                                                   INTRODUCTION

1. Introduction of Bank

A. Origin and Meaning of Bank:
Origin of Bank:
Various thinker and economists have forwarded different ideas regarding the origin of banks. The English word bank is said to have been originated from the Latin word 'Bancus' which means 'bench'. The Italian gold smiths used to sit on benches to do their business of money exchange and gold and silver trading during ancient times. The words for bench were 'Banck' in German, 'Banca' in Italian and 'Banquee' in French, from which it was used as 'Bank' in English language.

French writer Revilpot says “banks and currency notes were in use even around 600 B.C. at Babylonia.”

Indigenous bankers and moneylenders operated in India during the Vedic Period. Those were the earliest forms of banking in the world.

Banking was institutionalized as it passed through several developmental stages. The earlier banks operated non‑individual level. The history of modern banks starts from the establishment of the Bank of Venice, established in Venice, in Italy, in 1157. Later on Bank of Barcelona was established in Spain in 1401 and Bank of Genoa was established in 1407 and Bank of Amsterdam in 1607, Bank of Hamburg in 1619. The Bank of England was established in 1694. The development of bank took a primary position during the 18th century with the Industrial revolution starting in Europe. By the century, almost all the countries had their own banks.





Nepal Bank Limited was established under the Nepal Bank Limited Act 1937. Nepal Rastra Bank, the central bank of Nepal was established in 1956.

Crowther describes Merchants, Moneylenders and Goldsmiths as the three ancestors of modern banking as.

MERCHANTS:

Merchants were the first ancestors of modern banks. In the beginning the merchants used to trade in gold and silver coins, exchange foreign currencies, accepting the deposits of gold, silver and other valuables to provide securities and issuance of receipt letters etc. due to prestige and trust earned by the merchants, the receipts issued by them were considered as good as paper currency notes. These letters gave birth to modern negotiable instruments.

MONEY LENDERS:

Money lenders were the second ancestors of modern banks. Earlier, men used to borrow money from others for their personal use. The creditors used to give loans from their own capital. Gradually people started depositing their own money with the moneylenders for security as well as earning interest on their idle money with the moneylenders. This will lead to an expansion in the work‑field of these moneylenders. The main occupation of became to accept deposits and give away loans. The relatives and family members of experienced and qualified moneylenders took up this work,

GOLDSMITH:

The last ancestor of modern banking constituted of goldsmiths. The profession of the goldsmiths demanded the use of strong and reliable safes. The people would deposit their money, gold, silver and other valuables with the goldsmiths. The goldsmiths would issue receipts and charge some money as commission for providing security to the valuables of the customers. Such deposits would be retained at demand. Through experience, the goldsmiths learned that all the money deposited were not demanded at once, hence, they started investing such money against security deposits and also started paying some interest to the depositors. This led to a great expansion of the work‑field of the goldsmiths. The receipts issued by goldsmiths were transferred from one person to another and was used as a medium of exchange of money. This custom is said to have led to the discovery and use of paper currency notes. This way goldsmith started the functions of banks of accepting deposits, giving loans and creating credits a very long time back.
                            
Meaning of Bank:

Bank is the financial institution that deals with the monetary transactions. It is the financial institution with an aim to accumulate the idle money of the general public and advancing to their profit sectors. In order to collect the money, banks offer attractive rate of return for their savings. Bank then mobilizes their deposits in providing loan facility to the general public, business houses, industries, and agriculture and other needy sectors by charging some interest. In this way the main objective of the bank is to mobilize idle resources in a productive area after collecting from different scattered sources. Thus banks through their operation act as a mediator between the saver and the investors and generate profits for self-existence.

The functions of modern banking system are multifarious in nature and owing to the shift in emphasis of the functions of banks a different stage of development, different economists have defined banking in different ways.

Economist Name
                                           Definition
Prof. R. S.      Syers
Bank is an institution whose debts (bank deposits) are widely accepted in settlement of other peoples debts to each other
  Prof. Kinle
Bank is an establishment which makes to individual such as advances of money as may be required and safely made to and to which individuals entrust money when not required by them for use.
Dr. H.L. Hart
provides a slightly different definition when he says, "A banker is one who in the ordinary course of his business, receives money which he pays by honoring ordinary course of his business, receives money which he pays by honoring
Geoffrey      Crowther
Bank is an establishment which makes to individual such as advances of money as may be required and safely made to and to which individuals entrust money when not required by them for use















All the above economists have concentrated on one or a few functions of banks. Banks, as such, can be described early and briefly as institutions which dear in money and credit.

Thus, banks are those institutions whose functions are related with; creation of money and credit, acceptance of deposits from the people, forwarding of loans, transfer of money, and agency functions to customers, etc. The exclusive functions of banks of creation of credit have earned them the title of 'Factories of Credit.'


B.Historical Development of Banking in Nepal:
As in other countries of the world, goldsmiths and landlords were the ancient bankers of Nepal. Though "Tejarath Adda" carried out not all the banking activities established during the tenure of the then Prime Minister Rannodip Singh in 1993 BS was the first step towards the institutional development of banking in Nepal. "Tejerath Adda" did not collect deposits from the public but gave loans to employees and public against bullion.

 Banking in true sense of term started with the inception of Nepal Bank Limited on 30th Kartik 1994 B.S. (1937 A.D.) under Nepal Bank Act. Similarly to developed banking sector and to formulate monetary policies, Nepal Rastra Bank was set up in 2013 B.S. (26th help the government April 1956) under 1956 special act. Then the second commercial bank of bank of Nepal "Rastriya Banijya Bank" was established in 2022 B.S. (1959 A.D.). NIDC was established in 2016 B.S. in order to develop industrial sector and with a view to promote the development and modernization of the agricultural sector of the kingdom of Nepal, the Agriculture Development Bank was established in the year 2024 B.S.

In 2042 BS government adopted liberal economic policy and allowed for the establishment of joint venture banks under collaboration with different foreign banks. Following are the joint venture banks, which are operating in the kingdom of Nepal.

C. Meaning of Commercial Bank:

A commercial bank is a type of bank that provides services such as accepting deposits, making business loans, and offering basic investment products.Commercial bank can also refer to a bank or a division of a bank that mostly deals with deposits and loans from corporations or large businesses, as opposed to individual members of the public (retail banking).

In the US the term commercial bank was often used to distinguish it from an investment bank due to differences in bank regulation. After the great depression, through the Glass–Steagall Act, the U.S. Congress required that commercial banks only engage in banking activities, whereas investment banks were limited to capital markets activities. This separation was mostly repealed in the 1990s.

 Functions of commercial banks:

2.Introduction of the Subject (Deposit):

Development of trade, commerce and industry are the requisite for the attainment of the economic, social and political goals of any country, is based on macroeconomics. To fulfill the purpose of planning, financial function more often dominates the other function. But there is always lack of finance because the national resources are not fully utilized for the productive purposes in developing countries. In developing countries for rapid development of the economy there should be proper mobilization of resources. Commercial banks play very important role in mobilizing the resources in any developing country by removing the habit of hoarding, developing the banking habit among the people, collecting the small scattered resources in one bulk and utilizing the in further productive purpose and, consumable and even to the need of the government. Commercial banks credit in the desired sectors constituting the significant part of the activities.
          
Now a day, there are different commercial banks emerging to contribute in national economy. The term commercial bank is used for those types of institutes, which are mainly concerned for the development of trade, commerce and industry, which are the prime requisites for the attainment of economic, social and political purpose of the country. Financial services are fuel to provide energy to move the vehicle of economic growth.

Thus, commercial banks are the main institutions, which are meant for the collection and utilizion of small‑scattered savings of the people. The commercial banks utilize the collected resources by financing in productive, distributive the main function of the banks is to accept money spread in the general public as deposit and utilize the collected resources properly. General public deposits their savings for safety and they also get interest in advancement. Not only this, they can withdraw their money when they need. Deposit, is the savings of people or even of industrialists, which in not required for them in the very moment, which is accepted, by banks and later on they get interest.

Deposit accounts are also one of the important sources of banks' funds, in order to attract customers the banks offer attractive facilities to different types of deposits account holders. In order to avoid miniature expenses of our daily life among society banks has been providing sound interests because of the hard global competition and they need deposits like raw materials in production process.

The depositor is given cheques facility. Presently the rate of interest offered by commercial banks in Nepal on saving deposit account is 2 to 3 % p.a.; however, the individual bankers are always free to offer high rates.

3.Objective of the study:
There are serious handicaps in economic development, which arises from capital deficiency. Under these circumstances banks and other financial institution can play an important role and remove the difficulty of capital by stimulating savings and investment. In Nepal, people are generally motivated to invest in real estates, jewelry, foreign exchange and speculative activities, which is not desirable for economy and social point of view. It might be due to the lack of banking and financial institutions and their information. If there will be enough banking facilities such resources can be converted in active capital and productive sectors which otherwise remain unproductive, ideal or unutilized. In order to meet economic development banking system has to undergo certain changes in its structure and organization. A strong financial structure is important in influencing the deposit collection and mobility.

4.Significance of study:
Deposit collection is one of the main problems of under‑developed county like Nepal. Due to various difficulties or even ignorance of the people of under‑developed countries such resources have not been utilized such as by hoarding. Hoarding, the bad habit of the society, is one of the main problems. So, bank like Nepal SBI Bank Ltd. plays vital role for accepting and, in turn, mobilizing the resources and removing the habit of hoarding in pursue of rapid economic growth, and make them habit of banking. The scattered resources are collected in one bulk and mobilizing them in production purpose and even for providing other services to its member and to the society. The main function of the Nepal SBI Bank Ltd is to:

Accept the Deposit:

Deposits are the lifeblood of the Nepal SBI Bank Ltd. as well as finance companies too. For that, Nepal SBI Bank Ltd. accepts deposits and flows it in different sectors i.e. loans and advances etc. But without utilizing the resources Nepal SBI Bank Ltd. could not be able to repay the deposits including interest dividend to shareholders and could not recover the operating expenses. Therefore, it should utilize the deposits in proper way for maintaining the Nepal SBI Bank Ltd. entity and its members' welfare. Before the mobilization of the deposits, there should be deposit itself. Nepal SBI Bank Ltd. should collect the small‑scattered savings as deposits first and get them ready for the mobilization. So, the study focused on deposits only. Mainly, the study consists of deposits position and briefs about its significant utilization and covers to the position and the characteristics of such deposits which has been mobilized as loan and advances and a glimpse of interest rates as the Nepal SBI Bank Ltd. is currently providing to its depositors as well as the rates of interest take from the loan and advances.

5.Limitation of the study:
The internship period was completed gaining lots of knowledge and experiences but there were some restrictions which somehow restricted or limited the comprehensive study. Those limitations are listed below:

·  Data presentation is one of the most important factors in discussing the problem, due to thedependency upon secondary data the problem cannot be expressed in desired form.
·  The data presentation of deposits is limited to the period of 2064/65 BS to 2069/70 BS.  Although, the study is made of Nepal SBI Bank Ltd., Bargachhi branch but the data is presented from company annual report (study of the whole company).
·  The deep analysis could not be done due to time constraint.

Moreover, Nepal SBI Bank Ltd. renders many services to its customers. However, the main service of them is to accept deposits. Although, Nepal SBI Bank Ltd. is advancing many other facilities to its customers and finally to the economy of the country, those aspects are ignored due to the unavailability of the data, lack of time as well as the confidentiality of the concerned institution and they may be broad enough for this study. So, the case study is limited to deposits only and excludes other aspects. Due to the cutthroat competition of banking in Nepal, these days the officials' does not provide us the confidential.

We know,
Mean    = A + Id
                                R (number of fiscal year)

So, by using formula we can calculate Mean of CDA, SDA and FDA

X (CDA) = 951+ 2179.90= 521.82
                             6
Hence, the Mean of CDA is 521.82

Y (SDA) = 902.76+ 768.02 = 278.46
                          6
Hence, the Mean of SDA is 278.46

Z (FDA) =2420.29+ 1781.99 = 700.38
                            6  
Hence, the Mean of FDA is 700.38
Mean is the sum of all the observations divided by the number of observations. The mean of CDA is 521.82, SDA is 278.46 & FDA is 700.38. It is the average amount that the typical value around which most of the data tends to cluster.

We have,
Mean (CDA) = 951
Mean (SDA) = 902.76
Mean (FDA) = 2420.29
                                        
      Standard Deviation =      (K-k) 2
                                                    N
       So, by using formula we can calculate standard deviation of CDA, SDA and FDA

      (CDA)             2387428.25 = 630.80
                                    6                                                                             

      Hence, the Standard Deviation of CDA is 630.80
                                                                      
      (SDA)             850880.65 = 376.58
                                      6

     

 Hence, the Standard Deviation of SDA is 376.58

                                                             
      (FDA)          1711837.77 = 534.14
                                      6
Hence, the Standard Deviation of FDA is 534.14

Standard Deviation is defined as the positive square root of the Mean of the square of the Deviation taken from Arithmetic Mean. It is said to be the best measure of dispersion as it satisfy most of the requisites of the good measure of dispersion. The Standard Deviation of CDA is 630.80, SDA is 376.58, and FDA is 534.14


Coefficient of Variation of Current Deposit Account (CDA), Saving Deposit Account (SDA) & Fixed Deposit Account (FDA):

We have,
A (CDA) = 951                            SD (CDA) = 630.80
A (SDA) = 902.76                       SD (SDA) = 376.58
A (FDA) = 2420.29                     SD (FDA) = 534.14
                                                                  
We know,
Coefficient of Variation (CV= SD * 100 %). so, by using Formula of Coefficient of Variation
                                                               X

 We can calculate (CV) of CDA, SDA and FDA

CV (CDA) =                         630.80 * 100 % = 66.33%
                                               951                           
Hence, The Coefficient of Variation of the CDA is 66.30 %

CV (SDA) =                         376.58 * 100% = 41.71%
                                               902.76                                                                         

Hence The Coefficient of Variation of the SDA is 41.71%

CV (FDA) =                       534.14   * 100 % = 22.07%
                                              2420.29

Hence, The Coefficient of Variation of the FDA is 22.07%

The Coefficient of Variation of dispersion is based of Standard Deviation multiplied by 100 is known as the Coefficient of Variation. It is an independent unit. So the distribution can be better being compared with the help of Coefficient of Variation of their variability. Less the Coefficient of Variation, more will be the uniformity, consistency, etc and more the Coefficient of Variation less will be the uniformity, consistency, etc. Here, the Coefficient of Variation of CDA is 66.33 %, Coefficient of Variation of SDA is 41.71% and Coefficient of Variation of FDA is 22.07%. The lowest Coefficient of Variation is of FDA and highest is of CDA and FDA is in pendulum. Now it is obvious, the FDA of Nepal SBI Bank Ltd. is more uniform and consistent than CDA and SDA. CDA of Nepal SBI Bank Ltd. is less consistent and uniform than SDA and FDA, SDA is pendulum in comparison with FDA and CDA.

4. Five Forces Model:
Porter's Five Forces is a framework for industry analysis and business strategy development formed by Michael E. Porter of Harvard Business School in 1979. Three of Porter's five forces refer to competition from external sources. The remainders are internal threats. Porter referred to these forces as the micro environment, to contrast it with the more general term macro environment. They consist of those forces close to a company that affect its ability to serve its customers and make a profit. A change in any of the forces normally, requires a business unit to re-assess the market place given the overall change in industry information. The overall industry attractiveness does not imply that every firm in the industry will return the same profitability. Firms are able to apply their core competencies, business model or network to achieve a profit above the industry average. A clear example of this is the airline industry. As an industry, profitability is low and yet individual companies, by applying unique business models, have been able to make a return in excess of the industry average.

Analysis of NSBL in relation to Five Forces Model:

The banking industry is very competitive as a number of commercial and development banks are growing. The rivalry in banking sector is neck and there is cut throat competition among the banks and bankers.

There are many ‘A’ class commercial banks in Nepal which gives cut throat competition to NSBL. The main compititors of NSBL are ‘A’ class commercial banks and some well established Development Banks. With the privatization in the banking sector many new banks with modern technologies and competent human resource are coming to the market which is a threat to NSBL.

With the many banks in the industry delivering similar kinds of services to customers, customers are being king of the market and fulfilling their expectation should be the prime objectives of NSBL to retain existing customers and attract new ones. Identifying potential customers and catering to their need to their level of expectation should be main objectives of NSBL.

Substitute product in case banking sector could be other financial institutions that provide similar kind of services and facilities to customers. For NSBL threat from substitute products could be those well established finance compies who offere high interest to customers in deposits and lends high sum of amount by charging comperatively low rate of interest.

The main stakeholder of NSBL are government and Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) who have keen interest in the functioning of commercial banks. Government policies and rules of Nepal Rastra Bank greatly affect the functioning of NSBL as it has to operate accordingly with the directions given by NRB.

As the ATM cards of NSBL come directly from India, it takes minimum 40 days to deliver cards to the customer. Visa card is provided to the customer, which can be used in any ATM machines. The ATM card is delivered to the account holder only but in some special cases where the customer is not able to come to receive the card he or she must fill the authorization form for giving authority to other person to receive the card of account holder.

Account statements are the statement that shows the transactions done by the respective account number in certain period of time. Customers come frequently to get the account statement to know their remaining balances, their all deposits and withdrawals. It helps them to analyze their withdrawals and deposits properly. But there is limitation in giving the statement and that is statements can be issued only up to last three and maximum six months upon the due request from the customer. To get the account statement the customer must fill the statement slip placed in the customer desk of the bank which includes the information like account number, name of the account holder, signature of the account holder, and time duration i.e. from when to which date to issue the statement. In case if the customer want a more official statement of the account then balance certificate is issued to them by charging them certain amount.

Summary and Conclusion:

An efficient bank can contribute a great deal to nation's overall economic development through efficient allocation of financial resources. It plays vital role in meeting financial need of the people as well as country, which becomes more diverse and complete as the economy develops. For the economic development without inflationary pressure in the economy, mobilizations as well as canalization of resources in the productive sectors are important but for this important fact are that the deposit should be collected first. No doubt bank play a crucial role for the economic development. These types of institution are most important for accelerating economic growth in the country. It is quite true that a strong banking institution is of great need for developing country like ours because all the economic condition are based on the banking institution and development of the country as well as general public depends upon the active participation of the banking institution in the different activities in the country.

This study confine to a bank, 'Nepal SBI Bank Ltd'. In this study area, deposits of the general public are the main resources of Nepal SBI Bank Ltd. funds. They are facilitating the depositors by providing a bit higher rate of interest on deposits. In this study, it was found that deposits are collected sufficient to fulfill their internal and external obligations.

During the period Nepal SBI Bank Ltd. has become able to collect Total amount of Rs.17836391892 in Fixed Deposit Account, Rs.8324015437 in Current Deposit Account and Rs.6530199236 in Saving Deposit Account. The above data shows that Fixed Deposit Account is more than double of Current Deposit Account. It is obvious, individual people like to deposit money for safety. On the other hand, it also reflects that individual people are not interested to invest their money in any productive sectors, they are idling their money. Similarly, in the Current Deposit Account too, deposit is high which reflects the same not investing habit of Nepalese people. Nepalese people are extremely interested to invest money in jewelry, real state, etc. Due to such habit of Nepalese, investment activities in productive sectors are not practiced as a result economy of Nepal is becoming worse day by day.

The basic purpose of the fieldwork is to study the depository services provided by Nepal SBI Bank Ltd. its position and interest rates. It has become successful in collecting sufficient deposits from public by providing different types of deposit accounts suitable for every type of customers. It is providing sound interest so as to attract the customers. It has become successful in collecting huge deposits in Current Deposit Account, Saving Deposit Account and Fixed Deposit Account.

In the conclusion, we can say that Nepal SBI Bank Ltd. has become successful in collecting sufficient deposits.


4.3 Recommendation and Suggestion:
During the visit to the Nepal SBI Bank Ltd., it was exciting as well as interesting too. The staffs were very kind, friendly and helpful. They proved themselves as a kind‑hearted person by providing all the information and data, which are needed for my research work without any hesitation.

Although the bank is operating or functioning efficiently, the bank has to consider about certain factors in order to function more efficiently and effectively to survive in this competitive environment. Some of them are:

1.   It should expand its branches in the remote areas, which will help to mobilize internal savings of the country.
2.    It should use advanced technologies like ATM machines to provide prompt services to the customers.
3.  It should launch new products like Credit Card, facility so as to attract new the customers.
4.   It should try to increase deposit capacity in all the accounts by providing different attractive prizes to the customer.
5.    It should provide prompt services by providing 24 hours banking facility, more counters, less legal procedure for drawing loan.
6.   It should provide 365‑day service from all its braches as provided by the New Road branch to its customers.

Lastly, Nepal SBI Bank Ltd. should carry on with its quality services to the country with loyalty and devotion. I wish for its bright future.
