The origin of the word” Bank” is shrouded in mystery. According to one viewpoint, the Italian business house carrying on crude form of banking were called “Banchi Bancheri” According to other viewpoints, the word bank is derived from German word “Banck” which means a heap or a mound. Subsequently Italians start edusing the name “Banco”. Which meant accumulationof either money or stock. In England, the issue of paper money by the government was refered to as raising a bank. But it can be safely assumed that the word bank is derived from Italian or German .

SUGGESTIONS

SUGGESTIONS 92

•

Interest rate, processing fees, tenure, margin money-all these are important in loans-housing loan, auto loans, personal loan, education loans etc. So bank should revise all above keeping in view all other banks. Bank should appoint some marketing executive for this purpose who can give information of market and other banks, revision of loan timely so that our bank can revise it very soon. These marketing executive should give report to Head Office directly for timely processing so that as early as possible, market can be fully captured.

•

Loan limit of all loans should be increasing keeping in other view private sector banks and nationalized banks.

•

One of the major weakness of bank of Punjab is processing timely. As today every person is very busy. He cannot more days for taking loan so. Processing time should be reduced. But this processing time can be reduced only when the sanction authority is necessary for branch offices.

•

As in nationalized banks, there is not negative file, but in bank of Punjab but there is a list of negative profile. This is the main reason of the nationalized banks having more customers. So. Negative file should be reduced or eliminated.

93

Other private sector banks like ICICI, HDFC etc. have lower interest rate than BOP. So the bank should reduce it interest rate for being in the competition with these banks.’’

Bank of Punjab is lower loan amount than other banks, so it should increase its loans amount for attracting customer towards it products loans .

The bank should give authority to all its branches for providing loans.

94
