Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) has announced that it will collect Rs. 30 billion from banks and financial institutions through a competitive bidding process as part of its regular liquidity management operations. The deposit collection will be carried out for a period of 56 days, with the bidding scheduled for Jestha 20, 2083 (June 3, 2026) through an online bidding system.
Under this mechanism, participating banks and financial institutions will submit bids indicating both the amount they wish to deposit and the interest rate they are willing to accept. The interest rate will be determined through competitive bidding. NRB has set the minimum bid size at Rs. 10 crore, while bids must be submitted in multiples of Rs. 5 crore, subject to the total issue size of Rs. 30 billion. Institutions are allowed to place multiple bids within the overall limit.
Only ‘A’, ‘B’, and ‘C’ class licensed banks and financial institutions approved by NRB are eligible to participate. Once bids are accepted, the corresponding amount will be directly deducted from the participating institutions’ accounts and placed in a separate NRB account. Failure to maintain sufficient balance at settlement may result in restrictions on future participation.
The deposited amount will mature on Shrawan 13, 2083 (July 29, 2026), along with the agreed interest. However, early withdrawal will not be permitted. NRB also clarified that this deposited amount will not be counted as part of the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR), although it will be considered in other liquidity management indicators. The central bank stated that this measure is aimed at absorbing excess liquidity from the banking system and maintaining monetary stability.
