Abstract:	Deposits are the most secured and liquid financial assets available, which can accelerate bank lending to various sectors. Similarly, bank deposit plays an important role in economic development of country. Deposit serves as the main source of funds for bank intermediation activities which can simply classified as fixed deposit, saving deposit and current deposit. This study attempts to examine the determinants of bank deposits of Nepalese commercial banks. The study is based on secondary data of 20 commercial banks with 140 observations for the period of 2008/09 to 2014/15. Data and information have been collected from Banking and Financial Statistics of NRB and annual reports of the selected commercial banks.The research design adopted in this study is descriptive and causal comparative research design as it deals with the determinants of bank deposits of Nepalese commercial banks. The result shows that the saving deposit is highest for NBL (Rs. 33.55 Billion) and lowest for LUBL (Rs. 3.01 Billion). The average fixed deposit is highest for SBIBL(Rs. 27.10 Billion) and lowest for LUBL (Rs. 4.76 Billion). It has been found that fixed deposit has increased in the majority of the selected commercial banks during the study period. The average current deposit is highest for NBL (Rs. 12.91 Billion) and lowest for LUBL (Rs. 0.42 Billion). It has been found that current deposit has increased in the majority of the selected commercial banks during the study period. The average saving deposit rate is highest for SUNBL (3.34 percent) and lowest for SCBL (2.15 percent). It has been found that deposit rate has decreased in the majority of the selected commercial banks during the study period. The average number of branches is highest for ADBL (242.43 number) and lowest for SCBL (14.29 number). It has been found that number of branches has increased in the majority of the selected commercial banks during the study period. The average ROA is highest for NBBL (4.00 percent) and lowest for MBL (0.60 percent). It has been found that ROA has fluctuated in the majority of the selected commercial banks during the study period. The descriptive statistics for commercial banks shows that the average saving deposit, fixed deposit, current deposit, saving deposit rate, fixed deposit rate, number of branches, return on assets, gross domestic product, population growth rate, money supply and consumer price indexare Rs. 12.88 billion, Rs. 6.65 billion, Rs. 3.79 billion, 2.50%, 4.37%, 50.11 numbers, 1.72%, 4.34%, 1.35%, 18.83% and 9.47% respectively. The correlation matrix shows that number of branches, population growth rate, money supply and return on assetsare positively related to saving deposit, whilesaving deposit rate,gross domestic product and consumer price indexare negatively related to saving deposit. The result states that number of branches has positive relationship with fixed deposit. However, fixed deposit rate, return on assets, gross domestic product, population growth rate, money supply and consumer price indexhave negative relationship with fixed deposit. On the other hand, number of branches, return on assets and population growth rateare positively related to current deposit, whereas gross domestic product, money supply and consumer price indexare negatively related to current deposit. The regression analysis reveals that saving deposit rate has negative impact on saving deposit. This indicates that higher saving deposit rate, lower would be the saving deposit. However, number of branches has positive impact on bank deposit. This reveals that higher the number of branches, higher would be the bank deposit. On the other hand, return on assets has positive impact on saving deposit and current deposit. This states that higher the return on assets, higher would be the saving deposit and current deposit. The study also shows that consumer price index has negative impact on bank deposit. This reveals that higher the consumer price index, lower would be the bank deposit. Similarly, gross domestic product has negative impact on bank deposit. This states that higher the gross domestic product, lower would be the bank deposit. On the other hand, the population growth rate has positive impact on saving deposit and current deposit. This denotes that higher the population growth rate, higher would be the saving deposit and current deposit. The study also reveals that saving deposit rate, fixed deposit rate, number of branches, return on assets and consumer price index are major determinants of banks deposit of Nepalese commercial banks.
