In Nepal, initial public offering (IPO) outcomes are disseminated electronically through the Central Depository System and Clearing Limited (CDSC) via designated depository participant (DP) accounts, often accessible through individual investors’ online brokerage accounts or the “Mero Share” web portal. This system facilitates efficient and transparent distribution of IPO allotment results directly to investors. For example, after an IPO subscription period closes, the allocation process is conducted, and the results, indicating which investors received shares and how many, are published electronically via the CDSC and accessible on these platforms.
This electronic system significantly streamlines the IPO result dissemination process, reducing reliance on traditional, paper-based methods, and enhancing transparency and accessibility for investors. It allows investors to quickly and easily ascertain their IPO allotment status, eliminating the need for physical share certificates and minimizing delays. The implementation of this digital infrastructure represents a significant step in modernizing Nepal’s capital market and empowers individual investors with convenient access to their investment portfolios.
