Nepal Docs Guide is not affiliated with the Government of Nepal. This guide helps you prepare, but official portals and offices control final rules, fees, forms, and timelines.
Quick answer
To prepare a lawful capital reduction, prepare audited financial records, shareholder resolution, creditor and solvency information, court or regulator approval if required, confirm the current process with the Office of Company Registrar and CAMIS, complete the official application, and keep the receipt or reference for follow-up.
Eligibility
- Companies restructuring excess, lost or returned capital
- Applicants who need to prepare a lawful capital reduction using matching and genuine records
- An authorized representative only when the responsible authority accepts representation
Required documents checklist
- □ Company registration, authorized person identity and board or shareholder authority
- □ audited financial records
- □ shareholder resolution
- □ creditor and solvency information
- □ court or regulator approval if required
- □ Official CAMIS application, resolution or company-action reference
- □ Official OCR fee or penalty receipt
- □ Any correction, consent, authorization, or supporting record required for your specific case
Step-by-step process
- Confirm that the Office of Company Registrar and CAMIS is the correct authority for this request.

- Submit through the official portal or office and pay only through the approved channel.
- Save the application number, receipt, uploaded-file copies, and any written instruction for follow-up.
Fees and timelines
- Do not rely on an old fee screenshot or an agent's estimate. Check the latest official notice, citizen charter, portal, or responsible office before paying.
- Processing time depends on document matching, office workload, inspection, examination, technical review, or approval level. Keep the receipt and follow-up reference.
Common mistakes
- Using an old form, notice, fee, or unofficial link
- Submitting incomplete or mismatched audited financial records, shareholder resolution, creditor and solvency information, court or regulator approval if required
- Paying an unofficial person or personal account without an official receipt
- Ignoring the difference between a new application, renewal, correction, duplicate, verification, or transfer
- Returning money to shareholders without a lawful reduction can be treated as an improper distribution.
