auspices of the National Bank of Pakistan (1949) to deal with the post-trade crisis,
conditions, stalemate with India and deflation by the rupee. In 1949, the Bank was
created to increase credit to the agricultural sector.
The normal procedure for setting up a banking company under the Companies Act
was cancelled and the bank was created by the promulgation of an ordinance due to
the jute trade finance crisis.

imports/exports in the amount of 52.7 billion rupees while in 1960 this was only 1.54
billion rupees. The Bank has also played a key role in financing the growth of the

1.2. Introduction of National Bank
The National Bank of Pakistan is part of Pakistan's struggle for economic
independence. The National Bank of Pakistan was created on November 1949, under
the authority of the National Bank of Pakistan (1949) to deal with the crisis conditions
created after the stalemate with India and the devaluation of the Indian rupee. in 1949.
It was originally created the goal of extending credit to the agricultural sector.
The normal procedure for setting up a banking company under the Companies Act
was set aside and the bank was created by the promulgation of an ordinance due to the
crisis in the financing of the jute trade. The Bank began operations on November 20,
1949, in six major jute centres in East Pakistan at the time, and directed its resources
towards the financing of the jute harvest. The Bank's offices in Karachi and Lahore
then opened in December 1949. The National Bank of Pakistan opened its offices in
the cotton producing areas and extended generous credit facilities to Maintain its
market strength.
In 1951, the country was once again facing a cotton trade crisis as prices fell and
reached their lowest level since independence after the end of the conflict in Korea.
Bank co-operation with the Cotton Board provided the necessary credit facilities for
trade and the crisis was shaken. The nature of the Bank's responsibilities is different
and unique compared to other banks / financial institutions. The Bank acts as a
mediator with the State Bank of Pakistan for processing receipts and payments from
provincial and federal governments. The Bank has also played a leading role in
financing the growth of the country's trade, which has continued over the years as
diversification has taken place.

1.2.1. Vision
1.2.2. Mission
• NBP will aspire to the values that make NBP a truly national bank.
• Establishment of a culture of merit and performance.
• Create a distinctive brand identity by providing the highest standards of service.
• Adopt international best management practices.
• Maximize the value of stakeholders.
• Discharge our responsibilities as a corporate citizen of Pakistan and the countries in
which we operate.
The waivers in principle were approved by the bank's high-level credit committee on
the grounds that the plaintiff "is acting as chief justice of Pakistan," the NBP says.
The loan of Rs 8.9 million is repayable in 11 years at a profit margin rate of 9.25%,
instead of the Saibaan standard rate of 13%. Mr Abdul Hameed Dogar was sworn in
as Chief Justice of Pakistan on November 3, 2007, and applied for the loan two days
later, November 5, according to the NBP file available from Dawn. His current rate at
Standard Chartered Bank was 9.64%.
When contacted for comment, Abbas Zaidi, the Chief Justice's private secretary,
stated that he was aware of the matter but that obviously the Chief Justice could not
speak to the media. He said that only the clerk's office was allowed to comment on the
subject. The Registrar of the Supreme Court, Raja Lehrasib Khan, took the time to
consult, then responded by stating that the report was totally unfounded and that even
the NBP had denied the report. All Saibaan loans generate a profit margin of about
13%, but the loan to the Chief Justice has been extended at an unusually low rate of
9.25%. The credit committee of the bank has the power to reduce the 1% profit
4
margin for home country financing only based on a satisfactory credit history of at
least 12 months.

2. ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE
2.1. Organization structure of the branch
A well-developed and well-coordinated structure is an essential condition for the
success of any organization. It provides the vital structure within which functions and
procedures are performed. Every organization needs a structure that provides a
framework for successful operations. The functioning of an organization includes the
number of activities related to decision-making and the communication of those
decisions. These activities need to be well coordinated so that the objectives of the
organization are successfully achieved. An organization hierarchy chart is given in
figure 2.1 below:

Here, I observed the process of opening an account. I also learned the basic
requirements to open an account in NBP, which means that the customer establishes a
relationship between the bank and him. Like other banks, NBP also ensures that the
applicant requesting the account is a potential customer or not. After verification, the
occupation, integrity and nature of the applicant's business are determined by
references. The margin of error at this time is very small; a small mistake can lead to
bigger problems.
In order for the opening of the accounts to be concrete and orderly, the Pakistan
Federal Banking Officer asked all the banks to keep all the details and operations of
7
the account opening process, as well as all the details of the process. the person who
submitted the account. a customer at the bank. The applicant must be introduced or
referenced by another existing customer of the bank. The account holder's signatures
are recorded on the account opening forms and verified by the bank manager.
1. Account title
2. Full name of the applicant
3. Customer's profession
4. Customer's address
5. Customer's phone number
6. The currency of the account
7. Commercial nature
8. Name, address and number of the referring client
9. Accounts = special instructions
10. Amount to be deposited initially on the account
11. Signature of Applicant

Here, in the remittance service, I used to place payment orders, Demand Draft,
transaction forms, funds transfers, and Demand Draft Receipts. During these
transactions, I also kept a check on the customer's account as if it were closed or not.
1. Cross stamp
2. Manager stamp
Check clearance controls intra-city controls. These checks are first noted in a
newspaper; Here different numbers are assigned to these controls. After entering the
checks and giving them numbers, a Performa in which are recorded the details of the
shooter, the number of the check, the amount, who takes the money. After that, the
check is mailed with his Performa filled.
Here, I used to enter check data into the computer system to check whether the
account withheld this amount, after the check of the amount, the transaction was made
in the system and, as the bank was still using the old forms of record keeping, a record
is also kept and I entered the amount, the name of the person who withdraws the
money in case of open check, the date and the signature of the person who withdraws
the moneys it is other than the account holder, and stamped the check to declare it
take money at the counter and give a token to the customer and write the number of
the token on the check so that the counter can call the specific customer; here I felt the
need for the current banking system because it has automatic counters and computer
systems that are not available. in this branch of jobholders NBP.es, bills and other
bills to withdraw in the city and out of the city. Today, online banking is becoming
more and more popular for this purpose, but the branch where I trained did not have
this service.

Here, in the remittance service, I used to place payment orders, DDs, transaction
forms, funds transfers, and DDRs. During these transactions, I also kept a check on
the customer's account as if it were closed or not
2.3.5. Dispatcher
A dispatcher is a person who will perform the dispatching system. The dispatch
function determines who should do the work. A dispatcher knows how to keep official
documents and explore daily transactions.
In this type of dispatch system, the dispatch service sends the transaction directly to
the other branches. It Maintains a complete record of each transaction of each
function. It has the following advantages.
1. As a communication dispatcher.
2. As a computer-assisted dispatcher.
3. Perform the duties of a shift supervisor/master dispatcher.
4. Government Department (Pension) Assume the functions of the dispatcher to
Maintain daily transactions.
10
2.3.6. Foreign exchange and advanced loans
In the current banking system, the foreign exchange service plays a vital role in all
functions. It parallels the general banking sector with additional import and export
functions. Foreign currencies are controlled by the State Bank of Pakistan. The rules
and regulations are defined by SBP. In the Advanced Loans section, I used to check
customers who had not yet paid their loans and their profit margin to the bank. Each
of these clients has been followed and called. If the payment is made, everything is
flat. but if the customer does not pay the amount, the bank blames him. I have worked
to provide loans to different clients under different schemes; Mainly the Rozgar diet
was targeted. I used to write loan reports, which contained all customer data and the
number of their loans to head office monthly.
NBP also manages international banking through its foreign exchange department. All
transactions are made at the rate authorized by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). To
this end, the US dollar has been set by SBP and the rate of other currencies is
calculated in accordance with the formula approved by SBP and published daily by
Foreign Exchange.
Rates Committee in Karachi. The head office of NBP ensures that branches receive
the rates published by the exchange rate committee on the same day. Currency
payment mechanism.
I spent a week of internship in the government pensions section. Here two types of
pensions are granted to pensioners.
The pension is paid to the pensioners at each date of the month. Each retiree has his or
her own copy of the pension showing all the details of the pension, including the date
of receipt, the amount of money and any increase if approved by the government.
I used to fill in the pensioner's pension book, check the previous pension records to
see when the last pension was taken, because the Government of Pakistan was
11
constantly changing the percentages of the pensioner's pension, I had the used to
calculate the gap in their pensions and pension board's updated pension book. Here, I
made sure that the holder himself was receiving the pension to ensure transparency. I
used to sign their pension form with the tickets and approve the cash payment. The
first week of the month is still busy and the bank was full of pensioners, there were no
special arrangements for the elderly and the ladies, people came from far away to
receive their pensions and the bank was not even enough benches to entertain them.
The recent increase in the pension of the retired government. employees are listed
below. Retired retiree before 31-11-2000 20% increase Retired pensioner after 31-11-
2000, 15% increase A medical allowance is also granted to the pensioner according to
the following ratio. Retirees retired below 15% increase.
At each stage in the chain, one person has several employees directly under them,
within their span of control. NBP organization structure is flat hierarchical
organisation has few levels vertical integrated. In this structure that simplifies, clarify
authority, responsibility and accountability relationship. It promotes fast decision
making and simple to understand. The branch structure is also a vertical hierarchy
structure that’s simple to understand with clear lines of authority.

15
4. TRAINING PROGRAM
During my internship at NBP, I found that the theoretical concepts I studied at SALU
were applied throughout most of the industry. The theory and examples I studied in
financial accounting of bank reconciliation, ledgers and balance sheets were actively
and strictly followed. The defined hierarchy of the organization has been strictly
followed. The POLCA (Plaining, Organizing, Leading, Controlling and Assurance)
function was at its best, the Bank Manager plans the controls, defines the workflow
and ensures that the staff do their best. I noticed that our manager was following the X
theory while observing carefully all the activities of the staff and that he was also
sometimes angry. The activities mentioned above have allowed me to gain experience
and learning opportunities. The manager worked as a real leader and guided the team
very positively, sometimes as an angry man and he respected all the rules and
regulations so that I could say he was a very strict manager.
4.1.2. Operations
These both functional areas are working under the supervision Operations: Operations

5. REFLECTIVE JOURNAL ENTRIES
5.1. First week
I have joined the NBP on 19thJune 2019, at the very first day I was nervous but when
I entered in the bank and I saw my university fellows sitting there and my feeling was
like “Ooh thank God”. After our introduction with branch manager sir Khadim Ali
Soomro he called all the staff members and introduce with us, these all were calm and
kind persons, from my first day we are required to sign the internship form provided
by the bank with our CNIC copies for the formal procedure. We are required to come
at 9 am and could leave the bank at 5 pm, from 19th June to 13th August2019. I joined
the desk of Account opening officer Sir Lal Bux. conduct daily session with us and
brief us about the account opening ways how to open accounts of the customers we
understand easily as well as his own work responsibilities mostly he was busy for
account opening because the new appointment of constables ‘these accounts are
required urgently so that’s purpose he was busy mostly in work , the most busy man
I saw in the bank, because all the time his desk was filled with files and crowd of
customers are there, so first thing he taught to us is to fill account opening form on
system for customer and place stamps on it, it was quite easy to work just I have to
check the information from CNIC and verity’s and enter into the form, then he
assigned me a few forms to fill when he get satisfied with my work it’s become my
routine work to fill the various account opening documents and place stamps on them
this will continue till the end of the internship, branch manager was very satisfied
with our work. In the first week, I observed in bank, there is no discrimination among
employees, and they work in a friendly environment and they worked in collaborate
way.
My learning insight after the first-week training of internship at the bank I have
realized that how the professional life goes on, and there are no hard and fast rules to
be professional, the bank employees are working informally in a friendly
environment, and dully follow a code of conduct in their work tasks. I came to know
about the daily activities performed at banks such as register Maintenance and
clearing process, how things actually did apart from the courses and definitions we
had studied, it is something new and more comprehensive, everyone was required to
complete the work and no skip was allowed this is what organizations known for, I
19
am not familiar with this setup before and I learnt a lot from that which will be useful
if I will get a job in a bank. I observed NBP Provide many products with different
forms like Agriculture gold loan, property loan, advance salary loan, business loan
etc. to facilitate customer by charging different rates and they provide easy loan
facilities.
20
accountability, despite really boring work I didn’t get bored because time to time sir
explain his professional life experiences with me that was really energizing for me.
After working at Sir Naeem, I went to the cash officer Sir Kamran. I asked from him
how he was collecting cash and Maintaining the register. He said to me “firstly I
21
collect amount then I signed and stamp on challan copies the I collect amount from
customer after completion of my procedure I give bills and challan copies to the
customers then I Maintain each and every transaction on register I also worked in the
cash department in which I learnt how to collect cash and manual function each
department
How to fill CDR (Call deposit receipt), Cheque, deposit slim etc.
Recording document procedure for audit purpose.
How to collect cash.
I still decided to work in the remittances and bill collection department there was a lot
to do and learn and this is the desk where the customer first come and get interaction.
From this week we start work practically. Sir Zafar Abbas Dasti taught me how to fill
the deposit slip, Demand draft, call deposit, Policies and other documents. In this
week he also told about clearing services how NIFT works in these services and told
about stamps in different documents.
My learning insight this week offered me the experience of official working, I felt like
I was also the employee of the bank assistant of Sir Zafar Abbas Dasti. There were a
lot of tasks to complete and most of the tasks assigned to me were account opening,
account inquiries, clearing and register Maintenance. These all activities completed on
a single desk and there was the huge.
22
5.6. Sixth week
The sixth week started from Monday 24th August 2019.This week I went to Sir Lal
Bux. He was getting cheque book requests and disused cheque books. I also learned
chequebook issuances and ATM requests from him. I also learned Lal Bux how to put
the customers detailed and account number ids and then tag to the head office.
Cheque book of the customer is sent within sixth weeks from head office. After
learning of chequebook system I also tagged the customer'sids to the head office. I
successfully completed the task assigned to me.
My learning insight in this week I learned a lot about the chequebook and ATM. I
briefly discussed the process of ATM application and about ATM machinelike. how
we will keep money in the machine and how much daily transaction customer can be
made. The limit of ATM machine daily amount was 500000.
23
Verification of the amount.
Give the customer a token and write the token number on the cheque can call the
specific customer.
In overallactivities, I learn the many things and contact with me branch manager,
team leader and field officers. I saw in the bank our branch manager sir Ghulam
Abbas's shah number of customers guiding at a time I am also observing him its
motivate the customer but manager have international skills he have a powerful
person he was not bonding the employees there are working in the organization
.my connection with other learning I learned from other bank branches managers.
They are coming on a daily basis and meetings with our manager they are
discussing the position of banking products and services may be they have given
target to complete within month our branch manager mostly says we have given a
target he is also discussing with all employees how to complete all operation
department employees giving different suggestion to manager but in our months
remaining its target was completed from given state bank other thing a see in other
banks manager they are depositing money in the NBP on daily basis or weekend
basis according to my hypothesis the other banks depositing cash in the national
bank because they have not much more amount for depositing .
24
5. 11. Evaluate
According to my observation in the banking sector, the information technology
plays a vital role and it manages the banks system, infrastructure of the bank,
replacing old 48 Hardware, provision of secondary links also renewing the
software and services. Management also working timely and given the task to
complete the specific time. Management focuses on to enhance the wealth of
clients in the shape of different product offering.
According to my observation the national bank employees are hard worker they are
completing work two days’ work within one day they are also showing the
efficiency and our branch manager completed two-month target successfully
manager is also effective but sometimes he was showing a lazy in work because
operation manager doing his work continuously. According to my opinion the
employees of NBP branch are not cooperating with each other I discuss each and
every employee and ask about another employee what is his behaviour in the
organization or work performance he replied it’s not a good employee he is
thinking about yourself but no other people are not good behaving with employees
but all the employees are not satisfied with one another that’s all it's my real
feelings.
I started the internet on his pc because I was no any kind of work in bank after
sometime the operation manager entered in operation manager room where I was
operating internet his seem to me come on my set and ask from me who are you I
say I am trainee student because his new appointment in branch I don’t know about
him he is a new operation manager he said to me what are you doing here I say,
sir, I am operating an internet because no any kind of bank work he says to me
shutdown pc I say why sir ?
I say shutdown pc because no anyone use internet on office pc and asked me what
you have learnt I give him answer confidently I know all about the bank work you
are free to ask me any kind of question when he went back I replied him sorry sir
then I leave the room this is my simple but remember story in my life .

6. Critical Analyses
This part of the report is the importance of the internship, as it will help to better
understand the bank's work environment by finding the relationship between what is
written in the books and what happens in the fields. In this practical work we have
learned number of things in these fields because some of the important thing we
learned in the nap branch but we have learned number of topics in the course of BBA
but in practical field I have not learned every topic theory is much more different as
compare to practical work and I observed in the branch we are doing practically it
also totally changes from theory the practice field is very interesting as compared to
the theory we reading books change we have required to read those things valuable
for all over life but number of change topics in fieldwork are easy to read write and do
work.
The theory written in the books in cases is not implemented as it is. In some cases, the
theory is implemented with a little modification but in other cases, the theory has
nothing to do with practice. The theory and practiceare totally different from some
topics. In accounting, banks don’t prepare worksheet, but part of the worksheet is
prepared like trial balance. The securities for the loans are handled in the same way as
theory says like mortgage, pledge, hypothecation, advances against insurance policies
or liquidation procedure is the same.
There is some difference lies in types of loans in bank that is theory talks about four
or five types of loans that is cash finance, overdraft, loans etc., but in practice there
are some more types used by bank like running finance, demand finance etc. the
remittances process was easy to do all the information of receiver can was put into
system and we are interring a global I.D in the system provided us all detailed of
receiver then we are providing a token to customers than they are taking amount from
cash officer number of Pakistani peoples doing a job in Saudi Arab they are sending
amount .

7.5. Problems faced by branch
During my internship at this branch of the National Bank of Pakistan, I found that the
following issues directly affected the efficiency and performance of the bank. These
problems are also called internal problems. So, they discuss below.
During the period of my internship, I found that this problem was the most important:
they are not very effective for the communication between them. They do not share
the experience with management and employees. The National Bank of Pakistan (a
branch of the Tech Society) lacks communication skills among employees. If an
employee has each other and does not care about the other problem, then he asked
another, but he did not give a clear solution to this problem. They are showing facial
expressions against each other. Pension managers and other employees always try to
earn cash rewards and use the referrals to get them. They talk to each other in front of
30
me. So, ultimately, it is very necessary for a utility organization to Maintain a friendly
atmosphere.
There is also a big problem, they think that the bank of his government does not care
about customers. It's a bad perception. There must be good public relations in the
organization of the public service. If a customer asked a question twice. They get
angry with him and stop working. I have personally lived in the pensions department.
The pension manager (M. Rafique ali) has respect for the former pensioner and has
used the best language against them. The same is true in executive invoices (Mr
Rafique) is also angry at the customers, when they asked the question twice, so should
be solving this problem to create a good environment for the NBP.
Computing skills are also low, some executive is very efficient in computing skills,
but some are not totally aware of this system. For example, ATM machine at this
branch is only handled to Risaldar Ali operation manager. When the operation
manager is on leave due to a heart patient, ATM machine is off not worked because
nobody knows to run this machine. Western Union is not worked effectively. The
person who handled western Union is careless and other employees are not taken
interest in that field. So, there is western Union for just name it does not work.

8. Conclusions
In the light of SWOT analysis, I am concluding here NBP branch the strength of NBP
shows us the world best foreign exchange bank the Main important thing is that NBP
providing one facility to put all data of customers in the system and providing
remittances facilities to the customers an easy way.
The national bank strength to providing huge capital as compare to other branches our
branch generating a large scale capital as compare to other private branches of MAIN
because of our city is a business area the NBP 10 best bank in profit of the world .all
the functions are provided by through the behalf of state bank of Pakistan the
national bank of Pakistan providing salaries to the government employees and
advance salaries loans where it's earning much more.
The structure of national bank is very good in some branches staff of NBP skilled and
qualified but in our branch is not fully skilled employees the number of weaknesses in
our branch the lowest internal control because of manager laziness’ all the employees
not cooperating with each other they are not friendly treat to the customer some
employees are strict in our branch that’s problem number of customer not satisfied
from NBP services if you will ask from there the mostly link down of NBP and
number of another technological problems in the organization the employees of our
branch not coming in formal dress the number of employees was not degree holders
in the branch they are working on contract basis the national bank of Pakistan main
have number of opportunities to avail get good return from them The National Bank
of Pakistan has effective budgeting system in place. The annual budget of the bank is
