Taragaon Regency Hotels Cash Dividend Credited to Shareholders

19th January 2026, Kathmandu

Taragaon Regency Hotels Limited has successfully deposited the approved cash dividend into the bank accounts of eligible shareholders, following the decision endorsed at its 29th Annual General Meeting (AGM). The dividend distribution reflects the company’s commitment to rewarding shareholders and maintaining transparency in corporate actions. This process, initiated in Magh 2082, ensures that investors in one of Nepal’s premier hospitality institutions receive their returns in a timely and secure manner.

Taragaon Regency Hotels Dividend

The 29th AGM of Taragaon Regency Hotels Limited was held on Poush 23, 2082 (January 7, 2026), at the Nepal Army Officers’ Club in Bhadrakali, Kathmandu. During the meeting, shareholders approved the proposal from the Board of Directors to distribute a 5 percent cash dividend for the fiscal year 2081/82. Following the formal endorsement, the company moved swiftly to execute the payment through the electronic banking system.

Shareholder Eligibility and Book Closure

To facilitate the dividend distribution, Taragaon Regency Hotels had announced a book closure period from Poush 7 to Poush 18, 2082. According to the regulatory norms of the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE), shareholders who were registered in the company’s books up to the last trading day before the book closure—specifically Poush 6, 2082—became eligible to receive the dividend and participate in the AGM.

Investors who acquired shares of the hotel after Poush 6 are not entitled to this specific payout. This 5 percent dividend is calculated based on the company’s paid-up capital of approximately Rs 1.96 billion. The payout represents a steady return for investors, reflecting the hotel’s operational stability following the recovery of the tourism sector in Nepal.

Efficient Dividend Credit Process

As per the official notice from the company, the 5 percent cash dividend began reaching shareholders’ bank accounts from Magh 2, 2082. The distribution has been managed through the C-ASBA and IPS systems, which allow for a seamless transfer of funds from the company’s accounts to the individual accounts of thousands of shareholders across the country.

This automated process minimizes the need for physical dividend warrants, reducing administrative costs and ensuring that shareholders have immediate access to their funds. The timely execution of this payment demonstrates Taragaon Regency Hotels Limited’s adherence to modern corporate governance standards and its respect for the timelines set by the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON).

Mandatory Requirements for Receiving Dividends

While the process is largely automated, the company has highlighted two critical requirements that shareholders must fulfill to ensure they receive their dividends without any complications:

Dematerialization of Shares: Taragaon Regency Hotels has issued a strong advisory to shareholders who still hold physical share certificates. These shares must be dematerialized (converted into electronic form) by opening a Demat account and a Mero Share account. Future dividends, bonus shares, and rights issues will only be credited to electronic accounts.

NOC for Pledged Shares: Shareholders who have used their shares as collateral for bank loans as of the book closure date (Poush 6, 2082) must take an additional step. To receive the dividend, they must submit a No Objection Certificate (NOC) or a release letter from their respective lending institution. This ensures that the dividend is released with the full consent of the lien holder.

Failure to address these requirements can lead to the dividend amount being held in a suspense account until the necessary documentation is provided to the company’s share registrar.

Financial Health of the Hospitality Sector

The distribution of a 5 percent cash dividend by Taragaon Regency Hotels is seen as a positive indicator for the broader hospitality and tourism sector in Nepal. The Hyatt Regency Kathmandu, the company’s flagship property, has benefited from the surge in international tourist arrivals and the increase in high-profile events in the capital.

For long-term investors, consistent dividend payments like this one provide a reliable income stream and signal that the company is generating sufficient cash flow to cover its operational expenses and reward its owners. The hotel’s stock (TRH) remains a key component of the NEPSE “Hotels and Tourism” index, and this dividend announcement helps maintain investor interest in the hospitality segment of the capital market.

Conclusion

The completion of the Taragaon Regency Hotels cash dividend distribution marks a successful corporate milestone in early 2082. By crediting the 5 percent dividend promptly, the company has reinforced the trust of its shareholders. Eligible investors are encouraged to check their bank statements and ensure their Demat details are up to date to receive all future benefits seamlessly.
