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.

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
Gold Finance
Agriculture Finance

standard e.g. for purchasing a motorcycle, car, house building, computer etc. There is

that is easily convertible into cash e.g. security bonds, Govt. certificates & bonds etc.
Example for this loan is Three Advance Salary. Three Advance Salaries is given to
Govt. or semi govt. registered company’s employees. The only condition for this type
of credit is that the salary must be directly credited into the bank. The borrower must
give a blank cheque for security. Security against running finance is that whish is

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

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.

security is 50%. In hypothecation bank does not interfere in the business of borrower.

authority of selling property in case when borrower will not repay the loan after a
fixed period.
Remittance Department

to another place without directly involving cash.

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

5 ... ... Cash Balance Book
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

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

section.
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
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:
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

decisions and all the others follow these decisions.

by the account department of NBP. They examine the financial statements and upon
their findings they prepare a report which is presented to the board of directors. This

company has two work shifts so that there is not much burden on the employees. The
company organizes the time after discussing with employees. The company uses all
its resources to organize in a better way. The company organizes both human and
non-human resources to in ways that enable plans to be achieved successfully. The
organizing function helps the organization by promoting the valuable tools for
fostering innovation and facilitating needed changes. The manager do major work of
organizing in done by the top management and the rest. The manger makes the
organization chart and company makes the necessary changes and often then approve.
