ABSTRACT
In this context, taking a view as rapid development of the country this project work has been
prepared in the format as required by the faculty of management entitled with Comparative
liquidity and deposit analysis of Nepal Investment Bank Limited and Prabhu Bank Limited.
This report has been prepared in three main chapters i.e. introduction, result and analysis and
discussion, conclusion& implication. Liquidity analysis is the one of the major tool to
analyze liquidity position of the bank. Liquidity is crucial in the business like banking sector.
Banks have to maintain liquidity, if the bank has high liquidity it cannot gain desired profit
and if bank has the shortfall of the liquidity it cannot satisfy its customers and inadequate
liquidity may lead to collapse of the bank.
This study attempts to know the liquidity and deposit position of NIBL and PBL; which
banks performance is best and which bank’s liquidity position is better. This study is related
with comparative liquidity analysis of NIBL and PBL for the period of 2075/76 to 2077/78
B.S. Necessary data are taken from the annual reports of these two banks: NIBL and PBL.
This study is based on secondary data. For the study, liquidity analysis of NIBL and PBL has
been done. In this study liquidity ratio is calculated to find out the liquidity position of these
two banks. This study is useful to investors, creditors, banks, customers and other parties
who are related to these two banks.

CHAPTER-I
INTRODUCTION
When where and how the modern banking actually came in existence can not be pointed out.
But from the different historical facts it reveals that some banking activities have been carried
out since the time immemorial. At that time merchants, money lenders, goldsmiths, etc
performed the banking transactions. Later the transactions started increasing and they become
the activities of money exchange securing the valuable goods. Deposit money, lending money
and so on. Banking has a long history. The origin of bank is not a new phenomenon. The
terms in Banking such as pledges, deposits, rate of interest loans etc can be found in the
ancient Hindi Epic Manu Smriti. Even in 300 B.C It was in exercise in India , china , Arabia ,
Greece, Persia and Egypt even though the procedures of banking were not organized on the
span of time it has been expanding . For all these types of activities written receipts began to
be used and the modern banking started. In the historic age sources say that goldsmiths and
money lenders contributed to large extent in the growth of banking system. They used to
store peoples gold charging nominal charges issued receipts to the depositors, which was
good for payments. Later, they started advancing money changing interest on it. So the
goldsmith and money lenders started performing the functions of modern banking i.e.
accepting deposits and advancing loans. However, the modern banking originated in Italy.
The word "bank" was derived from the Italian word "Banco" which means accumulation of
money or stock Bank as a formal institution was originated from Italy. The bank of Venice
2
which was established in 1157 A.D. was the first bank in the history of banking and it was
established to finance the monarch in the war. The Bank of Barcelona, Spain which was
established in 1404 A.D. was the second bank in the world and then The Bank of Genoa was
set up in 1407 A.D.
Liquidity analysis determines the ability of an organization to pay its bills in a timely
manner. They are used to ascertain the short term solvency of a firm. Liquidity analysis
mainly helps in analyzing the liquidity position in an organization.
Better liquidity position shows the better financial position of the bank and better financial
position shows the goodwill of the bank. Liquidity analysis helps to analyze whether the
bankers sufficient to meet its short term obligation in timely manner or not liquidity of a bank
can be tested by using the two primary ratios. They are current ratio and net working capital
ratio. Current ratio is the quantitative relationship between current assets and current
liabilities. Net working capital ratio shows the amount of short term liquidity available to a
bank.
Harsh, (2014) stated that the banking sector was always deemed to be one of the most vital
sectors for the economy to be able to function. Its importance as the “lifeblood” of economic
activity, in collecting deposits and providing credits to states and people, households and
businesses is undisputable. The researcher chooses this topic because numerous researchers
have conducted the research in related field and also for the partial fulfillment of
requirement for degree of BBS.
Nepal Indosuez Bank Ltd., and accordingly the name of the Bank also changed to Nepal
Investment Bank Ltd.
At present, the Bank's shareholding pattern is as follows: Promoters - 69% and General
Public - 31%. With the team of experienced bankers and professionals with proven track
record, NIBL believe in offering the best of what their customers look for.

helpful products and services that will assure their future prosperity. Over a very short period
of time, the bank has achieved a significant degree of success in executing this objective there
by creating a substantial base of loyal customers.
Personalized service, prompt transactions, wide networks, mobile Banking and real-time
account credit are few of the core strength of the bank. It has been undertaking activities such
as variety of deposit schemes, loans and advances, Foreign exchange facilities, Trade
financing, Inward/outward remittances, market maker for government securities, Non-Fund
based service like issuing guarantees, letter of credits etc.
While ensuring adequate finance is a vital part in the setting up and running of any business,
it alone does not guarantee success. Success depends on the other factors such as quality
consultation and counseling. So the bank has given due priority in developing human
resources capable enough to understand the need of customer and meet their requirements.

Mission
To become the leading commercial bank in Nepal by providing the finest quality financial
products and services to our customer; enhance our shareholders’ value, contribute to the
economic prosperity of the country and to create continuous learning and growth
opportunities for our people.
Previous researchers have used the various models to test the hypothesis like CAMEL model,
ANOVA Test and so on. Researchers conducted research by taking sample of EBL, HBL,
NSBI among the population of commercial banks in past. Previous studies reveals that banks
have somehow maintain the moderate liquidity.
Researcher has conducted the research by taking sample of NIBL and PBL among population
of Nepalese commercial banks. This study uses the data of 3 years and it uses the balance
sheet, profit and loss account, profit and loss appropriate account, cash flow of NIBL and
PBL to calculate the ratio for the purpose of analysis of liquidity position of these two banks.
This study uses the simply table, trend line to analyze the liquidity position of these two
banks through the different ratios because of time and cost constraints. Liquidity plays the
significant role in banking sector. Banks have to maintain adequate liquidity. Inadequate
liquidity may lead to collapse of the bank. The research gap is arising from the time variation;
previous study did not cover the comparative analysis of liquidity position of these two
banks: NIBL and PBL. Thus, this research is conduct to fulfill the research gaps. So, this
study addressed the investigation the following issues;
• To the management: The finding of this study will facilitate the management
team to amend the rules and policies of the bank.
• To the shareholders: The study will be helpful to acquire required information
related to liquidity position of the two banks.
• To the outsiders: The study will also be helpful to the outsiders such as investors,
creditors, customers and other stakeholders of the two banks.
desired profit and if bank has the shortfall of the liquidity it cannot satisfy its customers.
Inadequate liquidity may lead to collapse of the bank while excess liquidity is determinant to
banks’ profitability. In order to remove demerits associated with maintaining inadequate and
excess liquidity, bank should maintained and optimum level of liquidity. Banks have to
maintain adequate liquidity to smooth running of firm.
Theoretical framework is the structure that can hold or support a theory of a research study.
The theoretical framework is one of the more infamous components of a dissertation. A good
theoretical framework gives a strong research base and provides support for the rest of the
research. Theoretical framework of this study is as follows:
CR
LDR
FDTDR
CRR
This study is conducted to analyze comparative liquidity position of NIBL and PBL.
Theoretical framework helps to conduct good report writing. So that researcher prepared
theoretical framework which includes different ratios which helps to analyze liquidity
position of these two banks.
Liquidity Ratio reflects the short-term obligation of the firm. This ratio shows that if firm
need cash amount in short period without any notice, can firm fulfill its need or how it
manage the need. Commercial banks need liquidity to meet loan demand and deposit
withdrawals. Liquidity is also needed for the purpose of meeting Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR)
and Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) requirements prescribed by the central Bank. The
following ratios are calculated under the liquidity ratios.

• Current ratio
• Loan to deposit ratio
• Cash and bank balance to total deposit ratio
• Cash and bank balance to current & saving deposit ratio
• Fixed deposit to total deposit ratio
• NRB balance to total deposit/Cash Reserve Ratio(CRR)
Pradhan (2003) had done a research entitled “A comparative liquidity and deposit analysis
study on “Nepal Investment Bank Limited and Prabhu Bank Limited” states that the liquidity
position of both the bank was satisfactory however Prabhu Bank had a better liquidity
position than Nepal Investment Bank Limited.
Khan (2001) had done a research entitled “An evaluation of liquidity and deposit position of
Prabhu Bank” pointed out the financial strength and weakness of Prabhu Bank based on
liquidity ratio.
Kumbirai & Webb (2010) investigated the performance of South Africa’s commercial
banking sector for the period 2005- 2009. Financial ratios are employed to measure the
profitability, liquidity, and deposit condition and credit quality performance of five large
South African based commercial banks. The study found that overall bank performance
increased considerably in the first two years of the analysis. A significant change in trend is
noticed at the onset of the global financial crisis in 2007, reaching its peak during 2008-
2009. This resulted in falling profitability, low liquidity, low deposit condition and
deteriorating credit quality in the South African Banking sector.

Shakya (2010) analyzed different ratio of NSBI and EBL for the period five years till fiscal
year 2008. In his study, the liquidity position of EBL is slightly stronger than the NSBI
where NSBI‘s ratio is higher. It concludes that liquidity position of these banks is sound.
NSBI has better utilization of available resource in income generating process than EBL. In
the overall, this study concluded that EBL is better than the NSBI and both banks are highly
leveraged.
position and performance of the firm. Therefore, it helps to establish relationship among
various ratios and interpret thereon specially, based on comparison between two or more
firms or inter firm comparison and comparison between present and past ratios for the same
firm give enormous and fruitful results to examine the liquidity position of the banks.

2.2.6 Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) /NRB Balance to Total Deposit Ratio
The reserve requirement (or CRR) is a bank, regulation that sets the minimum reserve so that
each bank must hold to customer deposits and notes. These reserve are designed to satisfy
withdrawal demand, and would normally be in the form of fiat currency stored in a bank
vault (cash vault), or with potential of the banking to create deposits. CRR is the percentage
of banks reserves to deposits and notes. Every commercial banks need to deposit 10% fund in
NRB as the form of CRR.
Symbolically,

CHAPTER–III
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
This chapter presents a discussion of findings presented in the previous chapter and dedicated
to provide conclusions after comparatively analysis the liquidity and deposit position of two
banks named NIBL and PBL. It also tries to provide some implications to the concerned
banks from the conclusion derived from the study.
3.1 Summary
This research is conducted comparative liquidity and deposit analysis of NIBL and PBL.
Liquidity analysis is one of the major tools to analyse financial performance of the banks.
This study is taking NIBL and PBL as sample among 27 commercial bank over 3 years
period i.e. 2075/76 to 2077/78. The liquidity ratio measures the ability of a firm to meet its
short-term obligations and the short-term financial solvency of a firm.
On the basis of analysis and presentation of data, the researcher extracted some major
findings. The liquidity position of the banks in terms of current ratios shows that the ratios
of both banks NIBL and PBL are below the normal standard (i.e. 2:1) whereas NIBL
average ratio is lower than PBL. It shows that the liquidity position in term of current assets
to current liabilities of PBL is better than NIBL. So, it is concluded that PBL has better
liquidity position as compared to NIBL
Loan and advances to total deposit ratio of NIBL and PBL are 0.8482 and 0.7398
respectively. From the above analysis, it is concluded that NIBL has been successful in
utilizing their deposits in term of loan and advances for profit generating purpose compared
to NIBL. Cash and bank balance to total deposit ratio of NIBL and PBL are 0.1225 and
0.1702 respectively which shows the PBL has higher liquidity than NIBL.
Cash & bank balance to current & saving deposit ratio of NIBL and PBL are 0.2324 &
0.3353 respectively which shows PBL has better liquidity than NIBL.
24
Fixed to total deposit ratio of NIBL and PPL are 0.4359 and 0.3733 respectively which
indicates that NIBL has more fixed deposit than PBL. Cash reserve ratio of NIBL and PBL
are 0.0654 and 0.0975 respectively which shows PBL has higher balance in NRB account.
This analysis shows that both banks have to increase their liquidity position but in
comparison PBL has higher liquidity than NIBL. In the same way, fixed deposit to total
deposit ratio of NIBL is better than that of PBL.
So, on the basis of major findings the researcher reached to the conclusion keeping
previously set objectives in mind. Ultimately, the researcher will recommend on the research
problem to its stakeholders. To know the actual liquidity position of the banks, the researcher
observed and analysed the comparative liquidity analysis of two commercial banks. It is
hoped that the comparative liquidity analysis of the commercial banks will give a rational
result and represent the overall banking scenario in terms of liquidity analysis.
3.2 Conclusion
Establishment of commercial banks have continued in response to the economic
liberalization policies of the government. Nowadays, under the new monetary policy banks
have to increase their paid-up capital so that many banks are going for merger and
acquisition. So, now in Nepal there are 27 commercial banks competing with each other in
their business. These commercial banks are mainly concentrated t on deposit collection and
mobilization, provide banking services for customer satisfaction, financing in different
project and areas.
The researcher has analysed the data by using financial tools like ratio analysis.
The liquidity ratio measures the ability of a firm to meet its short-term obligations and the
short-term financial solvency of a firm. The liquidity position of the banks in terms of current
ratios shows that the ratios of both banks NIBL and PBL are below the normal standard (i.e.
2:1) whereas NIBL average ratio is lower than PBL. It shows that the liquidity position in
term of current assets to current liabilities of PBL is better than NIBL. So, it is concluded that
PBL has better liquidity position as compared to NIBLLoan and advances to total deposit
ratio of NIBL and PBL are 0.8482 and 0.7398 respectively. From the above analysis, it is
25
concluded that NIBL has been successful in utilizing their deposits in term of loan and
advances for profit generating purpose compared to NIBL. Cash and bank balance to total
