Whether you applied for company shares in an IPO or units in a mutual fund's New Fund Offer, the result lives in the same place: your Mero Share account. Here is exactly where to look, plus the one meaningful difference between how IPOs and NFOs actually get allotted.
Quick answer: Log in to meroshare.cdsc.com.np, go to My ASBA, then Application Report, and select the specific IPO or NFO. You can also check independently via the official CDSC result portal using just your 16-digit BOID, without logging in.
Where results actually come from
Mero Share is the investor-facing portal built on top of CDSC (Central Depository System and Clearing Limited), Nepal's official share depository. Mero Share does not generate allotment results itself - it displays them only after CDSC updates the underlying allotment data following the issue manager's lottery or allocation process. That is worth knowing because a delay in seeing your result on Mero Share is usually a data-publication timing issue, not something wrong with your account.
Checking via Mero Share (My ASBA)
- Go to meroshare.cdsc.com.np and select your Depository Participant (your bank or broker) from the dropdown.
- Log in with your username and password.
- Click "My ASBA" from the main navigation menu. ASBA stands for Application Supported by Blocked Amount, the mechanism Nepal uses for both IPO and NFO applications.
- Open "Application Report." This lists every issue you have applied for, IPO or NFO, along with its current status.
- Select the specific IPO or NFO to see your individual result and application details.
Checking via the official CDSC result portal
If Mero Share is slow, which is common on result-publication days due to high traffic, the CDSC's dedicated result portal is a lighter, faster alternative that needs no login.
- Go to the official CDSC IPO result portal.
- Select the company or fund from the dropdown list.
- Enter your 16-digit BOID (Beneficiary Owner Identification Number).
- Click "View Result" to see Applied, Allotted, or Not Allotted status instantly.

How NFO allotment differs from IPO allotment
| Aspect | Company IPO | Mutual Fund NFO |
|---|---|---|
| What you receive | Company shares | Fund units |
| Allotment method | Computerized lottery if oversubscribed | Depends on scheme structure - open-ended schemes generally allot units to all eligible applicants; closed-ended schemes may pro-rate if oversubscribed |
| Where it shows up | Demat account via Mero Share, then tradable on NEPSE | Demat account via Mero Share; open-ended units are managed through the fund manager rather than listed on NEPSE |
| If not allotted | ASBA-blocked amount released back to your bank | ASBA-blocked amount released back to your bank |
| Where you check | Mero Share My ASBA, or CDSC result portal | Mero Share My ASBA and My Portfolio; also visible via the fund manager's own portal in many cases |
Note: Allotment rules can vary by the specific fund's prospectus, particularly whether it is open-ended or closed-ended. Always check the individual NFO's prospectus or the fund manager's official communication for the exact allotment basis rather than assuming it works identically to a standard IPO.
What happens after you see your result
- If allotted: shares or units are credited to your Demat account, typically visible within roughly one to two weeks. For IPOs, listing on NEPSE generally follows within a few working days after crediting, after which trading can begin.
- If not allotted: the blocked ASBA amount is released back to your linked bank account automatically - no action is required on your part, though it is worth confirming the release shows up within the following few working days.
- If partially allotted: you receive fewer units or shares than applied for, with the difference in blocked funds released back to your bank account.
Common login and checking problems
| Problem | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Cannot log in | Wrong Depository Participant selected | Always choose your registered bank/broker from the dropdown, not a different one |
| "Invalid BOID" | Typing mistake | Re-verify your 16-digit BOID character by character |
| Password not accepted | CDSC auto-expiry | Use "Forgot Password" to reset |
| Result not showing yet | CDSC has not published the allotment data | Wait - results are typically published within 7 to 10 working days after the issue closes |
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to log in to check my result?
No. The CDSC result portal only requires your 16-digit BOID and the company or fund name, no login needed. Logging into Mero Share is only necessary if you want your full application history in one place.
How soon after applying can I check the result?
Results are typically published within about 7 to 10 working days after the issue closes, following bank verification, issue manager consolidation, and the CDSC allotment process.
My result says "Allotted" but I do not see the shares yet. Is something wrong?
Not necessarily - crediting to your Demat account commonly takes an additional week or two after the result is published. Check your Mero Share "My Portfolio" section after that window before assuming an issue.
Can I check IPO or NFO results through my bank's app instead?
Yes, ASBA-enabled bank mobile apps typically show basic allotment status under a "My ASBA" or similar section, though the CDSC portal and Mero Share generally provide more complete detail.

Conclusion
Checking an IPO or NFO result comes down to two reliable options - Mero Share's My ASBA for full history, or the CDSC portal for a fast, login-free check with just your BOID. Understanding that NFO allotment can follow different rules than a standard IPO, depending on whether the fund is open or closed-ended, helps you interpret the result correctly rather than assuming every allotment works the same way.
