A plain-language Nepal guide for eligible public companies considering private status who need to prepare a public-to-private conversion, with evidence, submission, safety, and official-source checks.
Independent guide, not an official website
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 public-to-private conversion, prepare shareholder and creditor records, special resolution, revised constitutional documents, securities and sector clearance, 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
- Eligible public companies considering private status
- Applicants who need to prepare a public-to-private conversion 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
- □ shareholder and creditor records
- □ special resolution
- □ revised constitutional documents
- □ securities and sector clearance
- □ 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.
- Compare names, dates, addresses, registration numbers, account numbers, and other identifiers across shareholder and creditor records, special resolution, revised constitutional documents, securities and sector clearance.
- Confirm legal eligibility, protect public and minority interests, obtain required approvals, change the company name and articles, and update every regulator and contract.
- 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 shareholder and creditor records, special resolution, revised constitutional documents, securities and sector clearance
- Paying an unofficial person or personal account without an official receipt
- Ignoring the difference between a new application, renewal, correction, duplicate, verification, or transfer
- A company with public securities, dispersed shareholders or regulatory duties may not convert through a simple resolution.

After submitting
- Check the spelling and reference number on the acknowledgement or receipt.
- Track the application only through the official portal, SMS, email, or office contact.
- Respond to a deficiency notice with the requested evidence rather than creating a duplicate application.
- Keep the final certificate, licence, approval, account update, or rejection reason with the supporting records.
Avoid document and payment shortcuts
Do not alter certificates, hide mismatches, upload another person's records, share passwords or OTPs, pay an unofficial personal account, or accept a promise of guaranteed approval. Use the official portal and keep payment and submission evidence.
What was verified from the official source
The official OCR website publishes company administration, CAMIS, post-registration services, annual records, beneficial-owner filing, amendments, deregistration, fees, notices, forms and complaint information.
