Accounts Required to Apply for IPO in Nepal

First of all, let’s talk about all the necessary accounts that you have to create before you can even apply for IPO in Nepal. So, there are three main accounts that you will need if you just want to buy IPOs, and that is Bank, Mero Share, and Demat Account.

Open or Own a Bank Account

This is important as all the purchases or funds that you earn from IPOs will be transferred or deposited directly into your account. Commercial Bank or Development Bank which supports DEMAT and Mero Share accounts.

If you already have a Bank Account then, visit your bank’s official website and apply for Demat and Mero share account.

Creating Mero Share and Demat accounts is easy you can fill online form or just visit your bank’s nearest branch and fill-up the form and submit it. Your accounts will be created within 48/72 hours (depending on the bank) and then they will send your details to your phone(SMS) and email address.

How much investment is needed?

IPOs are very competitive as there is a large number of investors who want to buy these IPOs and the number of shares companies provide is very less in number. So, the chance of one getting the allotted share is slim. But in case you are lucky enough and get allotted IPO then also you will usually not get more than 10 units which are Rs. 1000.

So, you will need to invest around Rs 1000 + C-ASBA charge. Every bank charges different C-ASBA charges so I suggest you check the link below to know what amount your bank charges.

Are they any hidden charges when you apply for IPO?

No, the only extra charge you will have to endure is the C-ASBA charge from the bank which is non-refundable. In case you are not allotted for IPO then the RS. 1000 will be refunded to your Bank account but the C-ASBA charge will not.

Hope this answers your question on how to buy IPO in Nepal.
