List of ASBA/C-ASBA Charges of Commercial Banks in Nepal (Updated 2022)

The Centralized Application Supported by the Blocked Amount (C-ASBA) process, which began on February 23, 2018, allows investors to purchase shares online. C-ASBA is a more user-friendly version of the ASBA interface. It connects all the ASBA services, financial institutions, and companies of the Nepali Stock Market.

CASBA helps the bank authenticate consumers’ bank accounts and balances before applying for a primary market offering. It also checks the system and looks for double applications using the same account, saving time and problems for the issue manager and share registrars.

Application Supported by Blocked Amount (ASBA) is an application that allows you to subscribe to an issue with authorization to block the money in your bank account. Mero Share is a system developed by CDS and Clearing Limited (CDSC) which allows shareholders to apply for shares (IPO, FPO, Right, Mutual Fund, and Debentures) online after they have registered with C-ASBA.Banks deduct an application fee from your account as a service charge for blocking the money needed to apply for an issued share, while some banks provide free service. The following is a list of Nepalese banks, along with their C-ASBA service charges per application.

From the above table, I have selected the banks that offer Free C-ASBA services in Nepal.
