratio that shows the current cashable assets and could be relied upon to provide the cover for the loan.

2.7

: THE INSTITUTIONAL APPROACH

THE UNIQUE ROLE OF NBP IN Pakistans financial sectors confers on the institution a dual responsibility to be a commercial bank in its own right and at the same time, as a trustee of public finances, to act as a custodian of the public interest. The continuing validity of this role means that the kind of responsibility borne by National Bank of Pakistan is unlike any other financial institution. As the only institution of its kind, it performance an operational direction a need to be reflected in an ethos of productivity, efficiency, flexibility and quality of services both to the individual customer and the nation at large. New initiatives and new efforts have been undertaken so as to: 1) Restore institutional effectiveness with priority to customer care. 2) Improve decisions making at all level relating rewards with performance. 3) Upgrade the quality of resources available to the bank.Improve deployment of resources. 4) Diversity in to new areas of activities. 5) Build on existing strength.

20

2.8

: CORPORATE CULTURE

National Bank of Pakistan, after its pure commercialization, focussed its eyes on the corporate sector and initiate an ambitious and farsighted Corporate Culture Change Program in collaboration with price Water House (U.K) and AF FERGUSON & Company in 1995. It commenced with an Executive Envisioning workshop in Bhurban. This two days workshop developed a comprehensive Mission Statement, vision of the banks future, it sets out in clear and realistic terms, the key objectives and goals of NBP based on the perceived strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats being faced by the institution. In this perspective, NBP has defined for itself a course where it will endeavor to maximize its impact commensurate with the size and scale of operations. In order to change the banks posture from reactive, four major area had been highlighted for concerted of actions. 1) Personal Human Resource Management plan 2) Operations and Strategic management Plan 3) Technology Information Technologies Acquisition Plan 4) Marketing.

2.9

: THE CHANGE PROGRAMME

2.9.1 : The Symbol Of Change


The Logo of national Bank of Pakistan is the symbol of change. This logo has led the bank to believe that Organizations that do not change the changing environment wither away into oblivion. This led NBP to introduce the Cultural Change Program. The spirit of the Culture Change Program is symbolized by the special Change logo. It depicts a soaring eagle clasping the NBP logo, and epitomizes our vision. The NBP logo represents the tradition of scholarly and Security, the basis for the future of the bank. The Eagle represents Dynamisms, symbolizing the new customer focus and the new products, new way of working carrying the bank to dominance.

2.9.2 : Major Improvements


In the change program, the bank is giving great importance to its employees. The bank thinks that the changing environment will bring three major improvements. First, there will be far greater recognition of an individuals contribution to the bank. There will be an official reward and respect for the efforts and achievements. Second, the strengthening of the staff means that they can directly contribute to the shape of their future at the bank. Third, a steady improvement in working conditions both in terms of physical surroundings and relationships with the colleagues and customers.

2.10 : CUSTOMER ORIENTED SYSTEM

21

In the past, NBP was dominated by the personalities. It is said about NBP that what certain people wanted was done and the rest was not. In the change program, NBP plan to be driven by the customers and system. The customers will make the demands from the bank and the system will tell the bank that whether the bank can meet those demands or not. The change program also proposes to shrink the role of the Head Office. The role of the Head Office is setting strategy and policy, Developing product and Monitoring Performance to ensure compliance with the policy. The Head Office is into there to make decision for the line managers. In the change program the bank plans to get the decision making down to the level where it needs to be as close to the customer as possible. The change in the shape of Head Office will mean that the line offices will have to accept the greater responsibilities. The increase in the responsibilities will also expand the line office. Change program not only wants to reduce the dependence on the Head Office for the decision but also wants to free themselves from the intermediate management layers. With this change the bank expects that it will reduce the bureaucracy, empower line offices, and free up scarce managers to deal with the customer. The upper management wants to structure the bank to align closely with the core business activity.

2.11 : DECENTRALIZATION
National Bank of Pakistan in the past was characterized by highly centralized and rigid decision making structure, which was not conductive to modern banking requirements. An elaborate process of decentralization and devolution has commenced at NBP. In doing so, the bank is in line with recommendations prepared at the national level. In pursuance of the Chattha Commission report; regional headquarters has replaced provincial headquarters. Administratively the bank is now divided into nine regions reporting to as many Regional Chiefs Executives, who report directly to the head office.

The removal of the additional provincial tier has resulted in quicker turn around. And also improved coordination between head office and branches.

2.12 : SYSTEM AND PROCEDURES


Since the foundation of the bank in 1949, no effort has been made to improve the operational system and procedures. The basic book of instructions (BBI), the operational manual of the bank has its origins in the pre-independence practices, prevailing at institutions such as the imperial bank of India. The critical need of updating of management of the bank and its operations has been realized. Work is continuing under supervision of senior executives, to bring the BBI in line with the current banking conditions and system.

CHAPTER- 7. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS.

CONCLUSION.
A detailed study of the organization made it to conclude that in era of decomposition and de-formalization, the survival of an organization is now multidimensional. Todays organization is not related to managing things but now it is moving towards the creation if opportunities is the main purpose of the manger. Every manger can be seen in the roll of a leader. The era of restricted and bureaucratic environment has gone. Now the manager is more realistic for problem & the use of computerized network is necessary to survive. It is observed that National bank of Pakistan, as a purely financial institution has its own cultural environment and the functions of the bank run according to this environment but the changing environment demands for a change, a change which is unique in nature. No doubt the National bank of Pakistan is one of the successful banks in the Pakistan, but still some alternatives are required for a pace to the change. As advance use of information technology and informational change will bring a roll of performance to bank. The executive class and the upper management of the bank are highly trained and well experienced as for as the operational area of the bank are concerned. But unfortunately they are operational where existence of regulation is stresses. This is era of deregulation, but they simply ignore the reality. The management should change them with the changing environment. The awareness of staff from the goals of the organization is extremely important and they require a roll in the setting of regulation and implementation of rules. For the purpose, a creative leadership is also required. The leaders and managers of the bank have operational and administrative skills required to run the organization but now they need some additional skills, which are important for survival in the competitive market. Today everyone needs to differentiate himself from other to capture the market. In short, National bank of Pakistan in not only one of the leading banks, but it is also the agent to the Government and state bank of Pakistan. The situation, which is facing by the National bank of Pakistan, was never before. Considering all these things and to meet the demands of the new millennium, the bank must shift its attitude from ordinary commercial banking to the attitude of a specialized financial institution. National bank of Pakistan has too much strength, which are not available to the other commercial banks in Pakistan. It has the largest market for improvement as it has branches all over the countrys rural and urban areas. So it has the best access to the public capital. The only thing remains is that the strengths and opportunities should be capitalized in a scientific way to generate more of it. All the activities of the bank are Best but the bank needs to solve the problem of online banking activities, which should help the bank operations and will ease its way to become number one in banking sector.

RECOMMENDATIONS.
Problems never exist without remedies. National bank of Pakistan is not exception. Understanding its complexities and the requirements of new millennium can solve the problems faced by the bank in the era of modernization. Following are the remedial measures suggested for the bank, which may bring it to success. 7.1: Market Driven Strategies Keeping in view the long term goals and objectives of any financial institutions, NBP will has to focus on the achievement of the market driven strategies. It has to focus the challenges and avail the opportunities to get the maximization of goals. And then the people working in the organization in order to make the process of achieving the objectives easier must understand these goals of the organization. For the purpose a written copy of goals should be provided to the bank employees in which each and every aspect of strategies, consequences, responsibilities, and ultimate objectives are explained in a comprehensive and clear wording. The understanding of goals of the organization, the achievement of these goals within prescribed budget, the knowledge about the todays employee, and introducing new productive programs with time to time will expand the area of operations of the bank and maintain the stability in the competitive market. 7.2: Modernization Of The Technology Although national bank of Pakistan is one of the leading banks of the country still it requires some way to modernize the banks operations. The installation of computerized information system is necessity of the bank to compete the private banks of the country. Communication means among the branches should be modified with installation of computerized networking all over the network of branches in the world. This will save time of the organization but also money of the bank. All private banks have networking of this type, which makes available the records of all the customers through out the country, hence the customer incase his cheque from any branch of the bank with out any inconvenience. If national bank of Pakistan will provide this facility, it will play a roll of milestone to the up heights. The culture of ATM cards has already been established in the major cities but still lacks in the other areas. This system should be given wide ranges that will not only help in minimizing the main staff of the bank but it will also generate a customer satisfaction. 7.3: Implementation Of Personal Policies As far as the personal problems of enrollment, promotion, transfer, and training etc are concerned; the only bone of connection is violation of rules, Nepotism, favoritism, and barbarism are the catalysts of the evil, which is now-a-days common in all government controlled organizations with out any exception. This is only possible if all

58

the employees joint their hands for eradication of these evils. There should be a proper checking system in the organization to avoid the embazerment of other. The bank needs to adopt the scientific tools of the personal management like job description and job analysis which will help in the justified promotion and reward system. This will also prevent the exploitation of the staff.

Salary is the most important thing for staff. The salary packages of the bank should be make compatible with the packages offered by private banks otherwise bank will loose its highly qualified staff and creative minds as they may accept the other offer of other banks for better package. All employee of the bank should be channalized in a systematic way for training courses so as to make sure that every person is getting necessary training and skills on regular basis. If the required result of the training could not be achieved it will simply mean the wastage of NBP resources and no organization can afford wastage of its resources in this era of competition. 7.4: Liberalization The age of bureaucracy has gone. Every organization in this modern world is looking for free and liberal management system where workers and staff members are given their due part in the decision making of the organization regarding strategies, goals, and functions of the organization. National bank of Pakistan, if want to meet the challenges of the modern world must decentralized and deregulate its system and let the staff to participate in the affairs of the bank. This will produce the environment of the friendship in the bank and will bring loyalty to the organization. The unnecessary rule other Head Quarter should be minimized as much as possible. The branch manager and working staff should be given the authority, which is necessary for their successful performance, which will bring innovation in the functional area, as many minds can think more. 7.5: Better Communication Communication is the backbone of any organization to run. For satisfactory function it is necessary that the orders and demands should be properly communicated to the concerned subordinates. National bank of Pakistan is very weak in communication skills. Although it is now preparing itself information technology and video conferencing but still it is too late. It should be implementing immediately. 7.6: Regular Market Research It has been suggested that the bank should establish a systematic research system in the research centers of the bank. Research is required to meet the challenges of newly emerging environment of competition in the financial market. There is a lot of

59

uncertainty of future in the world market that can only be handled with efficiency of the bank continues research of its market. 7.7: Marketing Strategies National bank of Pakistan has failed to propagate its services property. It is suggested that it should apply the strategies where every staff member of the bank is part of the marketing activities. The same strategy is used in Union Bank where every person is given the advantage of the bank is part of the marketing activities. The same strategy is used in Union Bank where is given the advantage of the deposits he introduced. In this way every person tries his best to elaborate the bank in front of customers and they also courteous to the customer. The staff should also be given proper training for the purpose. Another weak point is that does not have any broacher or pamphlet. Marketing material like this should be kept at a very branch of the bank including the introductory notes of the new offers and investment packages. The bank should also involve itself in different schemes.

Societal marketing is also the most popular and result oriented style of marketing. Every business organization seems to be the part of this type of marketing but National Bank of Pakistan does not have any such activities. It is suggested that NBP should perform society factor in its marketing. National bank of Pakistan has the advantage of being as government controlled bank and the common people trust in more than any other private or multinational bank but the only grievance is that of customer service which if eliminated can do a lot for the bank in terms of its reputation as well as in terms of money. National bank of Pakistan is successful in maintaining of its present status but the achievement not lies in the staying as a place but there should be innovation and growth. The officials of national bank of Pakistan are aware of the need and have started a change program but the pace of the program is very slow which needs improvement. 7.8: Minimization Of Losses The branches running in losses have been closed but still there are few branches still running in losses. These branches are mostly in the remote areas of the country and should be closed down. As a business concern the main objective of the bank is to minimize the losses and maximize the profits if the bank is successful in doing so it will be a liability to the bank. The staff working in the braches where the workload is greater than the staff strength, the staff should be well utilized. The bank should also emphasize on the establishment of newly emerging industrial areas.

60

7.9: Need To Be Specialized Up-till now the bank is working in the environment of general banking which limited the scope of operation of the bank. Now it is needed to be converted into a specialized financial institution. It should deal with the various moods if financial matters. It should offer special scheme of investment for public and it should apply now means of operation

ONLINE BANKING
As mentioned before it is very important for National bank of Pakistan to start online banking facility to attract more & more potential customers. For this purpose WAN (Wide Area Network) or dedicated lines can be used. If full online banking cannot be started only Local Area Network (LAN) should be introduced. Credit Cards Credit cards are demolished from bank but can see easily that all the good banks are emphasizing on his facility and they are using it as a marketing tool. National bank of Pakistan should consider the opportunities and reopen the facility, the facility that will mark it a first class bank. Non-Customer Services Non-customer services like remittances, preparing of draft, safe custody holders, travelers cheque and bond owners are the most important for the bank. The people seeking these facilities are the potential customers of the bank. These people should be welcomed and treated with due courtesy to pursue them to make the customer of the bank. Staff Relationship Staff relationship in the branches should be cordial. The senior staff must guide the juniors should cooperate and listen to the senior. It has been seen that senior and junior staff does not enjoy cordial relationship. Due to this reason tension and conflicts prevails in the branch environment. It totally depends on the staff of the bank and how they maintain a friendly atmosphere in the bank. Like any other organization in the requirement of the Creative Leadership is also present in the bank. The leaders and manager of the bank have operational and administrative skills that are considered as important t survive in the competitive market. Today everyone needs to differentiate himself from other to attract the market opportunities. So the bankers of national bank of Pakistan should realize the fact and move according to the new approach. The staff of the national bank of Pakistan is not aware of the strategies of the bank and they are not provided the required information. They should be provided with the copies of the objectives and strategies. The feedback of the performance i.e. the manual report of the bank should also be provide to the staff member separately which will help them in
61

the location of the bank in the business community and they would able to elaborate the actual position of the bank before the customers. In this regard the achievements should be highlighted and the deficiencies should be removed. ATM Facility
This is very helpful service for the customer but no ATM is provided in most of the branches of NBP. So this facility should be availed to attract more & more potential customers.
