INTRODUCTION
In the present context of time, bank is very much important for every part of society
i.e. for trading concern, for government and for individual in general. It has played
vital role for the development of nation as well as for the development in the quality
of life. Further, bank encourages the general public to save their earnings by
providing some percent of interest. The country can make speedy development only if
there is availability of sufficient banking facilities.
Main objective of the bank is to mobilize idle resources into productive sectors by
collecting the funds from scattered sources Bank accumulates the idle money from the
scattered sources and lends it to the various productive sectors in an economy that
certainly yields positive results in an economy, employment opportunities, economic
activities and finally developing the whole economy.
Banks collect the saving of people in the form of deposits collection and investment in
the productive area. They give the loan to the people; banks mobilize deposit
collected from people. People who have a lot of money also consume precious goods;
people have no idea the investment in productive line. The interest rate of the deposit
varies to the different banks as the central bank has freed up the commercial banks to
determine the interest rate of their own.
1
The performance of any bank basically depends upon its sound lending policy,
procedure and investing its funds in different securities and sectors of market. A
sound fund mobilizing policy is not only prerequisite for bank profitability but also
crucially significant for the promotion of commercial saving of backward country like
Nepal. Fund mobilization policy is the policy which gives the detail guidelines about
how the company are collecting and utilizing its funds.
In modern age, economic condition is one of the most remarkable distinctions. In this
universe, there are a number of countries whose economic condition is very high with
per capita income of more than US $ 30,000.00 while there are such countries whose
economic condition is very poor with per capita income of less than $500 per annum.
Of course, these countries are trying to lift up their economic condition. These
countries are suffering from numerous problems. However, recently, significant
improvement has been seen in the global economic and financial scenario.
“Capital formation was the accumulation of capital. Profit made by the business
community constituted the major part of saving of the community and that savings
was assumed to be invested. They thought capital formation indeed plays a decisive
role in determining the level and growth of national income and economic
development”. It seems unquestionable that the insufficient capital accumulation is
2
the more serious limiting factors in developing countries. In the view of many
economists, capital occupies the central and strategic position in the process of
economic development.
In the view of many economists, capital occupied central and strategic position in the
process of economic economy lie in the rapid expansion of the rate of its capital
investment. So that it development in an under developed attains a rate of growth of
output which exceeds the rate of growth of population by the significant margin only
with such a rate of capital investment will the living standard begin to improve in a
developing country. In developing countries the rate of saving is quite low and exiting
institution are half successive in mobilizing such saving as most people have incomes
so low that vertically all current income be spent in marinating a substantial level of
consumption.
For the development of the nation it is required to have enough capital, without
adequate capital investment may not be possible, formation of the adequate capital
through the financial institution like finance company banks etc is important. It seems
unquestionable that the insufficient capital accumulation is the more serious limiting
factor in undeveloped countries.
Besides, the main task of bank is to mobilize idle resources into productive sector by
collecting it from scattered sources and generating profit. Banks also facilitates people
to carry out their financial transaction in every sector such as organization, industries,
agriculture trade and needy people as well. Bank accepts deposits in numerous forms
3
depending upon the nature of savers and banks own product offering strategy .Some
of the common deposits are saving, fixed and call deposits etc. the cost of deposits to
the banks varied as central bank has freed up the commercial bank to offer the interest
rate on their own.
However, it's said that the average cost of deposits for the bank is 4%.Development
of nation banking sector of that country is responsible and must be strong. The
financial sector like bank is a vast field, which helps in reducing poverty, increase in
life style of people, increase employment opportunities and there by developing the
society of a country as a whole development of a country depends upon adequate
saving and invested in productive sector which is inspired by banking activities. Due
to the low income there is fewer saving .people spend all the money in consumption
of necessary items. People who have a lot of money also consume precious goods;
people have no idea the investment in productive line. Banks are the main sources
which motivate people to save their earnings. Banks collect the saving of people in
the form of deposits collection and investment in the productive area. They give the
loan to the people; banks mobilize deposit collected from people.
The importance of the banking as the nerve centre of economic development cannot
be over emphasized and it is said that which are the need of and great wealth of
country has got to be kept very scared just as water of irrigation good banks are for
the country's and trade. The development of a country is always measured by its
economic development through indices. Therefore every country has given emphasis
on uplifting of a country can hardly be carried forward with out the assistances of
financial institution. They are the indispensable part of the development process It is
the fact that the unorganized financial system leads the country. Therefore, central
bank plays a major role and keeping the financial system of a country organized by
providing those guidelines and directions.
The recent trend in the banking industries has been observed that the portion of idle
cash they are holding is mounting. For instance: commercial banks are currently
holding about 326.364 billion rupees. In the mean time, the total loan outstanding and
investments of commercial banks is about 320.316 billion rupees only. This clearly
4
shows the level of deposit management by commercial banks and it requires
something to be done immediately.
Recognizing the true fact of developing country," Nepal cannot ignore the importance
of commercial banks. Realizing it, HMG of Nepal has been adopted the economy
liberalization policy. Due to liberalization policy made by government, the number of
bank has been increased and there has emerged the tough competition among them”.
Precisely, these problems could be numerically categorized into the following four
broad groups, and they are being explained as well. The recent trend observed in
banking industry is that they have not been able to fully utilize their deposit fund by
mobilizing it into productive sectors. Due to the deteriorating economic scenario,
5
management of the banks, and the attitude of the board of directors, they have been
able to lend about 70 percent of total deposits only. Referring to the Banks'
composition of deposit liabilities, it can be said that they are holding too much of cost
bearing deposits.
Banks are merely the financial intermediaries that accept the deposits from the savers
and invest or lend the funds to the funds seekers in the economy. Therefore, issues
related to the banks' investments, and lending certainly affect the Protection of funds
deposited by the savers. Definitely, there are some rules and regulations prescribed by
the central bank such as the recent one which compels the banks to issue their capital
equal to a billion rupees. However, banks' loan investments, capital structures,
existing management slacks etc. do not represent that the public funds deposited at the
banks are safe.
Commercial banks deserve the power to create money and credit because the public
readily accept claims on bank deposits, particularly checks, credit and debit cards, and
computer entries, in payment for goods and services. In addition, the law requires
individual banks to hold only a fraction of the amount of deposits received from the
public as cash reserves, thus freeing up a majority of incoming funds for making loans
and other investments.
This capacity of banks to create money and deposits has a number of important
influences on the financial system and the economy as a whole. Banks can invest up
to their money or deposit multiplier and money created by banks is also instantly
available for spending. Therefore, unless carefully controlled by the central bank, it
can fuel inflation.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
To develop the concept and ideas about the selected topic, the review of relevant
material is very important and crucial. In fact, review of literature begins with a
search for a suitable topic and continuous throughout the duration of the research.
Review of literature means reviewing research studies or other relevant statements in
the related areas of the study so that all the past studies, their conclusion and
deficiencies may be known and further search can be conducted.
So, in this chapter, the emphasis is given in the review of major relevant literature on
the deposit liabilities and their analyses. Different definitions or opinions expressed
by experts in respect of deposit mobilization are considered to be relevant for the
proposed study.
Similarly, this chapter also provides light on some of the rules and regulations
prescribed by the central bank regarding the commercial banks' deposit liabilities and
their mobilization aspects.
This chapter is basically concerned with review of literature relevant to the topic
“Deposit Mobilization of SCBNL and NBL”. Every study is very much based on past
knowledge. The previous studies can not be ignored because they provide the
foundation to the present study. In other words, there has to be continuity in research.
This continuity in research is ensured by linking the present study with the past
studies.

2.1 Conceptual Review
An attempt has been made to look into a number of related books and the bank
publications, especially of those related to the deposits collection and mobilization
aspects, and central bank's rules and regulations that stand for the commercial banks
on this regard. In addition, some sort of personal intuition has also been made.
"Commercial bank" a bank dealing with the general public, accepting deposit from
and making loans to large numbers of household and small firms. Such banks are
known in the UK as retail or high street banks. They also provide various services for
depositors, including provision of cash and credit cards, storage facilities for
valuables and documents, foreign exchange, mortgage finance and executor services.
Commercial banks are contrasted with central banks, and with investment, merchant
and other specialist banks which deal little with the general public ".
“The American institute of banking has laid down for functions of the commercial
banks i.e. Receiving and handling deposits, handling payment for its clients, granting
loans and investment and creating money by extension of credit”. Principally,
commercial bank accepts deposits and provides loans, primarily to business firms
thereby facilitating the transfer of funds on the economy. In the Nepalese context,
commercial bank act, 1974 defines “a commercial bank as one which exchanges
money, deposits money, accepts deposits, grants loans, and performs commercial
banking functions".
The term commercial bank is also misleading because the fact that commercial bank
performs not only one but many type of functions. Today the commercial banks not
only issue the transfer deposits through cheque but they also operate underwriters to
new equity issue, deal facilities, handle tax matters on behalf of their clients etc" .
11
Commercial Banks are those banks who pool together the savings of the community
and arrange for their productive use. They supply the financial needs of moderns
business by various means. They accept deposits from the public on the condition that
they are repayable on demand of on short notice. Commercial Banks are restricted to
invest their funds in corporate securities. Their business is confined to financing the
short terms needs of trade and industry such as working capital financing. They can
not finance in fixed assets. They grant loans in the forms of cash credits and
overdrafts. Apart from financing they also render services like collection of bills and
checks, safe keeping of valuables financing advising etc. to their customers.

14
I. Banks Have Not Been Able to Utilize Their Deposits Efficiently:
The recent trend observed in banking industry is that they have not been able to fully
utilize their deposit fund by mobilizing it into productive sectors. Due to the
deteriorating economic scenario, management of the banks, and the attitude of the
board of directors, they have been able to lend only about 60 percent of total deposits.
15
I. Demand Deposits
The deposit in which an amount is immediately paid at the time of any a/c holder’s
demand is called demand deposits. In another words, we can say this type of demand
deposit as current a/c. Current a/c means an a/c of amounts deposited in a bank, which
may be drawn at any time on demand. Its transaction is continual & such deposit can’t
be invested in the productive sector, so such type of amount remains as stock in the
bank. Though the bank can’t gain profit by investing it in new sector after taking from
the customers, this facility is given to the customer. Therefore, the bank doesn’t give
interest on this account. From such deposit, the merchant & traders are benefited more
than the individual. The bank should pay as many times as the cheque is sent until
there is deposit in his a/c. The bank can’t impose any condition & restrictions in
demand deposit. An institution or an individual, who usually needs money daily,
precedes their acts & transaction through such deposit. The current a/c is very
important for the customers of bank.
16
III. Fixed Deposits
Under the commercial Bank Act 2031: fixed account means an account of amounts
deposited in a bank for certain period of time. The customers opening such account
deposit their money in this account, for a fixed period. In the other words, it is called
time deposit because this account is deposited for a certain period.
Usually, only the person or institution who wants to gain more interest opens such
type of account. The period of time can be 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 1 year, 2
years, 3 tears, 4 years, 5 years etc. More interest rate is payable in this deposit than
other deposit. Both parties the bank & the customers can take benefit from this
deposit. The banks invest this money on the productive sector & gains profit & the
customers too can be made his financial transaction stronger by getting more interest
from this deposit. The amount in the saving deposit must be returned to the customers
after date is expires. The amount can’t be withdrawn before the fixed time.
When we discuss about Deposit Mobilization, “we are concerned with increasing the
income of the low income group of people & to make them able to save more so that
they can invest again the collected amount in the development activities. The main
objective of Deposit Mobilization is to convert idle saving into active saving”.
Saving refers to that part of the total income which is more than the expenditure of the
individual. In other words, saving equals total income minus total expenditure.
Basically saving can be divided into two parts: Voluntary saving & Compulsory
Savings. Amount deposited in different accounts of Commercial Bank, investment in
government securities are some examples of voluntary saving. A commercial bank
collects deposit through different accounts like fixed, saving & current.
17
In developing countries there is always shortage of the capital for development
activities. There is need of development in all sectors. It is not possible to handle &
develop all the sectors by the government alone at a time, also private people can not
undertake large business because the per capita income of the people is very low
while their tendency consumes is very high. Due to the low income their saving is
very low and capital formation is also very low. So their saving is not sufficient to
carry out development work.
To achieve higher rate of growth and per capita income, economic development
should be accelerated. “Economic development may be defined in a very broad sense,
as a process of raising income per head through the accumulation of capital. There are
two ways of capital accumulation, one from the external and other from the internal
sources. In the first one foreign Aid, Loans and grants are the main. While in the later,
financial institution operating with in the country, play in a dominant role. In the
context of Nepal, commercial bank is the main financial institution which can play
very important role in the resource mobilization for the economic development in the
country. Trade, industry, agriculture and commerce should be developed for the
economic development.
18
spending unit to deficit units. In this connection, financial intermediaries play an
important role in mobilizing voluntary saving.
The amount of saving of a typical household in Nepal is small because the people
have limited opportunities for investment. They prefer to spend saving on
commodities rather than on financial assets. These restricts the process of financial
intermediation, which might otherwise bring such as reduction of investment risk and
increase in liquidity when capital is highly mobile internally, saving from abroad can
also finance the investment needed at home. When capital is not mobile internally,
saving from abroad will limit the investment at home.
Insurance of bank deposits, creation of proper atmosphere can increase deposits and
the development of severity of capital markets with the helps of banks will prove
effective in mobilizing the available floating resources in the country. Capital
formation is possible through collecting scattered unproductive and small saving from
the people. This collected fund can be utilized in productive sector to increase
employment and national productivity. Deposit mobilization is the most dependable
and important sources of capital formation. Banking transaction refers to the
acceptance of deposits from the people for granting loan and advances, and returning
the accepted deposit at demand or after the expiry of a certain period. According to
banking rules and regulations, this definition clearly states that Deposit mobilization
is the starting point of banking transactions.
19
2.1.5 Need for Deposits Mobilization
The following are some reasons for why Deposit Mobilization is needed in a
developing country like Nepal. Workshop report “Deposit Mobilization why & how”
Group “A” states the following points as the need for deposit mobilization. Capital is
needed for the development of any sector of the country. The objective of Deposit
Mobilization is to collect the scattered capital in different forms within the country. It
is much more important to channelize the collected deposit in the priority sector of a
country. For the development of country we have to promote our business & other
sectors by investing the accumulated capital towards productive sectors.
Commercial banks are playing a vital role for National Development. Deposit
mobilization is necessary to increase their activities. Commercial banks are granting
loan not only in productive sectors, but also in other sectors like food grains, gold &
silver etc. though these loans are traditional in nature & are not helpful to increase
productivity, but it helps some extent to mobilize bank deposit.
Deposit mobilization plays a great role in such countries. Low National Income, Low
per Capita Income, lack of technical knowledge, unsound cycle of poverty, lack of
irrigation & fertilizer, pressure of increased population, geographical condition etc.
are the main problem of Economic Development of an UDC like Nepal.
20
So far the developments of these sectors are concerned; there are needs of more
capital. Again, instead of the development of a particular sector, the development of
every sector should go side by side. So, the development process of these sectors on
one side & to accumulate the scattered & unproductive sectors deposit on the other is
the felt need of an UDC. We can take this in our country’s present context.
Pradhan (2053), in his article “Deposit Mobilization, its Problem and Prospects” has
presented that deposit is the life-blood of every financial institutions, like commercial
bank, finance company, and co-operative or non-government organization. He further
adds in consideration of most of banks and finance companies, the latest figure dopes
produce a strong feeling that serious review must be made of problems and prospects
of deposit sector. Leaving few joint venture banks, other organizations rely heavily,
on the business deposit and credit disbursement.
21
The writer has also recommended for the prosperity of deposit mobilization which are
as follows;
By providing sufficient institutional services in the rural areas.
By cultivating the habit of using rural banking unit.
By adding services hour system to bank.
NRB could also organize training programs to develop skilled man power.
By spreading co- operative to the rural areas for development of mini-branch
services to these backward areas.
Bhatta (2054), on his article “Financial policies to prevent financial crisis” has
given more emphasis on Nepalese financial market sector. He has mentioned that the
financial crisis occurred in China, Mexico, South Asia, Russian Federation Ecuador,
Brazil & Argentina. This crisis affected all their economic by posing negative effect
in their real output. He has also focused on Nepalese financial market, which is
directly effected by the national and international events.
The most effected event was September 11 incident in the U.S.A., have added more to
the fragility in the global financial market. In present context in many part of the
world, the move towards liberalization is getting its momentum on one hand and
process of economic development is being threatened due to various anticipated
incidents on the other.
He has given light on the dynamics of financial crisis dividing it into three stages.
Also he has suggested the policies to prevent financial crisis. Following policies are
supposed to be applicable for preventing financial crisis.
Prudential supervision.
Accounting standards & disclosure requirements.
Legal and judicial system.
22
Monetary policy and price stability.
Exchange rate regimes and foreign exchange reserves.
Capital controls.
Restrictions on foreign denominated debt.
Reduction of the role of the state owned financial institution.
Encouraging market based discipline.
Entry of foreign banks.
Limitation of too-big –to fail in the corporate sector.
Sequencing financial liberalization etc.
Lastly he has conducted that there is no doubt that the key to preventing future
financial crisis is to implement sound domestic economic policies and build healthy
financial institutions. The experiences of the crisis hit countries, especially during the
decade of nineties, has proved that a country opening to liberalized economic policy
should adopt sequencing policies constraining the pace of participation on the global
market place until a sound domestic infrastructure can be put into place.
To overcome this problem she has suggested “commercial bank should take their
investment function with proper business attitude and should perform landing and
investment operation efficiently with proper analysis of the project.
Mr. Shrestha, Deputy Chief officer of NRB Banking operation department, has given
a short sight on the “Portfolio Management in Commercial Banks, Theory and
Practice” Shrestha has highlighted issue in the article. The portfolio management
becomes very important for both the individual and the institutional investors. Invest
would like to select a best mix of invests assets subject to the following aspects.
Higher return which is comparable with alternative opportunities available
according to the risk class of investors.
23
Good liquidity with adequate safety of investment.
Certain capital gain.
Maximum tax concession.
Flexible investment.
Economic efficient and effective investment mix.
However, Mr. Shrestha has also presented following approach to be adopted for
designing a good portfolio and its investment.
To find out the invisible assets (generally securities) having scope for the
better returns depending upon individual characteristics like age, health, need,
disposition, liquidity, tax liability etc.
To find out the risk of securities depending upon the attitude of investor
towards risk.
To develop alternative investment strategies for selecting a better Portfolio,
this will insure a trade-off between risk and return. So, as to attach the primary
objectives of wealth maximization at lower risk.
To identify the securities for investment to refuse volatility of return and risk.
Shrestha has presented two types of investment analysis technique; i.e. fundamental
analysis and technical analysis to consider any securities such as equity, debenture or
bond and other money and capital market instrument. He has suggested that the bank
having international network can also offer access to global financial markets. He has
pointed out the requirements of skilled manpower, research and analysis team and
proper management information system (MIS) in any commercial banks to get
success in portfolio management and customer confidence. According to Shrestha, the
portfolio management activities of Nepalese commercial banks at present are in
24
immature stage however, on the other hand, most of the banks are not doing such
activities so for because of following reasons.
Unawareness of the clients about the services available.
Hesitation of taking risk by the clients to use such facilities.
Lack of proper techniques to run such activities in the best and successful
manner.
Less developed capital market and availability of new financial instruments in
the financial markets.
Regarding the joint venture commercial banks, they are very eager to provide such
services but because of above mentioned problems very limited opportunities are
available to the banks for exercising the portfolio management.
Shrestha has came up with following conclusion,
The survival of the banks depends upon its own financial health and various
activities.
In order to develop and expand the portfolio management activities
successfully, the investment management mythology of a portfolio manager
should reflects high standard and give their clients the benefits of global
strength, local insights and cautious philosophy.
With the disciplined and systematic approval to the selection of appropriate
countries, financial assets and the management of various risks; the portfolio
manager should enhance the opportunities for each investor to earn superior
return over time.
The Nepalese banks having greater network and access to national and
international capital markets have to go for portfolio management activities for
the increment of their fee based income as well as to enrich the clients based
and to contribute in national economy.
25
Karmacharya (1998), in his thesis paper, “A study on the deposit mobilization by the
Nepal bank ltd.” during eight years study period has concluded that the utilization
side of Nepal Bank Ltd. has been weak as compare to the collection of resources. He
has mentioned that the bank has successfully mentioned its liquid assets position but
couldn't mobilize its resources efficiently. He has suggested to set-up more banking
branches to increase the deposit collection and long-term as well as short-term credit.
He has recommended not to consider security factor only but to provide loan to
genuine project without security.
Pradhan (2000) in his study “A study on investment policy of NBL” has tried to find
out to some extent that NBL has been able to utilize mobilized deposits. This is
concerned only from 2029 to 2034 B.S. and mainly based on secondary data various
statistical tools; Coefficient of correlation for testing the relationship between the
deposit and loan and advances, ratio analysis to compare different factors like loan
and advances and deposit, bank's liquidity position, profitability condition etc.
The writer found that there is a greater relationship between deposits and loan and
advances. Increase in deposits leads to increase in the loan and advances but when
huge increase in the deposits leads to little bit increase in loan and advances.
Khadka (2007), in his thesis paper, “A study on the investment policy of Nepal Arab
Bank ltd.” In comparison other joint venture banks in Nepal, he has compared
investment policy of NAB ltd. with Nepal Grind lays Bank Limited (NGB) and Nepal
Indosuez Bank Ltd. his study is based on five years period from 1992 to 1996. He has
taken only two banks to compare the investment policy among thirteen commercial
banks in Nepal. Mr. Khadka has suggested the joint venture banks to be careful in
increasing profit in real sense to maintain the confidence of shareholders, depositors
and customers. He has strongly recommended NABIL to utilizing risk assets and
shareholders funds to gain highest profit margin, reduce its expenses, and cheaper
fund for more profitability. He has recommended investing its fund in different sector
of investment and administering various deposit schemes, house building deposit
scheme etc.
26
The forgoing review of literature suggests that the deposits mobilization plays vital
role in economic development of country. Deposit mobilization can be best examined
using the factors, such as interest rate, loan and advances, investment, branch
expansion etc.
On the basis of various analyses, the researcher recommended the bank to gain major
share of public deposit. More focus is required on non- risky lending such as
mortgages, housing loans and personal loans. The analysis also recommended
focusing more on INGO and new project accounts to generate non-interest bearing
deposits. The bank has been maintaining excess liquid funds which should be reduced
and invested in earning assets.
27
This sort of study which aims to analyze the deposit mobilization aspect of the private
sector and government sector commercial banks is a new and challenging in itself but
is also an opportunity to learn and identify the deposit mobilization mechanism of
both public owned and government owned commercial banks. More specific studies
as to the deposit mobilization have been done in the past too but this study is quite
different from the other studies as this study is done with samples as a government
owned bank (Nepal Bank Ltd.) and another one as a public owned commercial bank
(Standard Chartered Bank) which is also a joint venture commercial bank. So this
research is new in the recent scenario also.

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1 Introduction
Research methodology describes the method and process applied in the study. This
chapter describes the methodology employed in the study. Research methodology
refers to various sequential steps which are adopted by a researcher in studying a
problem with certain objectives. In other words, research methodology describes the
method and process applied in the entire aspect of the study. It is the process of
arriving at a solution of the problem through planned and systematic dealing with the
collection, analysis, and interpretation of facts and figures.
Research is a systematic method of finding right solutions for the problem where as
research methodology refers to the various sequential steps to be adopted by a
researcher in studying a problem with certain objectives in view. In other words,
research methodology refers to the various methods of practices applied by the
researcher in the entire aspect of the study.
The basic objectives of this study is to evaluate the fund mobilizing policy of standard
chattered bank and has got in the whole commercial JVBS of Nepal & recommend
the useful & meaningful points, so that all concerned can achieve something from this
study. To accomplish this goal, the study follows the research methodology described
in this chapter.
29
Basically, the proposed study is mainly based on two types of research design namely
descriptive and analytical. Descriptive research design describes the general attitude
of the Nepalese depositors, business environment, problems regarding the deposits
mobilization aspects etc. Similarly, the analytical research design makes a through
analysis of gathered facts and information and critically evaluates it as well.
Some statistical & accounting tools have also been applied to examine facts, and
descriptive techniques have been adopted to evaluate funds mobilizing performance
of standard charted bank & Nepal Bank Limited & these are compared with the
deposit mobilization position of commercial banks in aggregate.
Supplementary data & information are collected from number of institution &
regulating authorities like NRB, security exchange board, Nepal stock exchange Ltd,
ministry of finance, budget speech of different fiscal years, economic survey &
national planning commission etc.
According to the need & objectives, all the secondary data are compiled, processed &
tabulated in time series. In order to judge the reliability of data provided by the banks
& other sources, they were compiled with the annual reports of auditors. Formal &
informal talks to the concerned head of the department of the bank were also helpful
to obtain the additional information of the related problem.
Similarly, various data & information are collected from the periodic economic
journals, managerial magazines & other published & unpublished reports &
documents from various sources. This research study would be based on the
secondary data that were available in the published form.
30
Specifically, the required data for the study has been collected from the concerned
organizations and a number of publishers. In other words, it has been gathered from a
number of books, journals, articles, reports, etc. Some of the major types and sources
of data are as follows:
Banking and financial statistics of Nepal Rastra Bank.
Annual report of Nepal bank ltd.
Annual Reports of Standard Charted Bank Nepal Ltd.
Central Bank's directives to Commercial Banks:
Statistics Nirdesika 2059.

Standard Deviation
The measurement of the scatter ness of the mass of figure in a series about an average
is known as dispersion. The standard deviation measures the absolute dispersion. The
greater the amount of dispersion, larger will be the standard deviation. A small
standard deviation means a high degree of uniformity of the observation as well as
home gently of a series; a large standard deviation means just the opposites. In this
study, standard deviation of different ratio is calculated as:

The result of coefficient of correlation is always between +1 & -1. When r = +1, it
means there is perfect relationship between two variables & vice versa. When r = 0, it
means there is no relationship between two variables.
The Pearson’s formula is:
x x y y
x x y y

Where, a = y – intercept, b = slope of the regression line (i.e. it measures the change
in Y per unit X) or regression coefficient of Y on X.
35
independent variables are used to estimate the unknown values of dependant
variables.

CHAPTER IV
This chapter is the major body of the research work. This chapter presents and
analyses the collected data for the achievement of the objective of this study and helps
the researcher to reach to the conclusion. This chapter is divided into major two parts
the first is financial analysis and the second is statistical analysis.
This section deals with the analysis of different components regarding deposit
mobilization. Following three categories of ratios are presented in this section:
Loan and advances
Investment
Return

NBL -2.57 -2.98 -0.64 -8.8 -30.22
SCBNL 8.57 9.59 10.67 22.06 3.54
Table and Diagram No. 4.1 are the presentations of the growth of loan and advance of
total commercial banking system and the sampled banks. The growth ratio of total
commercial banking and SCBNL are fluctuating but the ratios of NBL are seemed to
be in decreasing trend.
Growth rate of total commercial banking system for the year 2007, 2008, and 2009
are 12.41%, 16.96% and 9.12% respectively. The ratios of NBL for same years are
-0.64%, -8.8%, and -30.22% and that of SCBNL are 10.67%, 22.06% and 3.54%
respectively. After observing these factors, it is found that SCBNL is in better
position in comparison to NBL. And it is seemed that NBL should immediately take
some action to make the growth of loan and advance positive.
39
4.1.2 Analysis of Growth of Investment
Banks collect deposits from people and invest in various productive sectors. Banks
have to collect adequate deposit and invest it to the productive sector for regular
return. The investment of the bank increases only when the bank is able to increase
the collection of the deposit and mobilize the collected deposit well. If the investment
of the bank is increasing, the return will be high.
Table and the Diagram No. 4.2 are the presentations of the growth of total investment
of total commercial banking system and sampled banks for the study period of five
years from 2005 to 2009.
The growth rate of total commercial banking system and both sampled banks NBL
and SCBNL are fluctuating during the study period. Growth rate of total commercial
40
banking system for the years 2007, 2008 and 2009 are 9.38%, 21.23% and -4.22%
respectively Growth rate of NBL for same years are -9.63%, 30.63% and -14.9%
respectively and that of SCBNL are 18.23%, -9.36% and 19.99% respectively. After
analyzing the facts and figures, it is found that the growth rate of SCBNL is best for
2007 and 2009 and the ratio of NBL is best for 2008. But the ratio of NBL has fallen
by the large percentage on 2009.
41
Table and Diagram No. 4.3 show the growth ratio of the return of total commercial
banking system and sampled banks. The ratios are fluctuating during the study period.
The growth rate of return of total commercial banking system for the years 2007,
2008 and 2009 are -12.98%, 49.04% and 69.18% respectively. The growth rates of
NBL for the same years are -23.17%, -477.22% and 66.47% respectively and that of
SCBNL are18.47%, -3.38% and 23.11% respectively.
After analyzing these figures it is found that the growth rate of total commercial
banking system is significantly higher on the year 2009. The growth of NBL is
seemed highly fluctuating and that is higher than the ratio of SCBNL on 2009.
42
Correlation analysis among various statistical tools is preferred in this study to
identify the relationship between variables, and measure the significance of the
relationship.
For the purpose of decision making interpretations are based on the following terms;
i. When, r = 1, there is perfect positive correlation.
ii. When, r = -1, there is perfect negative correlation.
iii. When, r = 0, there is no correlation.
iv. When, ‘r’ lies between 0.7 and 0.99(-0.7 and -0.99), there is a high degree of
positive or (negative) correlation.
v. When, ‘r’ lies between 0.5 and 0.69 (-0.5 and -0.69) there is moderate degree of
correlation.
vi. When, ‘r’ is less than 0.5 (-0.5) there is low degree of correlation.

Table No. 4.4 shows the correlation coefficient between deposit (independent
variable) and total investment (dependent variable) of total commercial banking
system, NBL, and SCBNL are 0.82, -0.77 and 0.99 respectively. This figure show the
positive relationship between the variables of total commercial banking system and
SCBNL and negative relationship between these variables to the NBL.
Considering the probable error, the value of PEr of total commercial banking system
and SCBNL are smaller than the value of correlation coefficient (i.e.r) and the value
of PEr of NBL is greater than the value of correlation coefficient. Comparing the
value of 6PEr with the value of coefficient of correlation (r ) the value of 'r' of NBL is
smaller than the value of 6PEr (i.e. 0.59 < 0.84). It means the value of r is not
significant which means the relationship between the variables is insignificant.
Whereas about total commercial banking system and SCBNL the relationship
between the variables are significant.
44
4.2.1.2. Analysis of Correlation Coefficient between Deposit and Loan and
Advances
Correlation coefficient between deposit and loan and advance measures the degree of
relationship between total deposit and loan and advances. Generally this relation
should be positive and high. If the value of (r) i.e. correlation coefficient is high, it can
be generalized that the bank is mobilizing its fund well and vice versa. Deposit is
independent variable(x) and loan and advance is dependent variable (y). The main
objective of this analysis is to compare the value of (r) of the sampled banks with total
commercial banking system and between themselves too. This analysis further aims to
observe whether the sampled banks are mobilizing their deposit and loan & advances
in proper way or not.

r r2 PEr 6PEr
Table No. 4.5 shows the degree of correlation between deposit and loan and advance
of total commercial banking system, NBL and SCBNL for the study period of four
years from 2006 to 2009. The degree of correlation as the value of ‘r’ of total
commercial banking system, NBL and SCBNL are 0.97, 0.15 and 0.55 respectively. It
means the degree of correlation between the variables of total commercial banking
system is highly positive, the degree of correlation between these variables of NBL is
low but positive and the degree of the correlation of the variables of SCBNL is
moderately positive.
The value of ‘r2’ the coefficient of determination of total commercial banking system,
NBL and SCBNL are 0.94, 0.02 and 0.3 respectively. It means 94% of the variation in
45
loan and advance of total commercial banking system is explained by the deposit, 2%
of the variation in loan and advance of NBL is explained by the deposit and 30% of
the variation in loan and advance of SCBNL is explained by the deposit.
Considering the probable error, the value of PEr of total commercial banking system
and SCBNL are smaller than the value of correlation coefficient (i.e. r), but the value
of PEr of NBL is greater than the value of ‘r’. Comparing the value of 6PEr with the
value of correlation coefficient the value of ‘r’ of total commercial banking system
and SCBNL is greater than the value of 6Per, so the relationship between the loan and
advance and total deposit of these banks are significant, on the other hand the value of
‘r’ of NBL is smaller than the value of 6PEr so the relationship between the variables
are insignificant.

Table 4.6 presents the degree of correlation between total assets and profit of total
commercial banking system, NBL and SCBNL. Correlation coefficient ‘r’ for above
mentioned banks is 0.8, -0.75 and 0.98 respectively. It means the total assets and
profit of total commercial banking system and SCBNL are positively correlated, but
these variables of NBL are highly negatively correlated.
Analyzing the value of probable error of the correlation coefficient the value of ‘r’ of
total commercial banking system and SCBNL is greater than the value of PEr, so the
relationship between the variables are significant. Comparing the value of 6PEr with
the value of ‘r’, the value of 6PEr of total commercial banking system and SCBNL
are smaller than the value of ‘r’, this figure further specifies the relationship between
the variables. The figure relating to the NBL shows that the relationship between the
variables is insignificant.

The equation implies that the multiple regression constant ‘a’ is 2125.246
which suggest that when Profit and Loan and Advance are zero, deposit would
be 2125.246. The constant for profit -10.661 implies that when profit increases
by RS.1, deposit decreases by RS. 10.661, the constant for Loan and Advance
is -19.510, implies that when Loan and Advance increases by RS.1, deposit
will decreases by RS. 19.510 The analysis shows that the multiple correlation
coefficient 0.544 and coefficient of multiple determinations 0.2519 with
49
209.8897 standard error of estimate. The multiple correlation coefficients are
not significant at 95% level of significance.
The equation implies that the multiple regression constant ‘a’ is 460.76 which
suggest that when profit and loan and advance are zero, deposit would be
460.76. The constant for profit is 40.038 implies that when profit increases by
RS.1, deposit increases by RS. 40.038, the constant for loan and advance -
1.532, imply that when loan and advance increases by RS.1, deposit will
decreases by RS1.532. The analysis shows that the multiple correlation
coefficient 0.737 and coefficient of multiple determinations 0.543 with 373.55
standard error of estimate. The multiple correlation coefficients are not
significant at 95% level of significance.

4.2.2.1 Trend Analysis of Total Investment to Total Deposit Ratio
This analysis aims to analyze the trend of total investment to total deposit ratio of
total commercial banking system, NBL and SCBNL under five years of study period.
If the trend line show the increasing trend the bank is improving its deposit
mobilization capacity and vice versa. The following table and the graph line describe
the trend values of total investment to total deposit of above mentioned banks:

Table No. 4.9 and Diagram No. 4.4 are the presentations of the trend values of total
investment to total deposit ratio during the study period. The trend lines show that
total commercial banking system has decreasing trend in the ratio and NBL and
SCBNL have increasing trend in the ratio. Trend value of total commercial banking
system (20.96) is lowest in 2009 and SCBNL has highest trend value (i.e. 37.74) in
2009. Finally it can be determined that SCBNL is successful in managing total deposit
and NBL also has the good trend on it.

Trend Line of Loan and Advance to Total Deposit Ratio
Table No. 4.10 and Diagram No. 4.5 are the presentations of the trend values of loan
and advance to total deposit ratio of total commercial banking system, NBL and
SCBNL. The trend values of total commercial banking system and SCBNL are in
increasing trend and the trend values of NBL during the study period are in falling
trend. The trend value of total commercial banking system in 2009 is 62.44 which is
52
the highest in comparison to the trend values of sampled banks, and the trend value of
SCBNL in 2006 is 32.28 that is lowest among the values, Finally loan and advance of
total commercial banking system is better than both the sampled banks, and SCBNL
is better between the sampled banks with increasing trend.

Considering the statistical analysis as the easy path for meeting the objective, some
statistical tools have been used for the analysis. In statistical tools, correlation
61
coefficient, trend analysis and t-statistic have been used. This unit focuses on the
major findings, which are derived from the analysis of the data related to the total
commercial banking system, NBL and SCBNL. This study has been made on the
basis of the related data for four years from 2006 to 2009.The major finding of the
financial analysis and statistical analysis are presented below.
I. Growth ratio
Growth ratios show the performance level of the commercial banks. The smooth
growth of the performance show the perfect efficiency but this can not be found in
real practice in general life. In this study the growth of both sampled banks and total
commercial banking system are analyzed and compared with each other.
Loan and advance is the most important element for investing the funds of
commercial banks. Analyzing the growth ratios of loan and advance, the ratios of both
sampled banks and total commercial banking system are in falling trend. The statistics
of NBL is showing the negative growth in loan and advance. The reason for falling
growth in all commercial banks may be of the application of the policy of financial
restructuring. NBL facing the great problem of default of recovery of loan has been
concentrating its effort for recovery of loan than making further loan so this bank may
have the negative growth in loan and advance. Another reason for falling growth may
be the political instability and unfavorable environment for the trade and industry.
Though the ratios of both sampled banks are falling and both the sampled banks have
smaller average growth rate than the average growth rate of total commercial banking
system, SCBNL has the positive growth rate so this bank can be considered as the
efficient bank in this analysis.
62
Investment is another sector where the banks mobilize their funds. Increasing
investment is the signal of economic recovery of the nation and financial efficiency of
the commercial banks. Analyzing the growth of investment, the ratios of both sampled
banks and total commercial banking system are fluctuating during the study period.
The ratios of SCBNL are more positive than that of NBL and SCBNL has the highest
average growth of investment in the study period. So it can be generalized that the
private sector commercial banks are more successful in making investment in
comparison to the government owned commercial banks.
Profit making is one of the most important objectives of commercial banks. If the
bank is successful in making smooth growth in profit by passes of time the bank can
be considered as managerially successful bank and that can easily sustain in long
term. Analyzing the growth of return, both sampled banks have the fluctuating growth
during the study period. SCBNL has highest mean growth of return during the period.
Though NBL has negative average growth of return it has done well on the final year
of the study.
In the analysis of correlation coefficient between deposit and loan and advance, total
commercial banking system and SCBNL have the positive relationship and NBL has
the negative relationship. Considering the probable error the value of coefficient of
correlation (i.e. r) of NBL is smaller than the value of 6PEr (i.e. -0.15 < 1.98), so the
relationship between the variables is significant. The value of coefficient of
63
correlation (i.e. r) of SCBNL is smaller than the value of 6PEr (i.e.0.55 > 0.44). The
relationship between the variables of SCBNL is significant.
Analyzing the correlation coefficient between total assets and profit, total commercial
banking system and SCBNL have the positive relationship and NBL has negative
relationship between these variables. Considering the probable error, total commercial
banking system and SCBNL have the value of coefficient of correlation (i.e. r) greater
than the value six times probable error (6PEr) (i.e.0.8 > 0.72 and 0.98 > 0.9 ). It
means the relationship between the variables of total commercial banking system and
SCBNL are significant. While comparing the value of coefficient of correlation (i.e. r)
with the value six times probable error (6PEr) of NBL the value of coefficient of
correlation is smaller than the value of (6PEr) (i.e.-0.75 < 0.9).so the relationship
between the variables of NBL is not significant.
Observing the trend of loan and advance to total deposit ratio, total commercial
banking system and SCBNL have increasing trend and NBL has decreasing trend.
This ratio of NBL may have fallen due to its efforts on recovery of default of loan.
64
have yield the result of acceptance of alternative hypothesis. It means the ratios of
both sampled banks are significantly different from the ratio of total commercial
banking system. On another hypothesis test of the ratios of NBL and SCBNL, it has
yield the result of acceptance of null hypothesis. It means there is no significant
difference between the mean ratios of two banks.
In the analysis of test result of loan and advance to total deposit ratio of total
commercial banking system with NBL and SCBNL, both test have yield the result of
acceptance of alternative hypothesis(H1). It means there is significant difference
between the mean ratio of total commercial banking system and the mean ratio of
NBL and SCBNL. The test of hypothesis of loan and advance to total deposit ratio of
NBL with the ratio of SCBNL has yield the result of acceptance of null hypothesis
(H0). It means there is no significant difference between the mean ratios of NBL and
SCBNL.
Finally with the analysis of these six hypothesis tests it is found that the sampled
banks have no significant difference between them, but these both banks are
significantly different from other banks of total commercial banking system in the
view point of deposit mobilization.

CHAPTER V
5.1 SUMMARY
Mobilization as well as canalization of saving in the productive sector is important for
the economic development of the country without inflationary pressure in the
economy. No doubt commercial banks play a crucial role for the economic
development by formulation of capital, which is key variable in the economic
development of the country. Scattered recourses hold no meaning unless and until
they mobilized and utilized efficiently in some productive sectors. Commercial banks
contribute to the process of capital formation by converting isolated saving into
meaningful capital investment in order to aid industry, trade, commerce and
agriculture for the economic development of a nation. It should not be forgotten that a
country could hardly achieve its growth of economic development without a strong
capital base. Commercial banks play a vital role in performing such base for financial
and economic development by way of deposit mobilization. It is quite true that a
strong financial institution is of great need in the developing country like Nepal.
Because all the economic conditions are based on the financial institution and the
development of a country depend upon the active participation of the banks in the
different activities in the economy.
Deposits are the obligation of the commercial banks. So, commercial banks must
allocate the funds in different loans and advances and investments. In these study two
banks NBL representing the government bank and SCBNL representing the private
sector bank are compared with total commercial banking system and with each
another. In this study data of four years from 2006 to 2009 have been considered for
the targeted analysis.
Analyzing the liquidity position of the banks, both banks have satisfactory level of
liquidity but SCBNL has the larger portion of liquid assets in total assets. Return on
liquid fund of NBL is not more satisfactory and the portions of liquid fund to total
deposit of both banks are in satisfactory level in comparison to total commercial
66
banking system. Generalizing the findings of the study it can be observed that private
sector commercial banks are strong in liquidity management but government owned
banks also are not in dissatisfactory conditions.
In assets management ratios both sampled banks seemed stronger than total
commercial banking system in total deposit liabilities ratio , total investment to total
deposit ratio and investment on government bond to total deposit ratio. Both banks are
weak in loan and advance to total deposit ratio and loan and advance to total assets
ratio. Comparing these all ratios of two sampled banks it is found that SCBNL is
stronger than NBL in all the ratios excepting loan and advance to total assets ratio.
And NBL is seemed to be stronger than the SCBNL in the view point of collecting the
mid-term and long-term deposits.
In the analysis of profitability ratios both sampled banks are stronger than total
commercial banking system in return on loan and advance ratio and return on total
assets ratio. Both banks are weaker than the total commercial banking system in
interest expenses to total expenses ratio. Comparing these ratios of two sampled
commercial banks it is found that SCBNL is stronger than the NBL in all ratios
excepting interest expenses to total expenses ratio.
In the analysis of growth ratios of total commercial banking system, NBL and
SCBNL, these all have the positive growth in deposit and investment but NBL has the
negative growth in loan and advance and return. In the growth point of view SCBNL
is stronger than NBL and NBL is seemed weaker than SCBNL and even than total
commercial banking system in these ratios. In the analysis of correlation coefficient
between the selected variables, NBL has the negative results on each test. It means the
selected variables of NBL are not significantly correlated with each other during this
period. Such results may have appeared because of the restructuring programs
lunched for the betterment of the bank.
In trend analysis both sampled banks are seemed stronger than the total commercial
banking system in the trend of total investment to total deposit ratios and NBL
seemed to be weaker than total commercial banking system and SCBNL in the trend
analysis of loan and advance to total deposit ratio.
67
In the hypothesis test it is found that the sampled banks are significantly different
from total commercial banking system. But both sampled banks are not significantly
different. In other words the sampled banks have no significant difference between
the mean ratios of investment to total deposit and the mean ratio of loan and advance
to total deposit.
5.2 Conclusion
Banks are the very necessary elements for the economy of a country. The word banks
generally denote the commercial banks. The commercial bank helps in the formation
of capital that is the most important for the economic growth of the country.
Commercial banks in Nepal are doing well but they are not giving satisfactory result
due to some internal and external factors. The deposits and its investment in
productive sector by commercial banks are not stable and these are going thoroughly
by the time passes on. A deposit is indeed the major organ of commercial banks.
Higher the deposit higher will be the capacity of investment and higher will be the
chance of mobilization of fund and make the satisfactory profit for the long term
sustainability of an organization.
Banks should be careful while granting loan because loan is the blood of commercial
banks for survival. If commercial bank does not adopt the sound investment policy, it
will be in greater trouble in future in the collection of loan amount. Banks should
invest its funds in various portfolios after the profound study of the project. It keeps
the bank far from the problem of default of payment that certainly keeps the bank safe
from the bankruptcy. Diversification of investment is very much important for banks
because a bank uses the money of people for the benefit of the depositors and the
benefit of its own.
68
From the analysis made in last chapter it is found that total commercial banking
system, NBL and SCBNL are able to mobilize average 83.05%, 82.2% and 72.92% of
their deposits to the loan and advance and in investment. This figure show the
stronger position of NBL than SCBNL in deposit mobilization but comparing the
return ratios, i.e. interest income to total income ratio NBL has smaller return than
SCBNL (i.e. 70.84<78.82). It means both the banks are efficient in deposit
mobilization but NBL is weak in collecting interest and even the principal amount of
the loan. The analysis of growth of deposit, loan and advance and the investment also
reflects the weak position of NBL in deposit mobilization in comparison to SCBNL.
Analyzing the trend of investment of both sampled banks, there are increasing trend
and there is no significant difference between the trend values of the NBL and
SCBNL. But the trend values of loan and advance to total deposit ratio of NBL is
falling during the study period. This value of SCBNL is increasing during the same
period. It means SCBNL is managing its loan and advance well. But NBL is sifting
from loan and advance to secured investment.
Various analysis yield different results but summarizing the results it can be
generalized that there is no more difference between the deposit mobilizations of
government owned commercial banks and private sector commercial banks. But the
private sector commercial banks seemed to be more efficient than the government
owned commercial banks in deposit mobilization.
Every sector is facing the problem in Nepal due to the violence and the political
instability. The commercial banking system also could not escape out from this
situation. All the banks within this system have been facing the problem but this
problem of NBL became great, because this is the government owned commercial
bank which is serving even in remote areas by largest number of branches. Most of
the loans became the bad debt due to the unfavorable economic environment. But the
positions of this bank have been falling due to the managerial inefficiency and
political interference in the management in some extent.
69
5.3 Recommendations
The problems related to the deposit mobilization of NBL and SCBNL representing the
government owned commercial banks and private sector commercial banks
respectively have been discussed. In accordance with facts found in previous sections,
the following recommendations are made for the further improvement of the deposit
mobilization of the government owned commercial banks and private sector
commercial banks especially NBL and SCBNL.
SCBNL has high degree of liquidity than NBL but comparing the return on liquid
assets SCBNL has higher return, it means though NBL has mobilized the liquid
funds the liquidity management is not strong and there is some lapses on the
deposit mobilization policy. So NBL is better to revise the liquidity management
policy and implement the revised policy strongly.
The ever mounting amount of deposits is now got to be properly mobilized in the
different sectors of the economy. For the proper mobilization of deposit, banks
must be prepared to take more risk on their lending and investments to encourage
the borrowing by the units of the economy. In other words, it's time for them to
divert their traditional collateral taking process into more realistic and potential
aspects. They must provide loan for a project on the basis of its potentiality
instead of sound and safe collateral.
In order to develop the banking and saving habit of the people of remote areas in
the nation, commercial banks are suggested not to be surrounded and limited
within the urban areas and not to be gathered around the big clients (e.g.
multinational companies, large industries, manufacturer and exporters, NGO's and
INGO's, etc.). Reduction in the minimum required threshold balance and
extension of its services towards rural area and priority sector indicated by the
government is must for boosting up the living standard of lower level people.
Since commercial banks used to provide less loan and advances in comparison to
its total deposits, commercial banks are strongly recommended to follow the
liberal lending policy; more percentage of deposits can be invested to different
profitable sector as well as towards loan and advances. Because, analysis showed
70
investment and loan and advances as a significant factor, this affects the net profit
of the banks. Subsequently, a skillful administration is the must for these assets
because negligence may become a reason for liquidity crisis and more liberal
lending may lead to the default of repayment of loan.
All commercial banks should make an attractive publicity of the bank and then
people will have knowledge about the bank and it encourages them to save the
money. When there is more publicity, people may have great desire to save money
in order to earn interest and use the bank to lend money instead of money lenders.
The banks should also pay attention to publish bulletin, brochures and others so as
to make people familiarizes with its performance and activities.
Finally, for the speedy development of the nation, the government owned banks as
well as the private sector banks are suggested to follow decentralization policy in
order to extend the modern and computerized banking facilities towards the marginal
areas and for assuring the reach of remote area people in modern banking facilities.
