Executive Summery

Banking structure has a great influence on the functioning of an economy. Each and

every bank within the banking structure has its impact on the perfectness of the banking

structure of an economy. Now-a-days, banks have become integral part of our life.

Modern life cannot be thought without banks. Well furnished banking structure can

accelerate the rate of economic growth by mobilizing the funds from surplus group to

deficit group who will use it for the expansion of productive activities

State Bank of India is the largest Indian commercial bank operating in 34 foreign

countries other than India. It has developed its business in Bangladesh very rapidly

because of the economic necessity of the country and its superior services, modern

systems etc. It is included Indian Visa Application Center for five months, which is

helping people to get various Indian visa especially for business related visa improved

business link between the two country.

our national economy.

Introduction

State Bank of India is a foreign commercial bank that established its operations in

Bangladesh some years ago. But within a short period it has improved its position and

now is still improving. It is a modern bank and provides all types of banking services that

a bank can provide. Though there are some problems, it is a highly potential bank.

However, Internship is a part and parcel to complete BBA program. It is essential to get

experienced with real organizational situation and make a combination of theory and

practice. In performing internship program, I have chosen State Bank of India. I thought,

it will be more successful to become familiar with various modern banking processes if I

do it in a fast growing foreign bank like State Bank of India which has international

recognition.

building up of the theoretical knowledge about business administration

applicability of the theoretical concepts which were taught in the

classrooms. As per norm, this report is the requirement of the

Limitations

8

There are some limitations of this report which are given below:

All the activities, ideas and perception based on Sylhet Branch; there is a little

deviation in developing the overall opinion regarding the performance of

whole State Bank India.

Many important information of SBI have been limited here because it could

not be collected for maintaining secrecy of the respective branches.

Limitation of time was a major constraint in making a complete study, due to

time limitation. The duration was only twelve weeks. It was too limited to

cover all the banking area. Many aspects could not be discussed in the present

study.

Getting Relevant papers and documents were strictly prohibited by bank.

1.1 About State Bank of India

State Bank of India is the largest commercial bank in India in terms of profit, assets,

The origin of the state bank of India goes back to the first decade of the nineteenth

century with establishment of the bank of Calcutta in Calcutta on 2 June 1806. Three

years later the bank received its charter and was redesigned as the bank of Bengal (2

January 1809). A unique institution, it was the first joint stock bank of British India

sponsored by the government of bangla .the bank of Bombay (15 April 1840) and the

bank of madras (1 July 1843) followed the bank of Bengal. These three banks remained

at the apex of modern banking in India till their amalgamation as the imperial bank of

India on 27 January 1921.

The SBI has played a pioneering role in shaping the future of the banking industry in

India since its inception.

The bank started in 1955 with 480 branches and now it has 9033 branches in India and 56

branches /offices all over the world in 34 countries covering all the time zones.

1.2. The State Bank of India in Bangladesh

Before the independence the Dhaka, which set up the city in July 1846, was taken over

the bank of Bengal when it opened its branch in Dhaka in 1862. Subsequently the bank of

banal was merged to imperial bank of India had fairly wide spread branch network in the

then east Bengal at Dhaka, Chittagong, Narayanganj, Mymensing, Rangpur, Sirajganj

and Chandpur.

The imperial bank of India becoming the state bank of India in 1955, provided services in

Bangladesh in its branch at Dhaka, chittagong and narayangonj continued till 1965, after

a brief interruption of ten years the bank was back in Dhaka in 1975 to continue long

tradition of service to this part of the world.

The Sate Bank of India was thus born with the new sense of social purpose aided by the

480 offices and three local head offices inherited from the imperial bank. The concept of

banking as mere repositions of community’s saving and lenders to creditworthy parties

was soon to give way to the concept of purposeful banking sub serving the growing and

diversified financial needs of planned economic development. The state bank of India

was destined to act as the pacesetter in this respect and lead the Indian banking system

into the exciting field of national development.

The bank is opened its 2nd branch (49th foreign branch) on 20th august 2003 at Agrabad,

Chittagong in Bangladesh to extend state of the art computerization banking services to

the people of the port city and commercial capital of Bangladesh

Bangladesh to cater the banking services to the people of the country.

The bank opened its fourth branch (56th foreign branch) on 15th may 2006 at Dhaka,

Gulshan area in Bangladesh to cater the banking services including processing of Indian

visa.

4.1. Findings

During my internship period, I observed that Indian Visa Application center newly

introduced in State Bank of India though it is not related with Banking part, but as it

is a service Bank getting benefit from it. For example, Bank selling

Dollars/Endorsement and taking visa fee. But there are certain factors that the bank

management should look at. Customers should get more benefit, like most number

customer are unable to fill up the application from, some customer not able to come in

the bank, reducing the visa fee, easy process to get medical visa, increase the visa

processing time, taking long time to deliver passport etc. I want to highlights some

special findings below:

Some employees are not efficient because of lacking in proper training and

experience in perspective field.

It is in located in a major area of Sylhet.

Scope of market penetration through diversified product.

There is attractive market in Sylhet.

Lengthy communication between management of head branch.

Available products are not in sufficient to face immense competition.

High concentration on fixed deposit

23

4.2. Recommendations

As a visa processing system is one kind of service so to increase the efficiency in

customer service the State Bank of India should try to improve and develop the process

of providing services. To get a perfect process of delivering services, the customers

should be encouraged to participate by providing their valuable advices.

As most of customers are not able to fill up the application from management should

take necessary step such as there should be an advisor to help them.

As rules of the visa processing that all member must come in the bank for submit there

visa form but in case of like patient he or she not able to come in the bank that time

management should helpful to them.

Visa processing fee should reduce.

It is shown that in case of medical visa there is very complex process to get visa. In

case of medical visa management should apply easy process and gibe surety to get visa.

Visa processing time is not enough so management should increase time for applicant.

It is taken seven days to return passport it is the long time so management should take

step to reduce the time.

24

5.1. Conclusion

State Bank of India has from the very beginning experienced growth in their operations.

They started really small but have grown into a renowned and successful private bank

within the last five years. From the last five years it included Indian visa processing

service. It very helpful for peoples of Sylhet, cause before establishing this service

system peoples are had to Dhaka or Chittagong for getting Indian visa. But now it is very

easy to get visa from own city. It is providing service for five months. Because so many

peoples are needs to go our neighbor country for visit, business, studies, medical service

etc.

If the State Bank of India improve there banking service as well as visa processing

service that can help State Bank of India to gain more customer satisfaction and it will be

easier for them to retain their present customer base and also acquire new customers to

reach their goal of becoming the leading private bank in Bangladesh.
