INDUSTRY PROFILE

Early History of Banks

Currently, India has 96 scheduled commercial banks(SCBs) -

27 public sector banks (that is with the Government of India

holding a stake), 31 private banks (these do not have

government stake; they may be publicly listed and traded on

stock exchanges) and 38 foreign banks. They have a

combined network of over 53,000 branches and 49,000

ATMs. According to a report by ICRA (Investment Information and Credit Rating Agency

ofIndia Limited) a rating agency, the public sector banks hold over 75 percent of total assets

of the banking industry, with the private and foreign banks holding 18.2% and 6.5%

respectively.

Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The first banks were The

General Bank of India which started in 1786, and the Bank of Hindustan, both of which are

now defunct. The oldest bank in existence in India is the State Bank of India, which originated

in the Bank of Calcutta in June 1806, which almost immediately became the Bank of Bengal.

This was one of the three presidency banks, the other two being the Bank of Bombay and the

Bank of Madras, all three of which were established under charters from the British East India

Company. For many years the Presidency banks acted as quasi-centralbanks, as did their

successors. The three banks merged in 1921 to form the Imperial Bank of India, which, upon

India's independence, became the State Bank of India.

Indian merchants in Calcutta established the Union Bank in 1839, but it failed in 1848 as a

consequence of the economic crisis of 1848-49. The Allahabad Bank, established in 1865 and

still functioning today, is the oldest Joint Stock bank in India.(Joint Stock Bank: A company

that issues stock and requires shareholders to be held liable for the company's debt) It was not

the first though. That honor belongs to the Bank of Upper India, which was established in



4/61


1863, and which survived until 1913, when it failed, with some of its assets and liabilities

being transferred to the Alliance Bank of Shimla.

When the American Civil War stopped the supply of cotton to Lancashire from the

Confederate States, promoters opened banks to finance trading in Indian cotton. With large

exposure to speculative ventures, most of the banks opened in India during that period failed.

The depositors lost money and lost interest in keeping deposits with banks. Subsequently,

banking in India remained the exclusive domain of Europeans for next several decades until

the beginning of the 20th century.

Foreign banks too started to arrive, particularly in Calcutta, in the 1860s. The Comptoire

d'Escompte de Paris opened a branch in Calcutta in 1860, and another in Bombay in 1862;

branches in Madras and Pondicherry, then a French colony, followed. HSBC established itself

in Bengal in 1869. Calcutta was the most active trading port in India, mainly due to the trade

of the British Empire, and so became a banking center.

The Bank of Bengal, which later merged with the Bank of Bombay

and the Bank of Madras to form the Imperial Bank of India in

1921.

The first entirely Indian joint stock bank was the Oudh Commercial Bank, established in 1881 in

Faizabad. It failed in 1958. The next was the Punjab National Bank, established



5/61


in Lahore in 1895, which has survived to the present and is now one of the largest banks in

India.

Around the turn of the 20th Century, the Indian economy was passing through a relative period of

stability. Around five decades had elapsed since the Indian Mutiny, and the social, industrial and

other infrastructure had improved. Indians had established small banks, most of which served

particular ethnic and religious communities.

Banking industry in India

The Banking Industry was once a simple and reliable business that took deposits from investors at alower interest rate and loaned it out to borrowers at a higher rate.

The Banking Industry was once a simple and reliable business that took deposits from investors at a

lower interest rate and loaned it out to borrowers at a higher rate.

However deregulation and technology led to a revolution in the Banking Industry that saw it

transformed. Banks have become global industrial powerhouses that have created ever more complex

products that use risk and securitization in models that only PhD students can understand. Through

technology development.

Banking services have become available 24 hours a day, 365 days a week, through ATMs, at online

banking, and in electronically enabled exchanges where everything from stocks to currency futures

contracts can be traded.



6/61


The Banking Industry at its core provides access to credit. In the lenders case, this includes access to

their own savings and investments, and interest payments on those amounts. In the case of borrowers,

it includes access to loans for the creditworthy, at a competitive interest rate.

Banking services include transactional services, such as verification of account details, account

balance details and the transfer of funds, as well as advisory services that help individuals and

institutions to properly plan and manage their finances. Online banking channels have become key in

the last 10 years.

The collapse of the Banking Industry in the Financial Crisis, however, means that some of the more

extreme risk-taking and complex securitization activities that banks increasingly engaged in since

2000 will be limited and carefully watched, to ensure that there is not another banking system

meltdown in the future.

Vision of Banks in India

The banking scenario in India has already gained all the momentum, with the domestic and

international banks gathering pace. The focus of all banks in India has shifted their approach to 'cost',

determined by revenue minus profit. This means that all the resources should be used efficiently to

better the productivity and ensure a win-win situation. To survive in the long run, it is essential tofocus on cost saving. Previously, banks focused on the 'revenue' model which is equal to cost plus

profit. Post the banking reforms, banks shifted their approach to the 'profit' model, which meant that

banks aimed at higher profit maximization.

Success Path for Banker

One of the biggest problems facing senior managers of banks today is attracting customers and

attaining growth, often in an environment where products and prices among competitors are close

substitutes. Traditional bases for differentiation, such as product features or cost, are becoming less

tangible. So the managements are forced to look for new ways to appear attractive to its target market

and simultaneously retain the existing one. From the annual survey conduct by FICCI, we found that

they rank their business strategies that have helped them in increased customer acquisition and

retention (On a scale of 1 to 8 with 8 being the most important marketing strategy). The results of the

Mode score being accorded by the Public, Private& Foreign banks are presented below:



7/61


Technology has moved from being just a business enabler to being a business driver. Be it customer

service, reducing operational costs, achieving profitability, developing risk management systems, we

turn to technology for providing necessary solution. Technological up gradation was clearly identified

as one of the most successful strategy in Customer Acquisition and Retention followed by Expansion

of ATM Network, Advertisements and additional sales force.

Customer Retention and Customer Satisfaction are inexorably interred - linked. While consumers

may be happy to make payments and interact with their bank through convenient and cheaper

banking channels, they still expect high standards of service. A consistent service reflects the banks

brand and image across all channels. 93.75 per cent of respondent banks informed that superior

service pre and post banking has been one of the essential factors rated high by their customers. 75

per cent of respondent banks felt that Personal touch in the dealings has helped them in winning

customers.

Challenges facing by Banking industry in India

The banking industry in India is undergoing a major transformation due to changes in economic

conditions and continuous deregulation. These multiple changes happening one after other has a

ripple effect on a bank Refer fig. trying to graduate from completely regulated sellers market to

completed deregulated customers market.



8/61


Future challenges of Banks in India

The Indian banks are hopeful of becoming a global brand as they are the major source of financial

sector revenue and profit growth. The financial services penetration in India continues to be healthy,

thus the banking industry is also not far behind. As a result of this, the profit for the Indian banking

industry will surely surge ahead. The profit pool of the Indian banking industry is probable to

augment from US$ 4.8 billion in 2005 to US$ 20 billion in 2010 and further to US$ 40 billion by

2015. This growth and expansion pace would be driven by the chunk of middle class population. The

increase in the number of private banks, the domestic credit market of India is estimated to grow from

US$ 0.4 trillion in 2004 to US$ 23 trillion by 2050. Third largest banking hub of the globe by 2040 -

is that vision too far away?

FUTURE PLANS OF PNB

PNB TO ENTER STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH METLIFE INDIA

Punjab National Bank (PNB) and MetLife India, an affiliate of MetLife Inc., announced today that

PNB will be inducted as a joint venture partner in the company. The Board of PNB, in its meeting

held on 28th July, accepted the offer made by MetLife India for acquiring 30% stake in the company.

The transaction is subject to approvals from IRDA, RBI and other regulatory bodies.

PNB started the process in December last year when it invited expression of interest from insurance

companies across the world. The Bank received responses from 26 Indian and international

companies proposing different models. After evaluation of the various models, the Bank opted to

participate in a brownfield venture by acquiring stake in an existing Indian life insurance company.Accordingly, RFP was issued to 10 Indian insurance companies who had proposed this model. Based



31/61


on the technical evaluations, the Bank had shortlisted 3 life insurance companies. After evaluation of

the financial bids of the three shortlisted companies, the Bank accepted the offer of MetLife India.

MetLife India Insurance Company Limited (MetLife) is an affiliate of MetLife, Inc. and was

incorporated as a joint venture between MetLife International Holdings, Inc., The Jammu and

Kashmir Bank, M. Pallonji and Co. Private Limited and other private investors. MetLife is one of the

fastest growing life insurance companies in the country. It serves its customers by offering a range of

innovative products to individuals and group customers at more than 600 locations through its bank

partners and company-owned offices. MetLife has more than 30,000 Financial Advisors, who help

customers achieve peace of mind across the length and breadth of the country.

PNB is the largest nationalized bank having a branch network of 5,290 branches and a customer base

of over 60 million. The partnership with MetLife will provide PNB, insurance expertise and

bancassurance capabilities that will be an asset to the bank as it pursues its growth strategy in India

and seeks to expand its leadership in the Indian financial services market. This will further strengthen

the companys position as a leader in the rapidly expanding bank distribution channel.

Following the closing of the transaction, the company will rebrand itself as PNB MetLife to leverage

the strengths of the two brands in the Indian market.

On this occasion, Mr. K. R. Kamath, Chairman and Managing Director of the Bank informed that

"We are happy that the process which has set a benchmark in the industry has helped us to find the

best insurance partner for the Bank in MetLife. With 60% branches in the rural and semi urban

areas, PNB is uniquely positioned to take insurance to the deep pockets of India. This partnership has

the potential to drive the company into the top tier of Indian life insurers and more than double itsmarket share." Mr. Kamath also acknowledged the role of Boston Consulting Group for running the

process which has been well acknowledged by the industry.

William J. Toppeta, President International of MetLife expressed his pleasure at the tie up "Given its

global significance, India is a strategic focus market for MetLife. We believe that the addition of an

outstanding financial institution like PNB as a shareholder and partner will greatly enhance MetLife

India's ability to move into the top tier of life companies here. We value PNB and our current

shareholders for their integrity, market knowledge, distribution power and financial strength. We look



32/61


forward to a long and productive partnership for the mutual benefit of Indian consumers and our

respective shareholders".

CHAPTER 3

FUNCTIONAL DEPARTMENTS OF A BANK

Subject to governmental authority - National or State, according to its charter - the

management of any bank is vested in its board of directors. Such directors are elected by the

stockholders. The directors elect the officers, president, vice-president, cashier and assistant cashier,

who are the executive heads of the institution and are charged with the duty of administering its

affairs. The number of vice-presidents and assistant cashiers depends upon the size of the bank. Thedirectors may also appoint committees - such as a discount committee, an executive committee, and

an examination committee - that the business of the bank may seem to require. According to the

character of their duties and responsibilities, bank officers and employees may be classified as (1)

executives, (2) tellers, (3) bookkeepers. Whenever it becomes necessary, on account of volume of

business, to divide the work in a bank intodivisions, each employing a group of clerks, such divisions

are organized into departments each having a department head, who is usually a teller, a head

bookkeeper, or perhaps a junior officer. In the very large banks the executive staff is itself organized

into groups, and there may be a vice-president and one or two assistant cashiers in charge of each

important department. The work of a department in a large bank is nothing more nor less than the

work of a single man in a small bank apportioned among several men. The departments into which a

medium sized bank is ordinarily divided are as follows:

(1) Receiving Teller's Department (Teller)

Receives, receipts for and proves deposits, distributes checks to bookkeepers and other

departments, preparesexchanges for clearing houses, and turnscashoverto the paying teller at end of

day.

(2) Transit Department (Teller)

The transit department may be a subdivision of the receiving teller's department and was

formerly known by other terms, such as correspondence, foreign check, miscellaneous check or

country check department. This department assorts checks and othercash items payable out of town,

indorses them and lists them on letters addressed to other banks. It gives totals of outgoing or

remittance letters to general ledger bookkeeper at end of day. This department often keeps the records

of exchange charged on out-of-town checks, and of delayed credits on interest balances made

necessary because of uncollected funds deposited.

(3) Paying Teller's Department (Teller)

Pays or certifies checks, is in charge of the signature book or cards bearing the authorized

signatures of all depositors, ships currency, is in charge of the vault cash, and makes up payrolls.

(4)Note Teller's Department (Teller)

35/61


Collects notes and drafts due at the bank or elsewhere in the city. It is usually in charge of the

runners ormessenger department, which is a subdivision, and it usually receives deposits made by

other banks, and may perform the functions of a mail teller.

(5) Collection Department (Teller)

Collects notes, drafts and other "time" items when payable out of town, and credits accounts

of depositors when collectionsare advised paid.

(6) Loan orDiscount Department (Executive)

Receives notes submitted for discount or makes loans, figures discount and interest, and has

charge of collateral securing loans.

(7) Credit Department (Executive)

Secures and collects information relating to borrowers, checks statements submitted by

them, and is in charge of credit files, which contain information as to the reliability, business habits

and financial strength of borrowers.

In the largebanksit would be impractical, if not impossible, for the cashier, in addition to his other

duties, to keep track of every local borrower and the bank may employ a " credit man," who

specializes in credits. The next step is the organization of a credit department, usually in charge of

one of the officers of the bank. The credit department collects and files every available bit of

information concerning people or firms that borrow money. This material consists of financial

reports, press clippings, personal interviews, statements of condition and, in fact, every item that has

even a remote bearing upon the standing of borrowers. It requires technical training of a high order

properly to classify and analyze this data, but the fundamental idea is to acquire the same knowledge

of the true facts that a country bank cashier has with respect to his neighbor. A simple but practical

definition of credit is "the ability to buy with a promise to pay," in other words, to obtain present

value for a promise to pay in the future. He who has "good credit" can command either goods or

money because of the faith or belief that others have in his promise. The word "credit" is derived

from the Latin "credo." It is not only essential that the borrower have the ability to pay his note when

it is due - he must also have the desire or inclination to pay. Credit is primarily based upon confidence

which has as its basis three things. First and foremost is character, the "moral risk" which is

indispensable in every case. Then comes capacity, the borrower's ability and business methods.

Thirdly, they have capital which, while essential, is distinctly secondary to character and capacity, a

combination which is very apt to attract capital. The banker, naturally, in selecting his customers

knows that he may be asked to extend credit. He first satisfies himself that the factors of character and

capacity are such as to justify confidence. This information is obtained from personal knowledge of

the borrower, and by information obtained through other banks, through "the trade" and by agency

reports. Trade inquiries are directed to people selling goods to and competitors of the borrower. If all

this information is satisfactory, the capital factor is studied in the borrower's financial statement of

condition, which balance sheet should be taken off at regular intervals. It must show a sufficiently

"liquid" position to satisfy the banker that his loancan and will be repaid when due. To show this,

there must be an ample margin of quick assets (those readily convertible into cash) over current

liabilities to enable the borrower, despite any natural shrinkage of values in liquidation, readily to

meet his obligations. This ratio is often called the 2 to 1 ratio, but differs in proportion according to

the character of the business in question. The ability to loan money wisely and to those who are

entitled to it - in short, the ability to distinguish between a safe risk and an unsafe one - is the quality

that marks the good banker

(8) Analysis or Statistical Department (Executive)

Determine which are profitable and which are losing accounts, makes monthly reports to officers, is

in charge of statistics relating to the bank's accounts and matters in which the bank is particular.

This department is usually found in city banks. It analyzes the accounts of depositors to rely

interested. It is closely related to the transit department.

(9) General Ledger Department (Bookkeepers)

37/61


Keeps the general orcontrolaccounts of the bank, and makes up the bank's statement of

condition.

(10) Country Bank Account Department (Bookkeepers)

This department is confined to city banks. It keeps the accounts of other banks.

(11) Individual Ledger Department (Bookkeepers)

Keeps the records of the balances of individual depositors and figures interest on accounts. It

may be subdivided as to kind of accounts (savings, dealers), in addition to ordinary alphabetical

division, and may balance pass-books or there may be a separate department for this purpose using

the statement system.

(12) Auditor's Department (Executive)

This department is responsible for the settlement of the various departments, reconciles the

accounts with other banks, and certifies interest calculations. In addition to these departments, there

are others to be found either in very large banks or even in small banks operating special features.

Among the first might be noted the coupon department, exchange department, purchasing department,

filing department, interest department, new business department, etc., all of which terms are self-

explanatory. Among special departments may be mentioned the foreign exchange department, the

bond department, safety deposit department, special deposit department (securities and valuables

stored with the bank, but not placed in private boxes). In trust companies there is the trust department,

which may have a complete independent organization of its own, with officers, bookkeepers and

other clerks. This department has charge of the trust accounts.

Bank Account Section

A bank account is a financial account with a banking institution, recording the financial

transactions between the customer and the bank and the resulting financial position of the customer

with the bank

Bank accounting consists in making written, permanent records of every transaction. Every

penny must be accounted for. The statement of the bank, which they have just discussed, shows the

general, or control, accounts of the bank, and the various books of the bank show the detail of these

items. It would not be impossible, but it would be entirely impractical, to enter every figure directly

on the statement of condition. They might imagine an enormous sheet on which the capital is entered

as to the ownership of each share of stock. Instead of total deposits, the balance of each depositor

would appear opposite his name. On the other side, instead ofloans and discounts, there would be an

itemized list of the loans with the names of the borrowers. With such a sheet spread out over a floor

space of great area, they might imagine the clerks crawling up and down the columns like flies

making debits and credits. This is, of course, absurd, but it is precisely what happens, except that the

entries are made on books, loose leaves or cards, and the final results are posted on the statement of

condition which is thus altered day by day.

As in other matters they have mentioned, banks are also alike with respect to bank accounting,

the same principles govern whether the bank is large or small, national bank or trust company. All the

books are a part of the general books, and the extent to which they are divided depends on the size of

the bank. Division is made to fit the capacity of the clerk. When any part of the work becomes too

burdensome for one man, he may be given an assistant or the books and records will be further

divided, so that two men can do the same thing without conflicting. In very large banks a clerk may

spend all his time listing checks upon a sheet, or adding up certain columns of figures or doing any

one of a thousand things that must be done in the process of keeping accounts. Unless he is studious

and observant, he loses sight of the fact that his work is a part of the whole, he becomes mechanical,

falls into a rut and banking, instead of being an interesting employment full of possibilities, is to him

mere drudgery. He is standing so close to the machinery that he allows it to master him instead of

broadening his vision by study and thus mastering his task.

39/61


The first principle in bank accounting, as in all other bookkeeping, is that for every debit there

must be a credit, and vice-versa. In accordance with this fundamental theory the books must always

be in balance. As they have seen with respect to the statement, every dollar of liabilities is accounted

for by another dollar of resources. This is true of every bank. If the institution is large enough to be

divided into departments, such departments are charged with all funds passing through their hands,

and they must show on their records what has become of every penny. Similarly each clerk,

bookkeeper ortelleraccounts at the end of the day for each item of cash he has handled. When he has

done so he is said to have "settled," "balanced" or "struck a proof." Every bank clerk has had the

experience of remaining at his desk until a late hour at night checking up his day's work searching for

a difference of a few cents. Often he becomes embittered at what seems to him a tyranny when the

small sum ofmoney involved is considered. The reason he must settle, however, is not on account of

the possible loss of ten cents, but because the most important principle in bank accounting is

involved. "Accuracy first" is a motto that should be framed, figuratively at least, upon the wall of

every banking room.

The books used by a bank are of various kinds and their purpose is indicated by name. A ledger is

a book used to keep a record of balances. To "post" means to enter in the proper columns either the

debits or credits on the ledger, and the difference between them represents the balance either due by

or to the bank. Most banks are doing away with bound books, especially ledgers, and substituting

cards or loose leaves. This plan enables several men to work on the same records, which would be

impossible if they were bound in a single book. Alphabetical division is also easier of adjustment and

"inactive" accounts can be readily separated from "active" accounts. Totals of balances can be listed

upon adding machines for proof more easily from loose sheets than from bound books. But whether

bound or not, records of balances are kept upon ledgers.

A journal is a book in which daily transactions are listed in regular order as to accounts, and the total

debit or credit is then posted on the ledgers. Journals, too, may be loose sheets so that they can be

inserted in the carriage of an adding machine; indeed, machines have been invented upon which both

debits and credits may be written and the machine will automatically subtract or add and print the

new balance. The journal, then, is merely a subdivision of the ledger.

A depositor of the bank wishes his account to be charged and the money paid to a named payee. The

piece of paper upon which he writes this order is a "check." If he deposits money, he writes the

memorandum of the amount upon a ruled slip of paper and this is the "deposit ticket." Bookkeepers

enter debit and credit records upon their journals directly from these items. Money, however, may

change hands or from one account to another, in other ways; by letter, telegram or other debit and

credit advice. In such cases a "charge ticket" or "credit slip," as the case may be, is signed or initialed

by an officer of the bank, and entry with full explanation is made upon a book from which record the

bookkeeper makes his entries. This book is known as a "scratcher," "tickler" or a "blotter." The terms

mean practically the same thing. A book, upon which a complete description of a negotiable

instrument or transaction is made for a permanent record or for reference, is called a register. For

example, bond register collection register, etc.

All other books, cards, sheets of whatever nature are a part or subdivisions of these books. Often

they become known among the clerks by some other name descriptive of their general appearance.

For instance, the general ledgerscratcher in one bank is known as the "red book," while the collection

department scratcher is the "black book." These names have stuck through generations of clerks, and

a young man going into another bank has been known to ask for the "black book," and being

untrained in accounting, he had difficulty in making himself understood. Similarly, in New York City

banks the pigeonholed desk where checks are assorted for the clearing house is generally known as

the "clearing house rack." A New York bank clerk visiting a Philadelphia institution and asking to see

the "rack" would probably be shown a hat room.

The records made by one clerk upon one set of books, in a well-appointed accounting system, go

to check the records of another clerk upon a different set of books. For instance, thepaying tellerandthe receiving tellerwill each keep a record of checks cashed or deposited payable within the bank.

The debit postings of the individual bookkeeper would agree with the teller's figures. Skillful

accounting lies in making the fullest possible use of original entries, at the same time having a check

on all figures to guard against either error or fraud. Many young bank men have materially increased

their salaries and rate of promotion by devising improved accounting methods.

As has been said, every transaction ultimately affects the bank's statement of condition by debit

or credit. Refer again to the outline statement shown in the preceding chapter. A deposit of $1,000.00is made, consisting of $200.00 cash and checks as follows: $200.00 on the bank itself and $600.00

payable in another city. At the end of the day (assuming this to be the only deposit), on the liabilities

side there is an increase of $800.00, all of which appears in the item "deposits" being the total

$1,000.00, less the check for $200.00 which is charged to the account of the drawer. On the resource

side, then, they must have a corresponding increase of $800.00, and this is made up by an increase in

the cash of $200.00 and an increase of $600.00 in the item "due from banks." Or a transaction may

appear on one side of the statement only. The bank has sold $5,000.00 of the bonds it owns. The bond

item of resources would show a reduction of this amount, and either "cash" or "due from banks"

would be increased, depending whether payment was made in cash or by check. If payment for the

bonds is made with a check on the bank itself, both sides of the statement are affected, a

corresponding reduction in deposits taking place.

In addition to these departments, there are others to be found either in very large banks or even in

small banks operating special features.

Coupon department

Exchange department

Purchasing department

Filing department

Interest department

New business department

Some of the special departments are:

Thebond department

Safety deposit department

Special deposit department (securities and valuables stored with the bank, but not

placed in private boxes).

CONCLUSION

The Organizational studies mean the study of organizations from multiple viewpoints, methods

and levels of analysis. The organizational study done in Punjab National Bank helped to analyse

the administrative function of the organization and also the operations of various departments like,

Accounts Department, Credit Monitoring Department, Corporate Financial Management, I T

Division Department, Integrated Risk Management Department (IRMD), Inspection and Vigilance

Department, Legal Department, Marketing Department, Personnel Department, Planning and

Development, NRI Cell Department, Secretarial Department, Organization Methods &

Compliance Department etc..

Finally I did my detailed study in the Accounts Department and I have found the policies, process,

and functions and the major issues in the department. I have founded that the bank is presently

facing problem of identification of signature of the customers when they are showing their

documents and cheques. So the bank should take proper steps to solve these problems and they

should give proper guidance to their customers.

My experience with Punjab National Bank is outstanding. While working in Punjab National Bank

I found that this bank has developed manifold by their long experience due to facilities and

services provided to their customer and this growth rate can be keep it up if they start to go in

semi-urban areas. In last couple of years they have opened new many branches and they should

open many more. The working staffs are very co-operative in nature and due to that the bank will

also get good benefit. Punjab National Bank has provided their customer Net-banking facilities



55/61


and due to that transactions are done fast. Charges at Punjab National Bank are on lower side

when we compare it with other Banks.

Being a huge government sector bank PNB, in association with parent RBI along with other

subsidiary banks it has got enormous resources at its disposals to give wide range of services to

the customers As for my report on, ORGANIZATIONAL STUDY AT PNB is concerned it is

really an enhancing experience for me in so many ways. In fact I can rightfully claim to have

achieved my predetermined objective.
