New brokers' test results on Wednesday

Nepse will publish the final list of the eligible contenders of the new share brokers' license test on Wednesday. The last date of re-applying was on August 31, the next ten days Nepse had set aside to reevaluate the applications and whether they still meet the criterion. After the end of the deadline for application, only 162 of the original 316 applicants had reapplied for the exam. "So far, there is no sign of any possible hassles regarding the matter, so hopefully, the exam will take place as per schedule," said Nepse General Manager Shanker Man Singh.
"We are tabulating the information regarding the applicants examining whether they are still eligible or not," he added. After two and half year long hiatus, this time Nepse is moving cautiously with the whole process. Thus, the test for remaining 25 marks will also be automatic with instant result, in order to avoid any pressure or manipulations. Nepse had published the notice regarding resumption of the share broker's selection process on August 10 after two and a half years. The notice also asked the applicants to restate their eligibility in writing. When the process was halted in February 2008, Nepse had already selected 316 applicants from the total of 336 applicants that had to go through test of 25 marks. But Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) halted the process questioning the transparency in the appointment process just the day before the test was going to take place.

With this in mind, it is planning to come up with an equity fund of Rs. 5 billion through foreign direct investment. Setting up mutual fund, getting into housing and consumer finance and pension fund are among GIL's future plans. GIL has technical collaboration with Ernst & Young for this venture.

SBI Bank suspends accounts of 400

Nepal SBI Bank, Biratnagar has suspended the accounts of more than 400 customers found to be involved in withdrawing Indian currency (IC) in India with Nepali ATM cards. They were found making the withdrawals in the Indian towns of Farbisgunj and Jogbani on the same day they deposited Nepali rupees in banks in Nepal. "We have suspended the accounts of those found misusing the ATMs and forwarded a list of the accounts facing suspension to Nepal Rastra Bank," said Ameet Koirala, manager of SBI Bank, Biratnagar. The trend of using Nepali ATM cards for withdrawing Indian currency from Indian banks is increasing amid the deepening shortage of Indian currency in the Nepali market.

However, SBI Bank has not disclosed the names of the customers involved. An official at Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) Biratnagar Office said most of account holders involved in misusing the ATMs are money changers. "We have also instructed other banks to suspend the accounts of such customers," the official added. The central bank has demanded details of customers who withdraw at least 25,000 rupees in Indian currency at a time and 200,000 per month. NRB had given permission to 19 local money changers to exchange a maximum of 2,000 rupees Indian per person. In addition, NRB has been making available 5,000 to 30,000 Indian rupees for those going to India for medical treatment. Nepali customers are estimated to have been withdrawing at least 10 million Indian rupees per day from Farbisgunj, using the Nepali Visa Debit Card.
