MeroShare: IPOs, holdings and the EDIS transfer

MeroShare is CDSC's portal into your Demat account. This guide walks through the first login, applying for an IPO or rights issue, checking an allotment, reading your portfolio, and the one step every seller must do — the EDIS transfer — plus the annual renewal that keeps it all working.

    What MeroShare does

    Your window into the Demat account, run by CDSC at meroshare.cdsc.com.np.

    MeroShare is the online service of CDS and Clearing Ltd. It does not hold your shares — the Demat account does — but it is how you see and act on them: apply for public offers, check what you own and what it is worth, transfer shares to your broker when you sell, and keep your details current. It is available on the web and as an app, and every DP can activate it when they open your Demat.

    My ASBA

    Apply for IPOs, FPOs, rights and mutual-fund units from your phone. Money is blocked in your bank, not paid, until allotment.

    My Portfolio

    Every holding with quantity, last traded price and current value; the share history behind each.

    My EDIS

    The electronic delivery instruction that moves sold shares to your broker — required for every sale.

    My Details & renewal

    Bank, contact and nominee details, the transaction PIN, and the yearly renewal fee.

    First login

    Three identifiers, one temporary password, one PIN.

    1. Collect your credentials

      When your DP opens the Demat with MeroShare, you receive a username (usually your BOID's last eight digits) and a temporary password by email or SMS. You also need your DP ID — the depository participant you pick from the list on the login screen.

    2. Sign in and change the password

      Open meroshare.cdsc.com.np or the app, choose your DP, enter the username and temporary password, and set a new one immediately. Then set a transaction PIN under My Details — you need it for every application and EDIS.

    3. Check My Details

      Confirm the bank account, mobile number and email. Dividends, IPO refunds and OTPs go to whatever is recorded here.

      Nobody from CDSC, your DP or your broker will ever ask for your password or PIN. Log in only at the official address; treat any call or message asking for credentials as fraud.

    Applying for an IPO, FPO or rights issue

    My ASBA, the CRN, and how allotment works.

    Public offers in Nepal are applied for through ASBA (Application Supported by Blocked Amount): the money stays in your bank, blocked, until the allotment is decided. To use it online you need a CRN — the C-ASBA registration number your bank issues once you have a Demat linked to the account. Ask the bank for it if it did not come with your Demat papers.

    1. My ASBA → Apply for Issue

      Open issues are listed with the closing date. Pick the company and check the issue type (IPO, FPO, rights, mutual fund).

    2. Bank, quantity, CRN, PIN

      Choose the bank account, enter the number of shares (the minimum for an IPO is 10; a typical Rs 100 issue means Rs 1,000 for 10 shares), enter your CRN and confirm with the transaction PIN.

    3. Allotment

      Oversubscribed IPOs are allotted by lottery in units of 10 shares, so a large application does not improve your odds. Results appear in My ASBA → Application Report and on the issue manager's site; allotted shares are credited to your Demat and unallotted money is unblocked.

    Rights issues work the same way — but only shareholders on the book-close date may apply, in the announced ratio (1:5 means one new share for every five held). Unapplied rights lapse. See Book Close.
    One application per person per issue. Family members apply from their own Demat accounts and bank accounts; duplicate applications are rejected.

    Selling: the EDIS transfer

    The step most first-time sellers miss — and it has a deadline.

    When you sell shares on NEPSE, the broker has to deliver them to the buyer on T+2. You authorise that delivery yourself through an Electronic Delivery Instruction Slip (EDIS) in MeroShare, by the next working day after the sale (T+1). Miss it and the sale fails to settle — the broker may buy the shares back at your cost and charge a penalty.

    1. My EDIS → Transfer Shares

      The sale appears with the symbol, quantity and the broker. Select it.

    2. Confirm with your PIN

      The shares move from your Demat to the broker's clearing pool. Your broker sees it at once.

    3. Money on T+2

      Sale proceeds, net of commission, fees and capital-gains tax, are paid to your bank or broker balance on the second working day.

    Do it the same day. Sell in the morning, transfer in the afternoon. The DP transaction charge (Rs 25 per company) and any tax are deducted at this stage; the paper DIS is an alternative only if you cannot access MeroShare.

    Reading your portfolio

    What the numbers on My Portfolio mean, and what they do not.

    Current balance
    Shares free to sell. Bought shares appear here after T+2 settlement.
    Previous closing / LTP
    The last traded price NEPSE published, used to value the holding. It is not the price you will get on sale.
    Value as of LTP
    Quantity × last traded price. Add all rows for the portfolio value; it ignores your cost, so it is not your profit.
    Transaction history
    Every credit and debit with its reason: purchase, sale, bonus, rights, IPO allotment, transfer.
    Pledged shares
    Shares used as loan collateral. They stay in your account but cannot be sold until released.
    Cost and profit live elsewhere. MeroShare does not know what you paid. Record buys and sells in Own Portfolio to see average cost, unrealised profit and your break-even after costs and tax.

    Keeping it working: renewal and housekeeping

    An expired MeroShare cannot apply or transfer.

    MeroShare renewalRs 50per year, inside the app or at the DP
    Demat maintenanceRs 100per year, collected by the DP
    Expiry warning30 daysa banner appears before renewal is due
    Renewal validity1 yearrenew for up to three years at once
    • Renew before the expiry date. After expiry the account still shows your holdings but blocks applications and EDIS until paid.
    • Update details through your DP when your bank account, phone number or address changes; MeroShare shows them but the DP records them.
    • Forgot the password? Use Forgot Password with your DP, username and registered email; the PIN is reset the same way.
    • One login per Demat. If you have Demat accounts at two DPs you have two MeroShare logins; holdings do not merge.

    What to remember

    • MeroShare does not hold your shares — it is your window into the Demat: apply for issues, see holdings and transfer sold shares.
    • IPOs, FPOs and rights are applied for in My ASBA with your CRN and PIN; the money stays blocked in your bank until allotment.
    • Oversubscribed IPOs are allotted by lottery in lots of ten shares, so a bigger application does not improve your odds.
    • Every sale needs an EDIS transfer by the next working day (T+1) — and MeroShare must be renewed (Rs 50 a year) to do it.
