C-ASBA Charges of Commercial Banks in Nepal (Updated: 2025)

C-ASBA stands for "Centralized Applications Supported by Blocked Amount". It is a system used by banks to facilitate the process of applying for shares in Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) electronically.

Under the C-ASBA system, investors can submit their applications for shares in IPOs through their bank's online banking portal or mobile application. The amount required to purchase the shares is blocked in the investor's bank account until the shares are allotted or refunded.

This system simplifies the IPO application process by eliminating the need for physical forms and manual submission at the bank's branch. It also ensures transparency and reduces the possibility of errors and fraud.
