Issue Types
IPO, FPO, right share and bonus share explained for Nepalese investors
IPO, FPO, right-share, and bonus-share events all affect investors differently. This guide explains the practical difference before you prepare Demat accounts or track ownership events.
IPO
An initial public offering is usually a company's first public share issue. Investors apply during the opening window and allotment depends on demand and issue rules.
FPO
A follow-on public offering is an additional public issue by a company that is already public. Application readiness still depends on timing, Demat, bank, and MeroShare details.
Right share
A right share is offered to eligible existing shareholders. Missing the window can mean missing an ownership opportunity tied to shares you already hold.
Bonus share
A bonus share is issued to existing shareholders from company reserves. It is usually an ownership event to track, not the same kind of public application window as an IPO or FPO.

FAQ
Common questions
Do IPO, FPO and right share applications all happen through MeroShare? + -
Eligible public applications are generally submitted through MeroShare workflows. Lagani Saathi helps organize issue timing, accounts, and authorized submissions.
Is a bonus share the same as a right share? + -
No. A right share usually requires eligible shareholders to apply and pay within a window. A bonus share is generally issued from company reserves to existing shareholders.
Why do right-share deadlines need extra attention? + -
Right shares are linked to existing ownership, so eligible shareholders may want to track opening and closing dates carefully before the application window passes.
