If you’re investing in the Nepali share market, chances are you’ve already come across Mero Share. This digital platform, launched by CDS & Clearing Limited (CDSC), has transformed the way investors apply for IPOs, track their holdings, and manage their Demat accounts. In this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about Mero Share in Nepal — from setup to advanced features, security tips, and frequently asked questions.
What is Mero Share?
Mero Share is an online system that gives investors access to their Demat accounts. It works as a bridge between you (the investor), your Depository Participant (DP), and CDSC. Through the web portal meroshare or the mobile app, you can perform nearly all share-related activities without having to visit your bank or broker physically.
Why is Mero Share Important in Nepal?
Before Mero Share, investors had to rely heavily on paper forms, manual bank processes, and long queues. Today, almost every IPO and FPO application in Nepal goes through the Mero Share ASBA system.
Here’s why Mero Share has become essential:
1. Convenience: Apply for IPOs or check allotment results from your phone.
2. Transparency: Track blocked amounts, refunds, and share allotments in real time.
3. Security: Dematerialized shares reduce the risk of physical share certificates being lost or forged.
4. Accessibility: Anyone with a Demat account and an internet connection can use it.
