IPOs (Initial Public Offerings) are one of the most popular investment activities in Nepal. Every year, hundreds of thousands of Nepali investors apply for new share issues on NEPSE — from hydropower companies and banks to insurance firms and microfinance institutions. Keeping track of every open date, close date, and allotment result is difficult when you have multiple IPOs running simultaneously.
This page solves that. The live calendar below pulls real-time data so you always know exactly which IPOs are open, which are coming soon, and when allotment results will be published.

How to apply for an IPO in Nepal (MeroShare / C-ASBA)
Nepal's IPO application system is fully online through MeroShare and the C-ASBA (Central Application Supported by Blocked Amount) platform managed by CDSC. Here is the step-by-step process:
Open a DEMAT account
Visit any registered depository participant (DP) — most commercial banks and brokers offer this. You need your citizenship certificate, PAN card, and two passport photos. Your BOID (Beneficial Owner Identification number) is issued after opening.
Register on MeroShare
Go to meroshare.cdsc.com.np and register using your BOID. Link your bank account that will be used for IPO payments. Your bank must be a C-ASBA member bank (most major banks are).
Apply during the open period
Log in to MeroShare → go to ASBA → select the IPO you want → enter the number of units (minimum 10) → select your bank → submit. The application amount is blocked in your account but not debited yet.
Wait for allotment result
Results are published 7–10 working days after the IPO closes. If you are allotted shares, the amount is debited. If not, the blocked amount is released back to your account automatically — no action needed.
Trade after listing
Allotted shares are credited to your DEMAT account and listed on NEPSE typically 7–14 days after allotment. You can then sell them through your broker's TMS platform or hold for long-term gains.
⚠️ Important: one application per PAN
You can only submit one IPO application per PAN number. Multiple applications from the same PAN are rejected. If you and your family members each have their own PAN, each of you can apply separately — this is the only legal way to increase your household's chances of allotment.
How to check IPO allotment results in Nepal
Once the allotment date passes (visible in the calendar above), you can check your result through any of these methods:
| Method | Where to check | What you need |
|---|---|---|
| MeroShare (easiest) | meroshare.cdsc.com.np → My ASBA | MeroShare login |
| CDSC website | cdsc.com.np → IPO Result | BOID number |
| Company website | Issuing company's official site | Application number |
| Bank SMS | Automatic if your bank is C-ASBA linked | Registered mobile |
| This blog's alerts | Subscribe above ↑ | Your email |
✅ What happens if you are not allotted?
If you do not receive an allotment, the blocked amount in your bank account is automatically released — usually within 2–3 working days after the allotment date. You do not need to do anything. The money simply becomes available in your account again.
Tax on IPO profits in Nepal — what you need to know
Any profit you make from selling IPO shares on NEPSE is subject to Capital Gains Tax (CGT) under Nepal's Income Tax Act 2058. The tax is deducted automatically by your broker at the time of sale — you do not have to calculate or pay it separately.
| Holding period | Tax rate | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Less than 365 days (short-term) | 7.5% on profit | Buy at Rs 100, sell at Rs 200 → profit Rs 100 → tax Rs 7.50 |
| More than 365 days (long-term) | 5% on profit | Buy at Rs 100, sell at Rs 200 → profit Rs 100 → tax Rs 5.00 |
| Dividend income | 5% withheld at source | Declared dividend Rs 10/share → you receive Rs 9.50 |
💡 FY 2083/84 update: CGT is now a final tax
From FY 2083/84, Capital Gains Tax on listed securities is a final tax. This means the CGT deducted by your broker at the time of sale is your complete tax obligation — you do not need to include share market profits in your personal income tax return or pay any additional tax based on your income bracket. This is a major reform that benefits all NEPSE investors.
Tips to maximise your IPO chances in Nepal
- Apply on day 1. There is no advantage to applying early or late within the open window, but applying on day 1 avoids the risk of forgetting.
- Apply from every eligible family member's PAN. Each PAN holder can submit one application. A family of four applying separately quadruples your allotment chances.
- Keep sufficient balance. The blocked amount must be available in your bank account for the full duration of the open period. If your balance drops below the required amount, your application may fail.
- Check the issue size before applying. Large IPOs with many units available (like major hydropower companies) have better allotment odds than small issues with fewer units. Check the subscription ratio from our calendar above.
- Subscribe to alerts. Many investors miss IPOs simply because they did not know about them in time. Use the email alert box above to get notified the day each IPO opens.
- Track allotment dates. Knowing your allotment date in advance lets you plan your next steps — whether to sell on listing day or hold for long-term gains.
⚠️ Hydropower IPOs: worth watching in FY 2083/84
Hydropower companies are the most active IPO issuers on NEPSE in 2083/84. With Nepal's energy export agreement with India expanding and several large hydro projects nearing completion, the sector is expected to generate strong IPO pipeline activity throughout the fiscal year. Keep an eye on the Upcoming filter in the calendar above for new hydro IPOs.

How do I apply for an IPO in Nepal?

How do I check IPO allotment results in Nepal?
Check allotment results on MeroShare under "My ASBA", on the CDSC website (cdsc.com.np), or on the issuing company's official website. Results are usually published within 7–10 working days after the IPO closes. You can also subscribe to alerts above to receive result notifications by email.
What is C-ASBA in Nepal?
C-ASBA (Central Application Supported by Blocked Amount) is Nepal's centralised online IPO application system managed by CDSC. It allows investors to apply for IPOs through their bank without transferring money upfront — the amount is only blocked and released automatically if not allotted.
How many units can I apply for in a Nepal IPO?
The minimum application is 10 units (one lot) per PAN. You can apply for more, but allotment is lottery-based when oversubscribed — so applying for more units does not increase your chances of getting shares. Each PAN can only submit one application per IPO.
Are IPO profits taxable in Nepal?
Yes. Short-term capital gains (shares held under 365 days) are taxed at 7.5% and long-term gains at 5%. The tax is deducted at source by your broker when you sell — you do not need to pay it separately. From FY 2083/84, this CGT is treated as a final tax, meaning no additional personal income tax applies on share profits.

What is a BOID number in Nepal?
BOID (Beneficial Owner Identification number) is your unique 16-digit DEMAT account identifier issued by CDSC when you open a DEMAT account. You need it to apply for IPOs, log in to MeroShare, and access your share portfolio. It is found on your DEMAT account certificate or in your CDSC dashboard.
Can NRN (Non-Resident Nepali) apply for IPOs in Nepal?
Yes. NRNs can apply for IPOs in Nepal by opening an NRN DEMAT account and an NRFC (Non-Resident Foreign Currency) account at a Nepal-based bank. The IPO application process through MeroShare is the same. Repatriation of returns is allowed under NRB foreign exchange regulations.
