Bank is the oldest institution that is contributing toward the development of any economy It is treated as an important service industry in modern world. Now a days the function of the bank is not limited in the same geographical limit of the country. Due to globalization and free market in economy, this industry facing much competition in the country and the implementation of WTO will further increase competition. The overall performance of the bank does not only depend upon the banking industry itself but also on performance of economy where it is operating.
The Banking sector in Bangladesh is different from the banking sector in developed countries. This is one of the major service sectors in Bangladesh economy and can be divided mainly in to four categories- Nationalized Bank, local Private Bank, Specialized financial Institutions, and Foreign Banks. .

? Lack of records
Sufficient books, publications and figures were not available. If this limitation were not been there, the report would have been more useful.
The study has the following limitations:
? One of the main limitation of the study is inadequate access to information, which has hampered the scope of the analysis required for the study.
? The time is insufficient to know all activities.
? It was very difficult to collect the information from various personnel for their job constraint.
? Because of the limitations of information, some assumption was made. So there may be some personal mistake in the report.

Methodology Of Study
Primary Sources of Data
Secondary Sources of Data
Methodology of the study
It is very difficult to collect relevant data from a person other than the regular employees of the bank, Because information relating to the performance of the branch office usually is restricted to be disclosed without the permission of the head office or approval of the appropriate authority. That’s why I frequently have to visit head office, and to take help from many other sources for getting relevant information. The sources of information used are:
Primary Data are collected through:
?Observation for the total internship period.
?Conducting oral discussion with both customers and staff of the branch.
? Deskwork during my practical training.
Secondary Data collected from:
? From the organization’s Brochures/ Annual report
