Additional Capital Required For Non-Life Insurance Companies

March 27, 2022 | Investopaper

With the new directive issued by the Insurance Board (Beema Samiti), non-life insurance companies have to meet the minimum paid-up capital of Rs 2.50 Arba. At current, there are 20 non-life (general) insurance companies operating in Nepal. Out of the 20 companies, two (National and Oriental) are the branches of foreign insurance companies. Hence, they are not traded in Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE).

These companies should increase their capital by the end of Chaitra, 2079 BS. Hence, they have one year time period to raise their capital. They can do so through merger/acquisition, issue of right shares or issue of bonus shares.

Among these insurance companies, Rastriya Beema Company (RBCL) has a lowest paid-up capital of Rs 26.66 crores. Hence, it has to raise the capital by more than 9 times or Rs. 223.34 crores. On the other hand, Shikhar Insurance (SICL) has the highest capital of Rs. 228.60 crores. SICL has to increase its capital by only Rs. 21.40 crores or 10 percent.
