1. Introduction:
The theoretical knowledge and practical training is not the same theme. The theoretical
knowledge is fulfilled when it can be used in the practical field. The goal of internship is to
apply one’s theoretical knowledge in practical fields. Generally by the word “Bank” we can
easily understand that the financial institution deals with money. But there are different types
of banks such as; Central Banks, Commercial Banks, Savings Banks, Investment Banks,
Industrial Banks, Co-operative Banks etc. But when we use the term “Bank” without any
prefix, or qualification, it refers to the ‘Commercial banks’. Commercial banks are the
primary contributors to the economy of a country. Janata Bank Limited a kind of commercial
Bank in our country. Janata Bank a nationalized commercial bank established under the
Bangladesh Banks (Nationalization) Order 1972. With its head office at Dhaka the bank
started its operations with an initial authorized capital of Tk 50 million and paid up capital of
Tk 10.5 million. The authorized capital was raised to Tk 30 million in 1973. In addition to
traditional deposit taking in various accounts and providing loans to almost all sectors of the
economy, the bank offers different types of other services and conducts 'off-balance sheet
(OBS)' activities. The value of assets created by the OBS activities of the bank was Tk 26.07
billion in 1998 and Tk 25.46 billion in 2000. Janata Bank has a large participation in Foreign
Remittance business including overseas remittance services. The total volume of Foreign
Remittance business handled by the bank in servicing imports and exports and remittances
during 1999-2000 amounted to Tk 40.312 billion. In 2009, the bank had correspondent
relationships with 3,180 foreign banks/bank offices. In 1972, Janata Bank started its banking
operations with a total initial deposit of Tk 1.57 billion. Ever since the bank has been making
continuous and sustained efforts to mobilize deposits from untapped resources in both urban
and rural areas. A special deposit mobilization programmed introduced by the bank in 1976
resulted in remarkable increases in the volume of its deposits, which grew at a rate of
approximately 63% and 42% during 1972-74 and 1978-80. Major areas that received
financing from the bank were jute trade, jute industries, tanneries, sugar industries, textile
trade and industries, transport, iron and steel, tea plantation and trade, livelihood
trades/income generating activities and housing. During 1999, Janata Bank disbursed Tk
16.383 billion in loans and advances and the recovery during the year was Tk 4.541 billion.

1.6 Significance of the Report:
This report is the result of three month internship in Janata Bank Limited (JBL). And I have
completed this internship period successfully. This internship report contains all the
knowledge that I have gathered at the time of my internee at Janata Bank Limited (JBL) in

Chapter-2
Banking Industry in Bangladesh
Financial System is the set of well-organized institutional set up which helps to transfer
excess funds from surplus unit to deficit unit. The financial system in Bangladesh includes
Bangladesh Bank (the Central Bank), scheduled banks, and non-bank financial institutions
like leasing etc. Microfinance institutions (MFIs), insurance companies, co-operative banks,
credit rating agencies and stock exchange. Banking sector occupies the lion portion share of
62
financial system in Bangladesh. Bangladesh bank is authorized for regulating and supervising
financial institutions in Bangladesh.
Despite in recent years, many non-bank financial institution has been established, still the
financial system of Bangladesh is mainly banking sector based. Banking sector consists of
Bangladesh Bank as the central bank, four state-owned commercial banks, four specialized
Bank/development financial institutions, thirty private commercial banks and nine foreign
commercial banks.
Bangladesh becomes independent after long nine months war. Before the liberation, most of
the banking company were owned by the then west Pakistanis. So, the then Government of
Bangladesh nationalized all the banks operating in Bangladesh except foreign Banks
(Incorporated in abroad). All these banks were grouped into commercial banks through
merger process. Among the six commercial banks, two banks namely Pubali bank and Uttara
bank were shifted to private sector in January, 1985 and another bank Rupali bank was
incorporated as public limited company with effect from December, 1986. The rest three
banks namely Sonali bank, Agrani bank and Janata bank were also transferred as public
limited company in 2007. So, now there are four state owned commercial banks operating in
Bangladesh.
After liberation, two specialized bank operating in Bangladesh were also nationalized and
renamed as Bangladesh Krishi Bank and Bangladesh Shilpa Bank. But Bangladesh Krishi
bank was divided in 1987 and renamed as Rajshahi Krishi Unnayan Bank (RAKUB) for
Rajshahi Division to promote agricultural development in that region and Bangladesh Krishi
bank for the rest of part of the country. In 1988, another specialized bank name Bank of
Small Industries and Commerce Bangladesh Ltd. (BASIC) was established as private bank to
promote small and medium entrepreneurship. In 1993, the then Government of Bangladesh
took the control of BASIC and was declared it as a specialized bank. Bangladesh Shilpa Bank
was merged with Bangladesh ShilpaRinSangsta (BSRS) in 2010 and renamed as Bangladesh
62
Development Bank Limited (BDBL). So, currently there are four specialized banks which are
termed as Development Financial Institutions (DFIs) operating in Bangladesh.
At present, there are thirty local private commercial banks operating in Bangladesh. PCBs
dominate the banking sector of Bangladesh. More than fifty percent of total deposits and
assets are covered by the PCBs. The performance of PCBs is much better than SCBs and
DFIs in all respects. Client service innovation and banking service automation is one of the
major reasons for their domination over the SCBs and PCBs. among the three generation of
PCBs, third generation banks are more innovative and provide better client services through
automation whereas first generation banks are little bit in backward position though they
continuously improving their condition to compete in the market. Bangladesh’s PCBs have
quickly occupy market share at the expense of the state-owned commercial banks (SCB) and
presently grasp more than 59 percent of total deposits whereas it is only 28 percent for the
SCBs and PCBs assets coverage is 58% whereas it is only 29% in SCBs.
Before liberation, there were few FCBs operating in the country which was incorporated in
abroad. Among those foreign banks, Standard chartered Grindlays Bank was merged with
Standard Chartered Bank in 2003 and then American Express Bank further merged with
Standard Chartered Bank in 2005. Credit Agricole Indosuez bank was renamed as
Commercial Bank of Ceylon Ltd. in 2003. Currently, there are nine foreign commercial
banks operating in Bangladesh. Foreign Commercial Banks suffered for lack of wide spread
branch network. Their operation is basically limited to capital city and some other municipal
city corporation area.
62
According to Bank Company Act, 2007, "All such banks operating in Bangladesh with
different paid-up capital and reserves having a minimum of an aggregate value of Tk. 50 lacs
and conducting their affairs to the satisfaction of the Bangladesh Bank have been declared as
scheduled banks in terms of section 37(2) of Bangladesh Bank Order 1972. In terms of
section 13 of Bank Company Act, 1991, the minimum aggregate value was Tk. 20 crores.
From 30th March, 2003, it was tk. 100 crores and from the 8th October 13, 2007, it has been
raised at the minimum of Tk. 200 crores" [Bank Company Act, 2007].

General Banking Activities of Janata Bank Limited

demands and needs by paying cheques. To be principal instruments interest security and
different services play as vital role to attract the customers. In fact, there is no relation
between banker and customers except transaction related activities. And that’s why banker
always tries to provide best and unique opportunity to the customer through superior services
rather to other banks to hold them. Therefore different activities like cheque, pay order issue,
local, foreign remittance, funds, account opening etc. are carry out by the departments.
In the branch different sections are ready to give the services which are the ultimate solution
of the customers. Any information, if customer wants to know, he or she can get it either
phone or coming in the bank. But by phone all information is not provided due to maintain
security. Normally what amount of money in their (customer) account, to open an account
what should be followed, when can be taken cheque book and deposit book, what the
condition of interest rate, how money can be transferred to other bank etc. This type of
services bank provided to the customer. People always want to get the customer service as
early as possible. JBL wants as fast as possible they will offer the services to the customer
rather than other banks holding own position and go forward more by superior services
through smiling face as well as well behaving what they need. Sometime which facilities
(products) have been come in new way for the customers and helpful are informed. To
develop customer service more, sometimes they are asked what their expectation to the bank
about it is. If it is possible manager tries to add with customer service Therefore info provider
has to be always spirited and active to provide just in time. These services and account
opening to provide executive officer basically is active in the REB Branch.
To start the transaction permanently in a Janata Bank registration should be maintained which
is account opening. One of our Officer (Executive officer) is always ready to provide this
62
type of service by account opening one considered as own and loyal client to the bank.
Therefore it wants to retain this customer for a long time providing superior services. To open
an account some criterion client has to follow which helps to keep information about them to
it. To open account in the Janata Bank they have different account form to registry in
different name. Generally to open any account first of all collecting the form filling account
holder’s name, father’ name, mother’s name, date of birth, citizenship, religion, present and
permanent address and signature. Introducer’s approved should be mandatory and filling
nominee’s information like A/C holder in the form. After this task he or she will be given a
photocopy of voter ID card/valid passport/Nationality Certificate and three copies
photographs (two for A/C holder and another one for nominee). Then officer will check it and
give an A/C no. as well deposit book to deposit money in the A/C no. Then the respective
officer inputs data into Easy Banking Software. Then he prints thanks letter for introducer
and A/C holder and sends these letters in respective address to verifying addresses of
introducer & A/C holder. After verifying A/C holder’s address the officer issue cheque books
to withdraw money.
JBL (Janata Bank Limited) focuses different importance to the different A/C. according to
that the requirement varies.
Current Deposit Account: Current Deposit account is the most important for the bank. This
A/C is opened by business people who are used to daily transaction for business purposes.
People mostly maintain this A/C to have daily transaction in any time and for security. No
interest is paid in Current Deposit Account due to any time withdraw from the bank and
deposit to the bank. To open this account, there some rules and regulation which is controlled
by Bangladesh Bank (Central Bank) have been maintained by Janata Bank (JBL).
Types of Current Deposit Account:
Current Deposit Account (Personnel)
Current Deposit Account (Sole Proprietorship)
Current Deposit Account (Partnership)
Current Deposit Account (Limited Liability Company)
62
Current Deposit Account (Association/Trust/Society)
Saving Account: Saving account is quite different from Current A/C. Bank provide interest
5% at present to the client to maintain deposit in. Here, client cannot withdraw his money any
time as his wish. Some restrictions have to follow to withdraw money per week. People are
more interested to open A/C for sending and receiving money from different source abroad
and local as well getting interest and security.
Account Closing:
For two reasons, one can be closed. One is by banker and other is by the customer.
By banker: If any customer doesn’t maintain any transaction within six years and the A/C
balance becomes lower than the minimum balance, banker has the right to close an A/C.
By customer: If the customer wants to close his A/C, he writes an application to the manager
urging him to close his A/C.
But in practice, normally the customers don’t close A/C willingly. At times, customers don’t
maintain any transaction for long time. Is this situation at first, the A/C becomes dormant and
ultimately it is closed by the bank.

4.4 Departments:
4.4.1 Remittance:
Remittance of funds is a very crucial service of JBL. It aids to remit fund from one place to
another place on behalf of its customers as well as non- customers of bank. JBL has its
branches in the major cities of the country and therefore, it serves as one of the best mediums
for remittance of funds from one place to another.
The main instruments used by JBL, local Office Branch for remittance of funds.
T.T. Issue/Collection
IBC/OBC/LBC Collection.
The pay order is an instrument issued by bank, instructing itself a certain amount of money
mentioned in the instrument taking amount of money and commission when it is presented in
bank. Only the branch of the bank that has issued it will make the payment of pay order.
62
After scrutinizing and approval of the instrument by the authority, it is delivered to
customer. Signature of customer is taken on the counterpart.
The person intending to remit the money through a Demand Draft (DD) has to deposit the
money to be remitted with the commission which the banker charges for its services. The
amount of commission depends on the amount to be remitted. On issue of the DD, the
remitter does not remain a party to the instrument: i) Drawer branch ii) Drawee branch iii)
Payee. This is treated as the current liability of the bank as the banker on the presentation of
the instrument should pay the money. DD will be paid only by the drawing branch or paying
branch. The banker event on receiving instructions from the remitter cannot stop the payment
of the instrument. Stop payment can be done in the following cases:
Loss of draft before endorsement: In this case, “Draft reported to be lost, payee’s
endorsement requires verification” is marked.Loss of draft after endorsement: In this case, the
branch first satisfies itself about the claimant and the endorsement in his favor.
Charges:
A commission of 0.10% is taken on the draft value & 15% vat on DD commission & Tk.25/=
is taken as postal charge.
To cancel an issued DD, the client has to submit an application. Then DD issuing branch
sends a request letter to drawn branch to caption mark as “DD Cancel/Lost” in respective
register. Issuing branch then sends an Inter Branch Debit Advice (IBDA) to the drawn branch
against previously issued IBCA for reconciles the amount.
T.T. Issue/Collection:
62
Though TT stands for Telex Transfer it is used as Telephonic Transfer since Telex has
eliminated. Telephonic transfer (TT) is another widely used mode for remittances of funds. In
case of telephone transfer the message for transfer of funds is communicated through tested
telephonic message. JBL generally recovers from the telephone charges in addition to the
usual service charges.
Issuing of TT:
Now JBL started test basis online banking service in eight branches. As a result customer of
one branch will deposit or withdrawal his/her money through any other branches of JBL at
cheapest cost or service charges. Here it is mentioned that online facilities are available for
Current Deposit A/Cs, Savings Deposit A/Cs & Special Notice A/Cs only.
4.4.2 Accounts:
Account Department plays most vital role in Banking. Accounts Department is a department
with which each and every department is related. It records the profit & loss A/C and
statement of assets and liabilities by applying of book-keeping. The functions of it are
theoretical & computerized based. JBL REB Branch records its accounts daily, weekly, and
monthly every record.

This section of any branch plays very significant role in Accounts Department. Because, it
deals with most liquid assets of the JBL. This section receives cash from depositors and pay
cash against cheque, draft, PO, and pay in slip over the counter. Every bank must have a cash
counter where customer withdrawn and deposit their money. When the valued client’s
deposit their money at the cash counter they must have to full fill the deposit slip his/her own,
then they sing as the depositor option’s then they deposit their money through cash officer at
the cash counter. There are several types of deposit slip as follows:
T.T. Slip.
After paying this kinds of slip, the valued client waits for the deposit slip book outside of the
cash counter. The Deposit officer the money in their account through computer software,
while the depositors account credited, then he puts a seal in the deposit slip.
Transfer:
Basically transfer is a type of register maintaining matter. In this register officer write down
every day transactions in Debit and Credit side then the officer calculate both the side of the
register if both side shown same amount, it means that the total day’s transaction is
completely okay. Transfer is not a critical sector in banking but it is very important. Transfers
play a vital role in banking sector.
Clearing:
62
Clearing is one of the crucial parts of banking. Different cheques of banks come from
different clients to pass through clearing. In this case this cheques are sent to the head branch
to get advice whether it will be passed or not and for that it takes minimum one day to credit
his or her account.

Chapter – 06
Task Completed During Internship Program
62
Knowledge Gained During BBA Program to Accomplish Each Task
6. Work-Related:
Throughout my internship period, I have been placed in the General Banking Department.
General Banking department performs the majority functions of a bank. It is the core
department. In fact, bank operates with the people’s money. And this process starts with the
General Banking department.
In this part I have tried to present my personal observations from general banking department
of this branch. I had an opportunity to be acquainted with the practical banking prevailing in
the Sheikghat Branch, JANATA Bank Limited. The knowledge, which has been acquired in
my Internship Period, I have tried my best to show in this report.
Due to time and resource constraint I couldn't do practical workout in all departments. In that
case I tried to collect data/information from the following sources:
62
Face to face conversation with the officer,
Direct observations,
Face to face conversation with the client,
Consultation with the Manager,
Browsing the website of JBL.
As I have worked in general banking activities department so I have gained some knowledge
about an organization like JANATA bank ltd. though I have got short period of time to gain
knowledge about their organization system and working process in detailed .Hence by
knowing their information regarding banking system I have discussed the departments I
worked out.
When I was in the account opening section there was a task for me to help the customer to fill
up their accounting opening form. On that time I need to follow some necessary steps those
are.
Firstly I used to give the accounting opening form to the clients and they were asked
to provide their required documents, photos.
Sometimes I needed to fill up the form for the customer.
The documents they are supposed to provide are; TIN no, national ID card and
passports photocopy, birth registration certificate, nominee name, address and proper
signature.
Opening a new account an introducer is needed which is important thing. I had to
check whether the introducer is valid or not.
I used to provide seal after checking all of this.
Customer need to sign in front of the manager.
Form verified by the officer I used to verify it through software.
After all formalities customer need to deposit a minimum amount of taka.
I used to issue check book for the clients of JBL. For that there are some process which need
to followed sequentially
62
6.5 Checking Accounts voucher Register
Every day I needed to check the debit and credit voucher. There were three things; savings,
cash amount and transfer. First I used to collect debit and credit vouchers and organized them
by their serial number. Then I used to check their amount and total numbers of vouchers are
available there or not.
After clients submitted the account form I used to check if all the required data are there or
not. Then I need to entry those data in computer through banking software which they called
e-banking. There were two pages on that software which I used to fill up. If needed I could
edit their information as well. After finishing the data entry it will give an id no. which I used
to write on the top of the form.
62
Sometimes I used to write applications for the customers who wanted to write to the bank for
opening account without any interest and also for update their account.
6.10.5.4 Remittance:
Remittance of funds is ancillary services of JBL. It aids to remit fund from one place to
another place on behalf of its customers as well as non- customers of Bank. JBL has its
branches in the major cities of the country and therefore, it serves as one of the best mediums
for remittance of funds from one place to another. The main instruments used by JBL:-
Clearing house is an assembly of the locally operating scheduled banks for exchange of
cheques, drafts, pay orders and other demand instruments drawn on each other and received
from their respective customers for collection. The house meets at the appointed hour on all
working days under the supervision of two central bank officers or its agent as the case may
be, and works within the regulations framed therefore on the basis of prevailing banking
practices. In Bangladesh, clearing house sites at Bangladesh bank where there is no office of
the Bangladesh bank, Sonali Bank acts as agent of Bangladesh bank.
There are mainly two types of clearing systems in Bangladesh, such as:
The cash section of any branch plays very significant role in Banking Section. Because, it
deals with most liquid assets. The JBL, Uttar Branch has an equipped cash section. This
section receives cash from depositors and pay cash against cheque, draft, PO, and pay in slip
over the counter. Every Bank must have a cash counter where customer withdrawn and
deposit their money. When the valued client’s deposit their money at the cash counter they
must have to full fill the deposit slip his/her own, then they sing as the depositor option’s then
they deposit their money through cash officer at the cash counter.

Current Deposit A/C Slip,
Saving’s Deposit A/C Slip,
Fixed or Time Deposit A/C Slip.
Any people who want to have deposit money will fill up the deposit slip and give the form
along with the money to the cash officer over the counter. The cash officer counts the cash
and compares with the figure written in the deposit slip. Then he put his signature on the slip
along with the ‘cash received’ seal and records in the cash receive register book against A/C
number.
At the end of the procedure, the cash officer passes the deposit slip to the counter section for
posting purpose and delivers duplicate slip to the clients.
The client who wants to receive money against cheque comes to the payment counter and
presents his cheque to the officer. He verifies the following information:
After checking everything, if all are in order the cash officer gives amount to the holder and
records in the paid register.
62
They have no uniform. For that reason some customer find it, difficult to identify the
bank employee.
Some superior officers of this bank are not available sometime.
Lack of motivation among mid and lower level officers.
Some employees are less trained to handle technologies. Such as – computer, Internet
etc.
Modern technology is hardly used to maintain documentations yet they are using
registered based document.
Where computer leads every sphere of lives including foreign exchange dept,
JANATA Bank does not have experts in computer.
Most of the time they try to provide quality services to the known person, it may loses
general customer.
62
Marketing is this area helps me to understand how to make a good customer using marketing
tools. Merchant Banking is one type of marketing to grow up their clients, where they use
marketing terms to capture/reach new customers.
Principle of Accounting: Accounting terms helps me to understand the balance sheet
and income statement of the bank, Analyzing financial statement.
Human Resource Management: HRM knowledge makes me clear view how modern
banks recruit their human resource. The administration knowledge that evaluate their
candidates by traits based measures, behaviour based and outcomes or result based
measurement which I learnt from HRM, is now see if practically. ‘Training make a man
perfect by creating more flexible’, now feel it practically.
Banking: Banking study helps me to understand easily the banking terms & conditions
Modern banking system, Types of deposit account, Opening & Operation of bank accounts,
Document for opening and operations of bank accounts, about cheque book, Banker-
Customer Relationship.
Introduction to Computer & Management information and Control
System: Introduction to computer and MICS study helps me to understand IT sector,
without this banking is lame. Organization and IT both are interred related. During my
internship I can realize how Customer Relationship Management is effectively doing their
activities with their valued client’s, Computer Networks, Electronic Mail etc.
Audit and Taxation: Customers pay their income tax and others, which is only the
bookish knowledge for me before this internship program. This knowledge I gained from the
study book audit and Taxation, but now it is a practical knowledge for me.
Economics: From the Economics study I know about GNP, GDP, Gross Income, Money
Laundering and Export- Import that help me to understand practically how GNP and GDP
help our Economy.
Organizational Behaviour: Writer Oscar Wilde say’s that, ‘I think that God in creating
Man somewhat overestimate his ability’. It is the place where a person can prove his or her
ability by performing in an organization. The organizational behaviour and culture are
differing from social behaviour and cultures are easily identifiable.
Employee satisfaction on their job, evaluation of performance, linking an individual’s
personality and Values to the work place , Group Decision Making, Organizational
Communication, Work Stress and its Management, Maslow’s Hierarchy of need that contains
62
in five factors is: Physiological need, Safety Need, Social Need, Esteem Need and Self-
actualization.
Chapter-7
Findings, recommendations & Conclusion
62
7. Findings:
JBL is one of the potential banks in the banking sector. The Sheikghat branch of JBL is the of
Sylhet Division. It was a wonderful experience working at Janata Bank Limited. The
employees of the bank were very helpful and nice to me. In spite it was not an easy job to
find so many things during the very short period of practical orientation program. Now, I
would like to present my observations and give, my opinion to improve the banking service
and make their customer more satisfied.
Since a number of new banks are coming to existence with their extended customer
service pattern in a completely competitive manner. Customer services must be made
dynamic and prompt. Now a day, people have very little time to waste but want
fastest and unique services in short time. Moreover they seek the bank which will
62
provide more facilities and attractive offer compare to other bank. Therefore
southeast bank should think sincerely about the renovation of their customer service
and facilities which will be more attractive and innovative rather than traditional one.
There is lack of division of labor in the branch. Therefore everybody has to handle
every type of banking services. Moreover if one personnel is absence in a department
then extra burden will fall to another. This decreases the level of performance of the
personnel, though it reduces monotonousness. But lack of division of labor hampers
the discipline of working environment. So customers have to wait for some time for
the desired service, which is contrary to the Premium Banking objective.
Janata Bank Ltd, Sheikghat Branch gives personalized services. All the officers have
to give concentration to the customers, while doing this they cannot properly
completed and maintain the customer files. In many cases, most of the files and
papers are kept here and there by the officers during the busy hour.
62
4. Shortage of availability of Machineries:
5. Employee Dissatisfaction:
Advertising and promotion is one of the weak points of Janata Bank Limited. Janata
Bank Limited does not have any effective promotional activities through
advertisement, but other banks have better promotional strategy.
All the organizations including banks are now mostly depends on computer but
employees do not have much knowledge on computer.
Janata bank doesn’t arrange any desk and fixed any task for their internee. Therefore
they don’t get any chance to learn banking activities by doing practical task. It is not
possible for any fresh graduate to learn banking activities by getting few lecture from
specific personnel rather if they involve them to some specific activities it would be
easy for them to learn more and fell confident to perform any activities properly.
62
7.1 Recommendations:
Janata bank should make its service prompt so that people need not give more time in the
banking activities and fell easy to perform all respective activities. Moreover they have to
come up with new facilities and offer which will attract more client and help to ensure
their premium as well as loyal customer forever. Therefore they have to ensure-
The working process faster with better computers and operating systems.
Trained, experienced, smart, knowledgeable as well as intellectual personnel to
provide fastest and the best services.
Individual attention can be given to customers in order to better understand the
customer’s needs and better satisfy them (Cheques, deposit slips are not written
properly by the customers so the employees have to do that).
More ATM booth in merchant location.
More Gifts, Discounts as well as differentiated interest rates on several loan and
deposit schemes for the Premium Customers.
Car parking facility.
The human resource departments of Janata bank have to ensure proper division of labor in
desk for handling the rash of customer in an efficient way. Therefore based on importance
and work load they have to ensure proper division of labor. Moreover by increasing the
numbers of personnel try to maintain the premium banking objective. Mainly the number
of human resources is needed in Front Desk and in clearing section which really
insufficient for giving services to huge number of customers.
3. Ensure Proper compilations &Maintenance of Files:
Ensuring proper customer service is a continuous process in banking business. Which is
vital for it success. The service starts from the first day of customer interaction with
banker. To know customer, maintain interaction, conducting banking activities for the
security purposes the file maintenance of individual client is most important. If one single
paper is missing then it can create a big problem as well as hazard to both banker and
62
their customer. Therefore both branch management and all personnel should more
conscious about the proper compilations as well as decoration for keeping important files.
Every department should ensure the availability and proper maintenance of necessary
machines like photocopy and printing machines.
Management of the bank has to provide time to time recognition of their employee.
Moreover short probationary period and on time promotion motivated the employee to
perform well in their day to day activities. But the most important thing is the overall
motivational activities should be proceeding under fair judgment based on performance
rather internal politics. In addition through assurance of proper division of labor,
incentive for over duty and mandatory leave help to overcome huge working load and
enjoy a sound as well as healthy life. Besides good relationship amongst employee and
sound working environment also help the employee to be satisfied with their job.
They must prepare an organized set of plan regarding the advertising and promotional
activities which should include billboards, internet advertising and sponsorship. The sales
team and officers should provide periodic training on interacting and dealing with
different classes of potential and existing customers.
7. Ensure effective computer literacy:
As the bank is now mostly depends on computer therefore to increase the computer skills
of employees, the bank should provide training. Though they have knowledge about
computer but it is not enough. So bank should provide training to their employees to
make them efficient in computer.
Sheikght branch authorization should have to be more conscious and innovative in their
interior decoration to attract client from all ages. As Sylhet area is the business area so
the rush of client is the common scenario of this branch so the space should be extended
for conducting and performing sound banking activities, service as well.
62
9. Ensure internship desk and specific task:
This branch is renowned for the internship. So bank should provide the internship desk
and some specific task for gathering some real life experience which they can utilize in
their future job. Moreover small amount of remuneration should provide to internee for
realize their importance as well as motivate to perform the task properly.
During the three months of internship program at Janata Bank Sheikghat Branch almost
all.
62
7.2 Conclusion:
There are a number of nationalized and foreign banks operating their activities in Bangladesh.
Among them Janata Bank Limited is one of the leading commercial bank. Janata Bank Ltd
has introduced a new dimension in the field of innovative and benevolent banking in our
country. The bank has successfully made a positive contribution to the economy of
Bangladesh. Its profit is gradually increasing. It plays a great role in collecting scattered
The Bank ensures quality services to the customers. For better growth and healthy economic
position, it should introduce new and lucrative long-term credit schemes especially for new
I hope Janata Bank Ltd will do more work for socio-economic development besides their
banking business. To keep pace with ever-changing uncertain domestic business environment
and face the challenges of revised global economic scenario, the bank should be more pro-
active and responsive to introduce new marketing strategy to hold the strong position in home
and abroad.
For the future planning and the successful operation in its prime goal in this current
competitive environment I hope this report can provide a good guideline. I wish continuous
