The sum of net commission of all fifty broker houses amounted to Rs 75.12 crores. The broker commission is ranged from 0.4 to 0.6% where an average of 0.5% has been taken for calculation purpose in the table. Out of gross commission, 20% is charged by NEPSE while 15% is paid to government as TDS. The remaining portion after deducting these obligations is the net commission received by the broker house.

SEBON had already implemented the provision for broker houses to reach a minimum paid up capital of Rs 2 crore. The upcoming days are of essence as the broker houses are required to market themselves among a newer segment of online traders. Similarly, with banks implementing broker services, it is further to see how the broker companies will react to this event. Will there be cases as brokers being acquired by banks?  How will broker houses provide more professional services and trade in a larger scale in the upcoming days? The major challenge of broker houses remains to pull in the investors all over Nepal, bring a completely new segment of online traders into the market and assist the current investors with lack of computer skills in online trading.
