Additionally, NICA has scheduled its 26th AGM for the 28th of Ashwin, 2080, to be conducted at the Army Officer’s Club in Sundhara, Kathmandu, commencing at 9 AM.
One of the primary agendas of this AGM is to seek approval for a 30.5% dividend for the fiscal year 2079/80. This dividend distribution plan includes the issuance of 29% bonus shares and a 1.5% cash dividend, all derived from the bank’s paid-up capital of Rs. 11.56 Arba.

To be eligible for the dividend payout and participation in the AGM, shareholders must be in possession of shares maintained in their name until the 15th of Ashwin. This ensures that those who have held shares up to this specified date are entitled to the proposed dividends and can exercise their voting rights at the upcoming AGM.
