1.2 Background of the report:
Last year Bangladesh Bank undertook a project to review the global best practices in the banking
sector and examines in the possibility of introducing these in the banking industry of Bangladesh.
Four Focus Groups were formed with participation from Nationalized Commercial Banks, Private
Commercial Banks & Foreign Banks with representatives from the Bangladesh Bank as team
coordinators to look into the practices of the best performing banks both at home and abroad.
These focus groups identified and selected five core risk areas and produce a document that
would be a basic risk management model for each of the five core risk areas of banking. The
five core risk areas are as followsa) Credit Risks;
b) Asset and Liability/Balance Sheet Risks;
c) Foreign Exchange Risks;
d) Internal Control and Compliance Risks; and
e) Money Laundering Risks.
Bangladesh Bank in one of its circular (BRPD Circular no.17) advised the commercial banks of
Bangladesh to put in place an effective risk management system by December, 2003 based on
the guidelines sent to them.
I am working in the Credit Department of National Bank Limited. In this report, I will try to make a
comparative analysis between Bangladesh Bank suggested best practices guideline for
managing credit risk and National Bank Limited existing credit policy.
1.3 Rationale of the report:
The internship program is very helpful to bridge the gap between the theoretical knowledge and
real life experience as the part of the Bachelor of Business Administration (MBA) program. This
internship report has been designed to have a practical experience through the theoretical
understanding. For the completion of this internship program I have been placed in Bank named
National Bank Limited. I decided to work on the practices of general banking activities of the
bank. The report focuses on the practices of the general banking activities.

This internship report covers all the trade related products handled by National Bank Ltd such
as Dispatch, Cash department, Account opening, Cheque clearing, Local remittance, Accounts,
Loan division, Credit card division, Foreign exchange, Western Money Union etc.
This has been prepared through extensive discussion with bank employees and with the
customer. While preparing this report, I had a great opportunity to have an in depth knowledge of
all the banking activities practices by the National Bank Ltd. It also helps me to acquire a first
hand perspective of a leading private banking in Bangladesh.
Generally, by the word Bank we can easily understand that the financial institution deals with
money. But there are different types of banks such as; Central Banks, Commercial Banks, Saving
Banks, Investment Banks, Industrial Banks, Cooperative Banks etc. But we are used the term
Bank without any prefix, or qualification, it refer to the commercial banks. Commercial banks
are the primary contributions to the economy of a country. Therefore we can say commercial
banks are profit-making
Institutions that hold the deposit of individuals 7 business in checking & savings accounts and
then uses these founds to make loans
Both general public and the government are dependent on the services of banks as the financial
intermediary. As, banks are profit earning concern; they collect deposit at the lowest possible cost
and provides loans and advances at higher cost. The differences between two are the profit for
the bank the bank.
A company can increase efficiency through a number of steps. These include exploiting
economies of scale and learning effects, adopting flexible manufacturing technologies,
reducing customer defection rate, getting R&D function to design products that are easily to
manufacture, upgrading the skills of employees through training, introducing self-managing team,
linking pay to performance building a company wide to efficiency through strong leadership, and
designing structures that facilitate cooperation among different functions in pursuit the efficiency
goal
Efficiency of customer is related with progression of operation. We can identify the efficiency of
customer services by studying the progress of National Bank Limited from starting to at present.
The progress of National Bank Limited is very rapid with concern of its profits making and
growth of its operation within the country towards the countrys economy.
National Bank Limited pursues decentralized management policies and gives adequate work
freedom to the employees. This results in less pressure for the worker and acts as a motivational
tool for them, which gives them, increased encouragement and inspiration to move up the leader
of success. Overall I have experienced a very friendly and supporting environment at National
Bank Limited which gave me the pleasure and satisfaction to be a part of them for a while.
The study would focus on the following areas of National Bank Limited.
Credit appraisal system of National Bank Limited.
Procedure for different credit facilities.
Portfolio (of Loan or advances) management of National Bank Limited.
Organization structures and responsibilities of management

Background of banking
2.1 Definition of bank:
The Jews in Jerusalem introduced a kind of banking in the form of money lending before the birth
of Christ. The word Bank was probably derived from the word bench as during ancient time
Jews
used
to
do
money
-lending
business
sitting
on
long
benches.
First modern banking was introduced in 1668 in Stockholm as Savings Pis Bank which opened
up
new
era
of
banking
activities
throughout
the
European
Mainland.
In the South Asian region, early banking system was introduced by the Afghan traders popularly
known as Kabuliwallas. Muslim businessmen from Kabul, Afghanistan came to India and started
money lending business in exchange of interest sometime in 1312 A.D. They were known as
Kabuliwallas
A bank is a financial institution whose primary activity is to act as a payment agent for customers
and to borrow and lend money. It is an institution for receiving, keeping, and lending money.
Banks have influenced economies and politics for centuries. Historically, the primary purpose of a
bank was to provide loans to trading companies. Banks provided funds to allow businesses to
purchase inventory, and collected those funds back with interest when the goods were sold. For
centuries, the banking industry only dealt with businesses, not consumers. Banking services
have expanded to include services directed at individuals, and risk in these much smaller
transactions are pooled.
The name bank derives from the Italian word banco desk/bench, used during the Renaissance
by Florentines bankers, who used to make their transactions above a desk covered by a green
tablecloth.[2]However, there are traces of banking activity even in ancient times.In fact, the word
traces its origins back to the Ancient Roman Empire, where moneylenders would set up their
stalls in the middle of enclosed courtyards called macella on a long bench called a bancu, from
which the words banco and bank are derived. As a moneychanger, the merchant at the bancu did
not so much invest money as merely convert the foreign currency into the only legal tender in
Romethat of the Imperial Mint.[3]
After independence of Bangladesh the government of Bangladesh was formally to change the
administration of the territory now constitute Bangladesh. The government promulgated a law
called Bangladesh bank order 1971 (acting president order no 2 of 1971). By this order the state
bank of Pakistan was declared to be deemed as Bangladesh bank and officers, branches and
assets of said state bank was declared to be deemed as officers, branches of Bangladesh bank.
On the date there existed 14 scheduled banks with about 3042 branches all over the world.
On the 16th December 1971 there existed the following 12 banks in Bangladesh namely:

a vital role in the national economy. We are determined to bring back the long forgotten taste of
banking services and flavors. We want to serve each one promptly and with a sense of dedication

The emergence of National Bank Limited in the private sector is an important event in the
Banking arena of Bangladesh. When the nation was in the grip of severe recession, Govt. took
the farsighted decision to allow in the private sector to revive the economy of the country. Several
dynamic entrepreneurs came forward for establishing a bank with a motto to revitalize the
economy of the country.
The then President of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh Justice Ahsanuddin Chowdhury
inaugurated the bank formally on March 28, 1983 but the first branch at 48, Dilkusha Commercial
Area, Dhaka started commercial operation on March 23, 1983. The 2nd Branch was opened on

At present, NBL has been carrying on business through its 101 branches spread all over the
country. Besides, the Bank has drawing arrangement with 415 correspondents in 75 countries of
the world as well as with 32 overseas Exchange Companies. NBL was the first domestic bank to
establish agency arrangement with the world famous Western Union in order to facilitate quick
and safe remittance of the valuable foreign exchanges earned by the expatriate Bangladeshi
nationals. NBL was also the first among domestic banks to introduce international Master Card in
Bangladesh. In the meantime, NBL has also introduced the Visa Card and Power Card. The Bank
has in its use the latest information technology services of SWIFT and REUTERS.NBL has been
continuing its small credit programme for disbursement of collateral free agricultural loans among

56.50% respectively. Total assets of the Bank stood at Tk. 4483 crore on 30.09.2006.
Our Bank invested 25% equity in Gulf Overseas Exchange Company LLC, a joint venture
Exchange Company in Oman, operating since November, 1985 under the management of our
Bank. The Bank received Riyal Omani 11875 equivalent to Tk.2.10 million as dividend for the
year 2006.
Now NBL is on line to establish trade and communication with the Prime International banking
companies of the world. As a result NBL will be able to build a strong root in international banking
horizon. Bank has been drawing arrangement with well conversant money transfer service
agency Western Union. It has a full time arrangement for speedy transfer of money all over the
world.
Banking is not only a profit-oriented commercial institution but it has a public base and social

Astounding Science Fiction, and reprinted in the collections The Rest of the Robots (1964) and

4.2 Definition of Credit risk:
Risk is inherent in all commercial operations. For banks and financial institutions credit risk is an
essential factor, which needs to be managed properly. Credit risk virtually is the possibility that a
borrower will fail to repay debt in accordance with the terms of sanction. Credit risk therefore
arises from the banks lending operations. In the present days state of deregulation and
globalization banks range of activities have increased, so also are the bank. Expansion of bank
lending operations covering new products have focused the bank to confront newer risk areas
and therefore to work out proper risk addressing devices. Credit risks are so exhaustive that a
single device can not encompass all the risk.
As National bank is providing credit facility out of its total available funds, it has to manage these
credits very efficiently. An efficient credit management system comprises many things and this
cover the pre-sanction activities to post-sanction activities. Credit management is important as it
helps the banks and financial institutions to understand various dimensions of risk involved in
different credit transactions.
At the pre-sanction stage, credit management helps the sanctioning authority to decide whether
to lend or not to lend, what should be the loan price, what should be the extent of exposure, what
should be the appropriate credit facility, what are the various facilities, what are the various risk
mitigation tools to put a cap on the risk level.
At the post-sanctioning stage, the bank can decide about the depth of the review of renewal,
frequency of review, periodicity of the grading, and other precautions to be taken.
4.3 Credit risk and Bangladesh bank:
The Financial Sector Reform Project (FSRP) has designed the LRA package, which provides a
systematic procedure for analyzing and quantifying the potential credit risk. Bangladesh Bank has
directed all commercial bank to use LRA technique for evaluating credit proposal amounting to
Tk. 10 million and above. The objective of LRA is to assess
The credit risk in quantifiable manner and then finds out ways & means to cover the risk.
However, some commercial banks employ LRA technique as a credit appraisal tool for evaluating
credit proposals amounting to Tk. 5 million and above. Broadly LRA package divides the credit
risk
into
two
categories,
namely
It indicates that the business suffers from external disruption to the supply of imputes.
Components of supplies risk are as raw material, Labor, power, machinery, equipment, factory
premises etc.
Credit Risk Management
4.3.4 Sales risk:
This refers to the risk that the business suffers from external disruption of sales. Sales may be
disrupted by changes to market size, increasing in competition, change in the regulation or due to
the loss of single large customer. Sales risk is determined by analyzing production or marketing
system, industry situation, Government policy, and competitor profile and companies strategies.
4.3.5 Company risk:
This refers to the risk that the company fails for internal reasons. Company risk is subdivided into
company position risk and Management risks.
4.3.6 Company position risk:
Within an industry each and every company holds a position. This position is very competitive.
Due to the weakness in the companys position in the industry, a company is the risk for failure.
That means, company position risk is the risk of failure due to weakness in the companies
position in the industry. It is subdivided into performance risk and resilience risk.
4.3.7 Performance risk:
This risk refers to the risk that the companys position is so weak that it will be unable to repay the
loan even under Favor able external condition. Performance risk assessed by SWOT (Strength,
Weakness, Opportunity and Threat) analysis, Trend analysis, Cash flow forecast analysis and
credit report analysis (i.e. CIB repot from Bangladesh Bank).
Credit Risk Management
4.3.8 Resilience risk:
Resilience means to recover early injury, this refers to risk that the company falls due to resilience
to unexpected external conditions. The resilience of a company depends on its leverage, liquidity
and strength of connection of its owner or directors. The resilience risk is determined by
analyzing different financial ratio, flexibility of production process, shareholders willingness to
support the company if need arise and political and private affiliation of owners and key
personnel.
4.3.9 Management risk:
The management risk refers to the risk that the company fails due to management not exploiting
effectively the companys position. Management risk is subdivided into management competence
risk and integrity risk.
Credit Management Policy for any commercial bank must have been prepared in accordance
with the Policy Guidelines of Bangladesh Banks Focus Group on Credit and Risk Management
with some changes to meet particular banks internal needs.
Credit management must be organized in such a process that the bank can minimize its losses
for payment of expected dividend to the shareholders. The purpose of this process is to provide
directional guidelines that will improve the risk management culture, establish minimum
standards for segregation of duties and responsibilities, and assist in the ongoing improvement of
concerned bank.
The guidelines for credit management may be organized into the following sections:

c. Credit monitoring: To minimized credit losses, monitoring procedures and systems should be
in place that provides an early indication of the deteriorating financial health of borrower.
d. Credit recovery: The recovery unit of branch should directly manage accounts with
sustained deterioration (a risk rating of sub-standard or worse). The primary functions of recovery

complexity; however, it can help in the assessment of risks by analyzing the credits and
determining the probability of defaults and risks of losses.
Credit risk management for banking is a very useful system, especially if the risks are in line with
the survival of banks in the business world.
4.7 Credit risk planning:
There are some objectives behind a written credit policy of National Bank that are as follows:
v To provide a guideline for giving loan.
v Prompt response to the customer need.
v Shorten the procedure of giving loan.
v Reduce the volume of work from top level management.
v Delegation of authority of work from top level of management.
v To check and balance the operational activities
4.8 Tools of credit risk:
For credit management, a firm may use tools available to them. Such tools include Credit Risk
Grading (CRG) and Financial Spread Sheet (FSS). Credit risk grading is an important for credit
risk management as it helps the banks and financial institutions to understand various
dimensions of risk involved in different credit transactions. The aggregation of such grading
across the borrowers, activities and the lines of business can provide better assessment of the
quality of credit portfolio of a bank or branch.
The Lending Risk Analysis (LRA) manual introduced in 1993 by the Bangladesh Bank has been
in practice for mandatory use by the banks and financial institutions for loan size of BDT 1.00
crore and above. However, the LRA manual suffers from a lot of subjectivity, sometimes creating
confusion to the lending bankers in terms of selection of credit proposals on the basis of risk
exposure. Meanwhile in 2003 end, Bangladesh Bank provided guidelines for credit risk
management of banks wherein it recommended, interalia, the introduction of Risk Grade Score
Card for risk assessment of credit proposals.
Bangladesh Bank expects all commercial banks to have a well defined credit risk management
system which delivers accurate and timely grading. In practice, a banks credit risk grading
system should reflect the complexity of its lending activities and the overall level of risk involved.
4.9 Essential Components of a Sound Credit Policy
There can be some variations based on the needs of a particular organization, but at least the
following areas should be covered in any comprehensive statement of credit policy and National
Banks policy also covers these areas:

5.
Market Area: Each bank should establish its proper market area, based upon, among
other things, the size and sophistication of its organization its capital standpoint, defining ones
market area is probably more important in the lending function than in any other aspect of
banking.

Chapter 05
Credit Evaluation Process
5.1 Indebtedness, Rural and Urban:
Indebtedness means the amount borrowed by the people from various sources for
investment in the various fields. Rural indebtedness is the amount borrowed by the agriculturists
from various sources. This amount is to be used for the improvement in agriculture, for the
purchase of improved agricultural implements, better seeds, fertilizers, etc. But the amount, thus
borrowed, is not generally used for the purpose for which it is borrowed. The funds are utilized
for unproductive purposes such as orthodox, customs heavy expenditure on ceremonial
activities, weddings, festivals, etc.
By urban indebtedness is meant the amount borrowed by the industrialists, traders and
other business community. Their business needs are met to some extent by the commercial
banks and government agencies, but, for incurring non-productive expenditure, they have to
resort to borrowing from the money-lenders. Contrary to the indebtedness, the amount borrowed
is generally utilized for the use in the respective establishments.
The commercial banks in the district generally charge interest from 7 per cent to 13 per
cent, according to the amount advanced and security offered. The banks advance loans on the
pledge of goods movable or immovable. The movable goods are kept in the custody of the
banks. The average lending rate in the Central Co-operative Financial Institutions ranges in
between 6 to 8 per cent, depending upon the nature and purpose of loans. The co-operative
societies advance loans at the rate of interest ranging from 2 to 8 percent. Loans advanced,
under the State Aid to Industries Act, 1935, carry interest from 2 to 6 percent.
The indebtedness money-lenders charge interest varying from 12 to 25 percent. The
loans advanced by the unregistered money-lenders carry much higher rate of interest, usually
ranging from 60 to 100 percent, per annum. The indigenous bankers are either going out to the
picture or they are trying to fall in line with the modern banking institutions. There is hardly any
case where usury is noticed these days.
The interest is sometimes calculated in kind, too, in rural areas. It is done only in case
where loan is advance in kind. Such interest varies from 25 to 50 percent on the loan advance in
kind, i.e., is one quintal of wheat is advanced as loan, it will fetch one quintal 25 kilos or one
quintal fifty kilos to the creditors, as the case may be. Such loans are advanced by landlords, but
this practice is by and by disappearing because of the coming up of co-operative institutions
which extend financial assistance liberally to the rural areas.
5.2 Role of Private Money-lenders and Financiers
Money-lenders. Though the institution of private money-lending has lost its importance,
yet it has not been completely eliminated. It is regarded as a necessary agency where the
modern banking has not developed. The illiterate and conservative people, who have not been
fully acquainted with the modern banking practices or have not brought themselves into the cooperative fold, still go to the doors of the private money-lenders.
The money-lenders or the Banian still dominates the rural sector of the district economy.
His supremacy in the field of rural finance is still unchallenged. The business of the moneylenders is generally a family concern. His working capital is his own. He grants
He follows indigenous methods of keeping he charges is out of proportion to the rate of interest
charged by the other banking institutions.
In the primitive agriculture society, the indigenous money-lender constituted the main and
only source of finance to a large section of population. He served in many ways the agriculturist
who required money for the purchase of food and other necessaries of life, for social and
religious ceremonies and for securing agriculture requisites such as seeds, bullock etc. In times
of drought and famine, agriculturists used to borrow heavily from the money-lender against the
security of agricultural lands return the debts at harvest time. These debts, not regularly repaid
by the farmers, piled up through generation and created in succeeding years the problem of rural
indebtedness. In the absence of any adequate protection to the debtor in the form of State
regulation the money-lender indulged in a number of malpractices and caused hardships to the
debtors. The Government had, therefore, to intervene to prevent money-lenders from indulging
in malpractices. The various Acts passed by the Government checked the activities of the
money-lenders. The rise and growth of modern banking institutions also affected their business
adversely.
Till recently, private money-lending was regarded as a hereditary profession. There was a
separate class which was having money-lending as its regular profession. The children of this
class generally used to adopt the same profession in turn. The passing of the Punjab Regulation
of Accounts Act, 1930, affected the private money-lending business adversely. Though the class
of professional money-lending still exists, yet it has either left money-lending as a profession or
has refined this profession in line with the modern practice of m0ney0lending. Now the moneylenders are required to get themselves registered with
5.3 Government and Semi-Government Credit Agencies
Till recently, the system of indigenous money-lending as a source of finance, both in rural
and urban areas, was common. But the development of Government/Semi Government credit
agencies gave a death blow to it. The Government/Semi Government agencies are: (i) The
Punjab Financial Corporation. It was established in1953 under the State Financial Corporation
Act, 1951, with the object of providing medium and long-term loans to industrial concerns located
in the Punjab State to the extent of Rs 20 lakhs in the case of a public limited company or a
registered co-operative society and 10 lakhs in other case, at a rate of interest of 3 percent above
the bank rate, with a minimum of 9 percent per annum. This amount is repayable in 10 years.
The loans are advanced on the security of land, building, plant and machinery, by way of first
registered mortgage, with a margin of 40 percent of the net assessed value. In case of
Government guarantee, the margin is reduced to 25 percent. ; (ii) The Khadi and Village
Industries Commission. It caters to the financial needs of the khadi and village industries for
short-term loans. ; (iii) Joint Stock Banks ; and (iv) Co-operative banks.
Financial assistance is also rendered by the State Department of Industries under the

In the Gurdaspur District, in the beginning, there was at Gurdaspur a branch of the Doaba
Bank Ltd., but it had a very short life. Thereafter, a branch of the Peoples Bank of Northern India
Ltd. was opened. Though fro a sometime it had a good business, yet it also went into liquidation.
Batala had a branch of Sahukara Bank Ltd. The Amrit Bank Ltd. with its Head Office at Amritsar,
opened a branch at Gurdaspur in 1939 and another one at Batala. The Batala branch was
closed after about a year but another was opened at Dinanagar. At that time, the Amrit Bank was
the only commercial bank at Gurdaspur. Later on, the Central Bank of India Ltd. And the Imperial
Bank of India (now the State Bank of India) also opened their branches there, but these closed
soon after. After the lapse of some period, the Bharat Bank Ltd. and the Punjab National Bank
Ltd. opened their branches at Gurdaspur (in 1944),

Financial ratios are constructed by forming ratios of accounting data contained in the banks
reports of income (i.c balance sheet). Ratio analysis is a part of financial analysis. A ratio analysis
is defined as the indicated quotient of two mathematical expressions and as the relationship
between two or more things. In financial analysis a ratio is use as a benchmark for evaluation
the financial position and performance of a bank. A wide verity of financial ratio can be calculated
to assess different characteristics of financial performance. To evaluate a particular financial ratio
for a bank, comparison with peer group bank is often used. Also it is benefited to track the ratio
over time relative to other banks. Even without comparison with other bank. Ratio trends over
time may provide valuable information about the bank performance.
To measure the performance of the bank it is important to measure source of the ratios to get a
clear picture about the bank and its activities. Some of the important ratios are Return and asset
ratio (ROA), Return on equity (ROE), profit margin and asset utilization ratio.

health. ROE shows what contribution the equity capital has on net income. It measures the
percentage return on each dollar of stockholders equity is the aggregate return to stockholders

NBL should increase own investment in different sectors as like Islami Bank Ltd. if they can
increase their own investment then their cost of capital will reduce.
NBL, Human Resources Department should train their employees with computer
knowledge and their Human Resources Department should arrange training program frequently.
NBL, management should take decision more quickly.
NBL should use group incentives so that employee can share their experience, strength and
