ASBA & C-ASBA In Nepal: Every Thing You Need To Know
INVESTOPAPER
In the Nepalese stock market, investors prefer to invest in the primary market than the secondary market because of the low risk involved. Investors who do not know much about the secondary market but are willing to invest in securities enter the primary market. The number of investors applying for IPOs and FPOs issued by companies has increased for the same reason. Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) has implemented ASBA system to facilitate the investment in the primary market.

What is ASBA?
The full form of ASBA is Application Supported by Blocked Amount. ASBA is a system of withholding an amount equal to the value of the securities applied by the investor from his/her bank’s account when applying for the purchase of publicly issued securities . This means that the amount of investment is blocked in the investors’ bank account until the allotment of securities (shares/debentures). After the allotment, the allotted amount is withdrawn from his/her respective bank account and the remaining blocked amount is released.

Thus, ASBA system is a system that allows investors to invest directly in publicly issued securities from their own accounts in banks and financial institutions. When investing in securities through this system, you do not have to go to the fixed collection center specified by the Issue manager to apply for shares as in the past.
You can open an account with a bank that has obtained permission from the SEBON to provide ASBA service and apply for the purchase of securities of the desired amount. To view the banks and financial institutions that provide ASBA service in Nepal, click the link below:

What is C-ASBA?
In order to make the ASBA system more organized, accessible and efficient, CDS & Clearing developed integrated software C-ASBA. Earlier, ASBA member banks and financial institutions could apply separately using their software. The C-ASBA system came into implementation since Falgun 11, 2074.
C-ASBA links all the banks and financial institutions providing ASBA related services and the beneficiary account (demat account) and creates a centralized system. This allows for the verification of the bank account details of the investors before entering the applications of the investors.

Banks and financial institutions give CRN (C-ASBA Registration Number) to each investor after verifying the beneficiary account of the investor. Only investors who have obtained the CRN number can apply for the purchase of shares from their bank account. Investors who do not have internet service can also apply by going to the bank with their CRN number and filling up the physical form.
The use of this system verifies the details of the applicants in the issuance of securities. As a result, the issue manager does not have to re-verify the details of all the applicants. This will allow the allotment and distribution of the shares in the short period of time.
