Convert
No converter was built here, and for the most part none is needed: the app already presents rupee amounts, share counts and dates in the units a Nepali reader expects.
What this page is
This route renders a heading and an information icon. There are no from and to boxes, and nothing will convert a value for you.
The information icon is the useful part. It sets out the rupee scale, what kitta means, the two different meanings of volume, and how the app shows NEPSE dates and times. Reading it once removes the need for a converter almost everywhere in the app.
The one item genuinely worth memorising is volume, because the same word carries two different meanings depending on what you are looking at. Everything else is arithmetic you will absorb in a week.
Why it helps you
- Volume is the trap that costs you money. On the floor sheet and on a stock chart, volume is a share count, so comparing it against an index figure that is really rupees will make a stock look thousands of times more active than it is.
- Scale is the trap that costs you an afternoon. Reported profits arrive in lakh and turnover in crore, and misreading one for the other is the fastest way to get a valuation wrong by a factor of a hundred.
When to use it, and where to find it
- Once, early on, when a figure elsewhere in the app does not have the magnitude you expected.
- The first time you compare an index volume against a stock volume and the numbers look absurd.
Try it — a short walkthrough
- 1Expect nothing on the pageThe body is blank. There is no field to type into and no result — this route has no converter and never had one.See this part in detail →
- 2Read the information iconIt is the whole content of the page: the rupee scale, kitta, the two meanings of volume, and how dates and times are shown.See this part in detail →
- 3Check the rule against a real figureOpen the Dashboard and compare the index turnover with a stock's volume column. One is money and one is a share count, and seeing the two side by side fixes the idea.See this part in detail →
Every part of the page
In the order you meet them on screen, each with a close-up of the real thing. The numbers match the dots on the figure above.
The page body is empty
This whole area is where a from/to converter would sit. It is blank.
How — Nothing to type here.
The ⓘ holds the conversions
The ⓘ beside this heading is the useful part of the page. It lists the rupee scale, what kitta means, the two meanings of volume, and how NEPSE dates and times are shown.
How — Read it once and you will not need a converter for most of the app.
- 1 Lakh = 100,000 · 1 Crore = 100 Lakh = 10,000,000. Turnover is usually shown in crore (Cr), profit figures in lakh.
- Kitta simply means one share — "100 kitta" is 100 shares.
Where these units show up
The one thing worth memorising: volume means TWO different things. For NEPSE and the 12 sector sub-indices, volume is turnover in RUPEES. For an ordinary stock, volume is the QUANTITY of shares traded (kitta).
How — You will see both on Main → Dashboard and Main → Chart. Filter → FloorSheet shows stock quantity, so its volume column is a share count, never money.
- An index has no share count, which is why its "volume" has to be an amount.
- A stock's turnover is worked out separately as price × quantity.
Reading the numbers
- One lakh is 100,000 and one crore is 100 lakh, or 10,000,000. Turnover is usually shown in crore and profit figures in lakh.
- Kitta means one share. A hundred kitta is a hundred shares, and share counts are never abbreviated with the K, L and Cr suffixes used for money.
- For NEPSE and the twelve sector sub-indices, volume is turnover in rupees. An index has no share count, so its volume has to be an amount.
- For an ordinary stock, volume is the quantity of shares traded. Its turnover is a separate figure, price multiplied by quantity.
- NEPSE reports use the Nepali fiscal year, which runs mid-July to mid-July. Charts and timestamps in this app are Kathmandu time, NPT, which is UTC plus five hours and forty-five minutes.
What it does not do
- This page converts nothing. It has no inputs, no output and no history.
- There is no Bikram Sambat conversion anywhere in the app. A BS date has to be converted before you can use it in a filter or a calendar note.
- There is no currency conversion either. Every amount in the app is Nepali rupees.
Questions people ask
They are different quantities with the same label. The index figure is turnover in rupees; the stock figure is a count of shares. They are not comparable and should never be added together.
Only the information icon beside the heading. Everything it explains is already applied for you wherever the app shows a number.
Not here, and not anywhere else in the app. Dates on screen are Gregorian, so a BS date has to be converted outside the app first.
