Mission:
“We strive to enhance the quality of life of all Nepalese by eliminating barriers to

innovative and affordable financial services, through vast networks of efficient
centres, socially responsible business processes and empathetic human resource”
People earn money in order to survive and afford their daily expenses. But people
want to save some money for their future unknown life. So people save some money
from their income and deposit it in the bank. Because they know that a bank gives
interest on their deposited money. This is the main function of the bank. The bank also
collects scattered money from various sectors by providing certain rate of interest. The
bank collects money as a deposit. Collecting money from the customer subject to the
obligation to draw from back to the extent of the amount available on their a/c is called
deposit. Banks provides cheques for withdrawing of deposited money when the customer
needs it. This is the main function of the bank. The money can be deposited in three a/c
in the bank. These are:
1. Saving a/c
2. Current a/c
3. Fixed a/c
Saving a/c
Saving a/c is a combined a/c of fixed a/c and current a/c. This a/c mainly oriented
with middle class people, farmer, employee, labour and small business who have little
savings. In this deposit customers get certain rate of interest and also facility to withdraw
certain amount in certain period. This is very much liked and is the main source of fund
of a bank.
A bank collects capital from saving deposit. Saving a/c are for non-trading
customers who have some potential for saving and who don't have numbers of
transactions entering their a/c. Saving a/c is one of the widely used a/c system of
4
commercial bank. The bank prefers to invest deposit in saving a/c. The bank maintains
less amount of liquidity compared to current deposit. At the present, the customers can
draw amount of Rs. 10,00,000 in the week. And if more money is needed, the bank
should be informed written in advance (7 days before), otherwise the bank will charge
interest beyond limit. The bank can demand certain amount of money as a minimum
balance to open or run the a/c. The maximum required amount to open or run the saving
a/c RBB bank branch Rukum (west), is Rs. 500 now. The depositor gets as interest
rate of minimum 5% and maximum 12% per annum in their deposit.
c)In the time of liquidation saving deposit get first priority than fixed & current
deposit.
d)If depositor wants to draw more money than the maximum limitation determined
by the bank, the bank should be given written information in advance.
e)If depositors need more money and they drawn money without giving any prior
notice. The bank will charge interest beyond limit.
5
a)To find out which methods can be used by the bank for attracting customers to
achieve its organizational objectives.
c)To find out the share of saving deposit out of the total deposit of RBB bank.
e)To draw out the problems regarding saving deposit and as a whole banking
system in Nepal.
1.4 Rationale
Commercial banks can play an important role in the enhancement of developing countries
like Nepal. It also helps to improve the economic position of the country.
The main objective of this research is to analyze the financial performance through the
use of appropriate financial tools. This study will be helpful to different parties, since the
Significance of banking business for a national development is obvious. This study helps
to the person and parties such as shareholders, management, brokers, customers, owners,
investors & government etc. and other policy making person who are concerned with
banking sectors.
6
The present study will be more helpful to aware the shareholder regarding financial
performance of this bank. Besides that, other beneficiaries of the study can be categorized
as following.
1.5 Review
In that study Mr. Suraj Bastakoti mainly focuses his study at the procedure of
opening saving deposits of RBB bank . He collected necessary materials, information
and data for the report through contacting concerned staffs and through personal
appointment with the department head. He used secondary data only.
7
Some excerpts of the study are given below: in every country, banks play an
important role in its economic development. So, banking is an important subject.
RBB Bank Limited was established in 2067 B.S. as the 30 th commercial bank of
Nepal. with the establishment of RBB bank has been playing a vital role in the
economic development of Nepal by providing banking services to productive sectors
like agriculture, trade industry etc. In the established year RBB bank collected 1.7
million deposits and invested 2 million on loan. At present, the paid up capital of RBB
bank is Rs. 404 lakh.
In that report Suraj Bastakoti presents 6 years data from 2068 to 2073. He
analyzed & presented them into the table graph & diagram. From this he makes a
conclusion of deposits of RBB bank are growing up. But saving deposit. Ratio to
total deposit is slightly increasing in the first 2 years but after that the ratio is
decreasing. The main cause of decreasing ratio is present condition of country, i.e.
political unstable situation and terrorism. He analytically explains the RBB bank with
SWOT analysis method. From this method he presents strength, weakness,
opportunity & threats of RBB bank in present situation. We also suggest that RBB
also should provide new skims like private banks. He also points out the decreasing
loyalty of customers with RBB bank.

1.6 Methods
Research Design Research refers to the various sequential steps adopted in studying
a problem with certain objectives in view. It is based on instructions suggestions
and supervisions. The entire task is completed using following steps as below:
The study is mainly based on the secondary data. It is hard to get primary data
because big organizations do not have enough time to provide information and
interview to every researcher and the policy of an organization also play an
important role in accessing such data. It covers the data period of years from Ashad
2074 to Ashad 2079 B.S.
9
There are mainly two types of data depending upon methods of data collection
Through observation
The data, which is already collected and used by someone, is known as secondary data.
Secondary data are the data that have been gathered not for the immediate study but
for some other purpose. Secondary data can be obtained from either private or
public sources. It is collected indirectly. The advantages of secondary data are that
they are low in cost and do not require much time to collect. However, it has
disadvantages such as the data may not fit exactly as per requirement for the research
problem as defined in the study. The secondary data would be used to study in this
field work are:
Internet.
10
Due to lack of personal access the study mainly depend on the balance sheet prepared
by LBL, which is the second source. Data gathered from the balance sheet are
summarized in millions whenever necessary in order to minimize the calculation. Our
study is further based on the Banking and Statistical volume no 62 published by
NRB. Primary data making inquiry with the official of the RBB Bank Ltd has been
used whenever necessary. The main sources of data i.e. the secondary sources are:
The methodology used in order to collect necessary materials, information and data
for report were done through contacting the concerned staff and through personal
appointment with the department head.
1.6.4 Instruments
The mathematical tools that are used to forecast about the future, through it is unknown,
based on past data, are called statistical tools. Various statistical tools can be applied in
the study. Mainly in this study, following statistical tools are used.
a) Bar Diagram
When two or more interrelated data are to be represented than multiple bar diagram is
used. In this method 'X' axis represents for time and 'Y' axis represent the variables. It
consists of a set equidistance rectangles of equal width. The height of rectangles is
represented by the value of different variables. Different shades are used to differentiate
the bar.
This simple method can be applied in studying the trend of data. In our analysis, points
are plotted taking time along x-axis. By joining these points with the help of scale, what
we received is called line of current deposit.
The collected data from different sources have been compared and compiled in one
form with refining and unnecessary information are through to out. Required facts are
selected, analyzed and presented in the form of tables, charts and graphs.
12
This study covers the data of the Eight and a half years from
F/Y 20074 to Mid 2079.
CHAPTER II
ANALYSIS AND RESULT
Deposits are the lifeblood of the commercial banks. They are the chief source of the
bank fund & accounts. They attract small savings not only from the low and
middle-income groups but also from the people belonging to higher income
groups and invest these funds in productive sectors. Therefore the collection of
deposit is the main function of the bank. to know the financial position of the bank
one should have knowledge about total deposit. The following formula is used to
find out this ratio.

The table 1 along with the diagram 1 shows the deposit trends of Ashad 2074 to
Ashad 2075 It shows the total deposits of RBB Bank are increasing each year. It
shows the public attitude towards the bank is positive. The percentage increase
between 2073 and 2074 was 15.06% and between year 2075 and 2076 was 13.69%
which increase good sign. But percentage decrease between year 2076 & 2077 was
8.74% and between year 2077 & 2078 was( -4.68% )which is not good sign but
between year 2078 & 2079 was 7.94% which is good sign for the RBB Bank .This
situation is created by the increasing good political situation & decreasing terrorism of
Nepal.
It is necessary to know the contribution of saving, current & fixed deposit to total deposit
without this the total deposit would not exist, So it is necessary to find out the
composition of current, saving and fixed deposit.

The above table 2 and diagram 2 shows that amount in currents & saving deposit is
increasing up to 2074 and decrease in 2075 then again increase in 2076. But fixed
deposit is increasing up to 2077 Then after all deposits are going down up to 2074
and again they are increase in 2077. The fixed deposit has highest amount deposit in
16
year 2077. Then after the saving deposit has highest amount deposit in comparison
to current & fixed deposit. Current deposit contributes lowest part in total deposit in
comparison to saving & fixed deposit. In Ashad 2079, current deposit, saving deposit
and fixed deposit hold 422065, current deposit, saving deposit & fixed deposit has
contributed 4.10% .64
Saving deposit is the back bond of the bank. So it is necessary to know the
saving deposit trends, When we study about bank after all this report is also
concerned with saving deposit of RBB Bank branch office, Rukum (west).

The table 3 along with the diagram 3 shows the trend pattern of saving deposit for 6
years period time. The year 2074 is taken as the base year for analysis purpose while
looking at the above table & diagram. There has been increasing trend in saving
deposit. It shows that people have been motivated and encouraged to open saving
a/c & deposit their money and earn certain rate of interest on them but in 2079. In
this year, saving deposit goes down with positive change. The bank is also making
profit out of deposit by
. They are unable to use the deposited money. The maximum deposit money is pending
in a/c so now a days bank are facing more trouble. They are not able to make profit.
Bank, also decrease interest rate in saving deposit.

Saving deposit of total deposit Ratio
The above table shows the percentage of saving deposit to that of total
deposit. This table shows that the contribution of saving deposit to total deposit is
very high. This
table depicts that the amount of saving deposits is increasing from 2074 to 2079.
From bad condition of the country, the amount of saving deposits is decreasing in
2072 ,but being a good condition of country in 2079 it is increasing. The ratios
with the total deposit are slightly increasing in the year 2078 to 2079. The average
ratio of saving deposits to total deposits is 58.99%

Table - 5
The bank would make enough profit if it gives maximum, credit from
the deposit But it is not possible, because there is certain rules that bank has
to follow such as it has to maintain certain amount of cash in bank premises.
The above table shows the loan strategy of of Rastriya Banijya Bank It shows
that the ratio of loan is going slowly down ward. The ratio of year 2074 is
17.94%, 2075 is 16.01%, 2076 is 13.38 %, 2077 is 11.33% , 2078 is 9.74% &
2079 is 9.75%.It shows that in average 13.02% of total credit to total deposit
ratio.

Saving deposit is the short-term interest bearing liabilities and loans and
advances are the major source of investment to generate income in a commercial
bank. Difference between interest on deposit & interest on loan is the profit and
main sources of expenses. So if banks are able to give more loans, they are able
to get more profit. Therefore, loan and advances to saving deposits ratios are
measured to find out how many times loan and advances are compared to saving
deposits. This ratio indicates the utilization of short-term interest bearing funds
for income generating purpose. The above table 5 shows the loan given from the
deposit. Now it would be appropriate to analyze the loan from saving deposit.
Usually bank provides loan for short term due to their flexibility & unpredictable
maturity nature. The following formula is used to calculate this ratio.

every year except 2076. The ratio is highest in 2074. The above analysis implies
that NBL is utilizing short-term fund of depositors efficiently. So the bank uses
new strategies for promotion or increment of the loan. If the bank doesn't think
about this, bank should face big trouble with huge loss in transaction.

The above figure shows that trend line of saving deposit is increasing with the
passage of time. Due to the terrorism and political situations of the country, in 2073
saving deposit is decreasing slowly.
Winning in a business war is not a simple task in this scientific world. The
symptoms of business war have already been witnessed even in Nepalese business
environment. In a highly competitive business environment general management is not
adequate to achieve goal & full fill their objectives and it requires specific
management which is called strategic management and SWOT analysis is a key
part of strategic management that helps to analyze the internal and external
environment of an organization. Besides other kinds of organization SWOT analysis
