History of National Bank of Pakistan


The history of establishment of National Bank of Pakistan started from
the beginning of economic struggle in Pakistan in the year of 1947, when non-
Pakistani community of Hindus handled most of the country's economy. The
involvement of this level by the Hindus in the Pakistani economy was high attitude.
The situation got worst when after the division in 1947, most of the banking
professionals and employees of the import and export houses, left the country and
economy of the country was brought down to a stand still position. The number
offices in Pakistan were 631 before the division. This number immediately fell into
193 after independence of Pakistan. These remaining offices of the bank, most of
which belonged to old Imperial Bank of India, were maintained for the partial
operations with the help of skeleton staff body.
At the time of independence, it had been arranged between India and Pakistan
that the reserve Bank of India should act as the common monetary authority for the

both countries up to end of September 1948. But unfortunately this arrangement did
not prove satisfaction. The main course of this malfunctioning of the whole plan was
mainly because of the Indian aggression in the occupied Jammu and Kashmir, which
caused some serious damage Indo-Pak relations. As a result of this experience,
Pakistan felt it could not lace any reliance on the Reserve Bank of India. It was clear
that its own Central Bank was an indispensable necessity, so in result State Bank of
Pakistan came into being was in July 1948 and was inaugurated by Quaid-i-Azam
Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
The normal procedure of establishing banking companies under the
Companies Law was set aside and the bank was established through a promulgation
of an Ordinance due to the crisis situation that had developed with regard to financing
of jute trade. The bank commenced its operations from November 20, 1949 at six
important jute centers in the East Pakistan and directed its resources in financing of
the jute crop. The Bank’s Karachi and Lahore offices were subsequently opened in
December 1949.
State Bank of Pakistan after its formation demanded from Indian Reserve Bank the
assets against the Indian currency retired from Pakistani territory. Government of
India refused to hand over the assets worth about five hundred million rupees. The
dispute is still unsettled and these assets still not delivered to Pakistan. Until June
1950, the bank was engaged exclusively on jute operations. Thereafter, it felt that it
could expand its business to include other commodities as well. Bank took a big stride
in 1952, when it replaced the Imperial Bank of India, as an agent of State Bank of
Pakistan.
With a passage of time its functions diversified as they take over the function
of different institution with the passage of time like in past they took over the function
of the Imperial Bank of India and now of National Development Finance Corporation.
It is working as the agent of the State Bank of Pakistan and performs its functions
wherever State Bank of Pakistan is not present.
The government floated its 10% of the shares in the open market in past and
the ratio became 60:40 and in future they trying to make it 55:45.
In 1999 National Bank of Pakistan celebrated its golden jubilee during the last
fifty years banks has made substantial strides in the financial services industry in
Pakistan. In 1999 its market shares was around 22% and it remain the largest financial
institution in Pakistan.

gains due to higher portfolio size. Expenses increased by 14% in line with
inflation related salary increases and other overhead costs. Provision charge

Analysis and Comments on Organizational Structure of National


Bank
Before 02-07-2010 the organizational structure was so complicated. Each authority
has a large span of control. In that structure president has to control six head and it
shows a lot of responsibility. At that time the president of Bank Mr. Syed Ali Raza
announced to reorganize the structure. After reorganizing the structure becomes so
simple and convenient. The first line managers are the president and board of
directors of the organization.
If we made a deep analysis over the hierarchy of the structure president has further
chiefs. Chiefs supervise the regions assign to them. Each branch then works under the
guidelines and instructions of the regional offices. Then there is a chest branch in
every city. A chest branch has authority of issue Government Draft.
Now the structure is so simple and easy that everyone can understand it so easily.
Initially there is a president than board of director, member executive board , regional
head, zonal head ,branch manager.

Cash Finance
In this mode of financing the borrower is allowed to make withdrawals of funds as

limit and period it depends on the nature of the case in interview. This loan is given
against movable property (called Secure Finance) or may be given against personal
guarantee (called Clean Finance).
Demand finance is further divided into three types:
 Staff Finance

M.com Evening A Session (2010-2012) Page 17


Internship Report on National Bank of Pakistan

Advances provided by the Bank are of following two types:


 Funded Based Finances
 Non-funded Based Finances
FUND BASE
Loans are those which given in cash form to the borrower.
NON-FUND BASE
Loans are those which given other than cash e.g. Guarantee, L.C, Promissory Note
etc.
Banks run their business with the money of depositor, which is
repayable to them on demand. Banker is very conscious while using these funds. They
think thousands times before lending to the borrower. They must keep in mind the
following 5 C’s of Credit before advancing the loan:-
 Character
 Capacity to Repay
 Capital
 Collateral
 Condition
1. Character:
The first most important factor considered in the credit analysis is character. The
credit character is based on the borrowers' willingness to pay his obligation. The
willingness can be judged by the banker to see his family background, stability of
employment, personal habits, nature of business, previous record moral reputation,
importance of values to him etc.
2. Capacity to Repay:
Capacity to pay means ability of borrower to repay the amount of loan
when due. The borrower ability to repay the loan is assessed by the officer whether he
is able to repay that amount of loan which he wants to get. Before advancing the loan
bank must be satisfied with the repayment of fund.

3. Capital:
Officer assesses the capital of the borrower. If assets held by the
borrower are liquid, they can be easily convertible into cash, but if non-liquid is used
then it is risky to given loan. The asset of the consumer may be in form of house
motorcar, furniture etc. The businessman may own assets in the form of new
M.com Evening A Session (2010-2012) Page 18
Internship Report on National Bank of Pakistan

material, plant, machinery, building etc. The bank should extend the loan in the
proportion to the asset head by them. If the assets of borrower are liquid, he may be
giver large amount of credit. If assets are not liquid, then less amount of credit may
be given against the value of assets. Before landing the loan the banker should
examine the value of his business and its prospectus in future. The banker should
keep in his maid the owner's participation in his business. The banker should not
provide loan more than capital.
4. Collateral:
Collateral means an additional security given against the loan. Before
advancing the loan the banker should preferred get the security of liquid assets
because they can be converted into cash easily. The collateral security may be
consisting of stock, bill of exchange, bill of lading warehouse receipt, bonds etc.
Bank must be carefully examining this collateral security before advancing the loan
for security purpose. Banker should not extend loan on up to the full value of
collateral security. The securities, which are issued by the govt., may be given
100% loan against them. The other collateral may set 40%, 50% etc. loan against
the value.
5. Condition:
The economic condition of the borrower is determined. The economic
condition of the borrower in and outside the country effects the repayments of the
loan. If condition is favorable then loan is given otherwise vice versa.
Few Major Requirements for Sanctioning Loan
 Copy of CNIC.
 A written application.
 eCIB Report.
 Acceptable Security.
 Acceptance of the terms & conditions of the Bank.
 Financials of the Borrower to access the repayment.
 References.
Securities:
Before giving a loan to borrower a bank required a valuable security in three ways:
 Hypothecation
 Pledge
 Mortgage
M.com Evening A Session (2010-2012) Page 19
Internship Report on National Bank of Pakistan

Hypothecation:
In This type of security, immovable property is pledged by the bank &
bank is required a real value of that property for sanctioning a loan. Margin for this
security is 50%. In hypothecation bank does not interfere in the business of borrower.
Pledge:
In Pledge the bank has 90% shares in business of the borrower. The
bank has a right to sold the production & interfere in business transactions. In this
type of security bank pledge the stock & raw material. The stock must be insured.
Stock is controlled & managed by the bank; borrower cannot use raw material &
cannot sell its production without the presence & permission of the agent of bank.
Mortgage:
All documents of ownership & registration of movable property is
submitted to the bank with an authority letter which has an agreement to give
authority of selling property in case when borrower will not repay the loan after a
fixed period.
Remittance Department
Remittance is a major function of the bank. It is the transfer of money from one place
to another place without directly involving cash.
By proving this service to the customers the National Bank earns a lot of income in
the form of “Exchange”. There are two types of bills remittance:
 Remittance inward.
 Remittance outward.
Remittance inward:
Cheques & Drafts received for payment and clearance or drawn on us
from customer or other banks on behalf of their customers is called remittance
inward”.
Remittance outward:
“All instruments issued by us, which are drawn on other branch of the
same bank or instruments deposited for collection from other bank locally or out of

Pay Order (PO):


A pay order is a written order issued by the bank on its own branch, drawn upon and
payable by itself to pay a specified sum of money to the person. The purpose of a pay
order is to transfer the fund from one place to another. It is usually not issued in favor
of the parties of other cities. Usually the pay order is issued for the local transfer of
money between two parties. Every purchase of bank is paid through Payment Order
e.g Establishment charges.

Procedure
If the purchase of the branch is of huge amount then first the manager writes a letter
to the Zonal Chief in order to get sanction of the purchase. Then the advertisement of
the purchase is given in the newspaper in order to invite the contractors. But if the
work is small then the branch manager has discretionary power to select the party
whose rate is lowest. After finishing the work the contractor submits the bill of
purchase on his stamp pad. Then the bank issues a pay order, against the pay order the
contactor gets the amount from the issuing branch.

CASH DEPARTMENT
The following books are maintained in the cash department:-
1 ... ... Receiving Cashier Books
2 ... ... Token Book
3 ... ... Paying Cashier Book
4 ... ... Scroll Books
5 ... ... Cash Balance Book

M.com Evening A Session (2010-2012) Page 24


Internship Report on National Bank of Pakistan

The cash department is that through which all the receipts and payments of bank are
made. Also the bank’s cash record remains with this department. There are two types
of books used in this department.

When cash is received in counter, it is entered in the Scroll Book and Receiving
Cashier Book. At the close of the day, these are balanced with each other. When the
cheque or any negotiable instrument is presented at counter for payment, it is entered
in the Token Book and Token is issued to the customer. The Token and the cashier
make entry in the Payment Book and the payment is made to payee. At the close of
the day, the Token Book and paying Cashier Book is balanced. The consolidated
figure of receipt and payment of cash is entered in the Balance Book and drawn
closing balance of cash.
Opening Balance + Receipt – Payment = Closing Balance

This is very important department because cash is the most liquid asset and mostly
frauds are made in this department, therefore, extra care sis taken in this department
and no body is allowed to enter or leave the area freely. Mostly, cash area is grilled
and its door is under the supervision of head of that department. Officer checks the
books maintained in this department.
Cash receipt book
In which the cashier records the entry when some one comes to deposit some amount.
The clients pay with green slips and the cashier the amount according to the pay in
slip, sort outs the notes, puts a signature, stamps it and record in his book. After
stamping the slip the cashier returns the pay in slip to the customer. Then customer
goes to the another bank officer, he again record this voucher, into this cash scroll and
return one part of the pay in slip to the customer and keeps the other part for the
record.

Cash payment book

When some customer comes to the branch to withdraw some amount from the
account, after getting the token from deposit section he goes to the cashier, cashier
checks his token and cheque which is referred to him from deposit section. The
cashier makes to him required payment and receives the token from the customer.
M.com Evening A Session (2010-2012) Page 25
Internship Report on National Bank of Pakistan

After recording all the cheques in this book he returned the cheques in to the deposit
section.

Books use in NBP


The following are the common books, which are maintained any branch of NBP. The
sole purpose of the cashbook is to record the total transactions done in each type of
account daily. The closing balance of cash is also included in the cashbook. It is
maintained with the help of various types of vouchers and day books. These vouchers
and day books of different heads are as follows.

 Term deposit vouchers.


 Call deposit vouchers.
 PLS day books.
 Current day books.
 Cash finance day books.
 Suspense vouchers
 Payment order vouchers.
 Charges vouchers.

Deposit Department
Bank deals in money and they are merely mobilizing funds within the economy. They
borrow from one person and lend to another, the difference between the rates

M.com Evening A Session (2010-2012) Page 26


Internship Report on National Bank of Pakistan

borrowed and lend from their spread or gross profit. Therefore, we can rightly state
that deposits are the blood of the banks which cause the body of an institution to get
to work. These deposits are liability of the bank so from the viewpoint of bank we can
refer to them as liabilities.

TYPES OF DEPOSITS
Deposits can be segregated on two bases, one is the duration in which these funds are
expected to be with the bank, and second is the cost of getting these funds. So we can
divide deposits into two classes according to duration:

1 ... ... Time Deposits


2 ... ... Demand Deposits
And on the basis of the cost of acquire these funds, a deposit can be classified as any
one of the following four:

a ... ... High Cost


b ... ... Medium Cost
c ... ... Low Cost
d ... ... No Cost
Bank has different kind of deposit schemes in order to induce deposits. These
schemes are a mixture of the above mentioned two types of deposits with and addition
of different services and requirements, mode of transactions, basis for calculation of
profit, deduction, additional benefits, and eligibility for different groups.

TYPES OF THE ACCOUNTS

Depositors can open the following types of accounts with the National Bank of
Pakistan in any branch;
i- Current account
ii- P.L.S. saving account.
iii- P.L.S. Term Deposit Account.
iv- M.I.S. (Monthly Income Scheme)
v- N.I.D.A. (National Income Daily Account)
vi- Call Deposit
M.com Evening A Session (2010-2012) Page 27
Internship Report on National Bank of Pakistan

vii- Cumulative Deposit Account


CURRENT ACCOUNT
It is a running account between the customer and the bank. As the name signifies the
depositor can draw or demand amount at any time by presenting the cheque in the
bank. Unlike term deposits there is no restriction of withdrawals. The bank neither
pays any kind of interest nor deducts the Zakat from the deposits of current account.
The bank also does not take any service charges up to the minimum balance of
account from the depositors. The minimum balance required to an account to be
opened is Rs. 5000/-. Overdraft facility can be provided through the agreement with
the bank. In developed and developing countries a very significant amount of money
is kept under current account. Businessman normally opens this kind of account.

PROFIT & LOSS SHARING SAVING ACCOUNT


In Pakistan the profit & Loss Sharing Account is introduced in January 1982. In these
P.L.S. accounts the bank gives no fixed rate of profit. These types of deposits are
designed to encourage the saving habits of the people. The minimum deposit to open
this account is Rs. 300/-. After every six months a rate of profit is announced by the
Head Office and after calculating the amount, it is credit to the depositor account.
Now a day, if an account holder maintains Rs.2000/- minimum balance throughout
the month then his account is eligible for profit. On 1 st day of RAMADAN, Zakat is
deducted at the rate of 2.5 %. If any customer does not want to pay Zakat from his
account then he must give an undertaking that he will pay Zakat himself or he belongs
to Fiqah-e-Jafriya. Restriction on withdrawal of heavy balances is now abolished.
Customer can withdraw heavy amount within the banking hours without giving any
notice.

Profit Calculation:
Profit is calculated on the basis of Product & Days. Product & Days include
number of months for which the bank retains balance multiply with the amount of
balance, and then apply the rate of profit on net balance.

P.L.S. TERM DEPOSIT

T.D.R. The minimum balance required to open this type of account is Rs. 10000/-.
Profit is announced after six months and then credited to the respective accounts.
Monthly Income Scheme

account is Rs. 250,000 & profitable balance is Rs. 2 million. Profit is given on daily

COMMENTS ON ORGANIZATIONAL ANALYSIS

There are so many banks are listed in banking sector of Karachi stock exchange. But
NBP, MCB, HBL, UBL & ABL are foremost and major banks of the country.
National Bank of Pakistan is showing better performance in the banking sector, in
spite of government owned institution.

NBP has an effective assets management and has large value of total assets as
compared to other banks. The advances and investment of NBP also showed high
values as compared to other banks. That reflects the part of the bank in the economic
development and money & capital market development of the country.

The total revenue of NBP is higher than other bank but the profit after tax and
earnings per share is lower than other banks. So the banks unable to produce an
effective and reasonable income for the stakeholders, that is due to high political
influence and awarding loans for the non productive activities.

WEAKNESSES
NATIONAL BANK OF PAKISTAN
 National Bank of Pakistan's staff especially at lower level considers their work
as burden. They usually waste time in other task a part in performing their
duty. Using government property for their own need. They are reluctant to
accept change brought by latest restructuring efforts.

 The general outlook and interior layout of branches are not as required
according to modern banking.

 National Bank of Pakistan bearing up large burden in running those branches


which are not producing any income but keep on adding expenditure.

 National Bank of Pakistan is relying on its traditional sources of income it has


not taken benefit from innovation in banking like introducing retail banking or
consumer banking and using any type of scheme to generate more deposits
and producing more advances. Furthermore don't even continue its credit card
due mismanagement and lack of control.

 National Bank of Pakistan is far behind in offering modern banking facility


like Automate Teller Machines than other commercial bank in Pakistan as
only eighteen branches in all over country have this facility.

 Customers have to follow long lengthy procedure for opening of account as


well applying for debt, which discourage most of the people to invest in NBP.

 In NBP, most of the time merit not has importance in hiring of employees.
Such practices are black spot on the face of bank and resulted big losses any
fraudulent acts by NBP own employees

 GOVT. ORGANIZATION
NBP is Govt. Owned organization that is why every Govt. has strong impact on its
operations to the other banks. So in this sense it is lowest in rank.

M.com Evening A Session (2010-2012) Page 74


Internship Report on National Bank of Pakistan

 LACK OF IMPLEMENTATION OF RULES AND REGULATION


Because it is govt. owned organization so the rules and regulation are not
implemented by the employees.

through other tools of corruption.

 POOR WORKING CONDITION

Despite, culture change program the working condition of the NBP is not up to

 LESS USE OF COMPUTER

In NBP there is very less use of computer for maintaining the records of the branches
as compared to other banks of the country.

 ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
In this organization the organizational structure is bureaucratic which a barrier in
rapid and effective decision making.

 STRONG UNION
Union has strong impact on performance of NBP. So the top management is unable to
punish the violators and shrieks.

 The Bank should develop a comprehensive recruitment policy to make only


the competent ones to be on the job.

 There is a still a vast pool of incompetent employees that has to right sized.

 There is a lack of promotional element in the planning and budgetary


decisions of the Bank that has to think seriously.

 All branches of the Bank should be computerized for increasing the


effectiveness and efficiency of its employees.

 Efforts should be continued to keep the powers of employees union to the


minimum, like the current situation.

 Promotions must not be delayed and should be made on time to further


increase the commitment and efficiency of the employees.

 These and many others that can make a good set of recommendations, which
have to be made possible to escape from the threats and weaknesses and the
risks in environment that surrounds the Bank. The management do considers
the policy matters that are not helping the Bank, but are still in practice due to
the absence of prudentially regulated system to protect them and the Bank.

 Efforts have been made with serious concern to give NBP a status that it has to
maintain by having practices of:

 Right sizing of the employees.


 By closing unprofitable branches.
 By introducing a merit based selection criteria.
 Promotions made conditional with qualifications.

To remain in the market bank need to be vigilant in the eyes of customer. One way is
through promotion efforts, so that people aware about he services of the banking and
any addition which the bank as made in the portfolio of its services.
