INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND

Bachelor in Business Administration (BBA) is the semester wise academic program

designed for management students to provide comprehensive and practical education.

semesters (One hundred and twenty Credit hours) meeting the international standards

of four years and constituting general business courses and advanced courses for

BBA program of Tribhuvan University requires internship of minimum eight weeks.

The reason behind including Internship in the final semester is to give practical

exposure to the students. Internship is the form of applied knowledge that enhances

the individual’s ability and confidence level to compete in the dynamic and global

business world. It is also one of the pertinent ways to grasp the opportunity through

exposure to the internal as well as external environment of the organization. It is just

like a training section in which one gets familiarity with the corporate culture and gain

practicability.

Moreover, Students can use the knowledge acquired in the previous semesters and

perform efficiently in completion of the assigned tasks in the workplace. It assists in

improving the interpersonal and communication skills required to sustain in the

competitive business environment. It enhances fresher's confidence level to compete

in this complex age and level of understanding. It increases the ability of the students

to tackle the business problems to grasp the opportunity and to face threats.

Thus, internship is career enhancing program and is aimed at developing the level of

understanding and competence required to be a professional.

1.3 METHODOLOGY

This report has been prepared on the basis of a eight weeks internship experience at

Sunrise Bank Limited, Gairidhara. For the preparation of this Internship report, the

secondary sources have been used. The secondary information was mainly collected

from the Quarterly Reports of the bank, booklets, newspapers, published documents

and various websites. Apart from that few books, websites and previous internship

reports have been referred to get a detailed overview of the format as well as materials

and information

1.3.1 Organizational selection

Being a banking and finance specialized student, I was required to do my internship in

any financial institution. Among all the financial institutions, commercial banks were

more preferable as they are large, reputed and had more scope. So I made up my mind

to select commercial bank rather than going for finance companies, co-operatives and

other types of organization. For the organization selection, I assessed various banks

and found Sunrise Bank Limited as a new and emerging bank. I was recommended by

my teachers to join Sunrise Bank Limited.

Page 3: 8. Report Body

By joining Sunrise Bank, I believed I could know a lot about the functioning of the

bank and the various strategies that bank follows for the success of the organization.

So, I finally took a decision to choose Sunrise Bank Limited for my internship.

Accordingly, I dropped the College Recommendation Letter along with Curriculum

Vitae in the Head Office of Sunrise Bank. After regular follow ups, I was finally

appointed as an intern in the Main Branch of Sunrise Bank Limited on 27th April

2009.

1.3.2 Placement

During my internship period in Sunrise Bank Limited, I was mainly placed in two

departments. I got the opportunity to work in the Main Branch and the Head Office

located at Gairidhara. I was placed in the Customer Service Department of Main

Branch, and Human Resource Planning and Promotion Department of Head Office.

However, my report is focused on Human Resource Planning and Development

Department where I was placed for the most part of my internship period.

1.3.3 Duration

The requirement of internship period for BBA students affiliated to Tribhuvan

University is minimum eight weeks. So, with a view to fulfill this requirement, I was

engaged as an intern for the period of eight weeks i.e. from 26th April 2009 to 26th

June 2009 at Sunrise Bank Limited, Gairidhara. During my internship period, I was

placed in different departments to gain adequate knowledge and helped develop my

banking and interpersonal skills in the limited time

1.3.4 Activities

When I joined Sunrise Bank Limited as an Intern, I was appointed mainly in

Customer Service Department (CSD) and Human Resource Planning and Promotion

Department.. Brief overview of the respective department was given to me before

assigning me the tasks. I observed how the staffs carry out their activities and

developed a clear understanding. During my internship period Sunrise Bank Limited

was in the process of issuing shares to the general public (IPO). I got an opportunity

to get involved in IPO related activities as well. I came to know how IPO is

conducted by any commercial bank.

Limited.

1.4 LIMITATIONS

1. This report is mainly based on my individual understanding and knowledge

gained during the internship period and theoretical knowledge that has been

previously studied.

2. The bank’s policy in keeping some matters confidential prevented me from

analyzing the various critical facts and issues i.e. mostly in Human Resource

Planning and Development Department.

3. As I had work only in some particular departments only, I could not witness and

scrutinize the overall operations of the Bank.

However, I have tried my level best to gain adequate knowledge of banking and the

corporate culture and sincerely perform the tasks I was assigned by my supervisors.

The whole experience was an excellent learning opportunity as well as an exciting

challenge.

CHAPTER II

INTRODUCTION TO BANKING INDUSTRY

2.1 CONCEPT OF BANK

The term ‘bank’ is derived from the Latin Word ‘bancus’, Italian word ‘banca’,

French word ‘banque’, which means ‘a bench’ and German word ‘bank’ which

means Joint Stock Company. Bank is a financial institution engaged in monetary

transaction. It accepts deposits from surplus units and mobilizes those funds to the

deficit unit. In other words, it receives deposits from those having savings and lends it

to the ones who are in need of money for some purpose. Besides this, a bank is also

involved in a number of other agency services like remitting and collecting cash on

behalf of its clients, opening bank draft and LC facilities, underwriting shares of

newly established companies etc.

Bank acts as the financial intermediary i.e. it bridges the gap between the savers of the

fund and users of the fund. Banking system of any country is the important

component of the financial market. Without bank, it would be quite impossible for the

industrialists and entrepreneurs to collect savings directly from general for

investments.

Bank, a financial service institution, especially concentrates on credit, savings and

payment services and performs the widest range of financial functions of any business

firm in the economy. Its major function is to formulate the capital by collecting the

small diversified savings scattered all over the nation. A typical modern bank

performs various functions like accepting deposits, granting loans, exchange of

foreign currency, transfer of funds, credit creation, and functioning as an agent of

customer.

Bank has become an essential part of modern society, which helps in the development

of overall condition of a country. Efficient banking system of any nation fosters its

economy as well.

Page 7: 8. Report Body

In the absence and insufficiency of banking and financial facilities, the growth of the

economic development becomes slow.

Some of the definitions of banks by scholars

Different scholars have defined bank in different ways. Some of the definitions are

given below:

According to Crowther

“Bank is an institution which collects money from those who have it to spare and who

are saving it out of their income and lends this money out to those who require it.”

According to Prof. Kinley

“ Bank is an establishment, which wakes to individuals such as advances of money as

may be required and safety made to and to which individuals entrust money when and

required by them for use.”

Other Definitions of Bank

Some other definitions of bank are given below.

According to Nepal Rastra Bank Act 2002

“Bank is a financial institution which provides financial services that may be in the

form of accepting deposits, advancing loans, providing necessary technical advices,

dealing over foreign currencies, remitting funds, etc.”

According to Commercial Bank Act of 2031 (Nepal)

“Bank is an organization established for the purpose of exchange money deposit

lending money and participation in transactions”

2.2 HISTORY AND ORIGIN OF BANK:

The history of banking is nearly as old as civilization. It is closely related to the

history of money. Along with the civilization, unceasing demand for the

improvements in service quality and the increasing need and expectations of

customers, it has gone through transformation.

The banking industry that we have at present is the outcome of a series of stepwise

developments that have occurred in the process of its evolution. The early bankers,

the Jews in Lambardy, transacted third business at benches in the marketplace. When

they were unable to meet their liabilities, the depositors used to break their benches

and the term bankrupted was derived.

The early bankers are the Lombard's who were originally from the plains of

Lombardy of Northern Italy. After the Lombards, the goldsmiths practiced banking as

a sideline to their normal activities in the bullion and jewelers fields. They introduced

banking practice in England. The very first banks were probably the religious

temples of the ancient world where gold were stored.

In ancient Greece the famous temples of Delphi and Olympia served as the great

depositories for peoples’ surplus funds and these were the centers of money lending

transaction. Indeed the traces of “rudimental banking” were found in the Chaldean,

Egyptian and Phoenician history. The development of banking in ancient Rome

roughly followed the Greece pattern.

Banking suffered oblivion after the fall of the Roman Empire after the death of

Emperor Justinian in 565 A.D. until the revival of trade and commerce in the middle

Ages. Money lending in the middle ages was, however, largely confined to the Jews

since the Christians were forbidden by Canon law to indulge in the sinful act of

lending money to others on interest.

In England, banking and its origin can be started with goldsmith who adept the

valuable thing of the public for the safe keeping at certain commission (interest) and

Page 9: 8. Report Body

9

to be returned to those, the depositor wished. According to Crowther, modern

Banking has three ancestors- The Merchant, The Goldsmith and The Money Lender.

As a public enterprise, banking made its first beginning around the twelfth century in

Italy and the “Bank of Venice”, founded in 1175 A.D. was the first the public

banking institution. Following it, “Bank of Barcelona” and “Bank of Genoa” were

established and it continued to operate in 1401 A.D. and 1407 A.D. respectively.

These modern bank gradually replaced goldsmith, merchant and money lender.

“Bank of England” in 1694 A.D and “Bank of Hindustan” in 1770 A.D. were

established in England and India respectively as the first bank of it. But these banks

were not established according to the law.

In 1833 A.D., Banking Act-1833 was introduced in United Kingdom which allowed

opening joint stock company banks. With the expansion of commercial activities in

Northern Europe there sprang up a number of private banking houses in Europe and

slowly it spread throughout the world.

2.3 ORIGIN OF BANK IN NEPAL

Financial system in Nepal is still in the revolutionary phase. The history of banking in

Nepal can be described as a component of gradual and ordinary development in the

financial and economic condition. The establishment of “Kausi Toshi Khana” as a

banking agency during the time of King Prithvi Narayan Shah and “Tejarath Adda”

can be regarded as the initial steps in the direction of start of banking development in

Nepal. In the context of Nepal, the development of banks can be summarized in three

phases:

Phase I

Phase II

Phase III

Page 10: 8. Report Body

10

Phase I:

The establishment of ‘Tejarath Adda’ during the Tenure of Prime Minister Ranoddip

Singh in 1933 B.S. (1876A.D) was the first step towards the institutional development

of banking in Nepal. It was an unorganized institutions subscribed and established by

government in Nepal with the objective to provide credit facilities to general public.

Credit loans were provided to the general public at 5% interest rate on securities i.e.

gold, silver and other ornaments. It failed to accept deposits from them. Though it

could mobilize funds from wide range of different sources, it was not able to facilitate

the growing trades with Tibet and India. Thus a need for the establishment of a

modern bank had become essential to promote the trade of the nation.

Phase II:

During the time of Chandra Shamsher (1901-1929), credit facilities of ‘Tejarath’ were

extended by opening its branches. Later during the time of Juddha Shamsher in B.S.

1994.07.30, it was replaced by the first commercial bank, Nepal Bank Limited with

an authorized capital of 10 million rupees. After that Nepal Rastra Bank was

established on B.S 2013.01.14 as the central bank under the Nepal Rastra Bank Act

2012. Its function was to supervise commercial banks and to guide the basic monetary

policy of the nation. In 2013 B.S, Industrial Development Center was established and

later it was converted into Nepal Industrial Development Corporation (NIDC) in 2016

B.S. As the monetary transaction got more and more complicated on 2022.10.10,

Rastriya Banijya Bank was established as a fully government owned commercial

bank. Agricultural bank was then established on 2024.10.07 to help the agricultural

side of the country.

There were altogether five banks in Phase II. (Source: Annex 1)

Phase III:

“Commercial Bank Act 2031” was enacted to operate all commercial banks uniformly

under single act. Nepal Commercial Bank Act 2031 defines commercial banks as the

Page 11: 8. Report Body

11

banks that deal with money exchange, accepting deposits, advancing loans and other

commercial transactions except some special functions done by specified cooperative,

agriculture and industrial banks. In 2041 B.S. Nepal Government established five

rural development banks under the control and supervision of Nepal Rastra Bank. The

establishment of these banks helped in spreading the banking services to both urban

and rural areas but banking service to the customer satisfaction was still far.

After the reestablishment of democracy, the government has taken liberal policy in

banking sector so different private banks are getting permission to establish with the

joint venture of other countries. Nabil is the First Joint Venture Bank as Nepal Arab

Bank. Similarly, three foreign commercial banks Emirates Bank International Limited

(Dubai), Indosuez, and Grind lays Bank entered Nepal in the form of joint venture and

the trend is continuing till today.

2.4 PRESENT SCENARIO OF BANKING SECTOR IN NEPAL

The Nepalese financial sector is composed of banking sector and non-banking sector.

Banking sector comprises Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) and commercial banks. The non-

banking sector includes development banks, micro development bank, finance

companies, cooperative financial institutions, non-government organization (NGO)

performing limited banking activities. Other financial institution comprise of

insurance companies, employee’s provident fund, citizen investment trust, postal

saving offices and Nepal stock exchange. There is tremendous growth in the number

of financial institution in Nepal in the last two decades. At the beginning of 1980s

when financial sector was not liberalized, there were only two commercial banks and

two development banks performing banking activities in Nepal. There were no micro-

credit development banks, finance companies, cooperatives and NGOs with limited

banking transactions. After the liberalization of the financial sector, financial sector

has made a hallmark progress both in terms of the number of financial institutions and

beneficiaries of financial services.

Page 12: 8. Report Body

12

Today, there are altogether 26 commercial banks (Source: Annex 1) in Nepal. Out of

them 9 is joint venture with foreign bank. With the increasing number of commercial

banks, competition among themselves has also become more complex. In today’s

dynamic environment, the commercial banks are trying to introduce and establish

themselves differently from other banks by providing special services and attractive

schemes to its customers. Besides commercial banks, development banks are also

improving their performance in Nepalese banking industry and they also play an

important role in the growth of country’s economic position.

The present scenario of the Nepalese financial market can be viewed as:

S.No Financial Institution No. of Institutions

1. Central Bank 1

2. Commercial Bank 26

6. Cooperatives 16

8. Insurance Companies

As On Mid April 2009

2.5 COMMERCIAL BANKING SYSTEM IN NEPAL

According to the Commercial Bank Act 2031, "Commercial banks are the banks that

deal with money exchange, accepting deposits, advancing loans and other commercial

transactions except some special functions done by specified cooperative, agriculture

and industrial banks." The commercial bank is the oldest form of bank. In general, it

performs all kinds of banking business and generally finances trade and commerce is

called commercial bank.

Page 13: 8. Report Body

13

It occupies quite an important place in the framework of every economy. Commercial

bank pools together the scattered savings of the community and arranges for their

productive use and generates profit.

In the context of Nepal, the first commercial bank, "Nepal Bank Limited" was

established in 1937 A.D. and the second "Rastriya Banijya Bank" was established in

1966 A.D. Nepal has opened its door to foreign commercial banks in the kingdom

almost a decade back. As the country followed economic liberalization, there was

massive entrance of foreign banks in Nepal. Consequently, Nepal Arab Bank was

established in 1985 A.D. Similarly the Nepal Indosuez Bank was established as a joint

venture between Nepal and France in 1986 A.D. As the result of economic

liberalization policy there are 26 commercial banks operating banking activities in the

country. (Source: Annex 2)

CHAPTER IV

ANALYSIS OF ACTIVITIES DONE AND PROBLEM

SOLVED

This chapter mainly focuses on the major activities that are performed in Human

Resource Department. Doing internship in Human Resource Planning and

Development Department (HRPDD) was a nice experience. Based on that experience

I could analyze the various functions of HRPDD. Almost every bank is involved in

various functions and thus requires a highly effective team and appropriate manpower

to achieve it goal. Corporate goals are translated into viable realities and profits only

with human element that play their due role in achieving the desired results.

4.1 OVERVIEW

Managing human resource is at the heart of almost all the real-life management

‘problems’. This chapter aims to bring out issues involved in the management of

human resources. Based on internship I have come to understand trends and

perspectives of HR policies and practices in Sunrise Bank Limited. On examination of

human resource at work, I have figured out various aspects which are basics to human

motivation at work and in fulfilling career aspirations within organizations. Over the

last two decades the areas of Human resource management has gone through some

fundamental and drastic changes. Rapid changes in technology, increasing workforce

diversity, increasing skill deficiency and focus on Total Quality Management (TQM)

have altered the face of banking and the shape of things to come in the foreseeable

future before identifying the HR related issues. 

Page 27: 8. Report Body

27

Human resource management has occupied a central position in Sunrise Bank

Limited. In changing business and management environment the strategic importance

of HRM is gradually increasing. Gone are the days when organizations were opened

to provide employment opportunities. Instead organizations of 21st centuries are being

opened to understand and take advantage of environment opportunity and threats.

4.2 HUMAN RESOURCE

Human resources may be defined as the total knowledge, skills, creative abilities,

talents and aptitudes of an organization's workforce, as well as the values, attitudes,

approaches and beliefs of the individuals involved in the affairs of the organization. It

is the sum total or aggregate of inherent abilities, acquired knowledge and skills

represented by the talents and aptitudes of the persons employed in the organization

Human resource is an increasingly broadening term that refers to managing "human

capital," the people of an organization. The human resources are multidimensional in

nature. From the national point of view, human resources may be defined as the

knowledge, skills, creative abilities, talents and aptitudes obtained in the population;

whereas from the viewpoint of the individual enterprise, they represent the total of the

inherent abilities, acquired knowledge and skills as exemplified in the talents and

aptitudes of its employees.

Like many other organized sectors, banking requires multi layer manpower for its

various requirements of professionals and support staff. The range may require

reasonably educated security guards on the one end and a highly educated and trained

professional as head of corporate finance at the other. With liberalization of activities

within the banking sector, for example, more emphasis on consumer and house

finance and personal loans, etc. banking has turned itself into a more market-based

business where banks have expanded their reach more to customers' door steps in a

big way making banking more practical. This has further highlighted the need for

proper deployment of man-power to run banks efficiently.

4.3.1 Introduction to Human Resource Management

Human Resource Management (HRM) has come to be recognized as an inherent part

of management, which is concerned with the management of human resources of an

organization.

HRM holds the objective of the maintenance of better human relations in the

organization by the development, application and evaluation of policies, procedures

and programs relating to human resources to optimize their contribution towards the

realization of organizational objectives.

In other words, HRM is concerned with getting better results with the collaboration of

people. It is an integral but distinctive part of management, concerned with people at

work and their relationships within the enterprise. HRM helps in attaining maximum

individual development, desirable working relationship between employees and

employers, employees and employees, and effective modeling of human resources as

contrasted with physical resources. It is the recruitment, selection, development,

utilization, compensation and motivation of human resources by the organization.

The Human Resources Management (HRM) function includes a variety of activities,

and key among them is deciding what staffing needs you have and whether to use

independent contractors or hire employees to fill these needs, recruiting and training

the best employees, ensuring they are high performers, dealing with performance

issues, and ensuring your personnel and management practices conform to various

regulations. Activities also include managing your approach to employee benefits and

compensation, employee records and personnel policies.

Hence, Human Resource Management is responsible for the people dimension of the

organization. It is responsible for getting competent people, training them to perform

at high effort level and providing mechanisms to ensure that these employees

maintain their productive affiliation with the organization.

CHAPTER V

CONCLUSION AND LESSON LEARNT

5.1 CONCLUSION

During internship in Sunrise Bank Limited and preparation of this report, I got the

opportunity to learn a lot about the banking sector and scrutinize its various aspects.

Prior to this experience my knowledge of banking was very little and limited to books

only. But through internship I got a practical acquaintance of the bank and the

corporate culture. At SrBL, I was cooperatively guided by all the banking personnel

who helped me in acquiring the in-depth banking knowledge.

Doing internship at SrBL not only helped in learning the automated systems, but also

the manual process of doing works in the bank. It helped gain tremendous knowledge

and experience mainly with Customer Service Department and Human Resource

Department as well as working principles of commercial banks. I not only sat and

observed in the different department but also performed variety of tasks by myself.

During my study, I found out customers are the greatest assets of any bank. SrBL is

constantly attempting to provide better or quality service to the customer. The

behavioral issues are also critical as they make customer feel satisfied. The unique

and tailor made products and services are the targeted to fulfill the diverse needs of

the customer. This helped the bank to achieve success by creating loyal customers and

retaining them.

I have learnt that socializing with the people, dealing with the coworker or a senior,

making the working environment cozier and friendlier are equally important in the

organization. Informal interaction and communication among the employees help to

Page 41: 8. Report Body

41

ease the monotony of the job and create a pleasant working environment. My

supervisors not only guided me about the banking, but they also shared their personal

experience and facts that helped me get a better picture of the organization.

Lastly, I want to conclude that SrBL is excellent in term of their services despite with

some pros and cons with the issue related to customer satisfaction. SrBL, although a

newly established bank, has opportunity to increase their market share as it is

expanding its branches rapidly in various parts of the country. SrBL is established

with the promise to provide excellent services to their customer and improve their

customer satisfaction by specializing on the strength, overcoming its weakness and

doing their best to retain their valued customers.

5.2LESSON LEARNT

Internship of eight weeks at SrBL has contributed a lot in developing theoretical base

and practical skills through practical exposure to the industry. I got an opportunity to

know its corporate culture. It is the basic lesson for my career development. Beside

this, I have also learnt the working of the general banking transaction process by

being engaged as intern in Customer Service Department and Human Resource

Planning and Promotion Department. During this period I got an opportunity to be a

part of IPO which was a great success.

Working as the intern I could witness the working procedures of the Customer

Service Department, Human Resource Department and IPO. At Customer care I got

an opportunity to interact with customers. I came to know the role of Business Desk

to convert Walk in customers into valuable clients and deliver excellent service to

their satisfaction. I observed both manual and automated functioning of Business

Desk.

The Human Resources function provides significant support and advice to line

management. The attraction, preservation and development of high caliber people are

a source of competitive advantage for our business, and are the responsibility of HR.

Page 42: 8. Report Body

42

Moreover, I could closely monitor recruitment and selection, training and

development and performance evaluation of the employees.

During my intern period I even felt the importance of the time management and the

need of the communication skills. Since the customers are the main drivers of any

financial institutions, they should be pleased by offering the quality services which

are basically depends on the quick service and the pleasing personality of the staffs

because most of the services provided by different commercial banks are same in

nature and customers have different choices to make in the market.

I even learnt many aspects of human resource i.e how a human resource department

looks after entire human resource in a financial industry, how selection and

recruitment process is carried out by human resource department, how they formulate

rules and regulation that are to be followed by each and every employee in the bank

and various types of trainings provided to the employees to enhance knowledge and

skills. Similarly I have also experienced how their performance is rated.

The ultimate success of any organization depends on its Human resource. Human

resource of an organization is not only a critical asset today but has become an

important source of competitive advantage. Employees need to have both the

motivation and the skill to be customer focused. It is important to determine both

current and future organizational requirements for both core employees and the

contingent workforce in terms of their skills/technical abilities, competencies,

flexibility etc.

During my internship period IPO was conducted. I even got an opportunity to know

why and how the IPO is conducted. An initial public stock offering (IPO) referred to

simply as an "offering" or "flotation," is when a company issues common stock or

shares to the public for the first time. They are often issued by smaller, younger

companies seeking capital to expand, but can also be done by large privately-owned

companies looking to become publicly traded. Nepal Merchant Banking was the issue

manager for Sunrise Bank Limited
