Frequently asked questions
Why is there no NEPSE index or share price here?
NEPSE sells its market data under licence, and we show none until we hold one. The day's index and prices are on NEPSE's own site and in your broker's TMS.
How do I start buying shares in Nepal?
Open a demat account with a depository participant (a bank's capital arm or a broker), which gives you a BOID and a MeroShare login: MeroShare is where you apply for an IPO. To buy and sell listed shares, open a trading account with a broker, which gives you its TMS login.
Where do I check an IPO result?
On CDSC's own page, iporesult.cdsc.com.np, with your BOID, or in MeroShare. We never ask for your BOID.
How are shares taxed?
A sale's gain pays capital gains tax, withheld when it settles: for a resident individual 5% on shares held for a year or less and 3.75% on shares held for more than a year, since Asoj 6, 2083 (September 22, 2026). A cash dividend and bonus shares pay 5%, withheld by the company.
