Kathmandu, Jan. 14

Nabil Bank Limited has approved a cash dividend of 12.50 per cent to its shareholders.

The 41st Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the bank held in Kathmandu on Monday endorsed the dividend proposed for shareholders from the profits of the fiscal year 2024/25.

The meeting also unanimously elected Anil Keshari Shah as a director representing the promoter shareholders’ group on the Board of Directors.

Meanwhile, the bank’s Board of Directors’ meeting, held on the same day, decided to appoint director Nirvana Kumar Chaudhary as Chairman of the Board. He will assume office after taking the oath of office from the Nepal Rastra Bank.

The bank said in a statement that outgoing Chairman Upendra Prasad Paudel has successfully completed his two terms in office.

"He played a significant role in team building, strengthening digital transformation, advancing sustainable banking initiatives, establishing the Nabil School of Social Entrepreneurship, and successfully completing the bank’s merger process," read the statement.

In the current fiscal year 2025/26, the bank has issued a new capital instrument worth Rs. 5 billion in the form of 'Nabil 8 per cent Irredeemable Non-Cumulative Preference Shares' (50 million units at a face value of Rs. 100 per share).

Following the issuance, the bank expects its capital base to be strengthened through additional Tier I capital, enhancing its risk-bearing capacity and supporting further business expansion.

Nabil Bank currently provides banking services through a nationwide network of 268 branches and 321 ATMs.

The bank serves more than 2.5 million customers and has expressed its commitment to moving forward together with all its stakeholders.
