Mero Share guide: login, IPO, EDIS and holdings.

What is Mero Share?

Mero Share (meroshare.cdsc.com.np) is run by CDSC (CDS and Clearing Ltd.), the central securities depository of Nepal. Every Nepali investor who has a DEMAT account automatically gets a Mero Share login. Think of it as your official share-ownership dashboard: it is the only authoritative record of what you hold in your DEMAT and the only channel for certain actions like IPO applications via C-ASBA.

How do you get your Mero Share login?

When your DP (Depository Participant, usually a bank or broker) opens your DEMAT account, CDSC issues a username and a temporary password alongside your BOID. Your DP hands these to you either printed on a slip or by SMS. If you have lost these, contact your DP; they can request a password reset from CDSC.

First login: step by step

1. Go to meroshare.cdsc.com.np.
2. Select your DP from the dropdown (the bank or broker where you opened the DEMAT).
3. Enter your username and the temporary password.
4. You will be prompted to set a new password immediately. Choose a strong one and note it somewhere safe.
5. Complete any security question setup if prompted.

Once inside, the main menu has sections for My Holdings, My EDIS, Apply for IPO, and Result. Each is covered below.

How do you apply for an IPO?

When a company opens an IPO, the issue appears in the Apply for IPO / Issue menu. To apply:

1. Select the open issue from the list.
2. Choose your bank account for C-ASBA (the bank must be ASBA-enabled and linked to Mero Share).
3. Enter the number of units (kitta) you want to apply for. The minimum is set by the prospectus.
4. Submit. Your bank blocks the application amount immediately. The money is not debited yet.
5. After the allotment draw, the blocked amount is either debited (if allotted) or released (if not).

You can check the result in the My Result section after the company announces allotment. Punji's bulk IPO tool lets you apply to multiple open issues from within the app without separately logging into Mero Share for each one.

What is EDIS and when do you need it?

When you sell shares through your broker's TMS (Trading Management System), the trade is matched on NEPSE, but CDSC also needs your authorisation to transfer those shares out of your DEMAT to the buyer's DEMAT. This authorisation is called an EDIS (Electronic Delivery Instruction Slip). Without it, the settlement fails.

There are two ways to handle EDIS in Mero Share:

• Per-trade EDIS: Each time you sell, your broker sends an EDIS request to Mero Share. You log in, find the pending request under My EDIS, and approve it before the settlement deadline (usually before 3:00 PM that day).
• Standing instruction (bulk EDIS): You can pre-authorise a specific broker to debit shares from your DEMAT for a set period without approving each trade individually. This is faster if you trade frequently with the same broker.

How do you check your holdings?

Go to My Portfolio or My Holdings in Mero Share. You will see each security you own, the quantity (kitta), and the weighted average cost price (WACC) as recorded by CDSC. This data comes from CDSC's own records and is always accurate.

For a richer view, including live P&L, CGT estimates, and a breakdown by sector, link your Mero Share account to Punji's portfolio tracker. Punji imports your CDSC holdings automatically and adds live market prices, so you never have to enter shares manually.

What if you do not have a DEMAT account yet?

You need a DEMAT account before you can access Mero Share. Read how to open a DEMAT account in Nepal for the full step-by-step: which DP to visit, what documents to bring, and what to expect after approval.
