1.5 Limitation of the Study

Nothing is perfect. It is true everything must have the limitations. Although
various efforts have been made to collect data and information for the internship
report. Sometimes authentic data for analysis couldnt found as the prompters of the
project think it can disclose their industries secrecy.

The various limitations of the study are as follows:

Though the both primary and secondary sources of data have been used in
the report they lack precision due to securely problem of the company.
The information gathered was only of Sanima Bank Limited; information
of other bank was not possible.
The workload of employee and supervisor was quite hard to give proper
guidance to the intern.
The report may not have complete information about the other department
of the bank. Almost most of the time was spent on CSD.

2.5 Organizational structure of Pokhara Branch

Typically hierarchical is the arrangement of lines of authority,
communications, rights and duties of an organization. Organizational structure
determines how the roles, power and responsibilities are assigned, controlled, and
coordinated, and how information flows between the different levels of management.
A structure depends on the organization's objectives and strategy. In a centralized
structure, the top layer of management has most of the decision making power and
has tight control over departments and divisions. In a decentralized structure, the
decision making power is distributed and the departments and divisions may have
different degrees of independence. The structure can be shown as:

 33

I have completed my internship from New Road, Pokhara Branch. The

duration of internship was 3 months. During internship period I have used different
methodology to study organizational activities. The nature of the report is qualitative
and quantitative and the source is primary and secondary. This report is completed
with the help of both primary and secondary data. Most of the primary data are
collected through day to day operation with staff of SBL, direct dealings with the
customer in the bank, personal involvements in the activities of bank, observations of
the bank and its environment and daily activities during internship. Secondary data
are already published books, journal articles, newspapers as well as administrative,
annual report of Sanima Bank Limited, broacher of Sanima Bank Limited, website of
Sanima Bank Limited.

From the analysis and presentation of data, facts and figure various conclusion
has been derived which are as follows:

The banking procedure of SBL is conducted under Nepal Rastra Bank. It

commenced its business as a commercial Bank and uses software called
PUMORI BANKING SOFTWARE.
SBL offers 9 banking service and 10 product, which are highly used by
customers.
SBL have different department which are customer service department,
system G.S.D. and accounts department, Guarantee L.C and Loan
Department. The customer service department is most busy department.
After the internship period of 3 months I have gained many banking
knowledge and now I am able to operate any department of bank and
share my banking experience very comfortably.
Only academic knowledge does not make any student complete so
practical implications are very important and internship helps to explore
practical knowledge.
SBL is one of the best commercial bank in Nepal. It has its own banking
environment. Comparing to Pokhara Branch it was very comfortable to
work, staffs were very helpful and friendly, working system is simple
and advance.

account with.

between customer and bank.

CHAPTER IV
RECOMMENDATION

4.1 Recommendation to the Organization

The recommendation of this study is duely based on the financial analysis of

Sanima bank. So, recommendations are given to the financial performance of the bank
as follows:

Nowadays many joint ventures banks are establishing in Nepal. So bank

should be competent enough to compete with them.
The bank should have consistent dividend payout ratio so that the shareholder
could be motivated parallely.
Sanima should distribute its brochure, product papers and about its new
services firstly to their existing customers and sustains them well.
To make people aware of its services bank should use more effective
promotional tools like advertisement through F.M, T.V, and Hoarding Board
on different places etc.
The limited number of staff s is also the problem in the bank even though they
are handling the task.
Bank should focus not only the special clients but it must focus deprived
clients too.
Today is the age of modern technology. So it must be quick in adopting new
technology in comparison to its rivals.
 39

4.2 Recommendation to the College

For the completion of the internship as well as for the success of report writing
Nepal Tourism and Hotel Management Collage has a significant role. Though the
college administration and the teachers supported in internship period and report
writing there are some recommendations for the college:

College should arrange the entire student for intern in time according to the
student interest.
The internship time period is very short and student are not getting time to
work. So college should make provision of internship for a whole semester.
College should supervise continuously to students for report writing and
manage the college schedule during internship time.
College should make available of organization for internship instead of
students personal effort.
Some teachers need to visit in banks or some other financial institutions to ask
about the students performance.
College should force students to complete their internship and internship
report on time.
