The paid-up capital of the company is Rs. 34,27,44,192, maintained after the joint operation with Gharelu Laghubitta and adjustment of 20% bonus shares thereafter.

Samata Laghubitta saw changes in its shareholding ratio after the merger with Gharelu Laghubitta, a company that wasn't listed in NEPSE, and thus only had promoter shares. This FPO will help the merged company to tend its shareholding ratio back to 70:30.
