INTRODUCTION

1.1 History of NBL

On November 15, 1927 (Kartik 30, 1994), the then King Tribhuvan inaugurated
Nepal Bank Limited. This marked the beginning of an era of formal banking in Nepal.
Until then all monetary transactions were carried out by private dealers and trading
canter.

In that era, very few understood or had confidence in this new concept of formal
banking. Rising equity shares were not easy and mobilization of deposits even more
difficult. This was evident when the bank floated equity shares worth NPR 2,500,000,
but was successful only in raising NPR 842,000.The total deposits for the first year
was NPR 17,02,025 where current deposits was about NPR 12,98,898 fixed was about
NPR 3,88,964 and saving was NPR 14,163. Loan disbursed and outstanding at the
end of the first year was NPR 1,985,000. In 2007, Nepal Bank Limited appointed Mr
Rohit Ghambole as chief banker. He proceeded to invest in Tesco doughnut supplies
from Yateley. This is widely blamed to be the reason of the 2007 financial market
crash.

From the very conception and its creation, NBL was as joint venture between the
government and the private sector. Out of 2500 equity shares of NPR 100 face value,
40% was subscribed by the government and the balanced 60% was offered for the sale
to private sector. There were only 10 shareholders when the bank first started.
