    Possible challenges while receiving large sum of money from Abroad.


    May sending a large sum of money to Nepal may present challenges for both the sender and receiver. Are there difficulties associated with transferring a substantial amount from abroad? What risks, problems, or formalities must one navigate in this process?

    In a specific case, if a business owner in the USA aims to send a significant amount, such as a billion, to their family in Nepal, are there potential obstacles, and can the family smoothly receive such a substantial sum?

    Moreover, does the NRB scrutinize the transaction before the receiver gains access to the funds? Seeking insights from experts familiar with this field would be beneficial to clarify any doubts.

    Slow Progress: Narayangadh-Butwal Road Project 46% Complete


     

    The Narayangadh-Butwal road expansion, part of the East-West Highway, is only 46% complete after five years, with significant work remaining. Engineer Shiv Khanal, from the project’s Eastern Section, attributes the slow progress to contractors not sticking to their schedules. The China State Construction Engineering Corporation Limited began the project in 2075 B.S. with a four-year target, but it’s behind. Rakesh Jha, the contract co-manager, suggests a one-year extension as it can’t be finished in the current extended period.

    Upper Tamakoshi Hydropower Limited Initiates Auction for Unclaimed Right Shares


    Upper Tamakoshi Hydropower Limited (UPPER) is currently conducting an auction for its unclaimed right shares, which commenced on the 13th of Poush and is scheduled to conclude on the 29th of Poush, 2080. The auction involves 1,70,19,530 units of ordinary right shares, representing the remaining portion of the rights offering issued by the company. The rights offering, in a 1:1 ratio, occurred between the 18th of Bhadra and the 22nd of Ashwin, 2080, where a total of 105,900,000 shares were issued. Eligible shareholders were allotted 8,88,80,470 shares, leaving 1,70,19,530 shares unclaimed. The ongoing auction is managed by Sunrise Capital Limited.

    The minimum bid rate for the auction is set at Rs. 100, with a minimum bid quantity of 100 units and a maximum bid quantity of 5,00,000 units. After the adjustment of the proposed right share, UPPER’s paid-up capital will increase to Rs. 21.18 Arba.

    In its recent financial report for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2080/81, UPPER reported a net profit of Rs. 1.00 Arba, resulting in an annualized earnings per share of Rs. 25.20. The net worth of the company stands at Rs. 60.97, with Rs. 73.01 Arba in long-term loans and Rs. 3.04 Arba in short-term loans.

    Upper Tamakoshi Hydropower Limited closed at Rs. 198 per share on January 9th, with a 52-week high of Rs. 590 and a low of Rs. 190. Established in 2007 by the Nepal Electricity Authority, UPPER is a key player in the hydropower sector, focusing on the Upper Tamakoshi Hydroelectric Project.

    The decision to issue 100% right shares aims to strengthen UPPER’s financial position amid challenges faced during the construction of the Upper Tamakoshi Hydroelectric Project. Unforeseen circumstances and a prolonged construction period led to increased costs, prompting the issuance of right shares to address rising interest expenses. The issuance was approved during the 14th Annual General Meeting in 2079, aligning with the company’s commitment to financial restructuring and stability.

    The construction phase of the project initially had a loan-to-equity ratio of 70% to 30%, but the evolving financial landscape and increased costs necessitated a shift in this ratio. The proposed right shares will contribute to stabilizing the company’s financial health and facilitate further growth opportunities. UPPER aims to fulfill its financial requirements, ensuring it remains well-positioned to navigate future challenges and contribute significantly to Nepal’s energy sector.

    Regarding the company’s capital across fiscal years, after the adjustment of 100% right shares, UPPER’s authorized capital for 2080/81 stands at Rs. 30 Arba, with issued and paid-up capital also at Rs. 21.18 Arba. The Mathillo Tamakoshi Jalbidhyut Yojana, a run-of-river type project, is the flagship project with a maximum output of 456 MW.

    The management team, led by CEO Mr. Mohan Prasad Gautam, oversees various aspects of the company’s operations. The board of directors plays a crucial role in guiding UPPER’s strategic decisions.

    In conclusion, UPPER’s move to issue 100% right shares presents an opportunity for investors to acquire shares at a lower price. The ongoing auction of unclaimed right shares provides investors with a chance to participate and potentially enhance returns. Existing shareholders can consider averaging their cost price through this opportunity.

    The company’s core revenue source, Net Interest income, experienced a decline of 18.26%, amounting to Rs. 3.28 crores up to the third quarter of the ongoing fiscal year. This decrease in Net Interest income has adversely affected the profitability of AVYAN.

    Another notable change is the doubling of the Cost of Funds, which reached 13.90% in Q3 of the ongoing fiscal year. This increase has added to the financial challenges faced by AVYAN.

    The staff expenses of the financial institution have witnessed a sharp spike of 94.13%, amounting to Rs. 5.31 crores up to the third quarter, in contrast to Rs. 2.73 crores in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year. This surge in staff expenses has added to the financial burden of the company.

    AVYAN currently maintains a paid-up capital of Rs. 25 crores, with reserve and surplus funds amounting to Rs. 2.19 crores. However, the company reports a negative Earnings per Share (EPS) ratio of Rs. -6.50 and a Net Worth of Rs. 108.79.

    The closing price of AVYAN’s shares at the end of the third quarter of the ongoing fiscal year stood at Rs. 619.9.

  • What is Domaining? How to Begin a Domain Name Business

    What is Domaining? How to Begin a Domain Name Business


    For those who are unfamiliar with the domaining business, it entails buying, selling, developing, and monetizing domain names. It is, in fact, a BIG business with the potential to earn you a million dollars. You may not believe me, but when you consider that AsSeenOnTv.com was sold for $5.1 million, Autos.com was sold for $2.2 million, Express.com was sold for $1.8 million, and so on.

    It’s a million-dollar business, but it’s not just about big names; expert domainers frequently make $10,000 or $100,000 on unknown domains as well. With so many new domain name extensions entering the market and so many businesses closing down and abandoning premium domain names on a daily basis, the industry is constantly growing. This expansion brings with it an ever-increasing potential for success, but it also brings with it a slew of new challenges.

    This article will go over a few important checklist items to think about when starting a domaining business from scratch.

    1- Recognize that you will need some money to make more money:

    Yes, money is required to start a domaining business, and it can range between $100 and $100,000. Successful domainers typically own a large number of domains to build their portfolio, but you can begin with a small number. A lot depends on the business model you choose, and your financial needs will vary accordingly.

    2- Skills Required

    To be honest, you don’t need any specific skills, but you should be eager to learn, gain experience, and grow. The best way to learn about domaining is to do it yourself. To be successful in your domaining business, you will need experience, which you will gain through experimentation and learning from relevant domaining resources such as Purely Space. Never close the doors to learning, and you will find success!

    3- Be Aware of and Understand the Risk:

    In reality, no business is risk-free, and domaining business is no exception. You must be aware of the various types of risks associated with the domaining business, such as domain marketplace scams, the value of.com names (or other top-level domains) decreasing for various reasons, typosquatting popular companies can result in a lawsuit from the company, and so on. Domaininvesting.com has correctly described the five types of risks associated with the domaining business.

    4- Avoid the Wrong Ways to Make Money from Domaining:

    Every business has ethical and unethical ways to make money, and the domaining business has some unethical ways to make money as well. It is critical to be aware of and avoid these bad habits. The following business models should be avoided:

    • Domain hijacking is the process of stealing an internet domain name from its rightful registrant.
    • Cybersquatting is the practice of registering domain names in bad faith in order to profit from the goodwill of a trademark that you do not own.
    • Typosquatting occurs when you register domains that closely resemble popular domains, such as Goolge.com, MciroSoft.com, and so on, with the intent of gaining traffic and possibly selling the domain at a higher price. It may not be illegal, but it increases the likelihood of a lawsuit from the companies.

    5- Discovering the Most Profitable Strategy:

    If you are serious about getting into the domaining business, the best option is to go the legal route, which is both risk-free and highly rewarding. Here are some of the most successful domaining business models.

    1. Domain monetization is one of the best business models because it is low risk, completely legal, and can yield massive profits. You purchase domains, create strategies to profit from the traffic they generate, and then sell the site for anywhere between 12 and 24 times the site’s monthly revenue + brand price.
    2. Another business model is domain development, in which you buy brandable domains, add a website and a service to the domain, and capitalize on traffic until you sell the domain name and its service.
    3. Domain capitalization is a risky business model, but if you’re good at valuing domains, it can help you sell the next million dollar domain. For example, if you purchase fitandtrim.com with the expectation that a product or service with that name will be released sometime in the future, you are the only person who can purchase this domain.

    In conclusion:

    Make sure to choose the right business model before you begin your domaining venture. Take some time to learn about all of the different business models and then select the one that suits you best. Experienced domainers run multiple business models at the same time, but as a newcomer, it’s best to start with a single direction.
