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

It was too limited to cover all the banking area. Many aspects could not be discussed in the present study.

Lack of comprehension of the respondents was the major problem that created a lot of confusion regarding verification of conceptual question. Another limitation of this report is Banks policy of not disclosing some data and information for obvious reason, which could be very much useful.

As being an intern, it also created some problems as I was unable to acquire hands-onexperience in all the departments, due to the banks policy of maintaining secrecy and also because I did not get the opportunity in all the departments.
