How is Dividend Calculated in Nepal (NEPSE)?
In Nepal, dividends are declared as a percentage of the share's face value (par value), not the market price. Most listed companies have a face value of रू 100 per share (mutual funds रू 10). So a 20% cash dividend means रू 20 per share (20% of रू 100). Gross Cash Dividend = Kitta × Face Value × Dividend%. A 5% TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) is withheld by the company before crediting the net dividend to your bank account linked with MeroShare. For institutions, the TDS rate is 15%.
What is the Difference Between Cash and Stock Dividend?
A cash dividend pays you money directly to your bank account (after TDS deduction). A stock dividend (bonus share) gives you new free shares instead of cash — for example, a 10% stock dividend means you receive 10 new kitta for every 100 kitta you hold. No TDS is deducted on stock dividends at the time of issue. Many companies in Nepal announce both together — e.g. "15% cash + 10% stock dividend". The total dividend value combines your net cash received plus the face value of bonus kitta received.
