Siddharth Premier Insurance Dividend Deposited to Shareholders

14th January 2026, Kathmandu

The Siddhartha Premier Insurance dividend distribution has officially begun, bringing positive news for the company’s shareholders in early 2026. Siddhartha Premier Insurance Limited has started depositing the approved cash dividend directly into the bank accounts of eligible shareholders. This follows the successful conclusion of the company’s 32nd Annual General Meeting held on Tuesday, Poush 29, 2082 (January 13, 2026).

The annual general meeting, held at the Rani Mahal Banquet in Gyaneshwor, Kathmandu, approved the proposal to distribute a cash dividend at the rate of 25 percent of the company’s current paid up capital. This distribution follows a year of significant operational transition following the merger of Siddhartha Insurance and Premier Insurance. With a paid up capital of approximately 2.80 billion rupees, the company is distributing a total of 701.6 million rupees to its shareholders.

Dividend Eligibility and Tax Considerations

The 25 percent cash dividend includes the applicable dividend tax. For the purpose of the annual general meeting and dividend distribution, Siddhartha Premier Insurance Limited had announced a book closure on Poush 18, 2082 (January 2, 2026). As per regulatory provisions, only those investors who were registered as shareholders up to the day prior to the book closure date are eligible to receive the cash dividend.

According to the official statement, the Siddhartha Premier Insurance dividend is being credited to the bank accounts linked with shareholders’ dematerialized accounts. The process uses the IPS (Interbank Payment System) to ensure that the 5 percent final withholding tax is deducted at the source before the net amount reaches the investor. This reflects the company’s commitment to efficient and transparent financial practices under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Birendra Bahadur Baidawar Chhetry.

Strategic Milestones and Corporate Governance

The 32nd AGM was not only focused on rewards but also on strategic growth. Shareholders approved a special resolution to authorize the Board of Directors to establish a collective fund scheme, marking the company’s entry into the mutual fund sector. This move aligns with the broader industry trend where insurance companies seek to diversify their investment portfolios and revenue streams.

The initiation of the Siddhartha Premier Insurance dividend payment underscores the company’s financial resilience. Distributing dividends at a 25 percent rate indicates management’s confidence in the company’s earnings and its ability to reward shareholders while maintaining a stable solvency margin. This payout is a follow up to the 30 percent cash dividend distributed in the previous fiscal year, demonstrating a consistent track record of shareholder returns.

Guidance for Shareholders on Payment Delays

The company has encouraged shareholders to ensure that their Demat accounts are fully updated, especially with accurate bank account details and Permanent Account Numbers. This step is crucial for avoiding delays in dividend payments through the CDS and Clearing system. Investors who have not yet updated their banking information or those who still hold physical share certificates may experience delays until the necessary details are properly recorded through their respective Depository Participants.

Siddhartha Premier Insurance Limited remains a dominant force in Nepal’s non life insurance sector, having recently been awarded the Non Life Insurance of the Year 2025 at the Corporate Business Awards. The company continues to focus on underwriting quality and claim settlement efficiency, which has allowed it to maintain a net profit of over 680 million rupees in the previous fiscal cycle.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Siddhartha Premier Insurance dividend distribution marks a positive start to the year for its thousands of investors. With the 25 percent cash dividend now hitting bank accounts, the company has reinforced its position as a shareholder friendly institution. Investors are advised to verify their bank statements and ensure their contact information is current with the company’s share registrar, Siddhartha Capital Limited, to receive all future corporate communications.
