Introduction
As a business grows, it may open branches in different towns and cites within country or outside country in order to market its product over a large territory and, thus, increase its profits. A branch may be defined as a section of an enterprise, geographically separated from the rest of the business, controlled by a Head office and generally carrying on the same activities as of the enterprise. For example, Bata Shoe Company has branches in various cities all over the country. The same example holds good for a commercial bank also.
