CLEARING DEPARTMENT
In this department, I have worked for two weeks. NIFT representative receives all the cheques from the branches at 4 o clock and makes the lots of these cheques again. Next day at early in the morning NIFT sends to their relevant branches where the validity of these cheques is verified and the accounts of the relevant clients are affected.
TYPES OF CHEQUE
Some specific types of cheque are being entertained in the clearing department of NBP Main Branch, Lahore.
These types of cheque are:
Local cheque
Out station cheque
In house cheque
TYPES OF CLEARING
Clearing department deals with the two type of the clearance.
These are stated below:
INWARD CLEARANCE
Cheque drawn on NBP and presented to other Banks or handed over to NBP agent in clearing house. That is inward clearance for NBP. So inward clearing results in outflow of funds to collecting bands reducing the balance in the clearing account.
OUTWARD CLEARANCE
Similarly cheques which are drawn on other bank are known as outward clearance for NBP. So outward clearing results in inflow of funds from paying bank into the clearing account maintained with clearing house increasing the balance in the clearing account.
Outward clearing thus may be:
Local clearing
Outstation clearing
Excess of outward clearing over inward clearing produces a net increase in the clearing account balance. Excess of inward clearing over outward. Clearing produces a net decrease in the clearing account balance. The first case is referred to as favorable clearing & the second case as unfavorable clearing.
REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT
Remittance is the monitory transfer from one place to another place or from one country to another country to fulfill the requirements of the customers by the order of the customer.
Remittance Department can be divided into two sections due to its activities.
Local Remittance
Foreign Remittance
1) - LOCAL REMITTANCE

-Demand drafts

-Telegraphic transfer
In this department internees are advised only to observe the working of transfer of money from one place to another place of the country by the above modes of transferring money. During my stay in this department I observed that how demands draft be issued. The procedure is as follows.
Demand Draft
Demand draft is a popular mode of transfer. The customer fills the application form. Application form includes the beneficiary name, account number and a sender's name. The customer deposits the amount of DD in the branch. After the payment the DD is prepared and given to the customer. NBP officials note the transaction in issuance register on the page of that branch of NBP on which DD is drawn and will prepare the advice to send to that branch. The account of the customer is credited when the DD advice from originating branch comes to the responding branch and the account is debited when DD comes for clearance. DD are of two types.
Open DD: Where direct payment is made.
Cross DD: Where payment is made though account.

Mail Transfer
When the money is not required immediately, the remittances can also be made by mail transfer (MT). Here the selling office of the bank sends instructions in writing by mail to the paying bank for the payment of a specified amount of money.

0.0745Interpretation
Higher the total asset turnover the more efficiently its assets have been used. This measure was probably of greatest interest to management, because it indicates whether the efficient operations have been financially efficient. Total asset turnover is increasing in 2008 as compared with 2009 which is a good sign.

CONCLUSIONS
National bank of Pakistan NBP is the largest bank of Pakistan and has more employees than any other bank in the country.
The bank recognizes that the enlightened management of their people means developing the full potential of all employees and creating a climate in which equal opportunities is a reality in both attitude and practice of employment.

NBP is the only government owned bank that provides services to the public. It has the largest business volume and profit earning in the country.
Bank has an effective HRM department that looks after the all aspects of the employees. Bank has some shortcomings with regards to HRM which are being addressed. The Staff of the Bank is very slow and lazy
OBSERVATIONS
It is tough to led professional life especially as employee of any organization. Everyone has to work as machine to get desire outcomes. Simply it is not easy to earn.
COMMENTS
Mostly students have to do their internship after any professional degree. But in MBA (Banking & Finance) internship is really fruitful in all the way.
EXPECTATIONS
Truly all of my expectations here in NBP are fulfilled except stipend. I was expecting stipend from bank.
ANALYSIS
NBP is ideal ground to learn because it is only government bank left in the country. So it deals in all government transactions which other bank don't provide.
LIMITATIONS
Mostly NBP branches are not online. That's why I could't learn online banking system.
Bank is not computerized and mostly the work is done manually.
Bank doesn't have any major marketing department.
