EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As a first year MBA student in K.S. Rangasamy college of Arts & Science. I had to
undertake a one month internship as a part of my curriculum. I undertook my
internship at LAKSHMI VILAS BANK.
The internship is mainly concerned with the departmental study and the
overall working of the organization as a whole. The study mainly gives an idea about
the various functional departments in the company. The study covers all the major
departments of the company and helps in getting a clear view about the department. It
helps us to understand the department and shows an overall view of the functioning of
the company through its various departments.

1.1 INDUSTRY PROFILE
Banking in India in the modern sense originated in the last decades of the 18th
century. The first banks were Bank of Hindustan (1770-1829) and The General Bank
of India, established in 1786 and since defunct.
The largest bank, and the oldest still in existence, is the State Bank of India,
which originated in the Bank of Calcutta in June 1806, which almost immediately
became the Bank of Bengal. This was one of the three presidency banks, the other two
being the Bank of Bombay and the Bank of Madras, all three of which were
established under charters from the British East India Company. The three banks
merged in 1921 to form the Imperial Bank of India, which, upon India's independence,
became the State Bank of India in 1955. For many years the presidency banks acted as
quasi-central banks, as did their successors, until the Reserve Bank of India was
established in 1935.
In 1969 the Indian government nationalised all the major banks that it did not
already own and these have remained under government ownership. They are run
under a structure know as 'profit-making public sector undertaking' (PSU) and are
allowed to compete and operate as commercial banks. The Indian banking sector is
made up of four types of banks, as well as the PSUs and the state banks, they have
been joined since the 1990s by new private commercial banks and a number of foreign
banks.
Banking in India was generally fairly mature in terms of supply, product range
and reach-even though reach in rural India and to the poor still remains a challenge.
The government has developed initiatives to address this through the State Bank of
India expanding its branch network and through the National Bank for Agriculture and
Rural Development with things like microfinance.

deposit of 67504.54 billion (US$1.1 trillion or €840 billion) and bank credit of
52604.59 billion (US$890 billion or €650 billion). The net profit of the banks
operating in India was 1027.51 billion (US$17 billion or €13 billion) against a
turnover of 9148.59 billion(US$150 billion or €110 billion) for the fiscal year 2012-

CURRENT BANKING TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT:
In recent years there has also been considerable change in the functioning of
bank. There has been an increase in the amount of technology used by banks, e.g,
some banks use cash dispensers and offer twenty four hours cash withdrawal facility,
instant account details and money transfer through computer network. There is much
more competition in the banking sector. Services have to be sold in ways never done
previously.
From the regular banking operation, termed as ‘house keeping', balancing of
books and reconciliations of inter branch and intra branch entries of simple money
transactions, commercial banks are diversifying their priorities.
New financial institutions like merchant banks, leasing companies, mutual
funds and venture capital companies have come into existence. Commercial banks too
have joined the hub of capital market activity. Hence there has been a transformation
in the services offered by banks and this has led to considerable change in the type of
manpower recruited. Employment avenues in quasi financial institutions have shot up.
However, with demand on profit, in the banking industry, particularly in the
international banking sector the total concept of seniority and promotion has been
given a go-by and competence among juniors is recognised. ‘Smartest' people matter
and aggressive banking has taken over. With such professionalism pay scales have
gone up and the number of employees has gone down. Banks have set right their
organisational structure for efficient services.
Computers have taken over and recruitment pattern has been favourable to
more technical manpower. Management graduates, Chartered Accountants, Chartered
Financial Analysts are hence in greater demand in the banking sector. Presently,
emphasis is on specialisation and diversification. The field of capital markets requires
professional expertise.
Page 13
13
To cater to the needs of a growing industry for marketing its shares and
debentures public sector banks and financial institutions have started their own
Merchant Banking divisions. Many industrial houses too have started their own
Merchant Banking companies, acting as lead managers for public issues of shares and
debentures, e.g., Times Guarantee, Tata Finance, etc.
Large share broking firms have also taken on the functions of finance and
investment companies and acted as managers for the issue of shares and also as
underwriters during public issues.

3.2.7.PAN SERVICE
A new provision relating to tax deduction at source (TDS) under the Income Tax
Act 1961 will become applicable with effect from 1st April 2010. If the PAN is
not furnished to the bank, tax at the prescribed rate or 20%, whichever is higher
will be deducted, while paying or crediting interest on deposits. However, there
is no TDS on interest earned on NRE Deposits in Rupee or Foreign currency and
also on interest earned in domestic SB & RD A/cs. For domestic term deposits,
TDS will be deducted, only if the aggregate interest exceeds Rs.10,000 in a
financial year. As per the revised rules, Form 15 G / 15 H for non deduction of
tax in domestic term deposits will be valid or accepted, only if the customer
furnishes his PAN to the bank. Once the tax is deducted by the bank and paid to
the Govt. of India, (where PAN is not submitted) Bank cannot refund the
amount. Hence we advise you to obtain PAN at the earliest and communicate the
same to your bank branch before tax is actually deducted on interest payments.
PAN card has multifarious uses in our day to day life:
It is a major identification document.
For investments in primary and secondary markets.
For opening Demat accounts and Trading accounts.
For Mutual Fund investments.
Mandatory for any depositor (including Non-Residents) whose receipts
