OTC Market Registration

In Nepal, the Over the Counter (OTC) Market serves as a specialized platform for companies that do not meet the criteria for a main-board listing on NEPSE. Under the Securities Act, 2063, any transfer of ownership in an unlisted public company must be transacted through this platform. This ensures transparency in pricing and creates a verified audit trail that is required by the OCR to update the company’s official Shareholder Register (Share Lagat).

Legal Requirements under the Securities Act, 2063

According to the Securities Act, 2063, and the NEPSE OTC Market Bylaws, no unlisted public company can facilitate the formal transfer of its shares without first being registered with the OTC Division. According to regulation 23 of the Stock Exchange Operation Regulations, 2064, the trading of unlisted securities requires the submission of audited financial reports for the last three fiscal years, an updated Memorandum of Association (MOA), and Articles of Association (AOA). Furthermore, a formal Board Resolution authorizing the registration is mandatory to establish the company’s baseline for OTC market compliance in Kathmandu.

Under current SEBON directives, attempting “Off-Market” private deals or failing to register with the OTC market can lead to a total legal void. Office of the Company Registrar (OCR) will reject any share lagat update in Nepal that is not backed by a NEPSE-certified transaction deed. This can result in shareholders being unable to claim dividends, exercise voting rights, or prove ownership during legal disputes, making NEPSE OTC registration in Nepal a fundamental safeguard for the company’s corporate integrity.

Process: OTC Market Registration

Company Listing/Onboarding

We assist the company in submitting its financial and legal history to NEPSE to be “onboarded” onto the OTC database for the first time.

Buyer-Seller Price Negotiation

Our team facilitates the price discovery process and prepares the mandatory Schedule 7 and 8 forms required for the trade.

Transaction Execution at NEPSE

We handle the physical filing at the NEPSE OTC counter in Kathmandu, managing the signature verification and ensuring all government service charges are settled.

OCR Share Lagat Update

Once the OTC slip is issued, we take the file to the Office of the Company Registrar to finalize the share transfer and secure the updated Shareholder Register.
