📘 How to Open a Demat Account in Nepal: Full Guide for 2025

 🔑 Why You Need a Demat Account

A Demat (Dematerialized) account is the first gateway to digital investing in Nepal. Whether you want to apply for IPOs via MeroShare or actively trade on NEPSE, having a Demat account is non-negotiable.

It stores your securities electronically — no paperwork, no physical share certificates. Just tap, track, and trade from your phone or computer.

🪜 Step-by-Step: How to Open Your Demat Account in Nepal

1️⃣ Choose a Depository Participant (DP)

DPs are authorized institutions like:

  • Banks (e.g., NMB Bank, Global IME Bank, NIC Asia)
  • Brokerage firms (e.g., Naasa Securities, Midas Stock)
  • Merchant banks

You can visit their branch or apply online through their portals.

2️⃣ Fill Out the Demat Account Application Form

Required details include:

  • Citizenship certificate or valid ID
  • PAN card (optional but useful for future transactions)
  • Passport-size photo
  • Mobile number and email address Note: Some banks allow form submission via their mobile apps.

3️⃣ Submit KYC Documents

KYC (Know Your Customer) is a compliance step. You'll need:

  • Verified ID and contact info
  • Signatures on required disclosures

4️⃣ Receive Your CRN Number

After your Demat account is approved, you’ll get:

  • Your 16-digit Demat number
  • A CRN (C-ASBA Registration Number) — needed for MeroShare IPO applications

5️⃣ Register on MeroShare

Go to meroshare.cdsc.com.np

  • Select your DP and log in with your credentials
  • Use MeroShare to apply for IPOs/FPOs, track holdings, and view transaction history

🧠 Pro Tips for Beginners

  • Start with IPO applications — they’re lower risk and beginner-friendly.
  • Enable two-factor authentication for both your email and MeroShare.
  • Follow SEBON, NRB, and financial creators for updates on market trends
