When Is Gurans Laghubitta Book Close Date for FY 2081/82 Dividend?

Gurans Laghubitta Bittiya Sanstha Limited (GLBSL), a leading microfinance institution listed on the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE), has officially announced the book closure date for its FY 2081/82 dividend as Asadh 16, 2081 (June 30, 2024). This means that only those shareholders who held GLBSL shares before June 30, 2024, are eligible to receive the declared dividend for this fiscal year. Investors purchasing shares on or after the book close date will not be entitled to this year’s dividend benefits.

Earlier, Gurans Laghubitta had declared a total dividend of 15% for FY 2081/82 — comprising 14.25% bonus sharesand 0.75% cash dividend. The dividend proposal was approved by the company’s Board of Directors and will be distributed after approval from the Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) and subsequent endorsement by the Annual General Meeting (AGM). The book closure date, therefore, serves as the official record date that determines which shareholders qualify for this distribution.

The selection of Asadh 16, 2081 as the book close date aligns with standard NEPSE practice, which usually allows a short gap between the dividend declaration and the record date. This ensures fairness in determining eligible shareholders while maintaining transparency in the market. Gurans Laghubitta’s move to maintain consistent dividend payouts — including 15% this year — showcases its strong capital position, operational resilience, and long-term commitment to investor value.

From an investor’s perspective, the book closure date is one of the most critical factors in dividend investing. Those who bought the shares before Asadh 16, 2081, will automatically receive the dividend benefits once approved. This date also helps traders and long-term investors plan their portfolio decisions based on eligibility, dividend yield, and potential capital appreciation.
