Nepal SBI Bank Ltd. has published an important notice for its shareholders and investors. The notice is about collecting or claiming unclaimed dividends and rights amounts that have remained unpaid for the past five years.
What Is the Notice About?
Some shareholders have not claimed the cash dividends or rights issue amounts declared by the bank for various fiscal years (from 2075/76 to 2079/80 B.S.). This includes:
-
Dividends from the bank’s initial public offering (IPO)
-
Dividends from further public offerings (FPO)

Rights share refunds

Sales proceeds of fractional shares

Other company-related financial entitlements
If any shareholder has not collected these amounts within five years of declaration, they are now requested to take action before it is too late.
