Kathmandu, October 15, 2026 — First Microfinance Laghubitta Bittiya Sanstha Limited has proposed an 11.0526 percent cash dividend for its shareholders from the distributable profits of the fiscal year 2082/83, with a total proposed payout of approximately NPR 148.64 million.
The decision was approved during a meeting of the company’s Board of Directors held on Ashwin 27, 2083 (October 13, 2026). The wholesale microfinance institution has opted to distribute returns entirely in cash, without issuing bonus shares for the fiscal year.
NPR 148.64 Million Cash Dividend Proposed
Under the proposal, First Microfinance will distribute a cash dividend of 11.0526 percent, inclusive of applicable dividend taxes. The total proposed amount stands at NPR 148,643,673, equivalent to approximately NPR 14 crore 86 lakh 43 thousand 673.
The dividend percentage has been calculated based on the company’s current paid-up capital of NPR 1,344,871,323, equivalent to approximately NPR 1.344 billion or NPR 1 arba 34 crore 48 lakh 71 thousand 323.
The proposed distribution is intended to provide shareholders with cash returns from the institution’s earnings for the fiscal year 2082/83.
No Bonus Shares for Fiscal Year 2082/83
Alongside the cash dividend proposal, the board has decided not to issue any bonus shares for the fiscal year. Consequently, the proposed shareholder distribution will consist entirely of cash dividends, subject to the required regulatory and corporate approvals.
The proposed dividend has not yet completed the approval process. First Microfinance must obtain formal approval from Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB), after which the proposal will be presented to the company’s upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) for endorsement.
The dividend will be distributed to eligible shareholders only after the necessary approvals have been secured.
With the proposal, First Microfinance Laghubitta Bittiya Sanstha Limited has outlined its shareholder distribution plan for fiscal year 2082/83, proposing a cash payout of 11.0526 percent while retaining its decision not to issue bonus shares.
