Preface
Being a student of commerce in University of Sargodha, it is an integral and
inevitable part of my studies to get internship in the organizations to get oriented
with the corporate culture to learn the ethics and conventions applied there. This
provides the student an immense opportunity to evaluate themselves in the
practically exercised philosophies where the students come by a chance to explore
their qualities and pin point the loop holes which can give rise to some problems in
their future and to rectify these weak areas before they may assume alarming
proportions.
I have completed my internship in the National Bank of Pakistan, Main Branch
Civil Lines, Sargodha. Where I got this opportunity to observe the difference
between the theoretical and practical worlds from a very close quarter as to there
lies a gulf between the theoretical and applied approaches. Whatever can be learned
from can be rarely been had from the theory only.

Executive Summary
Internship is very important for us, the students of commerce. It does not only provide
us with the best opportunity to experience the rituals of corporate sector, but also helps
us to enhance our observation about how things move around us. Spending a short
period of 6 weeks with Pakistan’s one of the best-known employer and leading banks
was a fantastic experience for me. I gained a handsome extent of practical knowledge
there. This all added a lot into my exposure and self-grooming.
To become successful in practical life, practical knowledge and experience is very
much important. Because course contents and lectures just give us theoretical concepts
but not practical knowledge. This is the basic reason why students of M.com are
required to spent six to eight weeks in diverse organizations to learn the work ethics of
organizations and gain practical knowledge.
This internship report is based on my six weeks spent working and learning in National
Bank of Pakistan, Main Branch Sargodha. The report discusses overview of National
Bank of Pakistan and my work therein. It illustrates history of the bank and the
departments of the organization. Practical work during internship period in various
departments is also discussed. I learned about export department working, various types
of accounts and clearing process. In the end findings and recommendations are given
for improvements.

syndications, structured financing and debt / capital raising transactions with the
objective of providing entire range of corporate and investment banking solutions to
its valued clients under one umbrella.

transactions in cement, energy, communication and fertilizer sectors. In addition to
the funded income, our corporate and investment banking has substantially increased
its fee base income this year by being the lead advisor in a number of transactions in
the corporate world of Pakistan
The challenges to corporate business in year 2007 were manifold including reduction
in Private Credit Investment as a result of slowing down of economy as well as rising
interest rates. The increasing pressure on the textile industry reduced the lending to
this sector. In addition the bank's corporate loans yields also faced pressure as
substitute form of funding sources are available in the market in form of Islamic
financing, mutual funds, issuance of debt instruments like TFCs and Bonds and the
Capital markets.
Despite these threats and challenges at NBP, our corporate team not only increased
the volume as well as the yield of the loans they also maintained a strong franchise
with the leading Pakistani corporate so as to ensure that NBP not only maintains its
market share but is in a position to meet any challenges in future. NBP during the year
also participated in a number of TFC issues and mutual funds subscriptions thereby
increasing the overall yield on investment portfolio.
NBP has the largest equity portfolio in the banking sector primarily due to 27%
holding in NIT units, the largest mutual fund in Pakistan. During the year 2008 the
bank redeemed 10% of its NIT holding covered under LoC, which resulted in capital
gain of Rs. 1.8 billion in 2008.

banking by introducing a single point of contact through Relationship Managers. For

Pakistan Investment Bonds issued by Government of Pakistan are a preferred means
for a majority of institutional investors to invest their surplus funds for a longer time
horizon. This way they are able to lock a higher yield for a relatively long term rather
than take the risk of re-pricing after relatively shorter time periods. Furthermore, PIBs
are highly secured and risk free as they are guaranteed by the government of Pakistan.
NBP is the leading Primary Dealer for PIBs primarily because of its inventory size
and the appetite for such a long-term instrument given its deposit base. While most
foreign / private banks would have to go to the secondary market in order to satisfy a
large order from an institutional investor, NBP can execute such large orders through
its own book. This means that it can offer tight prices for large amounts even under
volatile market conditions.

13. Employee Benefits, Disbursements & Trustee Division
The divisional head of this division is Mr. Mrs. Khurshid Maqsood Ali. The function
of the National Bank of Pakistan’s Employee benefits, disbursement & trustee division
is to handle the administration of trust funds, provide estate planning support, and in
some cases see to the disposition of the estate of a deceased customer. One of the factors
that make the use of this department so attractive is that it tends to be somewhat
conservative with their management approach. This means that this department is likely
to take time to evaluate all options when involved in settling estates, establishing
guardianships, or administering trusts that have been set up for the survivors of a major
depositor. This methodical approach is often in line with the motivation for establishing
the asset in the first place, which was to provide a source of financial support for loved
ones, even after a parent or significant other has died.
Along with estate settlement, this department also provides a number of other agency
services, such as functioning as the trustee of record for corporate bonds or
administering a pension or profit sharing plan. As a means of ensuring that the resources
of the bank safely protect the investments involved, the department makes it relatively
easy for the client to deal with other matters. Thus, the investor can focus more on
family or other business matters, and be less involved in the task of protecting assets
that are already established and set on a path of consistent growth.

Account opening section of the bank can be considered the most important department

bank is to mobilize deposits of money from the savers and lend into for most
profitable purposes. The process of collection deposits is Deposits Mobilization.
Commercial banks donor receive these deposits for safe keeping purpose only .but they
accept deposits as debts. When a bank receives a deposit from a customer becomes a
creditor and the bank a debtor. When the bank receives the amount of deposits as a
debtor, it becomes the owner of it but there is an implicit agreement that the amount

PAGE 47
owned would be paid back by the bank to depositor on demand or often at specified
time. The classification is based on duration and purpose for which the deposits are to
be kept at the bank before the depositor can withdraw them. Deposits can be divided
into two categories.

is withdrawn. This finance if normally borrowed by small traders or individuals for
their petty matters involving cash transactions up to rupees three hundred thousand
maximum.
iii. Running Finance

  • 1. Internship Report ON NATIONAL BANK OF PAKISTAN
  • 2. Internship Report PAGE 1 Internship Report On National Bank of Pakistan By Muhammad Abdul Aziz Sadiq Masters of Commerce Department of Commerce University of Sargodha
  • 3. Internship Report PAGE 2 Preface Being a student of commerce in University of Sargodha, it is an integral and inevitable part of my studies to get internship in the organizations to get oriented with the corporate culture to learn the ethics and conventions applied there. This provides the student an immense opportunity to evaluate themselves in the practically exercised philosophies where the students come by a chance to explore their qualities and pin point the loop holes which can give rise to some problems in their future and to rectify these weak areas before they may assume alarming proportions. I have completed my internship in the National Bank of Pakistan, Main Branch Civil Lines, Sargodha. Where I got this opportunity to observe the difference between the theoretical and practical worlds from a very close quarter as to there lies a gulf between the theoretical and applied approaches. Whatever can be learned from can be rarely been had from the theory only.
  • 4. Internship Report PAGE 3 Acknowledgement All praise to Allah, the most merciful, kind and beneficent, and the source of all knowledge, wisdom within and beyond my comprehension. He is the only God, who can help us in every field of life. All respect and possible tributes goes to my Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW), who is forever guidance and knowledge for all human beings on this earth. I am greatly indebted to my learned teachers, Sir Zaman, Sir Zahid, Sir Javed, Sir Shahzad, Sir Rafi, Sir Mati-ur-Rehman who had great influence on me during my formative years. This report reflects the knowledge which I have gained from my valuable teachers. I acknowledge with deep gratitude the invaluable help extended to me by Mrs., one of the officer of the National Bank of Pakistan, without her co-operation it was not possible for me to complete my Internship. She guided and helped me and specially the sympathetic attitude, which always inspired me for hard work. I am very thankful to Mr. Ghulam Qadir Jaam Manager of National Bank Main Branch, Sargodha and all the bank staff for their cooperative attitude during my internship.

  • 8. Internship Report PAGE 7 Executive Summary Internship is very important for us, the students of commerce. It does not only provide us with the best opportunity to experience the rituals of corporate sector, but also helps us to enhance our observation about how things move around us. Spending a short period of 6 weeks with Pakistan’s one of the best-known employer and leading banks was a fantastic experience for me. I gained a handsome extent of practical knowledge there. This all added a lot into my exposure and self-grooming. To become successful in practical life, practical knowledge and experience is very much important. Because course contents and lectures just give us theoretical concepts but not practical knowledge. This is the basic reason why students of M.com are required to spent six to eight weeks in diverse organizations to learn the work ethics of organizations and gain practical knowledge. This internship report is based on my six weeks spent working and learning in National Bank of Pakistan, Main Branch Sargodha. The report discusses overview of National Bank of Pakistan and my work therein. It illustrates history of the bank and the departments of the organization. Practical work during internship period in various departments is also discussed. I learned about export department working, various types of accounts and clearing process. In the end findings and recommendations are given for improvements.

Employee Benefits, Disbursements & Trustee Division The divisional head of this division is Mr. Mrs. Khurshid Maqsood Ali. The function of the National Bank of Pakistan’s Employee benefits, disbursement & trustee division is to handle the administration of trust funds, provide estate planning support, and in some cases see to the disposition of the estate of a deceased customer. One of the factors that make the use of this department so attractive is that it tends to be somewhat conservative with their management approach. This means that this department is likely to take time to evaluate all options when involved in settling estates, establishing guardianships, or administering trusts that have been set up for the survivors of a major depositor. This methodical approach is often in line with the motivation for establishing the asset in the first place, which was to provide a source of financial support for loved ones, even after a parent or significant other has died. Along with estate settlement, this department also provides a number of other agency services, such as functioning as the trustee of record for corporate bonds or administering a pension or profit sharing plan. As a means of ensuring that the resources of the bank safely protect the investments involved, the department makes it relatively easy for the client to deal with other matters. Thus, the investor can focus more on family or other business matters, and be less involved in the task of protecting assets that are already established and set on a path of consistent growth.

It may consists of stocks bonds , bill of exchange, bills of lading, etc. the bank has protect himself from any discrepancy in the future. They increase the ability of the borrower to obtain the funds from the bank. v. Condition The economic condition of the borrower is determined.

Regarding the amount, limit and period, it depends on the nature of the case in review. ii. Cash Finance In this mode of financing the borrower is allowed to make withdrawals of funds as he requires, but the total amount outstanding cannot exceed the limit sanctioned. The mark-up/interest is calculated on the amount outstanding on his account. The calculation of mark-up/interest is based on the number of days a specific amount is withdrawn.

Loans When a customer borrows a fixed amount from a banker repayable either in periodic installments or in lump sum at a fixed future time, it is called a "loan".

If the management is aggressive and adoptive to the new changes then it is most likely that the banker may receive the loan back on due date Securities In case the borrower is not in a position to meet his obligations, there must be something else to call back upon. So bankers take securities to have a resource to them to guard liquidity, that is, security is an insurance against calamities. In case of cash finance the customer have to give the same amount of money to the NBP as a security for which it takes loan.
