CHAPTER II

INTRODUCTION TO BANKING INDUSTRY

2.1 Introduction

The term Bank is derived from the Italian word banco meaning bench. A bank is a

financial institution where you can deposit your money. It provides a system for easily

transferring money from one person or business to another. Using banks and the many

services they offer saves us an incredible amount of time, and ensures that our funds "pass

hands" in a legal and structured manner.

A bank is a financial institution licensed by a government. Its primary activities include

borrowing and lending money. Many other financial activities were allowed over time. For

example banks are important players in financial markets and offer financial services such

as investment funds. It act as payment agents by conducting checking or current accountsfor customers, paying cheques drawn by customers on the bank, and collecting cheques

deposited to customers' current accounts. It also enables customer payments via other

payment methods such as telegraphic transfer, EFTPOS, and ATM. It borrows money by

accepting funds deposited on current accounts, by accepting term deposits, and by issuing

debt securities such as banknotes and bonds. It lends money by making advances to


6/34

6

customers on current accounts, by making installment loans, and by investing in marketable

debt securities and other forms of money lending.

The following definition can better signify the meaning of banking:

Bank is an organization that provides various financial services, for example keeping or

lending money. [Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary, 2000]

According to Kent, A bank isan organization whose principle operations are concerned

with the accumulation of the temporarily idle money of the general public for the purpose of

advancing to other for expenditure.

The term commercial bankrefers to those who pull together the saving of the community

and arrange their productive use and supply the financial needs of modern business by

various means.

They accept deposit form the public on the condition that they are repayable on the demand

or on short notice. They are restricted to invest their funds in corporate securities and

finance in fixed assets. Their activities are confined to financing the short term needs of

trade and industry such as working capital financing. In addition, they grant loans in the

form of credit card and overdraft.

Commercial bank is a bank which operates currency exchanges transactions, accepts

deposits, provides loan, performs, dealing, relating to commerce except the banks which

have been specified for the cooperatives, agricultural, industrial of similar other specific

objective. [Commercial Bank Act 2031 Section 2(a)]

Banking means accepting for the purpose of lending or investment of deposits of money

from public repayable on demand or otherwise and withdraw able by cheque, drafts order or

otherwise. Banking company means any company which transacts the business of banking.

[Government of India, 1951]

The main objective of commercial bank is to mobilize idle resources for productive use after

collecting them form different places. The function of commercial bank is accepting deposit


7/34

7

namely fixed, current and saving account, safety of public money, remittance of money,

letter of credit, guarantee, loans lending, locker facilities, foreign exchange, serving as agent

of client, etc. Hence, commercial bank is profit oriented financial service institution which

creates money, makes payment mechanism, extension of credit facilities and accepting bills

of exchange of their constituents.

2.2 Development of Banking Industry in Nepal

The modern history of banking in Nepal does not have a long history. It is still in its infancy

stage. It was flourished after financial liberalization policy adopted in 1980s. In context of

development of banks in Nepal, it can be summarized in following three phases:

Phase I

In 1877 AD, Prime Minister Ranoddip Singh introduced financial and economic reforms.

TejarathAdda was established at that time to provide credit facilities to the general public.

Credit facility was given by TejarathAdda on the basis of collateral of gold and silver.

Government employees would get credit at ease because government would pay them less to

deduct the credit amount. Chandra Shamsher extended the services of TejarathAdda outside

valley. TejarathAdda extended credit facilities to more and more general public and did not

accept deposit from public. Due to this reason, TejarathAdda finally faced a crisis. People

started borrowing money from lenders who charged a high interest rate and other dues.

Although Kaushi Tosh Khana was established during the regime of PrithiviNararyan

Shah, TejarathAdda is regarded as the foundation of modern banking in Nepal. However, it

was the beginning of banking in Nepal.

Phase II


8/34

8

In 1937, Nepal Bank Limited (NBL) with the co-operation of Imperial Bank of India came

into existence. NBL played dual role of commercial bank as well as central bank until 26th

April, 1956, on which date, Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) was established. NBL was a semi-

government bank. RastriyaBanijya Bank (RBB) was established in 23rd January, 1966.

Nepal Industrial Development Bank (NIDC) was established as a development bank in 1959

and Agricultural Development Bank (ADB) was established in 1968. Since 1984 the ADB

has also been allowed to do commercial banking in selected urban areas with the aim to

mobilize resources domestically and channel funds to the agriculture and rural sector. Nepal

adopted financial liberalization policy in 1984 by amending Commercial Bank Act 1974.

Liberalization was adopted to welcome private sector in banking industry and to increase

competition among them.

Phase III

The pace of financial liberalization actually started when the government allowed the entry

of commercial banks in joint venture with foreign bank. As a reform measure initiated in the

year 1984, government allowed ADB branches to conduct commercial banking business in

the urban areas. A Credit Information Bureau (CIB) was established in 1989 under the aegis

of Nepal Bankers Association with the objective of disseminating credit information among

its member institutions.

Nepal Arab Bank Limited (NABIL) was the first joint venture bank established in 1984

A.D., joint ventured with United Arab Emirates Bank. Then two other banks, Nepal

Indosuez Bank Ltd. (Present: Nepal Investment Bank) with Indosuez Bank of France and

Nepal Grindlays Bank Ltd. (Present: Standard Chartered Bank Nepal Ltd.) with Grindlays

Bank of London were established in 1986 and 1987 respectively. Himalayan Bank Ltd. joint

ventured with Habib Bank of Pakistan and SBI Bank Ltd. With State Bank of India were

established in 1993 A.D. Nepal Bangladesh Bank Ltd. With IFIC (International Finance

Investment and Commercial) Bank of Bangladesh was established in 1993 A.D. Bank of

Kathmandu joint ventured with SIAM Commercial Bank Public Co., Thailand was

established in 1995 A.D. Nepal Bank of Ceylon (Present: Nepal Credit and Commerce


9/34

Bank) joint ventured with Ceylon Bank of Sri-Lanka was established in 1996 A.D. Everest

Bank Ltd. joined hands with Punjab National Bank as a joint ventured bank in1997 A.D. At

present, there are 32 commercial banks, 79 development banks, and 79 finance companies.

2.3 Functions of Commercial Bank

In Nepal, the Commercial Banks perform the following functions:

a. Accepting Deposits

This is the oldest function conducted by commercial banks. It accepts deposits in three

forms. They are as current, saving and fixed deposit accounts. Deposited amount is

repayable on demand or on short notice. Interest is provided in saving and fixed deposit

accounts whereas in current account interest provision is not given. Customers of fixed

deposit account are required to keep fixed amount with bank for a fixed period.

b. Providing Loans

This is the second important function for commercial banks. It provides loans and advances

from the money it receives from depositors. Different types of loan or credit facilities are

provided to borrowers against tangible and intangible securities. Various types of loan such

as education loan, vehicle loan or personal loan are given as per the loan need of customer.

clients. The bank makes payment of the cheques, draft and bills of exchange presented by

mail transfer and telegraphic transfer on customers request. It also pays utility expenses on

behalf of its customers. The banks on the request of its customers buy and sell a companys

shares and government security bonds and also collects the interest on the same.

d. Credit Creation

business environment. Banks open current or loan account in the name of borrowers and

allow them to withdraw required sum according to borrowers need. Therefore banks create

the other hand, it also accepts the bills drawn by foreign exporters.

g. Information and Other Services

1967 with the main objective of providing institutional credit for enhancing the production

and productivity of the agricultural sector in our country Nepal. The Land Reform Savings

Corporation was merged with ADBN in 1973. Subsequent amendments to the Act

empowered the bank to extend credit to small farmers under group liability and expand the

scope of financing to promote cottage industries. The amendments also permitted the bank

It is another important task done under account operation. It is very rare that you encounter

an account closing request at the customer desk at ADBL. People close their accounts

because of many reasons.

Procedures to close an account are given below:

close the account by explaining the benefit of the account and the charges taken for

closing the account.

Step2. If the customers are willing to close the account, he/she must fill up the form

specifying the reason.

Step3. After submission of the firm to CSD, it is confirmed from the various department that

the customer is not enjoying and sort of facility from the bank at present.
