ANALYSIS

While making an analysis of The Bank Of Punjab, as a financial

institution, wefind that this institution came into existence in
pursuance of Bank of Punjab Act,
1989 passed in the legislative Assembly of Province of Punjab. In the
short span
Of about 15 years, it become the fifth largest bank in the county with
266
Branches net work all over the country.

While having an opportunity to go for internship at the branch, I

have observed the following reservations:-
The Katchery Bazar branch is housed in small banking premises
which does not
suffice the requirements of visiting clientele as well as corporate
clients of the Bank. By having a glance over the current business of the
branch, the same should immediately be shifted to some spacious
building so that best banking services can be offered to the bank
customers. Moreover, though the branch is automated yet required
number of PCs etc has not been provided resultantly, the staff has to
wait their turn to accomplish their daily job. Same case is with furniture
of the branch which has almost completed its normal life and required
immediate replacement.

LIMITATIONS
- To go for internship in Foreign Trade due to bank’s policy.
- Short term internship duration
