    NIC Asia Bank Declares 30.5% Dividend After Two-Year Hiatus


    NIC Asia Bank Limited (NICA) has made an important financial announcement by declaring a dividend for its investors. The decision was reached during a meeting of the bank’s board of directors on Thursday, the 28th of Bhadra. The dividend distribution plan is based on the profits generated during the financial year 79/80.

    Under the proposed dividend plan, NIC Asia Bank intends to allocate a substantial 30.5% of its total paid-up capital to shareholders. This allocation will consist of 29% in the form of bonus shares and 1.5% as cash dividends, which serves the purpose of covering tax obligations.

    This announcement marks a significant change in the bank’s dividend distribution policy. NIC Asia Bank had not distributed dividends to its investors for the past two years. Now, they are proposing a 30.5% dividend distribution, demonstrating their commitment to providing returns to their shareholders.

    It’s important to note that the actual distribution of the dividend is subject to regulatory approval by the Nepal Rastra Bank and will require ratification at the upcoming general meeting of the company. NIC Asia Bank’s decision to declare dividends aligns with similar moves made by other commercial banks like Machhapuchhre, Everest, and Sanima Bank, all of which have also announced proposed dividends based on the profits of the financial year 79/80.
