Share Market: Basic Requirements to Start Investing in Nepal


Opening a bank account is an obvious process for getting into the share market. You could open a bank account in any bank and get the job done. You will require a photo and copy of citizenship/passport & you need to show the original citizenship/passport for verification. 

2. DEMAT Account

After you have a bank account, you must now open a DEMAT Account from the bank itself. DEMAT Acc is mandatory for anyone looking to invest in the share market whether it be a primary or secondary market. For a DEMAT account, you need to go to the bank and fill up a form and pay a fee of Rs.150 per year. The shares you receive will get credited to your DEMAT account.

3. C-ASBA Number

Centralized Application Supported by Blocked Amount (C-ASBA) has just started in Nepal, which is much more organized and efficient than ASBA. It will enable the amount to get blocked at Bank’s end also while verifying the DEMAT and Bank acc after you apply for a share at the primary market. You can apply for a C-ASBA number at the bank after you get your DEMAT Account.
C-ASBA is essential for shares in the primary market, but you do not need it for trading shares at the secondary market.

4. Mero Share Account

With the world and almost every sector getting digitized, the share market has also got digitized with MeroShare. With the MeroShare account, you can apply for shares online without having to visit the bank. This is for applying for shares and the right offerings at the primary market.
